yikes, coil fitting not cancelled after all - seems swabs are back Confused . Gone all shaky as was just relaxing re: not having them done today. Might not post until tomorrow as got to get ready etc. Rung DH to tell him we were on again and what time we needed to leave for hosp and he was all 'yeah, i think i should be able to get a shower and be ready by then' with absolutely no thought that I'd need a shower/help with alice so i can get a quick meal first Angry . right, over and out, see you on the other side hopefully [wobbly knees]

Good luck reastie, you'll be grand xx

americanexpat · 29/06/2011 16:50

40 - do you always look so fab Envy or did they have a stylist? You should've named and shamed the restaurant! Mikey is gorgeous and I love how they kept cutting to him.

Emski - sorry to hear about your grampy, no advice just hugs.

byronic - I thought I was going to die the first day on level 2 too! Now I can do most of it no problem, though still can't do a squat thrust.

Hmm, I'm suddenly craving croissants...

WeAreBorg · 29/06/2011 17:28

40 just to second what everyone else has said - how glam are you? Do you look like that all the time? Mikey is lovely. I would have had to practice my answers in front of the mirror for several weeks I think.
Emski so sorry about Grampy, I'm sure he is comfortable, so sorry you feel you can't visit, sounds awful.
Debka your comments always tickle me Grin.
wiggles your DH is Luther no? What a clever DH to work that out

ledkr · 29/06/2011 17:58

wiggles can dream
Well ems it would seem you have picked the right place for empathy re Grandad,i have just returned form seeing my 88yr old nan who is in hospital after yet another fall and has dementia too.Its a very sad time for families,my Mum is upset and me and my sisters hate that,i am sure things are going to hit me hard as i spent a lot of time with her following my parents divorce. She thinks all the nurses are the ones she had when she had her children.The nurses aren't very nice either which upset my Mum even more,they shushed her when she asked for a vase.
Had such a busy day,i feel like a frigging taxi driver,just having a quick coffee before the next trip out to get Darcey Bussle Ella.
Still want to know how the bbc knew about 40wks?

wiggles can i also waft the delicious Wentworth Miller otherwise known as "the guy from prison break" under your appreciative nose.Yum yum.

debka · 29/06/2011 20:09

Well, 45 minute sleep at lunchtime- and Imy seems to have gone straight to sleep tonight. She was cheerful when I woke her up too which is a nice change.

Watching the Wimbledon roundup now andogling pondering- Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Murray- in that order!! Grin

byronic how did the croissants turn out?

reastie I am clenching everything in sympathy, best of luck tonight xxx

ledkr are those tattoos real?? All your men (Idris, Wentworth) are a bit perfect for me, or maybe it's just the pics I find on Google.

40Weeks · 29/06/2011 20:10

Thanks girls, ledkr my sister phoned in to bbc2 yesterday as they were doing an item on babies in restaurants and they asked her to do it and she said no but my little sis (me) can, et voila.

How will tomorrow morning compete?

Clever Mr Wiggles, I think we need a Photo of him please as he almost feels part of our thread!

reastie how did it go???

emski so sorry to hear about gramps, what a horrid situation for you all

choc I am so jealous of your TT date, I get goosebumps whenever I hear Let Me Entertain You as it reminds me of Knebworth....lovely Robbie

ponyo great news about weight

Byronic you know you have to share whatever you bake. Don't you?!?

janedoe25 · 29/06/2011 20:12

Wow we have a celeb on the thread! You looked fab 40weeks and Mickey is so beautiful! Good on you for going on tv, you were really well spoken and got your point accross very well. So proud of you Grin

emski im so sorry to hear about your grampy, anytime you need to get things off your chest, im here. Hugs to you and your family.

ledkr im sorry to heat about your nan too, it must be the time for it. DF's Granny is hopsital too, she also has demetia and has no short term memory. She was found colapsed on the floor- she has a urine infection. Poor old souls.

I have found thee perect wedding dress! It is gorgeous, so not what i would have chosen but when i put it on i just fell in love with it! Off to pay the deposit on it tomorrow

janedoe25 · 29/06/2011 20:14

Pants, forgot to say reastie i hope your ordeal went well and you are ok.

debka · 29/06/2011 20:17

Forgot 2 things Grin

  1. Hi to ponyo, missed you today- and glad to hear the other skinny mini is coming along nicely! I am sore tempted to take S to the clinic tomorrow, I swear she's grown.
  1. Any other bfers babies started Boob Grabbing? I have little red marks all over the top of my boobs from S's nails.
debka · 29/06/2011 20:18

Ah keep x-posting.

jane piccy pretty please? :)

debka · 29/06/2011 20:27

BTW have put a new picture of Sabine starting weaning on my profile Wink

ledkr · 29/06/2011 20:38

Oh are you doing it earlier now Deb? Ive been giving Dilly a little taste of rice for tea,its hard work with the cleft bless her,the first time the cleft has thrown up a challenge Sad
I am chuckling at the thought of you googling all the fit men and dh kind of Hmm over your shoulder as you study them Grin
jane glad you found your dress so quickly,its great when it just clicks isnt it.
Sat here eating strawberries and wishing they were chocolate Hmm
Sorry ive forgotten what everyone said now,
Hope its ok reastie,you are way braver than me.

ledkr · 29/06/2011 20:40

haha i get it.

wigglesrock · 29/06/2011 20:41

WeAreBorg ledkr's right, am afraid if Mr W looked like Luther, I wouldn't have half as much time free to spend on MN [phnar phnar]

ledkr can appreciate Mr Miller but he's a bit young looking Grin, hope Ella got on ok at ballet.

debka great piccie, Sabine is gorgeous, afraid you have a bit of a carnivore there Grin

jane Yay for the dress,and I too am demanding a piccie!! my granny can't "make" any new memories either Sad

40Weeks just think you'll be able to show Mikey his first foray into tv for years to come, he'll be loving that when he brings someone home for the first time Grin

Emski76 · 29/06/2011 20:51

Thanx guys ref my grampy. My mum text me earlier to say the docs dont think he'll still be here tomorrow. I've told her I'll be there for her whenever she needs me, that's all I can do.
Reastie, hope your little op goes ok.
Jane, really pleased you found your dress, isn't it great that it just clicked for you
Loving the pic of Sabine! I expected a pic of her eating baby rice not an animal!!
Ledkr, sorry about your gran too. Is horrible isn't it? My poor mum has watched her daddy slowly fading away this last year, I can't imagine what she must be feeling.
Haven't shredded today as manic busy plus friend and sil just cooked us tea and we had crumble and cream for pudd, whoops!
Have had to buy new swimming cossie as boobs too big and 'wobbly' for old one. Looked down at swimming with Noah last week to discover half of one boob popping out! Now, nobody wants to see that. The poor young lifeguard will be scarred for life!
Byron, yum send a croissant my way!
Night all, sleep well

ILovePonyo · 29/06/2011 20:59

deb love the pic Grin dd has def been drinking more so I had a feeling when I got her weighed she'd put quite a bit on. 2 things - it made me smile on your profile where you put "prefer silence" for Music, after what you were saying about your dh the other day Grin And secondly, I have come over all broody looking at the pics of your 2 girls together Hmm Shock

ledkr hope E's ballet goes well. Have you found the baby rice amkes a difference with Dils sleeping or is this the first night you've tried it?

jane piccy please!!

Talking about grandparents, went to my g'dads 90th birthday a while back, he is losing his memory a bit so didn't recognise me but saw dd and knew who she was straight away! Shock He said "i've got her picture on my windowsill" which he has, then had a hold, was v cute but a bit sad too.

Hope reastie is ok. Hi to everyone else :)

ILovePonyo · 29/06/2011 21:01

Emski sorry again about your grampy, your poor mum too. Hope that whatever happens it is painless and non-traumatic for him.

(I did Grin about the swimming mishap btw :))

wigglesrock · 29/06/2011 21:14

emski I had a few "mishaps" re swimming costumes when we were on holiday Blush, thankfully there were no pointing, laughing children nearby, lifeguards I could cope with, am afraid a laughing 8 year old would have sent me on the first flight home Grin

janedoe25 · 29/06/2011 21:35

debka starting Sabine on the hard stuff already! Love the picture Grin

I will post a picture of the dress to my profile. I love it, it is so flattering and corseted, so if iam pg i can just let the corset out! It is mega bucks though and im slightly Blush about spending that amount on a dress for one day! I have spent the evening talking DF into it! So excited Grin

reastie · 29/06/2011 21:37

i'm back, and so proud to be braver than ledkr in getting a coil Grin Grin it's in [hurrah] i'm not gonna lie, it wasn't fun, but the painful bit only lasted a couple of minutes, and, assuming it works ok in my body, that's me sorted now for 10 years Grin

deb love the snake eating piccie, really made me Grin . was it you with the scratched boob? me too Hmm

jane dress piccies please

ledkr · 29/06/2011 21:38

ponyo Dilly has never really woken in the night just crackingly early and this has changed from 5 till 6 over the last few days which coincides with the rice giving so im scared not to now,tbh she doesnt have much so im not sure it would make a difference im just trying to get her used to it.
Re swimming costumes,me ds3 and Ella were in Ibiza a few yrs ago and i went down the death slide in the water park,ds was filming me and when i stood up my bottoms were up my arse and my boobs were sticking out Blush the funniest bit on the video is ds being heard saying"oh,no,oh my god mum" haha

janedoe25 · 29/06/2011 21:40

ledkr Grin Grin
glad you are ok reastie

photo uploader not working, so i will post a link instead!

ledkr · 29/06/2011 21:42

wiggles theres nothing wrong with young

Also meant to say my taste in men can be a little odd,i had a big crush on Robbie Coltrane when he was in Cracker Confused

ledkr · 29/06/2011 21:44

Stunning Jane,its not unlike the dress the bride wore on Friday,its truly stunning.
