eandh · 07/02/2008 19:30

eandh · 07/02/2008 19:38

yep the incognito one

ladytophamhatt · 07/02/2008 19:43

Oh yes....s'ok

Vs's post has kind of whizzed straight by my head...I think I'm being thick!

Lizzzombie · 07/02/2008 19:45

I have indeed seen the sticks which she wee'd on! Very exciting. Still think you should do test number 3 though - to make sure!

UD - ROFL at images of you in the soft play area with Z!
Mum UD - "Woah! this ball pool is awesome Z!"
Baby UD - "muuuuum, you're embarrassing me!"

Tbh though, I do love a good ball pool, and can often be found putting the world to rights in my local one, scaring off the bigger children! DJ dived head 1st into it on Monday. Just his little legs sticking out the top, was very funny!

Bunny - I didn't realise you were ttc too! How exciting!
I think we are a very fertile thread indeed.

eandh · 07/02/2008 19:47

Oh I hate soft play - actually I loved it till 2 months ago especially as Ellie had got to the age where she'd run off with her mates (come back if need wee/drink/food) Hattie would sit/sleep in her pushchair and us Mums would sit and gossip with cup of tea.

However, now Hattie is moving she wants to go and play and that means I have to go with her and miss the gossip/tea (unless we go to the one with the nice caged area for under 2's )

Lizzzombie · 07/02/2008 19:48

ps - EAH - nice photo on your profile! How flipping glam do you look!?! (...am off to put some lippy on or something!)

ladytophamhatt · 07/02/2008 19:49

lizz, look at the photos on the other thread.

i have done 3.

Lizzzombie · 07/02/2008 20:05

What did the lines 'say' on the 3rd test? I can't see!

eandh · 07/02/2008 20:06

Oooo thanks Lizz do you mean the one of me and the girls (that was a very cold windy day last sunday and I had missed buttoning one of my coat buttons up )or the black and white one of me and ellie (that was a professional photo so had put my slap on!)

I feel all now (although one of the mums at preschool finds it amusing that I always have my make up on and hair straightened - I did inform her its because Hatte is back to waking at 5.39 on the dot so I have hours to get ready in the morning!!)

eandh · 07/02/2008 20:09

lizz - love the pic of dj in the flowerpot!! (blimmin rotate your photos before loading I had to turn the laptop round to look!!)

Lizzzombie · 07/02/2008 20:13

Just the normal profile one, at a zoo? (from last week) its a lovely photo. - you could always cut and paste another button on to the photo!

I should really update my photos.

You know PCF lost all those lbs last week, and is doing really well on the WW plan....

I've just been really gross and eaten 3 donuts. yes, three.

Its LTH's fault. She made me buy them.
Ok, I admit it, its not her fault. I am a binger. I also had a trifle for pudding....a low fat one. And now I am watching Men in Trees, sponsored by Baileys, and I want one of those too.
Darn this neverending period. Ugh! I have PMT coming out of my toenails!

ladytophamhatt · 07/02/2008 20:16

lizz, morrisons doughnuts are the BEST, it impossible to eat just one. At least yours are apple ones...that must count towatds you 5per day.

You shoudo try the custard one. I challenge anyone to eat just one. I've been known to eat the whole pack of 5.

dh and ellie love morrison custard donughts and morrisons cinema style popcorm mmmm I ma peckish

MissCreant · 07/02/2008 20:23

I hate soft play too, they are the design of the devil.

LTH - fingers crossed for you!

Doughnuts, its been years since I've eaten one I think. I've just eaten a very nice chocolate muffin though, and half a blueberry one meant for ds1's lunch.

Lizzzombie · 07/02/2008 20:34

LTH - Where would you fit 5 donuts?! You are tiny! I reckon you must have really fat toes or something!

MrsC - Personally, I think if we (well, I) am going to "sport" a muffin top, then I may as well feed it!

New photos on profile..including one of me!!!! (not sure how long I will keep it up there!) Its a really good side profile, with fat being hid by bicycle one!!

eandh · 07/02/2008 20:44

doesnt dj look happy - we bought one of those seats ellie screamed the entire time she was in it (think she was 18months) and now its in the shed!

Actually quick question for those with older children how the friggin hell do you teach them to ride a bike, ellie can ride a trike with pedals on front wheel, we got her proper bike for her birthday but she cannot peddle the whole way round does half of a circle then moves her feet backwards, i cant get her to understand if she pushed her feet/pedal the whole way round she'd move

Helloooooooo!!!!!

I am in the new house, finally back on broadband and more importantly back on MN!

The last week in the old house I was poorly and broke our wireless connection, all the wired stuff was packed and then when we got to the new house it has taken until yesterday to get broadband. We have had dial up but its soooo slow and has been a nightmare for me working from home so had had quite enough of the laptops and internet by the time I'd finished work.

Anyway......

Ellen has taken her first steps this week. I missed them cos I was working away overnight but she has shown me since I got home. She seems so grown up now ! (Wilkie I dressed her in a skirt and blouse today - does that make her old???)Perhaps I'd better get her some shoes now.

Is LTH pregnant then ? I can't work it out from the posts.

Went for my 20 week scan tonight and it seemed ok but the babys bowel looked 'brighter' than it should so i have to go back to clinic tomorrow. Hoping all is well. They said it might just be cos I had bled in early pregnancy.

Am loving our new house but we are in a complete mess and have tons to do, no wardrobes or anything, poor E only has her cot and the green bin is full of non-green stuff that stinks (a DH job to clean it) and there are heaps of cig butts outside the front door (I have volunteered to pick those up)

DH - hope the sickness is waning a bit

Reggiee · 07/02/2008 20:59

VINOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am such a shit friend..........hope you had a great three-zero !!!!!!

Dragonhart · 07/02/2008 21:00

All this talk of doughnuts is making me hungry! The only way I stave off the morning sickness is to eat all day so soon I will be the size of a house! DH says I am blaming it on being preg but am actually just a trougher! I have been paying him back for comments like that by making him get up to Ruth while she is teething at night as I need my sleep/feel sick

Are we crossing our fingers then for another bfp? You are so impatient!

Vino- Hope you are ok xxx Any news from her Rgee?

eandh · 07/02/2008 21:02

vino so glad to see you. House sounds good (hope you get it sorted the way you want it soon) and it seems its the week for walking! Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Lth may be pg we're waiting for another test result although the picture one looks positive to me

I have just been looking at photos from a year ago, oh my god e and h look so tiny

Dragonhart · 07/02/2008 21:02

You must have both sent me 'messages' then! Hope all is well and congratulations on the house!
