Instead of marking place, please could those of us with older siblings post something (positive) they are looking forward to as our babies get older. I think it would cheer us up since so many are struggling at the moment.

Evening ladies Thanks to all who need them. Sorry to her some other halves didn't get you anything for mothers day, that makes me sad Sad

Had a nice day here, went for a family dinner this afternoon at a nice pub, stuffed now tho! Going to enjoy a cheeky Wine later hopefully if LO goes to sleep ok.

Happy birthday tits!

Lily glad to hear your friend got you some lovely roses and was there for you today x

Lily that sounds like a great plan, to be near support, and thank god for the insurance. glad to hear you're taken care of financially. And what a lovely friend.

kissy Shock at Ewan but have to admit the thought of a mental sheep is making me smile

S has been screaming her head off for what I thought was no reason since shed recently been fed but is now working her way through ozes 7, 8 and 9 - extra, that is - Shock rooty by name, rooty by nature
wonder if she'll be noticeably bigger in the morning Hmm

ValiumQueen · 10/03/2013 20:38

kissy new batteries for Ewan.

ValiumQueen · 10/03/2013 20:40

I was wondering where horsey is too. She was not feeling well.

kirrinIsland · 10/03/2013 20:41

pennie And rootypig those moves sound exciting. I always wish I'd lived abroad somewhere for a few years, just for the experience, but life got in the way!
And lily that sounds like a good plan. You need to take time to take care of yourself.

I was also wondering where horsey was? Must have had a busy weekend, or she's still doing the 32k ride?! I would be unable to move after doing that! I can imagine how sore I'm going to be when I finally get back in the saddle!

Just about to watch Skyfall and generally slob on the sofa. The only difference between this and any other night is Skyfall!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 10/03/2013 20:44

Didn't horse have a 32 km ride or somethinge yesterday?

Contradictionincarnate · 10/03/2013 20:47

my friend has just text and has gone into labour Smile exciting bringing back memories...had lots of wine today god bless mothering Sunday!

PetiteRaleuse · 10/03/2013 20:50

Even when I was riding regularly a 32k ride would have knackered me. Me and DH spent a few days of our honeymoon at a fab riding place in France. I hadn't ridden for a few years and was in serious pain by day three. Couldn't mount without a leg up. Day four I was in tears at the end of the day. Brilliant memories though.

YellowWellies · 10/03/2013 20:53

Now call me crude PR but a honeymoon where you're too tired and sore to get your leg over defies the point. Phnarr phnarr.... (boom tisch) Grin

rootypig · 10/03/2013 20:53

PR where do you get pain from horseriding, dare I ask?! Confused

rootypig · 10/03/2013 20:53

YW Grin Grin

PetiteRaleuse · 10/03/2013 21:03

:o it was only a few days of our trip :o

Pain from horse riding when you're not used to it pretty much everywhere. Calves, inner thighs, butt, lower back, middle back, neck and shoulders. Admittedly on this trip the terrain was quite tough.

ValiumQueen · 10/03/2013 21:05

On my honeymoon I looked like I had been riding a horse for 32K.

rootypig · 10/03/2013 21:06

PR that is pretty much everywhere except where I expected you to say Grin

oh I have just looked at FB pics and remembered I meant to post this for anyone using a Bumbo

Bumbo saftey

apols if you're all aware

rootypig · 10/03/2013 21:06

*safety!

rootypig · 10/03/2013 21:08

VQ Shock what did he look like?! actually don't tell me.....

ValiumQueen · 10/03/2013 21:11

Happy Grin

kissyfur · 10/03/2013 21:15

Lol VQ at 32k, and thanks - new batteries it is then, it did sound a bit mental rooty!

Oh meant to say we had dummy success today! Got some size 1 nuks and LO took it straight away Smile Seemed to calm her v well so am pleased, she did look a bit funny with one in tho! DD1 never had one so it's all new to me

PetiteRaleuse · 10/03/2013 21:16

There was chafing too. Ow. Jumped in the pool every evening then drank the pain away.

horseylady · 10/03/2013 21:32

Here, just been busy! Not really caught up either, sorry!!

Did my ride. I can still walk thank you!! Just need to get both me and the horse fitter!! It'll not take too much work. She's just great!! So lovely. It was great being out and competitive. Dh enjoyed looking ds which was good. Oh and I really need to lose some weight/tone up. I do not like my body ATM. Guess you can't do everything!!

Had an ok Mother's Day been out for dinner. Got a card and some half dead flowers.

TheDetective · 10/03/2013 21:32

Would it be okay to make DP sleep in the shed?!

I am so fucking cross. You can see the steam shooting out my ears.

He's a fucking idiot. Everyone makes mistakes. He just makes about 50 x more than your average person.

He has brains, but zero common sense, zero memory, and zero spacial awareness/observational skills.

Happy mothersfucking day to me. Angry

Passmethecrisps · 10/03/2013 21:40

detective maybe his brains squeezed out his common sense?
