August 2015. It's all about food consumption and late nights at Bar Mugabe Nights

[Dozygirl]

New thread for us fast talkers

Mzzf the weather has been wild like this all week just like Scotland. It's howling out ther . Glad u made it to the wedding but what a rip off for the room. I'd be moaning about that forever haha.

Aww joskar it's horrible when u feel like that about yoursel . I feel pretty similar. Stuffed myself with chocolate and sweets last night even though I promised myself I'd be good this weekend. Mad at myself now. Hate my hair as well. Just doesn't seem to look or feel right no matter what I do. I just don't feel attractive anymore. Hope the break away makes u feel refreshed and breaks up the monotony of every day life. Xxx

Fanby sorry you're struggling with the nights. Sending u hugs. I doubt my dp would be great at settling her during the night if she was strugglin . It's usually my job because it happens on a week day. I don't know what to suggest to help her settle. Piper sleeps in her crib but if she won't settle I'll bring into the bed instead.

Mugabe all!

I know the bar is closing up for the night and the dj is sweeping the floors (he is a hard worker) but I thought I'd pop in for one.

Celeste finally slept the night again! Down late at 10ish (bed is 8 but she was wide awake) and slept until 6.30! First time in a few weeks she's done this. Am naively hoping we are on a return to form at nights now. Sending you cuddles and cocktails, Fanby! Hopefully you'll get your nights back soon.

Dozy, had a really bad forgetful moment last night. Was coming up to bed. Had BF pillow, water but couldn't find my phone. Then took the phone that was in my hand and used the light of the screen to search for my phone! DH comes in and asks me what I'm looking for and just stares at me before losing it!! He had to point out I was holding my phone before I realised why he was laughing

Morning we had a pretty crappy night. All ds2 bed bags are in the wash so he was just under a blanket that he kept kicking off and the crib is too small so he hit his hands a few times too. Dh has informed me the cot bed won't fit in our room so need to buy a cot now. Hopefully that and some snuggly bed bags will sort him out. I love how I have convinced myself throwing money at a problem will solve it. It rarely does but hey hoe

In othe news ds2 just rolled over. He was on his tummy and ds1 roared at him. I think he was a bit shocked and the force gave him the momentum

Joskar I know exactly how you feel. My boobs are huge and the bras I have just make me look fumpy. I have a wobbly tummy and my clothes don't fit but I don't have the money or inclination to buy new ones in this size. I just need to lose some weight but I am really struggling. It's a never ending cycle of feeling a bit blurrrgh. Then eating something rubbish to make me feel better.

Dosy you are not a bad mum at all. Sounds very sensible. My mum takes ds1 a couple of days a week and it's lovely.

I know exactly what you mean about forgetfulness. I forgot how to drive with ds1. Well I could drive but kept making mistakes. This time I forgot what the weather forcast was called and referred to it as the advert for the weather! Looking for your phone with your phone is hilarious

Have a good Sunday.

It's a wet and wild Sunday morning here

DD has been waking up several times during the night lately - just wants booby which I give her to keep her quiet and not disturb the rest of the household but really need to stop offering booby and get her back to sleep without a feed. She self settles in the day with her thumb no bother but prefers a booby at night!!

grok gorgeous pic and love the name - very jealous about her sleeping through!!!

Lol at poogling - DH and DD1 do this all the time - say it's the only place they get peace - delighted to have a name for it!!!

mzzzf glad you enjoyed the wedding. I get really annoyed at people always wanting to touch DD - I was in Sainsbos yesterday and the woman behind me in the queue asked if I minded if her little girl (about 6yrs?) could see the baby - next thing her whole head is in the pram and she is holding DDs hand - need to get a sign on pram saying DO NOT TOUCH.
Have a monster breakfast this morning - I could murder a big fry up - you go girl!!!!

Off to watch DS in a swimming gala for rest of day. Have to take baby as she needs fed but it's a nightmare as pool unbelievably hot and last thing you want to do is hold a hot little baby - last time she was literally slipping off my boob as so sweating - gross

Enjoy the rest of the weekend........

Dozy I am off christmas shopping with the girls today and can't wait for a few baby free hours. We all need to time recharge. Not bad mum at all.

Fanby I feel your pain. DS has started sleeping v badly again to and I had to lose it with (D)H the other morning. He really annoyed me as I asked him to get up and help settle DS. He tried for 2 minutes by laying his hand on him then rolled over. DS clearly still awake and grunting away. So I asked him to try rocking him and he stood there rocking doing a running commentary. Hello I have been up nearly all night. Can you shut up so I can at least get an hour before you have to go to work. Anyway I went mental and I think it worked. Sat morning I fed DS and he wouldn't settle so DH jumped up and said he'd take him to the living room so I could sleep. Frustrating I need to spell this all out though.

Yesterday we went to a christening. DH is Godfather. Is it terrible that even though am not religious at all I enjoyed the praying as meant I could close my very tired eyes???

Jokstar I know how you feel. My boobs look massive in everything. I don't have that many nursing tops so just wear the same ones on loop that all end up covered in sick. My hair looks shit and really thin and I am eating really badly so my skin is horrible. Not to mention the endless eye bags. Also am crap at putting make up on so can't even cover them up.

Mzzzf I love a hotel breakfast. Do not leave until you know you've eaten £150 worth of breakfast goodies.

fanby hope you've had some sleep. My dh never gets involved at night either, but when I've had a bad night I make it clear to him in the morning and he does most of the housework then, takes older dd out so I can have some rest in front of the TV with baby etc. hope tonight goes better for you!

Joskar I'm the same with health visitors, I've never found their advice helpful and never bother with them. I took baby to be weighed at 14 weeks for the first time (because I was nosy as to whether she is bigger or smaller than dd1) but won't bother again as it was chaos at the drop in centre.

Last week I was mistaken for dds grandmother even though I'm only mid thirties. I didn't think I looked that much older than my age. It's strange too as most of the mums in my area are older, often in their 40s, there's a very low teen pregnancy rate and the woman who thought I was a gran works in childcare so I must look really old for my years oh well at least I can only improve

Happy Sunday!

Oh I'm so sleepy and emotional today. It's my period. Ugh. I'm fat and frumpy and generally feel crap. I hate crying. Makes me feel weak, but I'm blubbing today because I want a hot chocolate and I can't be arsed making one! What the fuck is wrong with me?!

Going to make bisquits with the DC later. But first I've got to sort through the clothes and do some ironing. And then I've got to wash the pots, put them away, put the clothes away, put DS1s uniform out, sweep and mop the kitchen and living room, couches need pulling out so I can retrieve the cars and crayons that are under them, I need to dust and de-clutter the sides move it all into a drawer so its hidden , do some homework with DS1 and I've got to do this while amusing a 7 yo, a 23 month old, a 15 week old and feeding them. I would rather be in bed....

oh no! The lurgy has arrived chez frolic. I have a sore throat and Ds is a snot bag. Yuck!
We had a super busy day yesterday with a 1st birthday party and visits to friends. Ds was on super form, smiling and laughing. He's still on pretty good form this morning, but is sneezing and spluttering all over the place.

Yes to poogling!!

giraffes, Ds and I sleep together and dh and the dog have moved into the spare room. I find dh much more useful if he's had a decent nights sleep. He usually joins us on weekends, but that all depends on Ds settling in his crib. We tried last night, but he wasn't having it. As soon as dh left and I put Ds next to me he dropped off for 7 hours!
at someone thinking you were granny! I hope you hit them very hard?

We've barely seen a hv tindel. She came over once when he was about 10 days. Then we've seen a hca twice for weighing and the gp once at the 8 week check / injections.

Celest is delightful grok! Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Well done her on the good sleep.

Yay for rolling baby clstow! It must be the massage class because Ds did the same on Wednesday. He hasn't even looked like he's trying since!

fanby, sorry you had such a crap night. Will your basinette fit in the cot as a sort of transitional point?
Dh is off work all of this week now. It will be interesting to see if I feel like kissing or killing him by Friday.

Glad you had a good time at the wedding mzzf. I hope you smashed that hotel brekkie.

I don't think that having a break while your dd is safe and happy with your mum makes you anything but sensible dozy.
I am ALWAYS forgetting stuff these days!

I hear you on the relentlessness and frumpiness jockstar and everyone else. I'm also stuck in a look fat - feel bad - eat bad food cycle. I'm trying not to be hard on myself and Promising I'll do something about it come January. for you all.

Super cute little one there loves! You conjure up a beautiful picture of sweaty boobs! Good luck to Ds in the gala.

Well done baby everything on the rolling over.

Don't forget some chill time in the middle of all those jobs fatty.

Happy Sunday everyone. It's horrible weather here again today. We are still in our pj's, hanging out in bed

Hi Mugabeans,

We have popped to the in laws for a couple of days as DH on leave. As mil has missed the kids DH and I have been out for lunch and shopping all afternoon just the 2 of us. DS has happily taken a bottle from mil although I left way too much expressed milk as didn't want him to go hungry. I also had to pump in the car after lunch! Dozy, I have missed the kids but loved the peace and quiet too. Not a bad mum at all.

Slow, my DH went to the match yesterday too and I stupidly agreed to pick him up so we could go straight to the in laws from there. The traffic was horrendous and took us an hour to get onto the road from just by Next. Sorry your baby is destined to be a Saints fan. Poor thing .

We haven't seen a HV since mid-Sept and I haven't had DS weighed for weeks! He's growing well though and alert, gurgling and giggling so I'm not concerned. Has just discovered his hands are his and is properly fascinated by hitting the toys on his baby gym. No rolling yet but my DD never rolled.

Fanby, am so jealous of your hot tub fun and Molly is just beautiful! Sorry you aren't getting much sleep now though. My DH can be like yours at night or when it is his turn to get up. I squirt him with milk as punishment while he sleeps!

I can't remember who said about baby being cold but mine is too and has gone back to waking twice at night freezing despite lots of layers. He then settles on me (loved the eels analogy - so true!) but is less keen on going back into his crib. Not cosy enough I guess.

Mzzzf, glad you went to the wedding even if the hotel is overpriced! Love the Lakes.

Joskar, Fatty, Giraffes and Kbro, I hear you and could have written your posts. Feeling really frumpy and low of energy too. I just want to lose weight, have time for make up and do my hair for once. I had to pack everything for this weekend with no help and juggling the children plus trying to find decent clothes to pack while feeling blurgh is no fun.

Frolic, hope the lurgy clears up soon. If it's not the dog eh?!

Hope everyone gets better sleep tonight. I only managed 2 hours without ds on my chest last night so def need sleep...zzzz

We also have the lurgy here. DD had it last week and is now just snotty and coughing which makes her clingier again and has made her latch less good - chewing. Also not feeding that much - my own lurgy not helping with that.

On the plus side DH got to deal with the mega poo after 16 hours of not - usually does 4-5/day at least with one or two likely to go up her back so was a little nervous to say the least. Caught it in time - phew.

Finally (3 days later) managed to finish organising the food cupboards. Just got the crockery and pots and pans to organise and the kitchen will be there! Also pruning my wardrobe of all the stuff that is neither comfortable nor something I enjoy wearing... need to make space for the baby related clutter!

We are home!!! So good to be back. DS is on the mend, although will have a rotten cough for several weeks. We' ve got a track record for producing sickly offspring. My DD had a virus which gave her a temp at 3wo, and had to have a lumbar puncture too.

Hopefully I can start catching up with everyone's news again.

Ooh, did discover that DS likes a muslin on his head to get off to sleep. Going to try that for naps now.

rrra glad you're home now, it must be such a relief.

God I was in a foul mood last night, sorry about that!! Even though DH was 'exhausted' he still managed to go and play football today as that's the one thing he gets to do for himself let's not forget your trip to the barbers for a haircut and shave which then led you to the pub on Friday.....

Fingers crossed for a better night for everyone!!! Have only scan read but glad you're home rra xxxxx

My snotty Ds is being a little trouper, bless him. He's a bit clingy and having to breathe through his mouth, but is still managing to be quite jolly and is raising plenty of smiles. I'm not sure what the night will bring, but hey ho. I hope the cold doesn't last too long as we are away for a few nights on Wednesday.

So glad Ds is on the mend and you are home rrra. You must be so pleased. Enjoy your own bed.

I hope you have a better night tonight nolonger.

I hope the lurgy leaves your house asap random.

Try not to kill him fanby

I hope that Mugabe nights won't be too busy tonight. I'm going to dive into a toffee crisp to give me the energy to get us both upstairs and to bed!

Thanks everyone for the traffic related sympathy. It took us 2 hours and 45 minutes to get home in the end. The journey was a mere 38 miles. Humpf.

Glad to hear that you are home again rrra, that is good news.

fatty did you manage to get all your jobs done? In particular the biscuit making (obvs the most important of all). I hope that you are feeling better in yourself this evening, FWIW I think you are pretty amazing handling 3 DCs by yourself and still finding time to do lovely things with them like baking. You sound like a brilliant Mum.

frolic, randoms and any other lurgy sufferers have a snotty tissue on me! I think we are coming through it now - although DH kept me up last night with his feverish tossing and turning. The dwarfs seem to be recovering though and thats the main thing. I am slightly alarmed that I haven't had it yet. I hope its not brewing up for a particularly nasty dose.

kbro, joskar, dozy I hear you on the frumpy front. This is a particularly low point I feel. The rapid weight loss of the first few weeks has definitely stagnated now and I find it hard to lose weight when bf'ing (apparently some women actually store excess weight when bf'ing to maintain supply. I appear to be one of those women ). I am also sick of my small revolving wardrobe of nursing friendly wear. Boo hiss.

grok I was wondering around looking for the dosing ball for the washing powder the other day when I found it IN MY OWN HAND. ARGH!

love what a cutie! Grumpy 2 has just found her thumb and I am a very proud Mummy. We are in the weird place of encouraging one DD to find her thumb whilst helping the other to stop sucking hers. Ah, I love the total hypocrisy required to be a parent .

fanby hope tonight is the night the sleep returns to your house. I cant remember who suggested it but the bassinet in the cot trick worked for us with both dwarfs so maybe give it a go? Even if it doesn't I'm sure she'll get used to the cot in a surprisingly short time if you manage to stick with it. Its so tough having sleep and then losing it though, I don't blame you for wanting to lamp your DH!

And to all those with unhelpful DHs just remember you can always get your own back come Fathers Day - the novelty sock and tie sets are there for the purchasing

nolonger the traffic was abysmal wasn't it! You can't have been that far from us, we were stuck outside Next for over an hour. I went in and got a coffee from the Costa, when I came back outside DH and the dwarfs hadn't moved an inch. If you saw a shagged out blue and orange camper van, that was us! Was worth every minute of it for the match though, it was a good result. We can't be anything but Saints fans, its where my Dad is from so we were always destined for the Red Vee. Can't complain though, they've not been a bad team to support over my lifetime .

Anyway this is a monster post as I don't seem to get much time to post during the day at the moment. Grumpy 2 is not being as obliging on the daytime napping front anymore . Night night all, see you at Mugabes later

Nolonger- it was me that had DS waking due to the cold he was much better last night with an extra blanket and the vents on the window shut but I was paranoid he would over heat! I've always aired on the side of too cold due to all the SIDS stuff.

Joskar, Fatty, Giraffes, Kbro and no longer add me to the fed up feeling a bit miserable and trapped in the tedium of life at the mo! My hair is coming out on literal handfuls although thankfully went so ridiculously thick in pregnancy that I can afford for this to happen but it's driving me crazy there is hair EVERYWHERE I'm finding it in DS's mouth his hands, his nappies not to mention its on me all the time and I keep flinching thinking its a bug or spider or something!! Plus my hair went mega curly during pregnancy which I actually liked as it was so easy to manage and stayed that way for a couple of months after which helped as I could just leave it to dry naturally and it looked nice but now half my head has gone back quite straight and the other half is still crazy curls so I can't win I look shit no matter what I do with it as one half is always doing the opposite of what I want!! Whoever said about having a rare chance to moisturise I also managed that on Thursday after my run whilst DH bathed DS and it was heavenly! I miss moisturising!!

I had the day from hell yesterday, I tried to fit too much in so was rushing like a crazy person everywhere and had barely any sleep the night before plus my lounge blinds broke as I was going out there house and I now can't roll them back up- only had them a couple of months and already had the company back 3 times, needless to say we won't be using the same company for the rest of the blinds we need yet! Then when I got back from my friends after driving in the torrential rain and at one point a tidal wave from the car in the lane next to me blinding me on the motorway I got in to find one of the dogs had broken out of his crate!! They have been crate trained for 7 years and have always loved them as their safe places but he had managed to pull the door onwards and rip bits of metal off it and get out!!! Thankfully he hasn't got a single scratch on him somehow but now we are stuck with the dilemma of what to do with them when we are out/ overnight as he did it again whilst we were out today and this time it is unusable!! Then DS screamed for an hour none stop! I was on the ceiling by the time DH got home and although he did bath and had DS for a bit so I could have a cuppa and breathe he later snapped at me and said 'all you've done is moan since I got in' yeh cheers just what I needed!!

Saw pictures of our old house on Zoopla before (we were nosying at how much it sold on for) and felt really sad- when I look at the pics I feel sad and miss it even though it was getting to the point it desperately needed work which is why we moved but I just felt like the feeling I got looking at them was a happy life I missed too because at the minute although I love being a mummy and love DS to absolute pieces I feel like I can't remember the last time I didn't feel tired or stressed or anxious or worried about one thing or another (being frumpy, flabby, the damn dogs, DS, money, mat leave going so quickly- the list is endless!!) and that life was so much simpler in that house. sorry for the me me me post I just needed to get it off my chest and if I try to tell DH I will cry and he will think I've lost the plot!! (Maybe I have!)

Rra- soooooooo so so glad you are back from hospital hope your having a nice relaxing evening and plenty cuddles.

Sorry I've not replied to everyone and for the rambling my heads a little mashed! I blame the lack of goodies this week!!

Evening all,

rraaa so glad you're home! Fingers crossed for an uneventful time now.

Fanby good luck for tonight, hope your dh will be helpful!

For those of you expressing, how much are you leaving for a feed and over what period are you expressing so as to avoid getting engorged? I have a pump and some bottles but haven't got round to using it yet, I'd like to take older dd swimming and also get my haircut.

I'm definitely feeling fat and frumpy too, unfortunately food is a pleasure when most of the day is spent relentlessly caring for toddlers and babies...I've switched from chocolate to flavoured popcorn though which seems to be more waist friendly. I've also booked my Waitrose Christmas delivery slot which has made me happy as now I can plan all the delicious meals for the Christmas period

I'm getting my outfit ready for Sunday night at Mugabes, it's gonna be a big one!!

Did I buggery get all my jobs done! I managed about half. We did bake biscuits though, and decorated them as minions and "let it go"
I sat down for a break which ended up with me playing Minecraft on the Xbox while DS2 was snuggled on me. Then we watched the blacklist. I missed it Friday as I was in hospital with my friend.

Before I read the rest 'grok' I am literally howling with laughter. That is the funniest thing ever!!! I've done something similar but that tops everything. Heehee. U are a legend

Oh lily sending u hugs. In totally get where you're coming from. Some days everything just seems to overwhelming. Tomorrow will be a better day. I hate days like that though. Being an adult is bloody hard work sometimes. We got onto the topic of whether we should move house today. It stresses me out too. On one hand I want to move to a bigger house but on the other hand I love my house and it has potential for extensions so is it worth moving. But it is my house not dps house so if we moved we would be buying a joint house which will make things more equal between us. It's complicated selling and buying a house though and I'm not sure I'm ready for that added pressure right now. The house is good enough for the time being so there is no rush.

I took dd swimming on my own today because dp wanted to go surfing. I did really want him to hang out with us today but he needs the wind for his sport and it was perfect conditions so I couldn't begrudge him a chance to make use of the wind. He wanted to be with us too. Dd is still not too keen on being put under water. Anyone take theirs for lessons yet? Do they enjoye being dunked yet? I got a splash about snug for second hand on ebay which i trialled today and it definitely kept her warmer and she enjoyed being on her back this time because I think it helps her feel more secure floating due to the buoyancy of it. She used to cry on her back.

Had a lovely hour or so on my own this evening with just the cat. It was bliss. Dp wanted to go to bed early so he took dd up with him to give her her bottle and be put down for the night. She used to be happy to go straight in crib and fall asleep on her own but lately she is needing some encouragement. I could hear her crying for a bit but then it stopped so he did actually do a good job at settling her. When I came to join them asked how he managed it and he answered with patience haha. It's nice that it was him that settled her for once and had to use patience so he knows what it is like for me. Her head is almost touching the top of the cot but that is the only mistake he has made. I'm not going o move her in case I wake her though.

Oh slow that is some traffic jam.to be stuck in!! What a nightmare.

Kbro and fanby and anyone else suffering with sleep deprivation I hope things improve.

Rrra great news that u are home. What a relief.

Whoever said about squirt in milk at dp.....hilarious. I must try that although mine kinda dribble rather than squirt.

Frolic sorry u have the lurgy and to whoever else said they had it. Hope it passes quickly.

I really should be going to sleep seeing as everyone else in this house is asleep. I'll only regret it once dd wakes up hungry whenever that will be. I am lucky that 9times out of 10 she will sleep till at least 6am if not later. For now anyway.

Fatty I think half on that list is a pretty good achievement. It was a bloody long list.

Giraffes I'm not very good at expressing but morning tends to be the best. I try to leave it a bit after dd has fed and before she is due again but that doesn't leave me much time. I haven't ever gotten engorged though yet. Sorry, not reply very helpful. Sometimes I've managed to express off one boob while dd feeds off the other but that is quite tricky.

Well I've gotten to months with hardly any boob leakage to now seeming to have a lot more leakage moments especially if dd has left it awhile between feeds because she's had a nice sleep after swimming lol. Have woken up with a wet bed from my boobs and leaked in the pub because I picked dd up and gave her cuddle. Boobs reacted by exploding milk.

Night night mugabeans. Sleep tight.

Fellow Mugabeans the first round is on me. We all seem to be in a bit of a slump and need something to cheer us up!

Rra, so pleased you are home and DS is on the mend!

Frolic, I hope he sleeps ok tonight but give into those cuddles if that's what he needs.

Slow, we must have been so close to each other! I didn't spot you through the rain but did see an accident which wouldn't hace helped the queues. Our car is very run of the mill but you might have heard the toddler and baby crying as they were not happy. We had been in the car since 2.30 as I set off then from our home in south Manchester. Yes, Saints haven't been half bad I suppose but I say that begrudgingly.

Lily, I think we're going to get one of those oil filled heaters with a thermostat to keep the room at 20 overnight as I'm worried about too hot too but his little donnies were like ice so definitely too cold.

Also yy to the hair loss! Literally handfuls whenever I shower and they get entwined in DS's fingers too. I hate it but like you also have thick hair so it's not really noticeable to anyone else.

Sorry you are feeling nostalgic for your old life. I do know how you feel too as it is so far removed and amazing as they are life will never be the same again. I can't believe how quickly mat leave is going either! I looked forward to it so much and thought it would stretch ahead forever but it is zipping by. The thing I try and remember is that much as I miss my old life the one I have now is my grown up life and what I yearned for and so many others would give their right arm to have two beautiful children. Even if I'll never feel carefree or well rested ever again!!

Giraffes, I left nearly a litre of expressed breastmilk for 6 hours without DS today!! Think I overestimated a bit ha ha! He drank 300ml over that time. 100ml every couple of hours.

Right DS has gone back to sleep so I'm going to attempt to get him into the crib. Sending sleepy vibes!

Poor baby is cold. Have wrapped him in extra blankets but now he wants to play.
I keep reading mugabeans as mugger-beans in the voice of Colin the runner bean from Mr bloom! (Those with toddlers will know what I mean)
It's bloody windy out if its this bad here I hope you Scots have still got rooves!

drinks are on the bar if anyone is interested.

Oh and the looking for your phone with your phone. My brother once phonedy mum to tell her he had (this was a joke BTW) lost his phone and could she phone it. (Bearing in mind he was on his phone!) She believed him and told him to get off the phone, she would phone it then report back. She phones it, he answers and she told him it wasn't in the house as she didn't hear it ring
She didn't even have the excuse of a new baby.

Cheers all, have a shot on me!

fatty that's a funny phone story!

nolonger hope you're getting some sleep now, thanks for the tips on expressing.

I'm having a rubbish night, were away from home and sleeping on mattresses on the floor (baby has a cot mattress) but it's quite cold and baby has woken at 12, 2 and 4 so far. I'm in an armchair to feed but when I put her back on her mattress she keeps waking. Let's hope I don't have to stay in the chair until morning...

More drinks at the bar and some matchsticks to hold my eyes open...

Well unless mn isn't loading the bar hasn't been too busy which I'm pleased about! Go babies!
A lot better night here, she went down about 9:30, a feed at 2am and now at 4:40am - the soft blanket underneath has clearly worked, think that was you mzzzf for suggesting so buenos for you!! xxx

Frolic - hope he feels 100% better soon, he's obviously a trooper!

Oh slowwife you do make me laugh re: novelty socks!!!

Lily - a kingsize Bueno for you xxx

Giraffes - I too express in the morning, tend to do it just after a feed otherwise it's stop start stop start as little bean wants attention. I try and do about 120ml every day

Fatty - how is your friend doing? Well done on the biscuit making!

Dozy - ahh hope you had a lovely time swimming. We're hoping to go in January, waiting to hear whether we've got a place. Excellent news on DP settling, hope you enjoyed I'm a celeb, looking fwd to catching up with it tomorrow xx

Ahh a couple of more posts have loaded!

Love your mum fatty! Very cheeky of your brother

Giraffes - hope you've made it out of the chair xxxxx
