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.

Bella - What does 'after my initial weight loss with the bread' mean? A new bread-based diet??????

Queen - I don't know you (yet!) but I had crappy morning sickness with two of my pregnancies. Salty crisps helped me (as in one or two here and there, not whole packets in one go), as did sipping diet coke - that helped loads actually. Also, make sure you aren't deficient in B vitamins as that can make pregnancy nausea worse.

Oh yes and McDonalds did it for me too but I lucky enough to be one of those freaks who can eat for England during pregnancy and actually lose weight!

YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:26

That reminds me....I should probably go actually try the dress on and make sure it still fits. It ought to, I'm sure I am not as heavy as when I wore it 2 years ago. In fact, I think I'm about a stone lighter....what if it is too big? What if my norks are too big?

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 30/04/2010 21:26

SAF - that topic's banned from now on.

No offence

YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:27

bella, have you got a link to those shoes?

I am on the clarks website at the moment (M&S wasn't as easy to navigate)...but not seeing anything....help anyone? Links please?

OP posts:
YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:29

ooh, I really like these

OP posts:
MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 30/04/2010 21:30

Ooh, I like those too, Yank

Get them!

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 30/04/2010 21:30

Ooh, Teal shoes would look fab with that dress Yank.

Fab dress anyway

bellavita · 30/04/2010 21:30

MrsW - I took the advice of tracey and hells and cut out all bread and a reduced the carb portions greatly as I had got stuck and could not budge the weight even though I am doing weight watchers. I lost a few pounds, but have reached that plateau again.

YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:32

Someone needs to link me to some suitable teal/turquoise shoes! Seriously, I don't know what I'm doing!

OP posts:
MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 30/04/2010 21:32

CUT OUT BREAD!!!????? are you mad, woman!!??

Oh crap, I need to kick start things again - how long would I have to do it for?

DreamsInBinary · 30/04/2010 21:34

Hello, hello

What a bloody day

DS spent the day telling everyone we met that he "fell down 14 steps" and showing them his bruised, lumpy forehead. Just as this started to pass, he decided that the best place to deposit an enormous poo was on the floor of the (nice - wooden toys, organic meals etc) play place. [There are no words emoticon]

I. Need. A. Drink.

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 30/04/2010 21:34

put some sunnies on first, though, Yank

bellavita · 30/04/2010 21:34

This is my fourth week I think.

I have had bread twice in the last four weeks. One small sandwich last week and one this week when I have been stuck for work. I am planning on not eating bread for a long time.

YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:35

I found these but they don't come in 6.5...is this the type of thing everyone is talking about?

OP posts:
YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:36

oh DIB

OP posts:
BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 30/04/2010 21:37

Sorry to hear that DIB

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 30/04/2010 21:37
MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 30/04/2010 21:38

Yank! I was just about to link to those! I love them

DH likes them too, if that makes any difference

Oh god dib that's awful! Have a drink. Do it.

DS has a fat lip himself, as he went to the ball pool with MIL and her DD. All fine until they left at which point he tripped over and landed flat on his face. Looks like someone smacked him one in the mouth

yank I will not attempt to give fashion advice - please don't think I'm ignoring, it's just that I like odd choices of clothing to say the least. Style and beauty guru I most certainly am not

DreamsInBinary · 30/04/2010 21:40

Tis a magical combo thank you

DreamsInBinary · 30/04/2010 21:42

MrsW - I imagined said margharita being delivered by a tall pink bird holding a silver, circular tray above her shoulder in a Speakeasy style.

Do you think I need to get some more sleep..?

bellavita · 30/04/2010 21:42

Yank - these?
