Thanks Crazy for the fabulous Christmas pictures, only seen them now! Smile

why Did you wake up and ask him why he'd nicked it? Grin

Last night my dream was that Charlie had jumped in my handbag and turned up at some art/drawing class I was at...it was raining and Tilly skulked in like a drowned cat. I then had to try to drag/carry them home and they were both most uncooperative Grin I know an Airbus Beluga flew over as we got near home one for the plane spotters
When I got in DH wanted his tea, so some dreams are quite realistic🤦🏻‍♀️😺☔✈

Loving the crazy dreams! I had some crackers in early pregnancy, but they seem to have settled now (probably because I'm not sleeping well).

Very jealous you're plodding along, Hairspray. I'm not yet 6 months and am already fed up!

Went shopping this morning. It was super exciting Wink

I bought a dinner set for DParents'' 40th anniversary next month (as requested!!), Chocolate and sweets for my hospital bag (if they make it that far), dark chocolate chips (Morrisons keep subbing them for milk chocolate) and peppermint tea (as we've raised the tone a little on this thread, I'll leave that one to your imaginations Wink).

They also had a lot of the meat reduced to half price or less in Morrisons, so I have filled the chest freezer before I've even emptied it Blush. Can't argue with £2 for 500g diced steak, though. Perfect for slow cooker teas!!

Missed a courgette in the front raised bed... Shock

Firefly that's a whopper Grin

whydoesitalwayshappentome · 21/07/2020 14:23

Boots I did ask and he looked at me like I had two heads 😂

HairsprayBabe · 21/07/2020 14:27

I had a dream that DH was making strange noises in the kitchen so I went in and demanded to know what he was up to....

Just practicing his snake noises 😂😂😂

He keeps dreaming of me dying 💀HmmShock usually in a dramatic event like a plane crash or ship sinking!!!

MarshmallowManiac · 21/07/2020 15:04

He's having your pregnancy dreams too Hairspray coming out in sympathy with you Grin

Wow massive courgette Firefly love the colour of your Fitbit Smile

I wondered if anyone would notice the pictures Marshmallow Xmas Grin

Loving the crazy dreams. I'm assuming they're hormone related because I had awful ones when I was on hormone treatment - I dreamt DH had died once and I was calling people to tell them and everyone was calling me a liar. That was horrible, as were ones where he was cheating / I woke up and he'd left.
Absolute worst was dreaming we were in this lovely cottage and had 3 kids then all of a sudden they were gone and we couldn't find them anywhere. I woke up crying after that one 🙄

Firefly that's giant! Shock

I've just finished work and am in a great mood. My lovely friends are aged a 'congrats on the new job' present which was delivered today. I had no idea and I'm so excited, they know me so well - and so lucky it wasn't the one I decided to order the other day!

NoWordForFluffy · 21/07/2020 16:05

That's a brilliant gift, Crazy!

Hormonal dreams are indeed insane! 😂

They were fabulous Crazy and made me feel in even more of a Christmassy mood (if that were possible) [santa] Wow that's such a lovely present, sound like thoughtful friends Smile
That sounds like a horrible dream, I bet when you woke up you were feeling really anxious Sad

MarshmallowManiac · 21/07/2020 17:01

Love a good shopping trip Firefly you got some really good bargains!

sideorderofchips · 21/07/2020 17:30

Afternoon all.

I went for a nice walk today wutbt the kids and a friend

WreckTangled · 21/07/2020 18:26

Afternoon. We've had a lovely day, it was a bit chilly this morning but boiling this afternoon. I've ordered a swingball set for the garden hopefully a new toy will help to keep them entertained over the summer...

Mrsmadevans · 21/07/2020 18:43

Hello everyone Smile
Here you are then , l just posted on Maniacs thread , l see a new person posted here asap and on Maniacs thread! I bet we know who that was!
Well what on earth have you all been doing ?
Let me see

Mrsmadevans · 21/07/2020 18:48

Wreck l am just wondering how massive this paddling pool is ? Grin
Swingball is a great pastime for the Dc they will love it ! , I used to take my anger out on it too lol it's a great stress breaker Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 21/07/2020 18:50

I'd give it 5 minutes tops before a child got a swung ball to the head in this household, Wreck! 😂😂

WreckTangled · 21/07/2020 19:01

Fine by me fluffy Grin they would probably deserve it.

It's 12ft I think mrs. Only up to their thighs but ds still managed to swim in it

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/07/2020 19:02

Ohh yes a SwingBalll to the head is a rite of passage Xmas Grin with that game ..you learn to duck !

MY DC were both late .
DS by a week (I ended up in hospital really ill , on a drip )
DD by 3 days , but had to be "encouraged" out by being induced (waters went on due date) I'm sure she hung on by her fingernails until the Midwife went on her break , then whoosh there she was .

DH is watching "Norseman" it's like a very camp "Vikings" Xmas Hmm

I have weird dreams every night .
I ask my family if they want to hear them, I get the eye roll and "You always do " (have a weird dream )

I need a Dream Diary

Mrsmadevans · 21/07/2020 19:14

Chips glad you have had a nice day with your friend & the Dc , more days like that for you too l hope Flowers
Fluffy that is wonderful so thoughtful of them Smile

TheWoollybacksWife · 21/07/2020 19:19

I think I mentioned on the last thread that I woke up with my heart racing after dreaming of being chased through B&M by Robson Green wielding an air horn. DH reckons I'm on some funky painkillers 🤣

MarshmallowManiac · 21/07/2020 19:19

My DD1 was induced 70 but it made no difference. in the end she was in distress so had to have an emergency caesarean Sad
Would love a dream diary, have a dream dictionary somewhere Grin

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 21/07/2020 19:24

Good to see you chips and glad you had a nice day :)

Also had a nice day here taking DS to the park for the first time since March! He was so so happy :)
