DD came bang on 40 weeks after conception (40+3 according to scan) and DS was at 37 weeks (38 by scan) due to being in a stupid position and being safer out than in!

That's a very good point about coming straight off the pill I hadn't even thought about it

MarshmallowManiac · 31/07/2020 18:42

Trying to get the last bit done for holiday while limping like a good 'un, Grin Can't wait to get on the road to Cornwall in the morning Smile
Hoping to take in St Ives, Penzance, Falmouth and surrounding areas, can you lovely ladies please recommend some not to be missed places/beaches/walks/scenery there that we should try to take in while we are there Smile TIA

NoWordForFluffy · 31/07/2020 19:08

I've not been to Cornwall since I was a child. Therefore I am useless!

MarshmallowManiac · 31/07/2020 19:49

No problem Fluffy Grin

FireflyGirl · 31/07/2020 20:55

There's Carnglaze Caverns near Liskeard, former slate mine with underground lake set in beautiful surroundings, on private land.

Disclaimer, I may be slightly biased - that's where DH and I got married Grin

(Slinks in...)

Hi.

I bought some Xmas presents today ☺

FireflyGirl · 31/07/2020 21:11

Just trying to catch up.

Flowers most

Looks glorious, Crazy, hope your ankle doesn't hold you back too much.

Hope you had a lovely day, MrsM.

It got up to 32 degrees here today - it was 28 in our bedroom at 5pm. Down to 26.5 now Confused

We're thankfully now having a massive thunderstorm, lots of thunder and lightning and rain. We're quite rural, and thunderstorms mean power cuts, which is interesting. DH and I are sat on our bed with the windows and curtains wide open watching it.

FireflyGirl · 31/07/2020 21:12

Someone nearby is singing along, loudly and very badly, to Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares...

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 31/07/2020 21:13

I have to confess I have never been to Cornwall but would love to go.

Progress on the cross stitch :)

Fabulous sunset tonight, extremely red and fiery Smile
Thanks Firefly that looks wonderful.

MarshmallowManiac · 31/07/2020 21:14

Most I love your cross stitch, making lots of progress Smile

FireflyGirl · 31/07/2020 21:30

They're now singing the Corrs. Hopefully the next power cut will surge their karaoke machine...

FireflyGirl · 31/07/2020 21:50

We're now on Zombie by the Cranberries. I applaud their taste in music 🤷

Mrsmadevans · 31/07/2020 22:17

Fab day thank you @FireflyGirl, the neighbour has great taste in music fair dos, bit hot with you then Grin
Most cross stitch is excellent well done ! Smile
Maniac my BFF always goes to Bude , they have a caravan there she loves it , never been myself but if her pics are anything to go by it's gorgeous and well worth a visit.

MarshmallowManiac · 31/07/2020 22:38

Glad you had a lovely day Mrs, thank you Bude looks wonderful, would love to visit. Smile

NoWordForFluffy · 31/07/2020 23:11

Firefly, good song choices. Shame about the vocals, however! 😂

Most, loving the cross stitch!

Mrs, it looks lovely where you were.

Here's my bloody fiddly cross stitch progress.

Wicked cross stitch Fluffy

Morning.
Sorry, no help with Cornwall - not been there. Have a safe journey.
Firefly you got married there? It puts the crappy register office we got married in to shame.
most and fluffy I haven't done any for a couple of days, still plodding on with the sky and sea on the Queen Mary one...I'm sick of blue and green!
Mrs Bacon butty - what a good idea...Grin
Firefly we stayed at a travel inn once, near (next door) to a rather naice wedding venue/hotel...they were still singing and dancing at 1am Grin Their first dance was from Dirty Dancing, lots of 80s music followed, so I quite enjoyed it!
Nice and cool this morning, DH has gone to dispose of a little "gift" from NDNs cat, Trevor, which he thoughtfully left on our drive (mahoosive dead rat)🐹🐀🎁

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 01/08/2020 06:22

Cross stitch coming along lovely fluffy

Going to head to Ogmore first thing today. Not meant to be hot but DS will still enjoy sandcastles and paddling and will be so lovely to see the sea.
