maybe i am shallow but my ambition is to be a yummy mummy!!

since day 1 i have showered and washed hair then blowed dried it and had make up on from day 1 too.

thankfully was back in jeans in 3 weeks though still trying to work out how to lose mummy tummy - am same weight as before pg but tummy looser.

wear jeans and high heels every day unless i am going for long walk then change to MBTs. always wear outfit i wouldnt be embarrassed inif someone calls to visit.

go to mother and baby group, baby swimming and baby massage. have lunch once a week with mummy friends and sometimes coffee on other days too.

finally drive an X5 though had that since before i got pg.

anyone beat that??

yelnats maybe I'm the sad one, I can't keep away but it is keeping me amused tonight anyway.

onepieceoflollipop · 12/01/2008 21:31

Oh that's a good point expat, if you really are in Scotland - I'm in the Midlands! My car gets a bit smoky on the way to softplay so may not even get on to the nearest motorway.
ooh softplay, does that make me slightly yummy?

I wonder why op hasn't come back

As skanky cars go, I reckons mine is the worst.

It has a disturbing habit of revving its own engine. Freaks out little old ladies on zebra crossings. The engine does not sound healthy in a kind of worrying way.

That along with the dents, the rust, and the busted lock - and someone actually broke into it!

Still it's better than the last one.

Mine chugs as I pull into the petrol garage for snacks - yep, I live so far out of yummy mummy territory the closest place to buy food is 4 miles away at a petrol garage.

And I'm debating blowing off the shower because I'm going out at 7AM come hell or high water to hike for an hour.

LynetteScavo · 12/01/2008 21:34

Annabella, may I jsut ask your favourite cup cake/ biscuit recipe for morning coffee?

ArmadilloDaMan · 12/01/2008 21:34

IT also won't do above 30 (and that's at a push) if there is a slight incline.

Still the last one was worse. BUt it had the bonus that no one would steal it. They'd never get it started.

expatinscotland · 12/01/2008 21:36

sounds like our last car, too, armadillo.

mind you, someone stole the outside cover of the passenger side wing mirror off our green P-reg Vauxhall Astra today.

onepieceoflollipop · 12/01/2008 21:36

Can one be a yummy mummy and live in a rather downmarket Midlands city?

Just wondering...cos even if I do start wearing the right stuff and driving the right car I can't afford to move...

LynetteScavo · 12/01/2008 21:37

Sorry to ehar about your tummy, I was back in jeans with in days with DS1, back to pre-pregnancy weight with two weeks, and with in a couple of months has the most amazingly hard tummy. I looked amazing with my huge breat-feeding boobs.

Do you go to sing and sign? The earlier you start the better, DD and I just loved it!

onepieceoflollipop · 12/01/2008 21:37

Think we have scared the tr I mean lady away.

expatinscotland · 12/01/2008 21:39

Fuck that, Lynette, my mother had a planned csection with me and had her tummy 'tightened up' whilst on the theatre table!

Then she had the nerve to tell me, 'After you were born, I was never under 110lbs again.'

Oh, poor you, Mama! My left leg weighs 110lbs!

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 12/01/2008 21:41

I could have been a contender if it weren't for my awful wind this evening. I really do stink and no amount of Cristalle is going to mask it.

And the final nail in my yummy coffin is that the last time I looked in the back of my 4x4 it had a goat in it.

LynetteScavo · 12/01/2008 21:42

LOl expat, only in the US!

Where's she gone...I was going to ask her to post a photo, so we could all see her yummyness.

onepieceoflollipop · 12/01/2008 21:43

dead or alive? (the goat I mean)

expatinscotland · 12/01/2008 21:43

She had a lovely Brazilian OB, Lynette.

Actually, that's a trend borrowed from good ol' Latin America!

ArmadilloDaMan · 12/01/2008 21:45

I remember my mate visiting when ds was about a week old.

Sat between her an dmy mum (both skinny - I am most definately not), with them having a conversation about how they couldn't beleive my belly hadn't gone down yet. Theirs were both flat by the time they were out of hospital.

gah.

I don't think my belly has ever been flat.

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 12/01/2008 21:45

The goat was alive. I delivered it to a neighbour. I'll sweep the crap out tomorrow. Maybe. If I have time.

expatinscotland · 12/01/2008 21:47

it's supposed to piss the rain all over the entire UK tomorrow, Duchess.

i think you'd better hold off.

goat smells better when it's wet.

onepieceoflollipop · 12/01/2008 21:47

My belly only went flat because I spent 9 months puking (twice). Apologies to all yummy mummies for using the word puking on your thread.

Oh and my boobs have swelled up 3 cup sizes so I guess that is where the weight was relocated from my tummy.

expatinscotland · 12/01/2008 21:48

my belly went flat because i had PND and lived on coffee and fags.

onepieceoflollipop · 12/01/2008 21:49

Duchess transporting goats seems to be much more exciting than some of the traditional yummy mummy activities.

onepieceoflollipop · 12/01/2008 21:50

expat hope you are feeling better now.

expatinscotland · 12/01/2008 21:50

much better, one!

LynetteScavo · 12/01/2008 21:51
