The summer sunSHINEY is here!

[NormaSknockers]

Welcome, welcome one & all to our 8356th thread if your name's not down then come in anyway!

If you're wanting to lose weight, improve your diet or chat about absolutely anything from feta cheese to boobaloobas you're in good company, just dive in & get chatting.

Oh and, beware the penguins!

Bowel moving, Bella? Or don't we share that much? I am out of the loop having missed a thread

afternoon all,

SAF well done on the loss. And I'd never heard of the agnus stuff for PMT - might look that up as I'm terrible with that.

Alice - no no no homebase - it'll be hot and busy. Just relax...please

Vinny - missed you before you left...but sending you good luck date vibes

Wasting you sound happy and well.

Yank - I wish there was something we could do...it's so awful that you are going through so much right now.

Bella - wow for fitting in a pre DC dress!!

Shiney - what a lovely helpful girlfriend you are

BOF.....love the mannequin idea...does she currently have the thigh high boots on?

Mitts - I hope you are feeling better or perhaps even getting a nap after that early start.

Waves at everyone I've missed (I'm too hot and tired to catch up properly!!)

DD is being a little terror...on food strike (except strawberries ) and just generally terrorising us all as she waddles about squealing, shouting and bossing us about (I dread to think what she will be like when she hits terrible twos).

Not bowel related!

Let's just say, I feel a bit more laid back today

oh and MrBella is in my good books for a change!

I've put the mannequin up on my profile now.

Oops, need to open it first, hang on...

Ok, it's up. That's all that's on there, as I seem to have lost my profile, but I'll do a new one tonight.

Could just be because I've namechanged though, I guess.

Ooh Bella.

BoF - that looks fab

BOFITQ - I love the new name, in homage to Mr Hunt?

I gasped when it got blown to bits last night .

I'm off to B&Q to get my new shower now, I am prying that the guy actually shows up to fit it tomorrow!!

Have v bad PMS cramps so may have to give in to some painkillers, just to get me round B&Q without wanting to kill someone.......

Hope you all have a good weekend, and those who are feeling rubbish feel better soon!!

Will check in on Monday with my new weight.....

Oh, FGS!!!

Any ideas on how to calm a giant spot??!! Just glanced in the mirror and fear I may have to put a bag on my head before heading out!!

Ouch, it's sore.......

When did that arrive? I swear it wasn't there this morning......

I hate that! Have you got any benzyl peroxide cream? That's the best, I find. I think you can get it over the counter. It's probably the hot weather and make-up mix.

And the flamin' PMT!!! Hormones!!! Agghhhh!

Thanks, will see if I can get it.

Don't usually wear foundation but as I am actually about to leave the house, without it being for a hospital trip, I thought I'd treat myself to a more healthy look!!!!

I have a feeling this won't be the first eruption......

I have just left a message on the answermachine of a woman who didn't turn up for a viewing.
I left my home number instead of work one.

So just me being a fuckwit here today.

It is boiling here, hope it is tomorrow as well.

Mouseface, put an icecube on to take swelling down?

BOF - that is lovely. Your room looks quite a bit like our sitting room (but tidier!)

Shiney - It must be love! You looking after someone elses child?

Helles - thank you so much for the lovely clothes

Have been to homebase. DH drove and pushed trolley and stuff. I just chose some tiles and flooring for our bathroom. Will get a before and after pic when its done. Now lying on the sofa while DH does garden type diy (best stay out of the way...)

Lizzy - No icecubes, how about a cold t-spoon? Have flung one in the freezer.

I hate when people don't show for viewings, we've had two no-shows.

DH not back yet from our viewing........ fingers crossed!

BOF, that mannequin is fab, your room looks gorgeous.

SAF - apologies, my head is a bit fuzzled today.

Went to put the iron in the fridge earlier and found the milk in the cupboard.

DH wants to have me certified........

shiney, you are a fantastic girlfriend!

bella, I'm all bunged up with a cold, but DS's chest infection seems a bit better. He's not refusing all food now like he was a few days ago. DH also has a cold but at least he is allowed to take the sudafed, I've been told I can't due to breastfeeding and after that nosebleed I'm a bit nervous anyway. Have a good night out with your DH!

Mouseface, fingers crossed re: buyer for the house

BOF, it is lovely to see you back!

hells, don't worry, I can take it! Especially since I have you lovely lot for support and have had some unexpected surprises turn up in the post, those have really cheered me up. I have a lot to be thankful for. If anything, I am realising all over again just how fantastic, wonderful and compassionate DH is. I don't think there are a lot of people who would be so welcoming to their spouse's XILs. XFIL came this morning to pick XMIL up and came in for a bit. I was showing him the website we'd set up for XH and he started crying and DH was wonderful with him. DH hugged XMIL before she left too, has made her feel so welcome this whole week. I married such a gem, and despite all the bad luck we've had recently, I am lucky we are together!

Re: Agnus Castus, I used to take it for PCOS, trying to get myself ovulating more regularly so I could get pregnant.

Thanks Yank. Your DH is lovely. There's not may out there. It would appear you and I have one though....

Sorry you have a cold, funny, DD was off school feeling the same?

Going to attack evil spot now.

Back Monday.

Oh Yank, your DH sounds lovely, you two make such a loving and caring couple.

I am melting...the sun is blazing in through the shop front and the fan is just circulating boiling hot air.

Ah well, DH is at home laying our new hall floor, so am not too jealous.
