Runners United - Conwy Cockwatch, a live birth and Alex "Rhet" Ferguson in one thread. What more could we ask for?

have not seen Game of Thrones...what's it like? nice enough here today - SIL coming by to take DD to the swings, so will try and get a good bit of my run in while DD is out of the house...must hydrate and hoover first

Newborn smell enjoy peach more pics required. Dud big sis get anything special?

fanny you are such good value you are forbidden to change.

Very foggy here lie in for all of us maybe swimming later after we have breakfast

Good luck to all those rubbing a rcae today and happy cock-watching all!! .

debi and bumply fingers crossed your injuries improve, so frustrating for you.

monkey I loved GoT, I thought it was better than the books and can't wait for series 2.

Alas no rubbing for me today, off to take the kids and dog for a walk then dim sum for lunch (mmm!).

Yeah fanny, isn't that just for boxers?

euueeww had for for forgotten about how sticky the Stuart meconium is. I brilliantly bought 1 bag of cotton wool. Excellent shopping there peach

Go fannybaws!!!! I think you'll ace it lady!!

noshi, loving your new name, tee hee. Yes newborns are just so scrummy eh? After sleeping all day she of course didn't fancy sleeping much at night! Unlike DD1 she doesn't want to feed all the time (yet) though she fed more than during day. I've seen better letter latches, so will work on that! Think we had a few hours sleep (can't remember when!) she is sleeping on my shoulder just now. She is such a little munchkin, I just love her so much! DP taking DD to party this afternon (piñata, piñata!!!) so will grab some zzzzs then at very least if little Kate happy to sleep on my sister.

Oooooh yes that newborn smell ..... .

On the subject of rubbing, I would say I'm generally a social rubber, I do it for fun and my own health, but am hoping you more experienced rubbers will help me pick up the pace. Nothing like the wind in your hair on a great fast rub to make you feel alive.

Looking forward to the reports and especially cockcount fanny I don't think there's anything against a quick warm up rub just before the event is there? Your DH was robbed!

drN hope your pasta salad didn't get you into trouble at the rugby. DH once genuinely took an M and S prawn sandwich to Old Trafford, wonder what Sir Alex would have made of that?

Good luck fanny and rub like the wind today!

How was the night with Kate peachy? I love newborns. Can you post her smell on here for us to sniff please?

I wouldn't be at all surprised in MNHQ deleted this thread! As my 12 yo would say - it's shocking!

It's very foggy here today so if you're outside, wear reflective clothing and all that.

Off to stand on a rugby pitch cheering DS1 on this morning.

noshi
How you doing peach? Hope you get some sleep.

Hello rubbers!

Will do proper post tomorrow on pooter. Baby Kate been asleep most of day, wish I had been!!!

Orange, so sorry bout DS2's issues, you are a very strong woman who deals with a lot in life. Please come on here and rant away, sometimes it's the best tonic.

fanny, Don't go changing!!!!

Good luck racers tomorrow!

Oooh sticky, we are fb friends, how cool!

Will see if I can master putting pics on profile tomorrow so yous non fb folk can have a squiz.

Will also provide full race birth report!

Night y'all!

Good luck ravers!

orange - you have my heartfelt sympathies for your predicament and do keep moaning to us. It keeps us in check and if it helps you, then do it here where we want to listen. Then you can get on with RL and go rubbing.

On the topic of rubbing, I like it any which way. Fast ones are best though (so cathartic!) as are the long ones but the ones where you start slow and then progressively speed it up are my favourite (progressive rubs)! A quick rub works well when time poor though. 20 mins is enough to de-stress even.

Night all.

Love,

Noshi

Evening cest it's a brave man even pops his head over the parapet round here - welcome back. I will bore you with Monkey's Favourite Hertfordshire Hills sometime soon, it's like Wainwright but with um hills! Was in Harpenden just today as ds1's team were playing there, if you see a harassed looking woman failing to control mooching around with three boys and an equally harassed looking DH that'll be me ......

Not sure when the next GofT series will start, but I can't wait. I think it's a pretty harsh setting for everyone tbh, not afraid to kill off the big stars, are they?! But Go Danaerys (sp?) and her baby dragons, she's definitely doing it for the girls!

Lol fanny, it's my brother who is a know it all (he does have a phd don't ya know), my dh is very inteligent but also quite thick sometimes!

Someone mentioned shin supports, who was that? Where do I find them?

I also liked game o thrones monkey. Do you know when the next one starts?

Debi I have done a few tests was even given a coat, that was jammy

cest how did the move go?

monkey game of thrones seems to have a sadistic streak concerning young girls

Bloody hell, not even trying to jump on to the conversation threads whirling around here! Just a quickie (stop it!)... Congrats peaches fine work, and all very best to you and lil Kate. monkey you never said hertfordshire was so hilly damn you! fanny don't you stop your normal chat - love it. Right back to unpacking.

My db is also an expert in everything and nobody else is allowed an opinion.

Snort at rubbing!!

Before we all get too excited with all the rubbing, has anyone ever heard of a book called 'lose your mummy tummy' if so is it any good or a load of crap like all the other things that promise flat tums.
Dh is on the sofa snoring very loudly, very romantic

Oh Debi, what a coincidence, my DB is also an expert in everything...

Hope your shins improve soon.

Good luck to all the runners tomorrow.

I shreded this morning and my shins were a bit sore even doing that. While I was doing it ds1 and 2 were prancing about joining in. Ds1 almost launching his beans and soup at the laptop several times. Dh, db and sil sat on the sofa watching and laughing!

My db is an expert in everything and dished out a whole load of advice about running earlier. He's done some running but has knee problems and I think some of his advice was sensible but I'm not going to admit that to him!

I don't go on much more of mn either. Mostly just here and my post natal thread who 3 years on still have about 10 of us who communicate. Every time I get sucked into another interesting thread it ends up being fake and disappears! I do look at the product testing threads but never get selected, unlike my best friend who has done virtually every test ever.

I don't believe that fanny
