Slatterns Lists Here Now

[minimammoth]

SLATTERNS Yoohoo bring those lists here now!

Ok have used phone so not great quality pics but should give an idea...
Is dress too dark/austere?
Do my knees look too knobbly?
Do I look flat chested/pot bellied?
Should I wear something more summery?
Should I wear something "younger"?

Freak

You look fab, honestly. Knobbly knees? No.

And no to all the rest of it - that just struck me as a particularly daft unnecessary question!

Ali I know I have ishooooos

My mum has always gone on about how skinny and unattractive my legs are so that's how I see them. When I try anything on I look to the legs first, then (lack of) boobs, and lately then to belly. At least the boobs have got bigger now and having fed two babies I like them a lot more for working properly

Freaki you look fab, lovely legs am

Gosh, very very smart and sleek, look at you?!? WOW.

Today

• Take DC out for tea (now) DONE
• Fold last of drying laundry DONE
• Finalise Tesco Order this evening DONE subj to DH confirming on a couple of items for him
• Hoover out DH's car DONE it was truly minging. Like I need extra jobs right now!! He is mowing, so divide and conquer.
• Bath kids and put to bed NOW!!!
• Pack my things, get DH to pack tonight, not in the morning (easier said that done). Kids are packed.
• Gardening tonight - one hour 8-9

OH yes, the stars are looking down on me.

Gardening has been cancelled by mutual consent. Which brings me to the packing.... now where are those waterproofs......

UK seaside holiday, so need to be prepared for anything! But it's two weeks of NOT being here. I need the change of scene - I hesitate to say "break" as there won't be one.

See you in the morning.

Oh I need to roast a chicken too
and be really organised for tomorrow, the Red arrows are coming and I have promised the dcs we shall go see them,
it is at the place where my granny lives which unfortunately is a small practically one lane one way system town, which I still have to drive through to get to any of my relatives houses to park at, at least I will be gauranteed a parking space but will probably still have to sit in traffic

I had planned to leave early and let ds skip training but they asked could he do his first tournament on Sunday so need to be there tomorrow to register, so won't be able to leave until lunch
Lets hope everyone else goes early

Plum we have decided not to say anything about me being pregnant for the time being. So far we've only told some family and not told other friends that we've seen so we are going to stick with that. Once I've got past the 12 week scan then I will ring her and tell her, but I feel like the first time we see them since her m/c needs to be about her/them if they want to talk about it - does that make sense?

Alice I think she knows the baby is coming :)

Hi Ipom, How goes it?
Extra cuddles for DD Alice, she'll have to share you soon.
I have been on treck to Lakeland this morning and have got the mothproofing spray. So sleeves rolled up tomorrow and spraying will commence.
