So, I was dishing up dinner and she went outside for a cigarette (yes, she still smokes) so I followed her out pretending to get something from the car and just asked how she was. She ignored me so I made a bit of a joke of it and went 'helloooo, anyone there' so she didnt really have a choice but to take notice! Asked her how things were progressing with the pregnancy and genuinely tried to be nice. She asked me if I was looking forward to the scan and then said they were going to get one done too so I thought that was the ideal opportunity to ask her why she always copies us! I just said a bit tongue in cheek 'You naughty pair, always stealing our ideas!!' and she asked what I meant so I explained (nicely) that I felt that she copied everything we did and it made me feel a bit deflated sometimes. She snapped back 'you're not the first pregnant person, its not like its all YOUR ideas, its just what pregnant people do!' I was furious! I tried staying calm and explaining how hurt I was about her putting the ad in the paper and things like that and she said 'Shut up Zoe, you've always been jealous of me, just get over yourself. You've always wanted everything I have and its about time you learnt that people dont give a shit about you'
I felt like taking her cigarette off her and stubbing it out in her eye!!!!

Needless to say I stormed back inside and calmed myself down before I went a step too far and killed the bitch!!!!!!

Sorry im such an angry cow on mondays - I usually see her on the weekend so when I think about it on a monday I get very worked up!!!

OH just did the usual, sort of grunted and said 'you know what shes like', he never seems to get too involved!

She told OH's sister (who absolutely hates her but is fantastic at pretending to be her best friend!) that she cant wait for me to have beanie because as soon as shes out, give it a week and everyone will get bored of her and will be more interested in her LO. FFS, what is she on, why all the competition!! I dont think that will be the case somehow! I cant really see the in laws 'getting bored' of their first grandchild quite so quickly!

Well, we've been trying to keep the date of our 4d scan secret because we knew she would try and find a way to spoil it. Found out last night that OH had told his brother, which I havent got a prob with at all, but ive just got a text message to say that their 20 week scan has now been brought forward to the same date as our 4d!!! We have only told our parents and siblings because OH's family are having a bbq that evening and we wanted to suprise everyone with the dvd - but now she is having her scan on the same day no one will care because they'll all be too interested in them finding out the sex of theirs. God knows how she had it brought forward because she will only just be 18 weeks!!! Just seems funny that no sooner has she found out the date of our scan she goes and changes hers to the same date. I didnt even think they did 20 week scans on a saturday!!

Then, whilst I was sitting here fuming over that, I picked up our little local paper. Its OH's birthday next week and I put a little message in the announcements section to him from me and LO, wishing him a happy birthday. SIL has put a great big message in the same section (I know it was her as his bro didnt know there was a message in there until OH asked him and no one else in his family has put an announcement in) from them, which makes mine look absolutely ridiculous. I thought OH would be so pleased to see a little something in there from LO (obviously shes not here yet but I know he would have liked it) but it got overshadowed by theirs.

Im prob getting totally worked up over nothing but its really pissed me off. Why does she have to do it? Sorry it sounds pathetic now ive read it back but its made me really mad
