New thread ladies Grin

Just going to put DS to bed and then I'll be back with my list.

minimammoth · 29/10/2010 11:44

I will be wearing ballgown and tiara of course[hgrin]

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 29/10/2010 11:51

Mini - I do do a little, but have to be v.v.careful because opening my knees will just hasten the onslaught of SPD. I can't even sit cross-legged on the floor with DS for more than a few minutes before I feel my pelvis pulling apart - it is so bloody frustrating :(

OP posts:
JustKeepSparkling · 29/10/2010 12:15

Ditto re cross-legged sitting :( and ds2 always wants to sit on my lap on the floor, and ds1 wants me to sit on the floor with him doing games. it's too painful.

FreakoidOrgansandBloodoid · 29/10/2010 12:40

Same re the crossed legs. And I'm not even pregnant, mine is just permanent. Bloody hip.

Cut dd's hair this morning and now my bathroom looks like it's covered in pubic hair Blush Wish I'd cut a bit more off so they were less pube-like in length.

My parents are coming to get dc this afternoon til sun morning! think I will go to Bristol tomorrow and do my father christmas shopping-I never normally get a whole day and it will be so much easier to just get it all in one go rather than having to try and sneak bits past dc at other times. Main presents can wait, will probably buy online anyway and it doesn't matter so much if the dc see me buying those.

Still have slight headache and head feels like it has popping candy in, very wierd.

Yoga definately a 'No' for SPD. But you dont need to sit cross legged, lots you could do on chair, standing, kneeling etc. Anyway you all know your bodies best. But I do sympathise.
Enjoy your day out Freak. Get those pubic hairs off the bathroom floor before parents arrive[hgrin]

Pumpkinbummum · 29/10/2010 17:20

Wasting have you had your thyroid checked,
when mine finally gave up the ghost I had put on a stone, had a period that lasted 21 days and couldn't keep my eyes open!

vastingavay · 29/10/2010 17:27

I had it checked quite recently Plum.

I am quite obese which has a big impact on hormones unfortunately. Blush

Plum the cake is so chic. Well done. Tell us about the dress Plum

Pumpkinbummum · 30/10/2010 10:14

No they didn't want bride & groom, she told me she had feathers in her bouqet so I asked if she would like me to make a feather topper, but their intials are infront of middle cake

eek dress not sure if I like it now, a bit too much flesh on display couldn't find exact dress but here is back & white version, mine is black

So going out with my mum this morning to see if I can see anything else but good news is my dress from first wedding in Rome fits again so I must have lost abit of weight!!
