wiggles it's MN top tips for travelling through airports. You said take a blanket Hmm and lots of pound coins.

reastie I think your decs look ace, i'll have a garland please Grin

ledkr have a luvverly time away, when are you back?

My little human dustbin had a weetabix, a nectarine and loads of yoghurt for tea tonight, you should have seen the belly on her in the bath, takes after her mum Grin

We're off to the PILs tomorrow for DH's nephew's christening, wish me luck... Back late Sunday so I'll save the stories for Monday for you Grin

MizK · 19/08/2011 20:10

Wow wiggles you're a quoted MNer! You'll be in danger of having your head turned soon and start judging the rest of us on the colour of our sofas and whether we wear bootcut jeans before you know it :)

ledkr have a fab hol. I remember being in Ella's shoes and fiercely policing my mum's cig habit, I remember throwing her fags away in a fit of ten year old's self righteousness once - twas a good thing she didn't believe in beating children is all I'll say - thank god she's a hippie.
debka have fun at the PILs - well if not fun, hope its survivable (is that a word?)
Wave to everybody else, hope we are all having nice Fridays?
borg and ponyo I am a big Inbetweeners fan too so hoping to see it tomorrow night....

Having a friday night glass of rose, meant to be cooking paella and catalan bread in order to reminisce about Spain, however thus far have only managed to pour a drink and put music on, fail fail fail!

wigglesrock · 19/08/2011 20:20

debka and MizK thank Christ, I had visions of it being a rude one Grin

Mr w is off tonight, settling in for a bit of Jake Gyllenhall (sp) on DVD Grin

Haha MizK I chucked my dads cigs away too when young then started smoking at 11 Shock naughty me. Good luck with the paella but if you have wine well who needs food Grin

debs how cute about big baby belly, good luck for the weekend, looking forward to hearing all about it on monday :)

wiggles you're famous! Glad A was better last night, hope tonight is good for you too.

ledkr I filled the car with general stuff when I went to my mums for the weekend Hmm bloody babies needing lots of things! Have a nice weekend and enjoy your wine and fags. Poor ds too, hope its not too stressful/worrying for him.

Borg any poo yet? Grin Loved the description of N's poncey nutritious menu Wink

We went to Wollaton park today, had a picnic and nice walk around the lake, dd seemed to enjoy herself and when I was taking a photo of dp and dd a very nice lady asked if we wanted her to take one of all 3 of us, then said "you won't get many with you all in you know!" which I thought was true. I have vowed to do that as a good deed for someone myself now!

Sat with a glass of lovely wine watching tv, ahh relaxing. hope you are all enjoying your fri nights too :)

knittakid · 19/08/2011 20:31

I'd be shitting myself too if af was late! Btw, has everybody got theirs already?

Thanks all.
Ella doesnt know i smoke about once in a blue moon when i go out btw.
How can wiggs be quoted and not meeeeeee grrr Grin

knitta are you drunk?

wigglesrock · 19/08/2011 21:25

Am watching Source Code and knittakid your repeated message is freaking me out Grin, this will of course make no sense if you haven't seen the film, which is v good btw!

OP posts:
reastie · 19/08/2011 21:36

ledkr love the knitta drunk comment Grin

wiggles if you want to see the email for prosperity pm me your email and I'll forward it to you

ledkr have a lovely break, can't stop singing 'I've got a brand new combine harvester' now Wink ooo arrrrr . Hope ds is OK - keep us updated.

Well, tis Alices first night in her own room tonight. Not going swimmingly yet - she's sleeping on my bed next to me and my boob . We had to collect thre christening cake today for the christening that now doesn't exist until november. DH has a massive chocolate cake to munch through all on his own Wink

geez is it just me or don't you feel ancient when they have adverts on tv for compilation cds which are sold as 'classic' songs and you remember them the first time through as if it were yesterday [old biddy]

borg when is swimming? Hope there isn't a pool evacuation Wink

wigglesrock · 19/08/2011 22:24

reastie many thanks and they weren't even my best ones Grin Good luck for tonight, even if she gets up a few times it is still lovely having a room to yourself.

WeAreBorg any luck yet or is Nate still egg bound? Grin

Night, night, off to take my place amongst the oft quoted or to dream about being stuck in the same eight minutes over and over again with Jake Gyllenhaal [yum yum]

weird! that's what bloody phones do for you...

knittakid · 19/08/2011 22:48

angels, lovely sewing! i just finished a pair of trousers for p, with a french seam and all!

janedoe25 · 19/08/2011 23:02

Evening all,

wiggles i bow down to your new found MN royality! Glad Anna was better last night, fingers crossed fro tonight.

ledkr sorry to hear your ds is ill, i hope he is ok. Have a fab holiday with the combine harvester!

reastie Your poor DH and the chocolate cake, a martyr to the cause! Grin Hope Alice settles well in her own room.

borg "bus wanker" indeed Grin Just back from the cinema, Inbetweeners was hilarious!

debka Hope the weekend with the outlaws is painless.

Hi to everyone else, here have a Wine on me.

WeAreBorg · 19/08/2011 23:09

reastie love your little decorations, very cute. Good luck for tonight, hope The Boob gets a rest. I'm very jealous of your DH getting an entire cake that he simply must eat.
led hope you have a nice hol
wiggles congratulations on your celeb status, hope you still talk to us plebs when you're off galavanting with Jake.
mizk Grin at your cooking efforts; opening wine.
ponyo naughty child smoker you. I was one of those annoying brats who would tell random people smoking was bad for them and pick up their litter. I am amazed I actually had friends!

No plops here. I have done everything I can think of including swimming, going out without a changing bag and change of clothes, laying him down nude on my freshly changed sheets - these things used to work without fail!

I think we might have had this conversation but did you know you got free books at 6 months - one about faces and the peepo one!

Iamjustthemilkmachine · 19/08/2011 23:29
ILovePonyo · 20/08/2011 08:00

Like the new name knitta oops I mean milkmachine Grin I am impressed at you making trousers for P and have to say I don't even know what a french seam is Blush

Borg free books you say? I've not heard about that either and was tempted to buy the Peepo book in Sainsbos yesterday (in honour of you lot). Your lists of 'things you have done' to make N poo made me laugh, its got to be today surely?! Grin at you picking up litter and telling people off for smoking, funny.

famouswiggles was the film good then? I thought the advert looked a bit rubbish but if Jake G is in it who cares?!

reastie hope last night went really well :)

I thought all the fresh air yesterday might help dd sleep but she still woke up a few times, getting her arm/leg stuck in the bars of the cot or rolling over and bumping her head Hmm Am considering cot bumpers tbh. Anyway she slept til 6.30 so can't complain. Hope evryone has a good saturday (grey and cloudy here, boo)

hubbard86 · 20/08/2011 09:16

hi ladies. Just a quick one before mayhem ensues. Thank you all so much for your lovely words of support. I'm doing better, toms fine everytime someone looks at him he says dog bite instantly think he's fed up of people asking.
Not looking forward to today. It's dh's brothers wedding, which means fil will be there. Have not spoken to him since he threatened me back in jan. I will be civil as a wedding is no place to say anything, but i can't stand to be in the same room as him. Have ironed toms suit and freyas dress and my dress (haven't worn a dress since july last year for bff's wedding and i was maid of honour so i had too). Seeing as i bought it 6yrs ago for a wedding and 2 kids later i can still get it on and zipped up is a miracle. It's a lovely 50's style black and white tea length dress.

reastie · 20/08/2011 09:35

hubbard how are you feeling in yourself now? I hope you're not still blaming yourself. You're going to have to supply piccies now of you/tom/freya so we can admire how lovely you all look for the wedding - the dress sounds lovely Grin

wiggles you should charge mn for your advice Wink

borg we will need poo updates throughout the day soon Shock - does he look uncomfy like he can't go?

Free books? how do we get those??

knittingmilkmachine love the sounds of the trousers and am Envy .

Re my gingerbread decoration - those that have seen it - is it the right colour? I feel he looks too pale but they didn't sell any more tanned colours in john lewis Confused

deb and hubbard hope time with pil goes OK

Alice sleeping update - apart from going to bed late (10:30) she slept through to 6am Grin

40Weeks · 20/08/2011 11:16

Oh Hubbard I hope you have a great day despite all that - why did fil threaten you!? Maybe take ledkr with you? Good luck, dress sounds lush

reastie I love the gingerbread, colour looks fine although could try and order darker felt online to compare?

wiggles superstar, join me in the green room won't you?

ponyo M always sleeps across the cot and gets his arms stuck, I too thought about bumpers. Am sure I have one in the loft....

knitta/milkmachine the tart was OK. Looks a bit 'rustic' shall we say but tasted good! Better that way round I supposes, thanks for asking

Well ddh has taken ALL 3 BOYS out for a walk so I can shower and Hoover in piece. Which is of course what I am doing.

40Weeks · 20/08/2011 11:19

And reastie you should get the free bookstart books through your HV

americanexpat · 20/08/2011 11:59

knitta - ooo, another sewer! I have fabric to make DH and L matching shirts. Grin I'm finding it hard to sew for myself when I'm carrying so much extra weight.

Borg - I would've thought at least one of those techniques would have produced a massive poo. Shock And I'm back with you, L was up twice last night, seems sleeping through was just a fluke.

janedoe25 · 20/08/2011 12:31

Hi milkmachine Grin

ponyo Is the Zumba wii game any good?

wigglesrock · 20/08/2011 15:50

Hello all

Spent the day at the posh park again, well you know us slebs have to stick together Grin

Suddenly thought four4me that the park is probably quite near where your sister moved to, no excuse for not coming over and bringing the kids now Grin

hubbard hope you enjoy today, and just remember they are all a shower of shites! and you aren't obviously. Glad Tom is doing well.

ILovePonyo film was good, wasn't expected that much but really enjoyed it, that of course could be because I haven't been able to sit and enjoy a film in peace for ages Grin

Have a confession to make, please don't shout, went to shops today without girls Shock and bought a few stocking fillers Blush.

OP posts:
ILovePonyo · 20/08/2011 16:29

Hello all, god dd has been a grumpy grump today, don't know whats up with her. We made the mistake of trying to have some lunch in town and she cried for most of it, oops sorry fellow diners. she's also been upset being pushed around in her buggy, she usually loves that Hmm

For all of you The Killing fans, I've seen its being repeated from the beginning tomo but its not the american version? Am looking forward to that!

jane I'll be honest I've only done wii zumba once Blush It was okaaaay - couldn't follow the steps that well but then again I'm like baby elephant clumsy-ing about. Why are you thinking of getting it?

wiggles love the shower of shites expression Grin Cannot believe you are planning so far ahead you're thinking of stocking fillers, I'm impressed!

hubbard good luck today, sounds like a mare to be honest, last thing you need. Glad T is ok :)

reastie v cute gingerbread man, I think colour looks fine fwiw.

chocoroo · 20/08/2011 17:42

Hello!

Have just tried to catch up post hols and I can hardly see let alone read I'm so tired!

Hols were lovely although not quite as much help having the GP's around as I'd hoped. DP really enjoyed having so much time with R so that made it worth it. Wedding was gorgeous too and I got to indulge!

R has come on loads this week - she's eating two full meals a day (still mainly purees and melty type finger foods) and has almost mastered crawling, well, backwards at least! Cannot believe how gorgeous they are at this age, I'm a proper proud mummy when she's singing away.

Anyway, that's all me me me but will promise to be less self centred now!

Hope all your weekends are well.
