ah I see, didn't realise you excercised even more before (CS ponders on HOW that is possible, gives up and wanders to the fridge to get a crunchie).
on you feeling down, hope you pick up soon.

pmsl @ fridge and crunchie

Jas · 30/04/2008 21:01

Was that me understanding?(proud ) or Flame, as always

DS came down the stairs 1/2 hour after I put him in his cot this evening. I'm guessing we need to sort out the stair gate for his door!
He has also cracked my window by standing on the windowsill and hitting it repeatedly with th tv remote.

Do youthink I should be paying him more attention?

Flame · 30/04/2008 21:02

I took it as both of us

Frizbe · 30/04/2008 21:14

at stairgate idea Jas, if he can get out of cot, he'll do the stair gate as well, I think my tried and tested method of yelling get back in bed, should do the trick, or the if you feet touch the floor, you'll loose your favourite toy, does the trick too at the window though.

Ok, so you want a laugh then, today there I am at swimming with dd2, feeling toned after hula and pilates last night (MRM it does work I'm starting to shape up with it, so can agree with Dame) I was just finishing getting changed, when another mum wonders in and says, oooh I hear congratulations are in order, when are you due and there was I thinking I wasn't looking that lumpy She looked suitably embarrased and said another mum had told her I was and she must be confused I think it was my sticking out belly personally the top half is toning, but the bottom bit is still being worked on!

Flame · 30/04/2008 21:23

Sod all advice with escapin kids btw.

for your congratulations Friz!!

Frizbe · 30/04/2008 21:38

tell me about it Flame, there is no way I am looking pregnant, my tum may be a bit lumpy, but I do not look preggers

Jas · 30/04/2008 22:03

OK.Recommend a decent Pilates dvd I can get, then.

I was congratulated on my new womanly figure today . At least it wasn't pg congrats (I hope she wasn't just being tctful anyway) but I do look about 3 months gone for some reason

NO I AM NOT!

Jas · 30/04/2008 22:06

I think he was using a toy as leverage to get out of the cot, and he tries to get over the stair gate downstairs but hasn't managed it yet.
He is way off your ds' skills on escapology Flame.

The windows and on top of the tv is a daily event tbh. Ths is why he is not allowed ustairs ever!

Frizbe · 30/04/2008 22:18

yikes Jas, pondering what to do with him, bar lots of naughty step every time he does it? or constant distraction techniques, but if you're like me, often too busy doing other things for that.
Dunno about pilates dvd's although someone recommeneded wii fitness to me last night, and she was a pensioner, having a whale of a time with it since she got it Friday

Flame · 30/04/2008 22:34

I'm trying to justify wii fit.

Put DS in a sleeveless top the other day - you should see the muscles on the kid!

EachPeachPearMum · 01/05/2008 00:07

cs- you made me have a crunchie too!
rofl at Friz's congrats- thats the kind of thing I'd do accidentally too
for all these adventurous children!
Dd look especially pleased with herself yesterday when she climbed into .... her buggy...for the first time by herself.

Jas · 01/05/2008 07:15

EPPM. Does she do stairs at all yet?

I want a pic of muscle boy (did like Dudette BTW)

I've never doe the naughty step at all. I obviously need to try something

No Wii here so wii fitness wold not help!

mustrunmore · 01/05/2008 07:43

I was kinda hoping you'd get wii fit Flame, so I could come and have a go Not that you've been communicating with me lately

Trust me, I do still look pg Have just got my friend to agreee to coming round and us both stripping off in front of the mirror, to panic me into trying harder! Her 2nd is under a year, and she's lost tons and much fitter

Went out with an old friend last night, and was all geared up for a new tattooo, except the place was closed Probably a good thing, as it'll be better to go to my usual man, as I know he's fansastic. Just requires childcare while I get it done, and he has a long waiting list!

Am still feeling emotionally drained for reasons I cant go into

Jas · 01/05/2008 08:04

How is comparing yourself to someone else and making yourself feel worse going to help?
Tattoo man with a waiting list sounds good. Book it in the school hols and I'll come and look after yours while you go

Flame · 01/05/2008 08:10

aaw will email later and tell life

CantSleepWontSleep · 01/05/2008 08:28

Are we all on hols at same time this time? We have 26th - 30th.

Agree that your comparison won't help mrm. You'd feel better if you compared to me! And no way do you look pregnant.
You're being very cryptic about a lot of stuff at the moment. E-mail if you want to offload more openly.

at Friz being knocked up!

Bad night with dd. Lots of hysterics and ended up downstairs with me from 10-11, then had another wake during the night. Still up at 6:20 though . No toddlers today as hall being used for voting.

Flame · 01/05/2008 08:36

Yup, we start from 23rd, but still the same full week.

DD wants to go and stay with "Your friend with Peppa" at some point

CantSleepWontSleep · 01/05/2008 08:49

lol. Either my mum is coming or we're going to her at some point that week. If she comes here it's likely to be by bus so Tues lunchtime-Thurs lunchtime. I also have my scan on the Tuesday afternoon, but otherwise we are free I think!

mustrunmore · 01/05/2008 09:04

Comparison will help as I need a good kick up the bum.

Thanks csws, but I really really cant tell about this one. Its the biggest and most disasterous thing thats ever happened to my girly side!

Jas, thanks for the offer! THere's a small park very close to him actually. I'm hpoing I might be able to slip in on a cancellation a bit sooner, as we are busy most of hols. Have you got inset days the Mon and Tues after the week off? thats my only free days I think.

Jas · 01/05/2008 09:14

Yes we are the same week.

I have Mon 2nd June off, but not the Tuesday.

damewashalot · 01/05/2008 09:41

We are off the same week too! but could well be having a baby

MRM don't mean to go on but really do recommend giving pilates a try, not only does it tone really well, it's very good for focusing and calming, I was very low when I started doing it and I found it helped my mental/emotional state too. Will dig out dvd to see what woman's name is, will be able to start again soon.

Have no idea what else I read as was before school, will try to pop back later.

Flame · 01/05/2008 12:24

Right, I have emailed you and I expect a full reply.

damewashalot · 01/05/2008 13:36

dvd is lost, I know my friend has my book but maybe she has dvd too

CantSleepWontSleep · 01/05/2008 14:20

Bugger. None of us had this last time did we?
