[hands award to Frekkles]

Schulte · 18/02/2009 14:06

Yes am still here - I had joined as an AM in the B2B division, fresh from Germany... I sat near the window, second row of desks on the right as you came in. Blonde long hair, not sure how else to describe myself really!

bronze · 18/02/2009 14:07

right now thats finished can I have some help on a bag?

I'm not sure what I want really... something sensible that I can use as hand luggage, that I can carry around with me for days out but also holds enough. Baby stuff, spares for 2 yr old and drinks etc for all.

I was looking at these here and here

opinions/ more ideas please

frostyfrekkles · 18/02/2009 14:07

thank you conker love but don't worry, it's nothing really. Just ongoing difficulties, emotions, rows and worries. basically it's whether my head is able to keep up with and accept the changes that have happened in my life recently. I'll be ok, just need to keep on keeping on and keep reminding myself of the positives.

like winning the tramp of the thread award. with tears in my eyes!

conkertree · 18/02/2009 14:08

oh yes and a question - a lot of you mention that these things were pre-marriage.

do you think it's inevitable that this sort of antic calms down once you are married/in long term relationship or is there still a time and a place for daring sex? just wonder cause when i think of the first few months/years of being with dh - the bed would not necessarily be the norm, whearas now it is - probably cause ds is around.

just wonder if we will get back to our love of nature in the future, or if you inevitably with more responsibility etc have less ability to throw caution to the wind?

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 18/02/2009 14:10

Bronze - the second one looks best (extra pockets n stuff)

BoffinMum · 18/02/2009 14:11

We're still daring, just less often.

Schulte · 18/02/2009 14:12

Conker - depends on whether you're looking for daring sex with DH or someone else - I'd say the latter is much more likely

PuzzleRocks · 18/02/2009 14:12

Bronze. I like. Not too fussy and very reasonable. I may have some vertbaudet codes somewhere if you do pick one of those.

Schulte · 18/02/2009 14:13

Ladies, I tell you, Richmond is where it all happens!

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 18/02/2009 14:13

Conker - i still get up to crazy antics with dh just less opportunity (we go out less), and with dd around we have to choose where and when (planned with more prescision than just off the cuff. making sure she truly is asleep, gone out on a playdate/ party)

OP posts:
Schulte · 18/02/2009 14:16

Bronze - yeah I like too. But if you have £150 to spare, buy an OiOi one - have seen one in p&b magazine that I love

LuLuBai · 18/02/2009 14:17

Well there were certainly quite a lot of 'goings on' at the office I worked at in Richmond. PA to the boss was a very young Rebecca Loos. She had the Sexy Secretary look down to a fine tee. Sachaying down the coridoors in little pin striped skirts, several inches on the innapropriately short side, teetering heels and always one too many buttons undone. She was fun.

Schulte · 18/02/2009 14:17

Do you know, since DD has moved to a grown-up bed, I haven't dared go anywhere near DH. She's got a habit of sneaking into our bedroom unnoticed, she can walk so silently!

PuzzleRocks · 18/02/2009 14:19

Conker - We have been married for 2.5 years and during that time I have either been pregnant or had a baby permanetly clamped to my boob so things have slowed down somewhat. It's another reason why we are keen to have our children in close succession as we are both keen to rekindle the craziness. It hasn't gone away, there are just fewer opportunities at the moment.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 18/02/2009 14:19

Lucky for us dd is like a mini elephant stampedeing round the place

LuLuBai · 18/02/2009 14:20

Oh no Schulte - maybe you need to put bells on her. Or make her sleep in tap dancing shoes....

frostyfrekkles · 18/02/2009 14:20

i approve of the colour of both of them, and the second bag certainly seems to be a significance advance for only seven p ounds!

i must say i'm totally in the dark about the neccessity of changing bags... my mum told me proudly that she'd got me a silver cross one last night. Why when you have a baby do you need bags with lots of pouches? Is it some kinda poo and wee thing? is this one of the mysteries of motherhood that i am about to become initiated into? i pray that boring sex isn't another one of them? although I think that one isn't unique to couples who are married and have children, in my experience it's happened at around he five year mark with my last two relationships. maybe we just get bored shagging the same people?

bronze · 18/02/2009 14:20

Can't really justify that. I have a very good changing bag thats lasted me the other 3 kids and still looks in good nick so I'll mainly use that. Sadly its not the prettiest buts very functional.

Shulte- we have a stairgate on dds door

BabyBolat · 18/02/2009 14:22

Oooh schultes how exciting - I mainly knew the girls on the left as you walk in as we were that side of the office so to speak!! When did you join - are you on the 'team' pic on the website - am racking my brains to find you and can't believe I have just publicly outed your boss!!!

Bronze I like them both!!

DH is a more traditional type of guy so we have never been too controversial!!

PuzzleRocks · 18/02/2009 14:22

Ok, i'm getting worried again. DH worked in Richmond in his early twenties.

bronze · 18/02/2009 14:22

Frosty I find it very useful cos I can shout at dh which pocket somethings in. I also check the bag when I get home and can refill each section it helps me remember what I need.

We don't have boring sex, maybe a bit less often due to tiredness etc but we still have fun.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 18/02/2009 14:23

Nope i have been married to dh for just over 5 years and hes still fantastic in the sack

i just have a big slouchy handbag or a record bag seems to do the trick as a changing/ child bag.

OP posts:
LuLuBai · 18/02/2009 14:24

Frosty - boring sex isn't inevitable but spontaneity is hampered somewhat. And insomniac babies do ensure there is a lot less time available for sex.

On the bag front - they both looked identical to me. I think this laptop is playing tricks with my mind.

bronze · 18/02/2009 14:26

they do look the same one is bigger you're not going mad (der)
