Moobee · 06/07/2011 08:58

Wow, I think mumsnet malfunctioned there! Grin

Congratulations on the scans ghosteditor, bellakins and wormshuffler (sorry if I've missed anyone, this thread moves fast!

I was able to think of foods for dinner on Monday night and actually cook - I think that's progress! I was back to toast last night though. My husband confessed he didn't like having a larger 'proper' dinner, he has really enjoyed toast for dinner for the last two months. Grin

Moobee · 06/07/2011 09:00

Oh yes, sho I may have to go shopping too, non of my skirts fit. My trousers and skirts slip down and my tops keep riding up. It's an awkward stage. I may have to interview for my job so I need smart clothes.

ghosteditor · 06/07/2011 09:14

shonno that's brilliant your post appears over forty times! Bad MN!

Mum2be79 · 06/07/2011 20:39

Lol! Shonno

Mum2be79 · 06/07/2011 20:46

Work stresses are easing. Progress has 'apparently' been made and rehearsals kicked off again today with my Y1 children having their sixth rehearsal - the first in two weeks. Despite being told 'Beached' is still off, we received a costume list today which confused everyone. I don't think anyone knows what's going on!

Opera North have been told to continue the production (I think in the hope that it can be salvaged). I'm more than happy to support it if Lee Hall apologises for going to the media over a storm in a teacup. He clearly had his own agenda (as witnessed on his FB page!) and can't seem to understand what we said! Also, he needs to change some words - 'gay' and 'men' and 'women' are perfectly acceptable thank you! Also my friend doesn't like her class shouting obscenities and my 6 year ods are exposed to 'stuff you sunshine'. Not sure about that one. Could be me being OTT.

Peanut being a good peanut today!

shonnomanom · 06/07/2011 21:05

Oh fuck ! What the hell happened there!?!?!?!? I think I counted 48 postings, thats like a page all to myself. Sorry ladies Blush
I posted on my phone, and it said it was unable to connect when I tried to post it. I only tried to repost once, honest!! Blush

blueeyedmonster · 06/07/2011 21:32

I've been shopping, dp gave me some dosh to get clothes with bless him. Still need some more but it's a start.
I'm in that awkward stage too but i've found bottoms that fit..........my 'fat' jeans from before I lost weight. They are the same size as what i'm in but on the large size for it. Think they'll tide methough till my mat bottoms don't need pulling up all the time.

ghosteditor · 06/07/2011 21:48

Shonno no idea must have been a glitch! No doubt it made this page show up on the active list for a while though Grin

Am feeling huge atm - not many clothes fit but I don't look obviously pg, just chunky. Thankfully the enormous weight gain has tapered off for now, though.

shonnomanom · 06/07/2011 21:52

mum2be I have just been reading up on all the controversy with OperaNorth. Poor you, no wonder your so stressed!

I have always been of the mind that if your gong to use 'adult' words in front of children then you need to be prepared for the aftermath. Ie, the many questions about what it means, is it a swear word etc. and to ensure that the child knows how to use said word appropriately and the consquencies of misproper use. From experience I know alot of parents dont want their child exposed to such words at such an early age.

Can I just ask? When said words are being performed, are the children on the satge at this time?

I hope things start to calm down now and that the show goes on without a hitch

BigHotMama · 06/07/2011 22:27

Lol Shonno feel even more nausea coming on after reading all your posts repeating and repeating - feel sea sick ha Grin

God knows how I am fitting into my clothes? Belly looks 5 months already and have had a few really pregnant heavy days where belly feeling harder.

Also paranoid that people are staring at my belly at work even some of the kids I teach - bet they think I've been eating all the pies.

11 wks tomorrow - roll on 18th Smile

Livened · 06/07/2011 22:38

Hi everyone, just to introduce myself now I've found the wonder that is Mumsnet!

We're due on the 20th Janaury 2012 and have our 12 week scan on Friday so fingers crossed - it's our first so we're both very nervous/excited!

Hope everyone is feeling ok - I'm just mega tired all the time and feel quite sicky unless I'm stuffing something yummy in my chops!

fifitrixabelle78 · 07/07/2011 07:10

Hi livened - welcome to the party. Feel free to locate the list a few pages back and add your details.

LOL sho - that's the longest repetitive post I've ever seen!

I've just succumbed and bought a pair of mat jeans- much more comfy but do need pulling up a bit at the moment. Now trying to source some work trousers as they're getting a tad uncomfortable. Friend's told me to try Gap so will see what they have.
