Hi Ladies, it said we needed a new thread

Evening ladies!!

Its been a lovely day here, sun shining, nice and warm Its amaziing how a bit of decent weather can make you feel great.

Ive had a really good day today. Took E into Portsmouth on the train this morning. We bought a few bits for Dh's birthday next week then ventured into the Pompey shop, it was bloody manic in there. Queued up to buy J a flag for tomorrow, realised Meridian Tonight were in the shop filming right in front of me so there was a chance I was in the shot, hurried out of there (had no desire to be on tv) then my neighbour phones to ask me to buy a flag for her daughter. As I go back into the shop the meridian crew are leaving so I think i can relax only to discover on leaving the shop that they are now stood directly opposite the doorway interviewing a man and the camera is once again pointing in my direction Hopefully they missed me both times

Bought A a cute pair of jelly shoes from mothercare today, they are labelled as 'pre-walkers' so ideal for the stage she is at now. They are soft enough for her to crawl easily but sturdy enough for when shes walking outside. They only cost £3 so i dont mind if she ruins them. Will look into getting her a 'proper' pair of shoes in the next week or so. She walked into E's classroom today only holding onto one of my hands She was so steady on her feet, have a feeling she may be doing it on her own by the time the 2wks holiday are over. This evening she has been 'out to play' with the other children, she pushed her walker round the green twice, had a ride in a push-a-long car and walked around holding onto peoples hands so shes definately getting a lot of practice in lol. Think it wore her out as she is in her cot snoring her little head off

Im just about to try to download some pics from my phone, never tried it before so wish me luck. If im successful I can update my profile, if not im buggered lol

Oh and if I dont get on tomorrow HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY A!!!!!!

Thanks all for the B'day wishes , will hopefully be about at some point tomorrow

I am lurking around here at dp has used his allowance to go to the pub next door with some of the men from work and has come home feeling like the man of the house iykwim so I am in hiding, pretending to be busy, think its worked for now anyway lol

CAM I must say I havent felt this happy for ages, the country life has always suited me and Im glad to be back to it - Im afraid I aint no city chick, altho I do like shoes and handbags

MJB enjoy your hols, look forward to hearing all about it

Pebble did you get on tv lol, if i were still in reading i would have been able to see it

LGT glad you are feeling a bit better, I went to browse the lelli kelli's again today - have told W she has to wait till nearer summer, I want maximum usage from the sequins lol

I was also looking at the little prewalkers for A they are soooo cute, he is in bobux and similar at the mo but wondering if he needs something with a bit more underneath as the floors here are pretty hard (hardwood & lino) mostly to protect his little feet, me thinks he is only going to be a size 2 bless him they are sooo chubby

Cant believe this time last year I was strapped to monitors knowing the chances of me having my baby tomorrow were pretty high, have also been a bit emotional today, have kept it together but have kept thinking what if I hadnt had that scan on the tuesday, what if they had left it another week instead of celebrating tomorrow I could be grieving for loss of my 2nd son - also a bit of anger still at the lack of care that led to me losing Morgan, but I think mostly its relief that my little guy has made it this far and done so well and that my family has been through so much this year and finally we are all happy and settled and I am so lucky to be feeling like this

Right am of to browse ebay for an ergo baby carrier, I love my Kari Me but stopped a lady in the street today who was carrying a 2yr old in an ergo and got her to give me a demonstration -= looks great, have any of you used one??

Have just checked the meridian website and they didnt use the footage with me in the background, thank god and it looks as if they just missed me when they were intervieiwing the old man (they did a close up of his ticket as I walked past lol)

It is scary how quickly this past year has gone by. I think im even starting to feel a bit that Im not going through it again IYKWIM This time last year it was exciting all waiting for our LO's to arrive, this year seems dull in comparison This does not mean that Im planning on having another any time soon though.

Phew Pebble that was close then

A hasnt slept properly sice i went to bed at 11 he is teething again and was tossing and turning in my bed all night then dd got in so 4 in the bed is not good for a nice sleep, so after about 2 hours i gave up, me and dd have opened A's cards and one pressie - so much for going shopping early, he still hasnt had any baby food at all

Right am going to try some sleep wish me luck

Hello all.
Happy Birthday A - can't believe that little tiny baby in your eraly pictures is one already. Hope you all have a lovely day.
LG&T, glad to hear you are feeling a little stronger. You are an amazing woman with a beautiful family and I can't think of a better person to help P deal with the problems which will lie ahead for her. Of course you're going to feel down, you've had a terrible shock and it will take you a while to come to terms with it. Glad you indulged in a bit of retail therapy - it has amazing healing properties!!
Well I have finally finished a gruelling half term and now have 2 glorious weeks holiday! It doesn't look like the weather is going to be particularly glorious but at least we can do indoor things if it's not. I'm taking R to the baby clinic tomorrow to get her weighed for the first time since September - bad Mummy emoticon! I think I will worry less about her eating once I've had her weighed, she definitely doesn't seem underweight to me. Her thighs are well chubby, she'll probably turn out to be over-weight!!

Happy Birthday Arlen. Lups you should get his pressie this morning. I hope you all have a fab day. I remeber getting your text last year and thinking how scary/weird it must be to have a prem baby only for me to be joining you 5 days later (although obviously not nearly as early).

Got Ella her first pair of shoes on Monday. They're so cute. Just from Clarks but very pretty. She is a 3f. She is coming out with a lot more words now and is so funny. If i put her in the small rocking chair or on her lottie ladybird she rocks herself forward and back and laughs the whole time.

So MrsJb must be at the ferry port by now as her crossing was at mid day french time. Think she was setting off at 5am!

LG&T, now that you have mentioned those shoes i cant get the sodding tune out of my head. Am soo glad that you didnt need the AD's..

Pink, your little L is just such a poppet.

Hey Cam, JIMW, Abby, Pebble, Sky & Meggle

Happy Birthday A (gorgeous name btw ). Have a lovely day xxxx

We're off to my aunt's b'day party this pm (via a bookies to put a couple of quid on a donkey horse in the Grand National).

Hope everyone has good weekends/holidays etc.

Happy Birthday to A!!!

We've been busy with work and showing the house. The boys are great. Mateo is amazing. Cruz is just about the sweetest little thing in the world. I think they're tricking me into having another that will be the hardest baby ever.

Happy Birthday little big boy Arlen! One today, its amazing how fast it has gone by, quite an emotional one for you Lups. Have a fab day.

LG&T you are sounding like you again hurrah! I am very relieved you decided against the ADs,imo that's just not your scene. However shoes are . Isn't it great to have a girl and be able to do all that lovely shopping together? You started me off so I took dd to the shops and she bought a pair of beaded flip flops and the cutest hairband with her own pocket money (the first time she has ever had pocket money).

The chooks are all still alive (phew) but we had a really near death incident when the pup got one (according to dd it was Betty, they all look the same to me!!) shook her about, feathers everywhere, chook lying lifeless on the ground, cue totally sobbing dc, screaming mama, manic dog, (who got a hefty belt) the next minute I turned to take the chook and give her a decent burial and she wasn't there!!! She had been playacting the crafty devil and was just fine. Needless to say we didn't have many eggs the next day...

Forgot to say well done Ella Meadow on all that chitter chattering! J can definitely say dog and oof. I love it when they start to talk.

Pink - aaaaahhhh too cute. Don't you think she's looking a bit peaky though?

Beau says 'hello' but thats it, clearly he will not be the chattering variety, phew

I have just taken them all to see 'Spiderwick' very good, despite being a little scary. It meant i had 3 dc on my lap at one point ds#3 also decided he needed a wee 10 mins from the end

HAPPY BIRTHDAY little A!!! I cannot believe it was about this time last year you phoned me Lups, from your hospital bed having just had him! Bless his cotton socks

Cam glad the chook was ok, Betty may have bad name conotations, it was our Betty that the fox got. Glad she is ok. We are getting 5 eggs a day some days and Maggie (our cream legbar) lays 2 a day! Clever girl.

Helloooo everyone else.

Happy Birthday A!!!!!!!

Am now addicted to facebook.

Happy birthday Arlen XX

Glad you are feeling better LGT, always available for coffee and cake!

Lovely piccies Pink, she's gonna be trouble when she's older with those big brown eyes

So glad pompey won Pebble, think they will have to be G's team seeing as he was born there, afterall can't be having him support notts forest - his dad's team

G fed himself his jelly off his spoon earlier, we just loaded it up for him, very proud mummy

Thanks all, I think A had a good day even if mine was total crap , after being for too long last night with dc's I didnt get up till 9.30, which was when i had planned to be in plymouth by, got to plymouth at midday, dd was already doing my head in, went to primark - dp was moaning that i was dithering and that i had only gone in for 1 thing (spent £69 lol) anyway then he didnt offer to carry any or push the buggy so i tramped off in a strop, hands being shredded by bags and crying baby, both in moods on the way home - still hadnt got A anything - how crap do i feel, came home rang mum, we all went out for food which lightened the mood but the food was crap arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh am of for a hot bath and to read my book will catch up properly tomorrow,

Lups - sorry it was a crappy day - enjoy your book and bath ...

Good News : I won about £100 on the Grand National (got 1st and 3rd place and won the mn sweepstake)

Bad News: I'm a West Brom Albion fan and some pesky south coast team knocked us out of the FA cup

I love Facebook as well (but have been a bit slack lately). Anyone want to be my friend ?

SNOW SNOW SNOW EVERYTHINGS COVERED IN SNOW [grin[

Tilly well done on thr win, shame about the footie, havent been on facebook am staying away on purpose dont need something else taking over my life lol

Oh my god we have SNOW!

Wasnt there at 2am when Ella woke up vommiting but it was there when i woke up at 8.30! Dh informs me that it started at 7.10. Think we will go out in the garden when Ella goes down for her nap.

Sorry you had such a stressful day Lups.. Did my parcel arrive??

Tilly, i'll be your friend. If you email me at [email protected] then we can swap RL names

Tilly i'll be your friend too - once you are April's friend you will find me under her friends - don't quite now how as she has sooooooooo many. Will try and think of a way!

We had snow at Easter and have missed it today. DP and his dad are upstairs putting Cs cot together, yay, a cot for the baby and he is one soon!

Not quite sure what he is going to make of it!

I will be your friend too Tilly, April will share my name with you

We have snow too, all been out palying in it! Have some pics will add to my profile later.

April is Ella sick again? Flippin eck, poor girl.

Lups the new shopping center in Plymouth is fab! I sit in the Starbucks and watch the world go by I will be down in the summer so we can all meet up. I have a few multiple friends too in Devon so we may have a mass meet in Exeter

Oh bugger the boy is awake. He was up screaming until 12 last night Blimmin baby.

She is fine, i just think she disagreed with her tea! Not nice to deal with at 2am! Full of beans this morning though.

Most of my facebook friends are old school mates. The rest are my lovely MN friends and nursery parents or family. I know everyone on my profile.... i think.

Jack just gone out in the garden and is having a great time jsut walking round and round in circles in the snow. It is fast melting so he better make the most of it

Make some crispy cakes yesterday with a whole load of his easter eggs in a bid to get the chocolate out of the house. I have been snacking on it far too much recently. Did get a pleasant suprise when i got on the scales this am to find that i am now the same weight i was was when i fell pg with J. Only taken 3 years mind But as several of you mentioned on the previous thread the weight distribution isnt even now and just tends to sit on my belly!!

Will someone be my facebook friend? I'm on it but I never have any messages because I don't have any friends . My email is [email protected]. Please someone be my friend!

Just off to email you my rl name mtlb

Have added you M2lb's
