Welcome to 14.....

We got spooky 13 out the way. Now business as usual.

Don't worry about making sense, we rarely do!!

A poem from Portia

Mother Nature don't build straight lines
We're broken moulds in a grand design
We look a mess but we're doing fine
We're card carrying lifelong members
Of the Union of different kinds

Crack on and enjoy!!

LOL carb - poor Jess!.

I can totally understand it made you feel like that being - try not to take that comment to heart....when my own DM/MIL are being "challenging"....I try and remember how lucky my DD is to have all of us who care about her. It helps - you know - sometimes - a bit.....Grin.

Good luck with the prodding AGL - it will be over in a flash and you might get a sticker to show us all, so be brave!.

Good luck with the school run vanilla. Guarantee I wouldn't know WAG if I fell over her....unless it was Colleen Rooney?! - I know that one!. Oh and Victoria Beckham....though she would have fallen down a drain/crack in the pavement by the time I noticed her.

DP, without saying anything got up with the baby, so I could have an hours sleep. I LOVE DP.

No one has mentioned any willy bread?!.....better I thought I could rely on you?!

I've made my first run-mum friend. She looks like Barbie! I'm not sure I want to walk to school with her on a daily basis. The pressure!

carb. I did sort of get stuck with a mum on the nursery run. On the walk back, there was always an awkward "Do I invite her in for coffee?" moment. I did it a few times, but then it was almost expected. Cue some very weird excuses and 'appointments'.

Barbie Mum was wearing heels, immaculate make-up, straightened hair and an outfit fit for clubbing in. How?!!

Morning, I am still in bed erm working but this article is quite good

I may adopt Gran's sentence for up their own arses posters.
Atm I'm gloating because dd drives herself to school. I shall be eternally grateful to my Mum for forking out for dds car and driving lessons. Dd is spoilt but I try to make sure her feet are firmly planted on the ground. If she does a madam act I ignore. No audience to play too soon puts her in her place.

"How" indeed, Jess! Effortless glam is one thing but Barbie mum must have been up since 4.30 to achieve her look...

Bettercallsaul1 · 08/09/2016 10:04

I thought you normally had both, Portia?

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 10:12

True Better and I still look stunning
