OMG - i can't believe this time last year i was the size of a London bus and twice as grumpy as the driver.

now i'm the size of some sort of cruise liner and grumpy as...as...something really, really grumpy (UD fails to think of anything grumpier than a London bus driver)

i'm so very sick of being fat. maybe if i chop off my arm or something, i'll lose weight then, won't i?

Morning

Eddas name isnt Louise, but Louise is my neighbour who used to be on msn quite a bit, she has 4 sisters and her and 2 of her sisters have 2 dds each and finally one of her sisters has produced a boy its a bit of an event for them

Had a good night both in bed by 6pm (hence the fact they are now both up) but Ellie seems to be having nightmares as shes screaming and her eyes are open but shes not awake just screams she needs me and dont leave her, am hoping its a phase.

Wilkie glad you like the hat rather a bargain at 20p!!!

Ud hope you and MrUD have sorted it now

Lizz - curtains are made for dolls house and on little curtain poles ready for my Dad to fix into the house

2happy my dad is hoping to pop in tomorrow to look at connectors on buggy for the buggy board

This time last year I was huge and kept passing out (hattie was laying on a nerve and my blood pressure was all over the place) I look back at the photos of last christmas and my face looks as chubby now as it did then

Have got nephew this morning taking all 3 of them to photographers in an attempt to get a pic of all 3 of them together, want to get it ut on canvas for a house warming present for my brother and gf as they'll be moving in January

[eandh]

oh I forgot Ellie has been goven her preschool nativity part he is an ....................

angel

miscast I think as she is nowhere near asn angel, I told preschool manager that it was a shame she wasnt the donkey as had found a fab dressing up outfit ellie very very happy but very specific her dress must have wings, wand and halo having looked at cost of materil etc its cheaper to go to tesco and buy a ready done outfit for £8 eddas dd is the innkeeper but we are not sure what an innkeeper wears

[walkinginaWILKIEwonderland]

EAH - mothercare have a fabulous nativity costume selection. I have bought one of the DTs the angel version. Check it out online or in the back of the catalogue. Around £10 per costume which I think is bagainous!

I have a 20% email voucher for Oasis for Thurs-Sun this week if anyone want me to email them a copy? I am going to buy jeans!! (EAH - the skinny jeans I had to take back from our shopping trip)

Great night - little man slept through from 6-6. Perfect.

Got tonnes to do today including buying my SS pressie. Has everyone got addresses now??

[walkinginaWILKIEwonderland]

And can I request we get some seasonal names going on please girls!!!!!!!!!!!

[eandh]

oooo wilkie they are half price at the mo £6.49 but I cant find a free delivery code o will ave to pop into town and see if they have any -

Lizz - do you know any free mothercare delivery codes {wink]

glad you like the hat!

[Lizzzombie]

Must have been something in the air last night. DJ slept from 6.30-6.30 ! (small blip at 11pm) but this was a first! Fingers crossed is happens again.

[Lizzzombie]

ooh - sorry, nothing yet...bloody discount doesnt kick in till 12 weeks. Very annoying. Have you looked on ww.hotdeals.com.uk ?

[walkinginaWILKIEwonderland]

EAH - am off into town today. Do you want me to look for you and BALLS that they are half price - have already bought them!

[eandh]

Thanks wilkie I am going into town as well so will look in ours (it is out of stock online will eb availble in 4 weeks helpful!)

Will pop to tesco in a mo as well as if they have them I'll pick it up and then can take one of them back (am assuming mothercare would have sold out as all nativity stuff is half price)

Woo hoo on the sleeping Lizz

[walkinginaWILKIEwonderland]

[eandh]

posted on last thread at first

Well, Jesus kept getting out of the manger last night, I am so tired. He was awake last night between 2 and 4am. Groan. I think there is a one more setting on the cot so we don't have get one with a lid just yet.

[Lizzzombie]

um, er, I am not sure what to do with myself.

Dropped DJ off at nursery at 9am. Popped into town. Did loads of xmas shopping. Realised I'd left keys in buggy (div) went back to nursery, (11.30am) nursery lady said he'd been asleep since 9.40am (!!!!) so came home with shopping. House is relatively tidy and clean, 2nd load in the washing machine.

...I guess its xmas present wrapping time.

This is weird.
My house is all quiet.

I am a bit bored!

[theUrbanDryad]

MrsC - Z keeps climbing out of his cot too...we just gave up last night and let him have the king size bed and we went into the spare room which has a double. so i think his cot might be too small for him...grr.

i dyed my hair this morning ready for the Xmas do on Saturday, dh and i have reached a compromise: i'm going to get the train into london then a kind MNer is going to drop me off in Dorking so i can walk the rest of the way back to IL's house (is only a couple of miles and the fresh air may do me good!!). just got to find something to wear now. think dh has been paid, so i may pop into town and buy some new shoes...

[MrsCarrot]

doesn't he just climb off the bed though? F turns himself round and slides very neatly off landing on his feet and says, ba, then looks very pleased with himself and goes to find the loo brush.

[laughalot]

Happy birthday to me happy birthday to me happy birthday dear me happy birthday to me xxxxx

[theUrbanDryad]

happy birthday LaL!! are you 21 again?? hope you have a lovely day. xx

MrsC - we sleep on a mattress on the floor, so even if he does climb off he doesn't hurt himself. he's obsessed with brushes too!

[MrsCarrot]

Happy birthday, LL!

How, funny, UD, F loves brushes too, in fact, I was thinking of getting him a mini broom so he can 'sweep' with me.

Hello Ladies,
Is there room for a very late girl in the class? I've only just cottoned on to the fact that there is a post-natal gang for Jan 07 . Must be my numbskull brain which doesn't seem to work all that well these days even though I only went back to work mid-September!

I won't ask all the QQ you must have been through already but will sit quietly in the corner and join in occasionally if that's ok.

[eandh]

hello love2dance welcome - so do you have a boy/girl names weight birth story etc etc

We are a friendly bunch huuuge antentael group but steady group of us over here on postnatel have a flick through the last thread to get an idea of the funny/rude/offensive/helful ones

My mum picked up the last angel outfit in mothercare today, Ellie tried it on at her house and loves it so have taken a pic and put it on profile comments welcome (new one of hattie as well looking very very cheeky)

Had a manic day with ellie and hattie and had nephew, did food shopping and went to town with them all they sort of behaved at photographers am going back on friday in my lunch hour to look at pictures.

Then I bravely took them all to little cafe for lunch but they all behaved immaculately (thankfully) visited my Mum this afternoon and she kept nephew from 3.30pm so me and girls came home and my brother picked nephew up at 5pm so am knackered now. Think fish and chips for tea and then do my ironing and go to bed (so if you see me on here kick me off)

[theUrbanDryad]

Love2dance - i seem to remember you from the AN group, am i right? you were a bit of a raver IIR (if i'm way off the mark, just ignore me!!) welcome, anyway!

[RGee]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LaL! You doing anything special?

hola L2D!

STILL ILL........(for all you oldies, I'm feeling as miserable as Morrissey at the minute too)

DH was at home with lo today, my turn again tomorrow. Poor thing. At least when I got home tonight, I got a HUGE smile, so maybe she's on the mend (wishful thinking).

[theUrbanDryad]

RGee - does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body? i dunno.....
