Shiney once started a thread, with Ladies who wanted to turn heads, They ripped off their girdles, and jumped badforyou hurdles, Now they are gorgeous, it has to be said.

So, come and join us in the Shiney corner;

for Lively banter, fabulous company, healthy eating support and advice,......

Well, just jump in and find out for yourselves...

Wow Norma! That makes me feel better, i am the same build as you too. I am nearly that size now. Was he a big baby? I didn't show til 20weeks with DD and then i was still smaller than i am now. DD was 7lb4oz

Alice - I did - she just gets way too aggressive and I can't stand all that third person stuff she does 'the pricey' etc.

But I do love her hairdresser and brother - they seem to have the measure of her.

Norma - it was entertaining and I do find her bizarrely interesting.

Suprisngly not, he was 7lbs 10oz My bump did slow down though, by the end I was actually measuring a few weeks behind so it all evened out in the end. I only gained 9lbs throughout the entire PG with him too....gained 4 with DD

4 stone with DD not 4lb....I wish!

Tracey IKWYM, I quite like her

Blimey Norma, was he a big baby?

Flam, not surprised you're in a bad mood! You will get the money back, but of course that won't help today I know.

I hate the bins. I'm sure fortnightly collections are to blame for my bin issue last summer.

Shiney, he sounds charming! Big car, little prick?

Well done Wilbury!

x-post there Norma. Once the stomach muscles have gone, they've gone I guess!

I always, always put weight on my stomach & added to the fact my stomach muscles are non-exsistant I guess I just ballooned

I didn't mean to sound rude Norma I mean it does make me feel better to know that subsequent babies show sooner. I think you're right Wasting, once the muscles have gone, they are gone! I used to ride racehorses before having DD so was quite muscly.

Norma - the weight goes to my middle first too

Alice you weren't rude at all you Ninny, glas it made you feel better

glad

That's not embarrassing Shiney don't sweat it, I was the result of a drunken fumble in the back of a Mini with a guy my mother had met a few hours earlier!!

Well Norma.....you've killed the thread with that one

Minis are very cool Norma.

Shiney - I guessed you weren't with him years or you'd have killed him for the patronising crap. I can cope with lots of stuff but being patronised really makes the red mist descend.

Alice - with ds1 I gained 4 stone - more than 50% of my normal body weight - I was a weeble.

But with dd I gained just over 1.5stone but showed quicker - my weight always goes to my tummy first anyway.

Very excited - 'up' has just arrived on dvd so that'll keep the ds's occupied tomorrow pm.

Am off to my sisters later and bil is going to do my hair - am going blonder and short choppy bob. V handy having bil whose a hairdresser as sister will look after bea whilst I get my hair done.

Norma - I love the detail of the mini

Was trying to explain to ds1 this morning why I never see my dad - he buggered off when I was 4 - quite hard for a 5 year old to understand. Conversations went - so is grandad your dad - umm no he's my step-father, so is Dennis your dad - umm no he's granny's boyfriend . . .

Morning

Shiney, arehole, i have one too, and no break for me again this weekend again

Poor FB, have a good scream, always makes me feel better

I was hugenormous when having ds2, like an elephant (although i weight more now that when i was 9 mths gone) i had an 8lb baby in there plus huge amounts of excess water

there is a pic of me on my real fb profile photos, not my vinny one

my ds2 was the result of a one night stand, i would never have choosen to be in a relationship with his prick of a father (although didnt realise he was a prick when i shagged him )

Urgh, Norma has given me her lurgy- I have just puked spectacularly after feeling shit for about half an hour. Slightly better now it's out, but nasty headache now- will pop back later if I perk up.

oh poor you

Vinny - you mean we're not your real FB friends

Erm...sorry about the TMI re the Mini, by gob runs away with my frequently

Oh BOF I'm sorry Go & have a rest, hope you feel better

I had a brief moment of feeling slightly better so decided to make a vegetable lasagne so that all I have to do later is reheat it for the DC & DH can take some to work, feel crap again now so flopped on the sofa again watching women trot around in their undies on This Morning!

I was absolutely huuuuuuge when I was pregnant - I gave birth to huuuuuuuge babies DS1 was 9lb 4 and DS2 was 9lb 5.5

Norma, think you may have infected DS1 as well, he is complaining of being very hot and has gone white......

Hope you and BOF feel better.

Alice I was desperate for a proper bump when pg with DS1, we went on a beach holiday when I was 16wks and I kept patting my stomach all the time so people would know I was pg, not just fat. With DS2 I was showing by 12 weeks, by 5mths people were doing the "you must be due very soon", "sure it's not twins" stuff.

My first love drove a mini, have very fond teen memories of backseats of minis.

Ahhh - I must be Vinny's real friend - I am not on VT's fb but her actual one!!

No fair Bella

Lizzy at your fond memories of Minis
