NEW THREAD!

Sorry Fairy, only just saw your lovely tea & sympathy post!

Why does anyone need a flat tummy? Won't keep you warm in the cold weather, you know!

Sometimes I think my thighs have been swapped in the night with my MILs.

Flat tummies are over-rated. Has anyone heard the term 'Mummy-job' - plastic surgery on boobs and tummy to remove post-pg blubber.

Yes, rumours are that after the elective C some have a tummy tuck. To posh to push and too dumb to diet.

Fairy have you been watching Brothers and Sisters perchance? That's where I heard "mummy-job"!

Right I am off to spend some time with DH (we are watching the West Wing). Report to me tomorrow with your ab exercises. Night all x

Good night Bumper. I'm not a B&S fan, I saw it on some daytime crap tv that I was watching last week

Oh I heart B&S. But missed use of "mummy job" on there.

Just tried on my clothes and DH approves, but went awfully quiet when I said I was worried that I looked a bit pregnant . That is the inspiration I need to cut out the biscuits and chocs and try to get my pre-pregnancy figure and fitness back!

I'm off too. I can hear children still

LO awake

and I feel a bit queasy from the Maltesers ...

Night everyone!

Actually I want the fitness more than the figure. But hopefully one will follow the other.

I think I'll go to bed too. Have eaten too much choc and feel a bit sick

Night folks. I think I'll follow suit. No choc here but we did have a lot of pizza and cookies

Oh no, it's only me left again[b;ush], and we are watching a re-run of Minder from 1984

HELP!

BTW,DH has the tiniest lamp turned on, hence not enough light for me to type efficiently!

That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel tv-wise.

I'm not here really. Off to bed having scoffed friend's home-made pizza (the same ones that feed us home-made pasta every weekend), plus their daughter's boyfriend's mum's home-made flan.

lucky you - sounds better than my evening

In my defence Jonothan Creek is on next

Goodnight!

We have snow! And it's coming down quite heavily now, much more than when I had to get up with the jamlet at 5.30

Ria I hope JC was good

We've got snow too Jammy
DH has still gone to play golf though , I think he'll end up using the driving range and then probably have a full fry up in the clubhouse and come home (fat bast**d)

I need to find a babysitter........any advice on how to go about it?

Oh and I posted on our fat fighters thread last night cos I was feeling all smug and cocky - just need to muster up enough motivation to go back to the gym today!!

Hi DKMA! Well done on the gym! It'll all be worth it.

Blankets of snow here too

No idea about baby sitters DKMA. I remember when we were kids we used to be looked after by 15 year old girls from our estate, and I used to babysit when I was 14, but I can't imagine leaving DD with a 14 year old! Though in a few years I might be so desperate for a break I'll leave her with anyone!

Snow is melting. But took the jamlet out in the garden (sat in her old car seat) and took some pictures Might bring a bowl in for her to play with too, so she experience the coldness. Mind she did get some experience of that in the garden as where I put her at first was under a tree which was dripping! [bad mummy]

And well done on the gym DKMA! Putting me to shame. Bizarrely, clothes shopping yesterday I ended up with stuff a size smaller than I had predicted I'd need and this morning a top that had been sectioned off in the "too small" drawer fitted, but I checked the scales and I've not lost any weight. Not complaining though

All I know about babysitters is what I saw in the comedy baby book friends bought for DH on hearing we were expecting: There's a picture of a clean, young, smiling woman with a tick over it, and a big cross through the picture of a manky old tramp holding a sign saying "will sit for food"

hi all, snow here too - and we have a conservatory so it's absolutely dreamy.

anyway re sitters - i posted a little ad at my local newsagents and was lucky enough to get a call from a nanny with spare time. Then she had a friend who also sits for us. Is there a local baby-friendly cafe where you can post an ad? That might work too.

re the gym workout. i'm in denial about my biscuit consumption. as long as my jeans fit i figure, i must need the 'energy' which McVities provides . It does seem that one doesn't so much lose weight as become less puffy/denser after having a baby, and therefore smaller (in places)

oh this is funny - DH just paid for an extra sports channel but DS is protesting whenever he tries to watch it because all DS wants to see is Thomas. i shall let the men fight it out amongst themselves...

sorry about dragging you here Fairy (not really)
