36

Morning! Brand new thread for the new week!

wheels those decorations are very cute! Are you doing embroidery there on the teal fabric? looks very tricky!

biddy I hope the car service goes well! Good luck with your exam today :)

Wooly I'm so sorry for your loss .

Acey biting a potato instead of a pear is brilliant! how long after biting it did you realise? baby brain has wrecked me for good I think, I'm constantly losing the keys and my wallet. I hope your doctors appointment goes well on Thursday.
fluffy we watched home alone yesterday too, DD kept leaping off everything thanks to the film! DS1 used to set up traps on the stairs when he was 3!

firefly It sounds like the lights turn on was a success in the end, I love roasted chestnuts!

Found out a few days ago that my mum most likely has thyroid cancer, they won't know for sure until they operate and thankfully it's highly treatable but I just feel bad, she's always got some sort of health issue going on, this will be op number 10! her doctors want her to complain, it's been a year she's been chasing it up, her first consultant was really negligent and I really think she should too.

29 weeks pregnant but feeling about 50 weeks, I need to pee all the time and I was up a lot with ligament pain booo!

for your mum Seafood.

Sorry about your mum Seafood

Seafood - the worst part is it took me about 5 minutes and a couple of bites before I even realised 😂 I’m the same as you, forever losing my keys and purse, and I keep leaving my keys in the front door! I’m sorry to hear about your mum
I’m with you on the needing to pee all the time, 23 weeks and I’m sure Addie is using my bladder as a trampoline!

My grandad has got me flamingo wrapping paper

Yay my winter coat has arrived and it’s even more fabulous than I remember

My grandad has a death wish 😂
He offered me a coffee flavoured chocolate so obviously I was like hell yeah, if it’s got coffee in it then I’m game!
Took one out the box, he is grinning like a Cheshire Cat.. i thought hmmm he must really like sharing chocolate...
Ah, but alas it wasn’t chocolate.. it was god damn marzipan, Sent from the devil himself as a form as torture 🤢 Jesus wept, that stuff is revolting 🤢

He’s still laughing now.. you will pay old man 😂

Sorry for spamming the thread 😂

wooly I'm so sorry for your loss

Acey you might see about a nebulizer to help the asthma?

crazy I just love all the crafts! LOL I get paid tomorrow and I'm starting all my shopping!

seafood it's on a Christmas green tea towel and it's a bitch excuse my language. Because my stitch pattern was for use on white I've had to change the colors and pull out a lot of stitches to find the colors I want to work with it.

Praying for your mom too!! 29 weeks. Closing into the home stretch!

my friends a state over got like 15 inches of snow and all I got was rain. I'm a bit grumpy. I really want some rain haha

We deflead Lilah and she's cranky at us now. I'm just hanging out and watching Christmas movies today and working on my projects.

Wheelie - they seem to be very hesitant to give out nebulisers here in Ireland. My dad tried for 3 years to get one before he passed away, and they would never give him one, despite seeing so much improvement when he was on them in hospital etc.

Maverick goes absolutely insane when I have to de flea him, he trashes the house running wild!

Roast dinner will be ready in about an hour, so hungry! Addie is currently kicking away like crazy, my wee angel 😍❤️

I’m so sorry Wooly

36 Weeks today, only 3 weeks until we meet his little one!!. I have a meeting on Wednesday to book in the date of the c-section and then it’s just a waiting game.

Seafood, sorry to hear about your mum.

I really don't miss the 'glamour' of pregnancy, it has to be said! So much stuff that nobody ever warns you about!

Our car has its MOT on Friday. Fingers crossed it's not expensive!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone

Acey Love your coat! I missed the bus the other day after I remembered I'd left the keys in the door, worst part is I live at the bottom of a hill and I'd already climbed it, came very close to crying! It's like they can sense when your bladder is slightly full and demand you go wee ! Enjoy your roast :)

wheels it looks very complicated to me! Defleaing isn't pleasant, glad you got it over and done with! which films did you watch today?

frangelino wow 3 weeks! how exciting! I'm going to see if I can push for an induction, as it stands I may be having one again but if not I want to know if I can try to get one.

Seafood I know it’s gone so quick, doesn’t feel right that soon we’ll have another little one!. How long have you got left?.

Sorry everyone for not catching up, you must think I’m so rude!. But by the time I’ve caught up there’s so many more replies. I’ll take some time out tommorow and reply to everyone.

Woolly 

Woolly- so sorry for your loss. Please feel free to pm me if you need a virtual hand hold or a place to rant.
There are some really amazing women on this thread - prepping for Christmas seems to develop strength of character!
andand(for the teetotal, gluten-free -waves at 70)

That was so nice! I’m so full I may pop 😂 my only complaint is that there’s no left overs haha. My paddy dropped in then four of my grandads friends dropped in too, so good job I made enough to go around haha.

Frangelico - 3 weeks, that’s so exciting! Not long left at all for you now. You don’t need to apologise for not replying to everyone, like you say this thread moves so fast :)

Seafood - oh god, I would cry if that happened to me, I wouldn’t want to climb all the way back up again! Thank you lovely, I love the coat too Addie definitely knows when my bladder is full, she’s a wee bugger for waiting until I’ve come downstairs then deciding I need to pee

I keep going through random panic that I’m going to be a terrible mum or something when Addie is here, oh the joys of pregnancy

Picked DS2 up, had Thai red chicken curry for supper, DS2 was in bed by 6.10, DD was in bed by 6.35 as she has her reading booster tomorrow. 😋🍛😴📚

I've booked the ice rink at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park for DD. ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

Thank you everyone.

Seafood sorry to hear about your mum. Hopefully the treatment will start soon and be effective.

Wooly. Thinking of you and your family.

Best wishes for your mum, seafood

That sounds fun, PSB. She'll love it!

Acey - send the marzipan to me. I love it!

My car is booked in at the garage on Thursday. I had a slight disagreement with the gate post at DS's nursery. The gate post won

Argh, my back keeps locking up! This happened at my 20 week scan, and you could see Addie digging her feet backwards the wee bugger!

Can’t wait for a long soak soon, although I need to pick my bath bomb first

Firefly - you willingly eat marzipan?! It’s some sort of devil food or torture method 😂 you’re welcome to the stuff 😂

Very brave of you taking on the nursery gate post 😂 I hope it doesn’t cost too much to repair!

Think I’ll go for this llama bath bomb.. although it looks more like a dog to me 😂
What a thrilling life I live 😂

Helps if I attach the picture 🤦🏻‍♀️

My sister hates it as well, Acey.

More for me

Doing wash, have done DS2's snack for basketball club: a bread roll and carrot sticks. 😋
