September 08 Remember what we were doing this time last year?[wink]

[Debs75goldrings]

So what were we all doing this time last year?

I was pregnant...sadly lost that baby...my brother had just got married, I was working P/T as a medical secretary AND I WAS A SIZE 10!!!

I was peeing on ov sticks to name but one thing!

Debs Use the next size up nappy for overnights!

I was booking a holiday to Zanzibar to test sod's law in the hope that I'd get pregnant and have to cancel. (we went to Mauritius instead - no malaria)

I was feeling very proud of dd who had just started to pull herself up to standing. And I was starting to think about christmas shopping. And I came to the end of my maternity leave and started being an 'official' SAHM. I'm sure there was something else....
...having lots of sex TTC!

Debs I use washables overnight with no problem - I use microfibre nappies as they're nice and soft and they're often on for 11 hours.

Last year I was jsut thinking - ooops we didn't use a condom, does that mean DH is ready to start trying for a baby?

Also - S**t I haven't bought any Christmas Pressies yet

Just testing my new name. Thanks Starlight for having a level of imagination I can only dream of!

Just ordered a photo mug for dh's christmas present with pics of the kids on. He never used to drink coffee at work but since having 2 dcs he's changed his ways!

ninja what microfibre washables do you use that don't soak through overnight? ds soaks through a bamboozle if he's not changed at his 4am feed.

Carrie - I use bambinex teddies (think it's bambimeo) with a airflow wrap. I think more of it evaporates from a microfibre so might be worth a go.

Poor Katie has a chest infection so we're fairly miserable. She cough and coughs until she is choking and has gone off her food. Gp has prescribed antibiotics so I'm hoping they'll kick in quickly. At least it's not as bad as for my friend who has twins that were born in october. They've both got bronchiolotis and have to sleep in oxygen tents =(

Anyways, I'll get the poo baby massage routine sent out as soon as Katie is better.

Well, DS1 and I have spent the afternoon up to our elbows in bicarb & flour dough - thanks starlight - the boiler is currently covered in small stars, moons, xmas trees etc - and did Sams foot & hand - a very productive afternoon!
This time last year I was thinking.."hmm, would be lovely, but maybe after Xmas, then I don't have to abstain from alcohol.."

LOL Jenpet We have glitter EVERYWHERE, and some on the stars and little feet.

Have you remembered to poke holes in the ones you want for tree decorations?

Am looking forward to the glitter bit. Takes me back to my pre-DS's gay club nights out lol. Yep, holes in correct places...not sure who has enjoyed all this most

just checking in to get thread on my list.

DS2 had 2nd lot of jabs today, he was not amused but is ok now.

Poor Katie sassy, hope she gets better soon.

I'm planning on making dough things tomorrow too with ds1, sounds fun. Also planning on making cakes, better not get the mixtures muddled up.

bookmarking...

and a year ago was thinking, didn't work, probably will take ages as we were so lucky with dc1....

OMG, starlight, well done on finding that thread! This time a year ago DP and I were just on our way back from paris, having decided (after several beers and a trip to look at the cute clothes in petit bateau on the champs elysees) that perhaps we might give TTC a shot, thinking it would take a good few months. BFP appeared pretty much exactly 4 weeks later! I was also a size 10...

I can't think of a festive name

TisTheSeaseonToHopefully, fa la la....

Just checking in

Oh this is depressing - last year was a nice size 10, looking forward to a merry christmas with lots of work parties and going up to Manchester for my friend's 30th birthday (which was probably about the time that Erin was created ). Never did I think it would happen so soon.

Now have a lovely overhang but a goregous baby so shall count my blessings!

Will be getting our tree at the weekend, as my neighbours have put theirs up and it looks fab!

Sorry forgot to say I hope Katie gets better soon!

Fab name MelT!

So .... what size are you all now? I'm 2 sizes bigger on top (but I have a fab cleavage!) and about half a size bigger on the bottom, but a completely different shape.

Gahhhhh I'm a 12 on top (although if it was a fitted shirt I'd probably be a 14 due to vast boobs) and easily a 14 on the bottom half, probably a 16 somewhere like Topshop.
I have cut down the snacks slightly! Am going to have to start being a little more practive about it at some point though - I hate being bigger than normal.

Dunno! I was never any particular size, still not but definately bigger!

well I've just done a search to see definitively (well in a mumsnet way) what I was doing in December last year, and ....

it seems I was singeing my mooncup by leaving it to boil and forgetting about it
