Marking my place with a napping baby on my lap. Haven't shredded so far today - not sure I can be bothered, have done my hair...maybe every other day is going to be ok...

hello! Sorry about the rubbish nights. S does quite well, it's bloody dh working till midnight most nights that stops me having a decent night. Glad about Zoe's tree Jane. I used to have ridiculously heavy periods. I remember one time going through a super plus tampon and a pad every ten minutes for a few hours 
I didn't dare sit down! That was before I had dcs but the gynae assured me that would actually help with conception. 
Sorry for the tmi. Working my way up to the spinning class later this morning!
Gorgeous photos everyone! Ds1 looks at our wedding photos and tells me I was a princess! I wasn't, but it's quite sweet to hear!

ponyo I'm feeling immense pressure on this thread now 
- maybe I can tempt you all in by buying more and of course lots of
jane I hope the nasty sounding period gets lighter soon - sounds v . Can't comment afraid as not had mine yet but not looking forward, especially as chances are I'll have my coil in by then which apparently make periods heavier than usual

jane my 2nd period after Anna came today and so far it seems much more "normal". My first one was really heavy which really isn't like me. I was also light headed but that might have been because I was necking co-codamol like they were going out of business.
ponyo I always thought the worry over cot bumpers was that the ties could become loose and baby could get caught up in them. Oh and its always o'clock somewhere

Hiya...it's Elle but I've name changed!
Jane my first AF was way heavier too - I resorted to the last of my maternity pads (tmi?!).
wiggles I couldn't agree more...am wondering I my WW points will allow me a glass of later....

Am going to update stats after dinner, well after E Entertainment News lets be honest and before I catch up on Glee!! Oh the excitement of my life now
So if there are any lurkers out there, and you know who you are, just post if you want your details added. You know how I get if the stats aren't up to date and I've ordered the Shred so am trying to displace any nervousness by obsessing about the list instead

Bet this thread isn't as good as mine actually maybe it will be since reastie and I are long lost twins BTW can't find that photo, will keep looking.
reastie how much did you pay for your tripp trapp highchair? And was it a tripp trapp or just the same style? We want another one for S, Imy has one already which we bought in Slovenia for 40euros, all kids have them there.
Halloumi avocado and walnut salad for tea yum yum yum, am salivating already. Then rice pudding. With jam. Anyone coming over?
Yes I've heard that baby can get stuck behind cot bumpers or as wiggles said caught in ties. Plus when they're older they can climb up on them. However I remember the foot stuck in bars issue- Imy once kept crying a bit in the night then going off then crying again- eventually went in and her leg was well and truly wedged between the bars! Poor mite.
Yes, lurkers, show yourselves, we will placate led the shred with mucho . Where are you ledkr anyway? Was thinking about your DH last night- he's a copper, isn't he? If I come to Cheltenham and am Very Very Naughty, will he arrest me?

deb I did notice you live in the south east - me too - will you be any more specific about where? Maybe we are twins that live near 
. It's not a tripp trapp brand, it's I think east coast. I paid 25 squid :) Rice pudding? That's my ultimate fave pud - must remember to cook that - I love the oven one and it's not that unhealthy when you don't add much sugar and use skimmed milk (not so good when you put loads on jam in though )
We have a cot 'book' up on our cot - it's up the top of the cot side so there's a gap at the bottom. ALice loves staring at it - it's got drawings of animals - one side black and white one side colour.
just realised the kitchen man has put in the WRONG SINK ! Long story - gave us 2 quotes and fitted the sink for the other quote, not the option we chose. It means our microwavw doesn't fit where it did (hence why I only just realised). Feeling really 
mizk that skinny jeans outfit sounds good, but don't trust me - I have no idea on fashion
lol - just listening to DH on the baby monitor reading to alice his 'knowledge' magazine - some really dull article about weather patterns

Do babies just get stuck in the bars in the cot then?!
MizK if you're going to see Devlin it will probably be full of rude boy types I walk into town past the uni and its weird seeing all the annoying skinny students, it doesn't seem that long ago it was me but its 10 years now. I don't miss it, it just seems odd, my priorities then were going out, getting pissed and that was it really.
Enjoy the gig anyway, outfit plan sounds good.
deb your tea sounds so nice and healthy, we had fish and chips dp would never entertain the idea of having a salad for his tea, he'd need a big plateful of stodge as well. Of course that means I can't have salad for tea either, shame
reastie about the sink, how bloody annoying for you, hope you get it sorted out quickly.
dd is asleep, what the frig, she has slept loads today, really hope she doesn't plan on not sleeping later. She needs a bath soon then a bottle! My routine is going out the window argh!!
Hope ledkr is ok and preferably sleeping.

mizk i've not heard of devin, i'm not than keen on rap, more of an indie/rock girl. Hope u enjoy the gig though. I've not been to one in ages

reastie Blooming heck. And I thought our kitchen fitters were cowboys! I'd be livid. Sounds like you need some of my
MizK Devlin will ne awesome. I'm really a 90's indie girl like you Jane (and obviously Take That) but I've got a massive soft spot for all the British rap music that's around at the mo. I adore Tinie Tempah!
The gig I went to the other night was actually a friend, my DP used to be in a band with him. Just lining up my mum to babysit next week so both DP and I can go to see him again. have fun!
Where's ledkr. I daren't do the shred again until she pops up in case it's that thats keeping her quiet!
