Pom didn't come into season until December last year.  She was then due New Year's Eve so I thought I'd give that time a miss and take her to the billy at the end of January.  Suddenly realised her CAE certificate was out of date so made and appointment for the vet to come but it snowed so he couldn't get here and I couldn't get her anywhere.  Oh well, we'll have another chance in February.

BUT
...   she was due yesterday (Friday) and nothing happened.  Still nothing today.  It looks like she may  have finished for the winter.   :rant:

One of ours comes in every 3 weeks to the day, we thought she was finished as she was due in on monday but low and behold 6.30am this morning she was screaming the place down and William was shouting his head off in reply to her   ::)

There's hope yet then.

Unless, she's having a laugh at my expense, we may be off to the billy tomorrow.  She started bleating late this afternoon although she is quieter now.
