Sorry you're feeling down potato.

Lovely scan soda!

Having similar cravings starky went for five guys burgers last week it was the best thing I've ever eaten. Tonight is healthy fish and vegetables, dreading it.

BunchOfBobs · 18/04/2016 18:21

Yay to the IG love. Starky that sounds like the best tea ever! Get it ordered!

Shelb they didn't plot my measurements on any chart so I've no clue really.

I'm in a hideous mood today it would seem. Apparently it's tell off DH day according to him. I said clearly it's piss off Bunch day! He's gone away for work until tomorrow so he can't wind me up any more at least. I swear he does things on purpose to wind me up!

Baked sweet potato, garlic mushrooms and sour cream for my tea. Mmm it's my go to favourite when DH is away as he hates mushrooms- I love them.

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 18:29

Now I want a stodgy take away dinner too!!

Laurenrl · 18/04/2016 18:38

Just followed you bunch, any others? I'm ledleycat but also only just joined so nothing much going on!

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 18:47

My IG is my full name so wont post on here but am following bunch and am obvious from nev part of name!

BunchOfBobs · 18/04/2016 18:51

Lauren give me a clue for your IG name so I can follow you back. Got you Nev Grin* .* Thinking I should post a pic of me now on there so you can see my face.

BunchOfBobs · 18/04/2016 18:52

Took too long writing that, got you Lauren Grin

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 18:53

Haha I just didnt see any point setting up a new IG I dont mind using my existing one... Its set to private anyway to avoid kids from school following me!

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 18:54

The dog appreciates the love bunch he is the most pathetic looking pooch especially in that picture!

BunchOfBobs · 18/04/2016 18:59

I couldn't not like it Nev. My dog also hates being dressed up at Christmas but it happens every year as he is always our Christmas card Smile Poor thing, at least this Christmas he won't be going through it alone , eek now there's an exciting thought!!

Way way future talking here but does anyone think they'll get anything for little ones first Christmas? Pip will only be 4 months old, clearly won't be aware of Christmas. He will totally be dressed up though!!

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 19:04

I get generally as excited as an elf for christmas and am already planning this one... Zane was too big fat for his pudding outfit last year so this time he will be matching the baby... Im thinking puddings or elves.

He will also be featuring in our departments contribution to the christmas celebration assemblies at school. Each department contributes an "act" to the students... Past delights include recreating the Wrecking Ball video and this year we did a version of Watch Me Whip... The boys in our team want to redo the opening of the Lion King with the baby as baby Simba BlushHmm

Laurenrl · 18/04/2016 19:19

I don't think we will get the baby anything for Christmas, or if we do something practical. My parents and OHs parents plus grandparents etc will go mad and she will have more things than we know what to do with! Plus we'll have spent a small fortune on her by then anyway! (and have already!)

But she will deffo be being dressed up with the cat for Christmas cards. Poor thing will hate me when she's a teen looking back on the years of Christmas cards Grin

Laurenrl · 18/04/2016 19:21

Oh my baby nev as baby simba! Haha! Now that's something that needs videoing for the 18th party :)

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 19:25

I havent agreed to this lauren! I have suggested we wait and see what the 'in' thing is during autumn term and then we decide what to go for... I'm not sure whether 11-14 year olds will even recognise its meant to be Lion King anyway as its now a fairly old film!

BunchOfBobs · 18/04/2016 19:33

Haha glad there's at least 3 of us planning to embarrass our kids this Christmas! I also don't think we'll get anything for them except maybe a Grimms wooden toy maybe.
Nev that sounds amazing!! I have asked DH to do a Rafiki styled reveal of Pip whilst I sing the circle of life ha!

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 19:55

Who just followed me on IG with the adorable black pooch?! If you need a dog sitter... M'here!!!

Danni89 · 18/04/2016 20:27

I'll defo be dressing my bub up for Halloween and Xmas.. Lol I can't wait!

Planeteer · 18/04/2016 20:39

Another one plotting the tiny fancy dress outfits already. Saw a Pinterest pic of a baby dressed as a bee and was for some reason the most adorable thing ever. Which obviously then made me cry. Sigh.

Stark I have eaten so. Much. McDonalds since getting upduffed. This child is going to be part McChicken Sandwich! I could still happily eat one at every meal, but am trying to be vaguely sensible now in 2nd trimester. Sometimes am even succeeding! Go for it, order yourself a chickeny burgery feast of dreams!!

Bunch I'll add you on IG now. My name has my first name in it, so won't post on here, but you'll spot me from the rubbish attempts at calligraphy...

Laurenrl · 18/04/2016 20:40

Anyone following me ignore the fact I'm adding loads of photos (will be back to boring in 10 mins) moving my favourite pics over that's all!

IrregularCommentary · 18/04/2016 21:07

nev if that's the ig account that's 90% dog photos - big sad eyes and white feet - that would be me!

Nevlet · 18/04/2016 21:11

Irregular i am smitten with the dog. Adorable.

IrregularCommentary · 18/04/2016 21:14

Haha, thank you Smile He is bloody cute. Knows it though! I volunteered at a dog rescue centre for a while and fell for him there. Bit of a rough start to life, but dh and I have had him almost 3yrs now and wouldn't be without him for the world.

BunchOfBobs · 18/04/2016 21:31

Eek I'm loving how we're now all on IG. Lauren I too have been spamming my IG account as I disliked the empty feed.

Irregular he is gorgeous! Such an expressive face!

IrregularCommentary · 18/04/2016 21:41

Thanks Bunch Smile

Can you tell I'm a super proud dog Mum!

BunchOfBobs · 18/04/2016 21:57

Irregular I have a separate IG account for my dog. I was obsessed and got to the point where we had over 4000 followers Shockit took over my life a bit to much though so I don't post on it anymore. But yeah I get the proud dog mum thing. I love my boy so much and take far too many photos of him.

Sorry for the bump spam on IG, I'm back to posting about once a day from tomorrow. My face is officially out there now too Grin

Pip is kicking up a storm today!

How are you feeling now potato? I saw you joined us on IG Grin
