oh bloody hell Snuggly! congratulations.

Fucking hell snuggly, wow. Ah you'll be fine. Are there twins in the family?

Hope Dd Italian is ok and gets home soon.

Wreck is right, we are all here. We start them early with frugaleering on this thread.

At least it's not triplets.

Thanks everyone. I'm getting excited but it's still early days and I don't think it's quite sunk in yet! Super-frugaleering needed now!!

Quick post.

Wow, just wow Snuggly! OMG, OMG. My DMIL had twins as her 3/4 DC (My DH is one of them). She says having already had one child is a massive help in dealing with it all.

We have a Miele Cat and Dog and it's brilliant, much better imho than our previous Dysons.

Italian, hoping all is well with your DD.

Spends today.

£50 hairdressers.
£70 camp for DD.
£15 M&S.
£20 mascara, Clinique, last bought in December 2015, so can't moan.
£15 Miele dustbags, you lot reminded me .

Slow cooked Beef and Ale casserole for tea, with broccoli and sweet potato.

Wow snuggly huuuuuge congratulation.. Exciting
Dd is having fewer and dehydrated so she's on a drop and the doc rather wanna keep her overnight at least so they have a close eye on her... It hurts prop me more than her right now, hate to see my little bundle of joy so poorly...

Huge congrats Snuggly.

Thanks everyone.
Hope she gets well soon, Italian.

Ssnuggly Wow...! So glad it is good news.

8Italian* hope yur DD is up on her feet soon.

Huge congratulations Snuggly, did your heart stop for a moment when you found out? Such lovely news!

Spends today:
€1 water
€1 parking
€15 foundation
€8 hoodie for DS.

Hoping the foundation will be a frugal win as its a lot cheaper than my current Lancôme one. Fingers crossed

italian what a worry! Hope she's better really soon

NSD today but tomorrow will be a spendy day. And I need a haircut and colour asap. I look like Professor Snape. It's not a good look. But the hairdresser's are all booked up for weeks!

DS is highly strung today. I think the heat is making him angry...
"I no like mummy"
"I no like garden"
"I no like sunshine"
"I no like the cat."
"I no like anything"
"I no like cuddles"
"I no like biscuits"
"I want chips!".... (He's never had chips!)

It's one of those days

Great news Snuggly and little snugglies.
Wreck the swimming sounds great, we went swimming today too and it was an out side pool, with great view, was lovely, just wish it was my back garden!
Nsd today as it was my mum's birthday so dad paid

Frugal win. My parents were clearing out my old room and found these! I don't remember buying them look brand new!

Those are nice, Wreck - result!
Bertie I actually gasped when I found out!
Apart from parking at the hospital (£4.75) it's been a NSD.

Snuggly- I have twins as DC 3&4- I love it. How old is your older DC?

snuggly that's great news!

Seeing the two babies is rather a shock isn't it when you're not expecting it

My mum's friend had twins in 1998 (her 4th and 5th dcs) and didn't know she was having them until the birth! (I don't think she bothered going for her scan.)
