pesha AT CRAP DENTIST !!! You poor love . That sounds a nightmare. I've had loads of problems with my teeth since I was little, I came off my bike when I was 10 and knocked out my front tooth, but it was my adult one , but the thought of the dentist making it worse is awful! I now drive halfway across the country to go back to my home dentist for treatment I've just had so many probs, he's been my dentist all my life and knows my whole family. Would find swapping really hard. Anyway, lots of sympathy and hugs for you xxx

hello again! Have a lovely week Oooggs.. Pesha and for you re. dentist! Poor thing.

I agree with the fresh air thing, we had a bbq a few nights ago and I had N on the roof in his bouncer while my dad and I got the bbq going. He was totally out by 7.30pm which was unheard of for him. I think from now on, any night that he´s still awake at 7.30pm, up on the roof he´s going

Weighed myself at my mum´s and have lost 1.5kgs! I think in about 10 days though I can´t remember exactly when I last weighed myself. How fab?! Can´t see quite where from but hey, hardly the point...

Also stocked up on pampering stuff to keep up my weekly commandment to spoil myself, some Lóreal fake sun moisturiser type thing, face masks, eye cream (suddenly essential!) and a lovely cleanser. Can´t wait for the weekend to get on with it

weeonion · 16/08/2007 16:51

Katy44 · 16/08/2007 16:54

Hi weeonion, so sorry to hear you're homesick
How are you and caoimhe?

weeonion · 16/08/2007 17:02

grand. she is a real laugh and such a sweetie. went to bf group this morning and a bit hacked off that she has only put on 1lb in 4 weeks. she is a real muncher so was sure she had put on more - especially as she now has 3 chins and rolls of fat on her thighs ... like her mum!!!!

EllieK · 16/08/2007 17:04

CaptainDippy · 16/08/2007 18:37

Had a lovely trip into town with P - nice cuppa and Millionaire Slice () at my fave cafe - yum!

Ooooooh maveta - sounds lurverly!!

{{{{{{weeonion}}}}}} Hope the feelings of homesickness subside asap sweetie - must be tough. Poor hon.

Will read your link now Ellie, my sweet. xx

Sexonlegs · 16/08/2007 18:51

eeonion, I am so sorry to hear you are feeling homesick. It must be doubly hard to leave when you have C.

I hope you can soon get back in to the swing of things, keep yourself busy etc. and keep looking forward to the next trip.

Hi CD!!! Millionaire Shortbread - yummy indeed.

My mum thought she had packed some of that yesterday for the picnic we had at the races, and I thought I had seen it in the bag. Anyway, we couldn't find it, despite pulling out everything in the car. Mum then found the M&S receipt and it turned out she hadn't bought any in the first place!!!
It was very funny - you probably had to be there tho to get the full extent of how muppet like we were!!

Planning on going to Body Balance tonight !!

maveta · 16/08/2007 19:07

Sorry you´re feeling homesick Weeonion, it did sound like you had such a wonderful time with all your support out there. Dp must be so pleased to have you both back, don´t feel bad for him, he´s fine! He´s got you both! have you got a webcam set up to keep in touch? I know it´s not the same but it makes an amazing difference.. have you got skype? Sending you hugs xx

Ellie - have replied x

CD - mmmmm.. sounds yummy!

SOKL - sending you motivational vibes for getting to the body balance class!

CaptainDippy · 16/08/2007 19:43

All the best at Body Balance, SOL - my body is most definitely not balanced after that shortbread today!!

DD1 is currently screaming: "Go to sleep!!!!" at DD2 who is giggling and being a general PITA, bless her (DD1 that is!)

Goodness me!!

CaptainDippy · 16/08/2007 20:12

Just got back from Morrisons. There was an accident on the motorway so what normally take sme 10 minutes, took me 40 but I hate to complain about that as you never know if anyone was hurt.

Thought best to fo shopping tonight as have not found the weekly shop very joyful with 3 kids in tow. DS1 and DD gang up on me and egg each other on to sneak things in the trolley

Off camping Saturday morning so might not check in tomorrow as got to get everythig ready so if I don't 'see' you, have a good week everyone

Sexonlegs · 16/08/2007 22:02

Hi ladies

Hope all the babes are asleep.

Pesha, pmsl at "as long as they are not peeing on anything"!!

WCL, enjoy your camping.

Well, I went to Body Balance, and it was really good. A mix of Tai Chi, Pilates and Yoga for a whole hour! At the end there was 10 mins of relaxation, and I have to say I completely zoned out.

Nearly didn't make it, as dh was feeding K, and she was being an absolute nightmare for some reason - crying and messing around. So, I took over and fortunately she was fine. I think tbh she was just knackered as she hasn't slept much today at all.

Hope you are all well. Going to bed soon, so see you lovelies tomorrow. xx

Pesha · 16/08/2007 22:22

Tooth is crap and hurting more now, didnt go to dentist as I knew we had to go town this afternoon and didnt want to be walking around all numb! And wont go tomorrow as we have to go clarks village for school shoes, darent leave it any longer or the place will be a nightmare! But will def go dentist next week and until then will just keep taking pain killers and eating soft food!

But on plus side I got this phone on contract cos my old contract runs out next month and I LOVE it!! Nothing like having a new toy to cheer me up!

SOL - glad your body balance thingamybob went well. Really want to join you all in your exercise/diet plans but am too tied to my baby, too skint and my crappy bloke works stupid hours!! Plus I'm struggling just not to put on weight at the mo with bfing so will have to wait. Oh well will be winter soon and I can cover it all up!

Pesha · 16/08/2007 22:25

Typical the first night Im around and able to chat and you all bugger off

EllieK · 16/08/2007 22:27

i'm here now

weeonion · 16/08/2007 22:27

pesha - have you got clove oil at the ready for teh tooth?? dont envy you at clarks village for shoes. remember the foot measuring thing - as a child it was the most exciting thing!!!! obviously we led a sheltered life!
