Marking Xmas Grin

I was making a quilted play mat to go under the baby gym my dad is making for me #spolied

I'm also making one for a friend who's baby is due middle of September

Very excited to have a maternity leave buddy - hopefully we will be able to see each other a lot more as more restrictions are lifted

NoWordForFluffy · 20/07/2020 23:48

We need photos, Hairspray!

Morning. Thanks for the new thread fluffy

I dreamt that you were having a massive party at your house crazy although I don't think it was very realistic. Your garden was massive and your dining room had a table long enough to sit around 50 people. You served us cat food for dinner and had a massive Easter egg collection, your sitting room was just filled with them!

pussycatinboots · 21/07/2020 06:19

most GrinGrin not sure about the cat food Hmm did you get to sample one of the Easter eggs for pud?

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 21/07/2020 06:46

No boots they were just for show Sad

Morning. Going to a friends today, it's going to be hot again and she had a really big paddling pool. Unfortunately she lived close by to the lovely beach we went to on Friday so traffic might be a nightmare even though the beach is running at a limited capacity (5000 cars pre booked only) it's sold out every day and is a nightmare.

My first day of not working and the cat wakes me up meowing at 5:45 Hmm

pussycatinboots · 21/07/2020 07:23

most that's disappointing.

Wreck He just wants to spend time with you before you go out for the day and he wants his breakfast 😻
Parking at the beach sounds, erm, fun. What happens if you're not local and don't know about the arrangements? Do they just turn people away? I don't envy those enforcing that one little bit.

NoWordForFluffy · 21/07/2020 07:29

Morning!

Wreck, that's annoying re the cat!

There's massive dot matrix signs up round here telling people not to go to the beach! They still are, mind you!

Most, did you eat cheese before bed?!

WreckTangled · 21/07/2020 07:34

Puss yes they turn you away. There's signs for miles around telling people it's pre pay only and sold out plus on their Facebook and webpage. It's obviously a new thing though since they reopened.

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 21/07/2020 07:53

No I had sausage and mash followed by blackberry and apple crumble with custard fluffy!

I have always had very vivid dreams though.

NoWordForFluffy · 21/07/2020 08:24

I have vivid dreams too. Worse during pregnancy when they were utterly insane! 😂

CrazyBaubles · 21/07/2020 08:43

Oh yes, pics please Hairspray

😂😂 most
My dining room can fit 6 at a squeeze and dog food maybe but definitely not cat food!
No Easter egg collection either, but that isn't the worst idea I've heard 🧐 Would definitely be for eating though!

Wreck what a waste of a possible lie in!

I have hormonal crazy dreams, one of the few warnings I get that a period is on the way.
Recent ones include a lovely one about coming into lots of money (unclear how) and travelling the world and an awful one where I was on an aeroplane which was crashing and everyone was getting ready to jump out and I couldn't move because my seatbelt wouldn't open.

I've been logged in to work for almost 2 hours and achieved loads already. I'm going to slow down now, have some breakfast at 9 and do some yoga stretches for 10 mins 😊

HairsprayBabe · 21/07/2020 08:46

This is the only photo I took yesterday 😂 I'm going back to mums on Weds to finish the project because DH isn't working today so we get the day off together

My due date is two days away - I don't feel like I am imminently about to go into labour so I think I will still be pregnant for at least the next week!

Countdown to Christmas 2020 (thread 8): those bendy yellow bastards!
Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 21/07/2020 09:18

I felt exactly like that until my waters suddenly broke the night before my due date Hair!

HairsprayBabe · 21/07/2020 10:33

Hmmmm maybe not then Grin

People keep saying ooh you must be so fed up of being pregnant now - I'm just not bothered either way - I'm not uncomfortable or desperate to get the baby out and I'm not loving the glow and really enjoying being pregnant either I just feel normal 🤷 I'm probably a weirdo 🙈

MarshmallowManiac · 21/07/2020 10:37

Morning everyone.

OMG Most had the exact dinner and afters that you had creepy. Hmm I have really weird dreams, the other night I dreamt I was in a library with Val Doonican! Confused Have completely mad dreams during pregnancy, really happy about the Easter eggs though Grin

Oh no Wreck that's not good. Sad

Thanks for the thread Fluffy

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 21/07/2020 10:42

I was exactly the same Hair! Was perfectly happy to go overdue as didn't find pregnancy hard. DS had other ideas though and was very punctual Grin

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 21/07/2020 10:46

That's funny that we had the same dinner marshmallow!

MarshmallowManiac · 21/07/2020 10:57

Really funny Most Hmm

NoWordForFluffy · 21/07/2020 11:38

My waters went bang on 38 weeks from conception. Very prompt child here!

TheWoollybacksWife · 21/07/2020 11:46

All 3 of mine were late. Lazy buggers. I should have realised it would set the tone - they are going to be living with me forever aren't they? 🤣 Actually I'm maligning them as DD1 and 2 are thinking about getting a place together but Covid put the kybosh on that.

MarshmallowManiac · 21/07/2020 11:53

Once when my DS was about 6 he told me he was staying at home until he was 38, so you and me both Woolly Grin

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 21/07/2020 11:53

Hi folks enjoying a day off today.

I had a dream the other night that I was being chased by the Chinese Mafia because my husband had stolen their spaceship!!!

I rarely dream but when I do they are really strange/weird.
