Put some SHINE in your life. . .

[YanknCock]

Sorry for crap title, my first time

Roundup of today:

shiney, hope you and J have a wonderful weekend together.

Queen, yuck. I hated nearly every minute of my pregnancy. Seriously, if you search my name from about Jan-Aug 2009, it will all be me moaning about how much it sucks. Sympathy for you from another hyperemesis sufferer.

DIB, my stomach leapt a bit reading about your DS, how scary! Glad he seems to be ok.

Alice, your DS is very curled up in there and you've got a ways to go (sorry!) so wouldn't worry about bump size at all.

VT, I think you should prepare for the camping by ceasing all ironing now

BOF, what the hospital appt for? You ok? Hope you feel better!

ABF, hello and welcome! I also think of Carry On films when I see ding dong, DH has forced me to watch them as part of my education on what it means to be British

DI, I am jealous. Tell me next time it is 'dress like a pirate day'.

SAF, my mom believed in benign neglect and got two very self-reliant and capable children. I don't go for doorstop selling of anything, I have a very comprehensive sign that seems to be keeping people away and stuff out of the letterbox.

bitter, I'm sorry, but at your DS being a bottom-flasher!

GetOrf, so giving up diet coke makes you lose weight? Might have to try that one!

bella, glad the cake situation was sorted. I am jealous, I want ducks to come to my house. We just have the neighbourhood cat who leaves us dead stuff [boak]

Goober, yay for another pound off!

korma, flylady is the way forward.

Sazz, that doesn't sound too bad, 4lbs can come off in two weeks. Good job on all the exercise.

Jet, hello! You just reminded me to check my BMI, and I have JUST graduated from 'Morbidly Obese' to merely 'Obese'! Hooray!

Mitts, at least she is your XMIL

hells, good luck with the nits

ScreaminEagle, I'm another who joined late (though it's been nearly 6 months now!).

Norma, hope your DS's finger is ok!

Defluff, at 'yo homies' I feel 12 again.

Went to pick up DS at nursery today and was alerted to the possibility he may be developing chicken pox!! ARrggggghhhhhhhhhhhh I really really hope not, I've only been back at work a week!

My luck is seriously shit. On the positive side the nursery worker thought if he had it the spots would be showing up faster instead of the very gradual increase over the day. So either he doesn't have it and has some weird other rash thing, or he has a mild case, or it will be turning up with a vengence tomorrow.

Either way, it is wine o'clock, DH is going to Spar now to fetch some in.

JAq - stop offering to wee on things...we'll have the Friday night sex crew in here soon ;-)

Right - off for my nightly dose of Jack Bauer...

Sleep tight all.

Oh and the calves are back which is good as I could hear mooing this morning and thought I was losing the plot.

Mrs W - I say JOIN then.

Realised I typed vin rough! I obviously meant vin rouge! I only drink vin rough when it's on special offer at the local offy

Mycat, I just thoght you had the same taste and bank balance as me

Fanny, but lambs are cute, and fluffy. I always call my boys lambs as they were born in March.
Still do love a lovely Roast lamb dinner though

I have ofen enjoyed a good roast- but I was younger then. Now I am liable to burp.

PITA, Footballers?
They are bastards for a roasting

Humph. I thought we'd gone to the scrap yard to get a part so the feckin annoying seatbelt chime stops going off All. The. Time.

And that we'd gone to Halfords to get parts so that in the not-too-distant future I'd be putting new brake pads on her car.

Anyway. We went to meet up with one of my old friends whose son was doing a Lambourghini (sp?) experience.

We had a pub lunch at a nice gastro pub by a stream, and then Shiney has helped cook lemon quorn with rice. She did a very important bit of it by battering & frying the quorn

Hi Jushi
YOur version of it sounds nicer, are you a spin doctor? Labour MP? Peter Mandelsson??

Loving the Gastro pub, I thought the weekend thus far had sounded a little like "The Gaffer", you have brought it back from the brink.

JuJusDad, how is your DD's bedtime/sleeping coming along?

ABF, good work not having the shortbread!!

Fanny, yes but I think you've passed me now in the weight loss, I'm trying to keep up Naughty lamb pooing on your floor!

Screamin, you, me and Fanny can form the short/pudgy trio of women who protest loudly about never being able to buy decent clothes.

MyCat, so good to have you back, glad the holiday gain seems to be limited.

Shiney, were there wet tshirts and bulging muscles in the scrapyard?

Mitts, your poor DD , very stressful day for you it sounds, hope you can relax a bit now. I was the similar to TC, had glasses from age 7, but never wore them until age 10 when I REALLY couldn't see the blackboard.

Queen, your sister is doing very well, I can vouch that it doesn't come off easily! I had a GP (who I'd never met before) have a go at me about my weight once, saying 'oh you like your food, don't you'. 'Actually, I have PCOS' I said, and you should have seen her face--she knew she'd really fucked up and she apologised and acknowledged that PCOS does make it much much harder. I don't do everything perfectly WRT to diet, but I have much less room for failure as following a diet perfectly for weeks will lead to very very slow loss, but messing up even for a day makes me pile on the pounds!

Sazz, sounds like a lovely evening at yours.

I'm another one that goes all crabby and shaky when hungry...will fight anyone for carbs!

Goober, how bout just a gentle slap? 2 buns isn't really worth shooting over

Jac, where were you a few hours ago when DH convinced me we needed dessert? The brownie sundae needed peeing on....

And at dinner I noticed DS's eye had gunk coming out of it and it just kept coming every time I wiped it away. Decided to stop by out of hours pharmacy on way home to get advice, and by the time we got to the out of hours surgery he had a lump of green/yellow goo and his eye had gone red and watery and swollen. So begged the receptionist to see if we could see a doctor instead and she okayed it even though the walk in place doesn't normally do 'drop ins'. NHS is really fantastic sometimes, we were out with antibiotics in about 20 minutes!

Evening.

Jaq - great to see you back

Jushi - wow living the high life eh!

Yank, it sounds like DS has got conjunctivitis.

Fanny, you have lambs following you around and I have ducks, although I did not let them into my house, I left them quacking at the front door!

Have had a good day diet wise apart from one of those caramel magnums tonight.

DH made a lovely tea - Saturday night is his night for cooking!

Oh I meant to say as well....we moved oop north two years ago last month, and on 1st May 2008 joined the regular WW. I was 18 stone exactly then. So it is exactly two years later, and I am 16st 9. Not a great average loss, but I am still feeling good about that since I did have a baby in between!

Only 6st 2lbs to go to reach my goal....really want to do it before I'm 35 (14 months to go).

What did you have Bella?

A slap would be good Yank, make it a hard one.

20 days til holiday.

Screamin, that is funny. My BF growing up was a size 22 at age 16. She had a great figure though, boobs, a waist, very lovely legs....
There is no standard shape/size...

Lovin' the round-up, Yank.

In case DS is prone, you can buy chloramphenicol from the pharmacist so long as you, er, lie and say it for someone 4+.

Clearly, I would not usually recommend that sort of thing, but DD had it so much in her first year (and not once in the year since?) and every time we took her to the doctor, that's what he prescribed.

My be worth buying and keeping an emergency bottle in the fridge. It's amazing stuff and works v quickly.

Disclaimer: if the GP did not prescribe the same stuff - IGNORE

GOOBER!!!!
Hey you, when are you off???

Yank, you are too young and I am v jealous.

Screamin, you've just exactly described all my wardrobe issues...

bella, yep, it was conjunctivitis. The perils of starting nursery I suspect....

now no more buns you!

Can I have a slap in return for allowing DH to order dessert to share? Neither of us needed it, as we admitted afterward.

Yank you are not morildy obese anymore are you? I still am but I think I am a couple of inches shorter than you.

Bella I would like ducks. I am thinking geese though as they are so expensive to buy at Christmas time.

Goobs, we had lamb koftas in this tomatoey sauce thing, salad and couscous. It was just out of the Good Food mag. The boys pick something that they would like to help DH do on a Saturday night to give me a night off cooking.

DS gets conjunctivitus a lot, he has a nasty habot of wiping his nose with the back of his hand then wiping his eye.

Fanny, we live next to a farm, but this is the first time in 12 years that the ducks have ventured down our street.
