Oh just remembered after my last post about csws telling me about moon cups! I never did get one!

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 20:57

It's an Anita one and it is comfy. I have Royce bras too, but they tend to hang low in the front. I say a nice one in Debenhams the other day, it was a T-shirt style one, but it only went up to a G. I got one from Mothercare and my boobs almost fell out of the bottom of it! When I am out and about I wear a maternity underwired one otherwise my boobs tend to blend into my tummy. I still have a huge tummy because of that damn cyst.

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 21:05

Aubergenie - You should mention something MNy when you contact her and see what happens!

Argh!!!! The Apprentice is on and cheeky M is still up! Aw Ronshar, You are the devil woman! I want cake now. I have loads of cupcakes in the kitchen ready for Saturday........ temptation.......

CantSleepWontSleep · 20/05/2009 21:08

D still up too MM.

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 21:12

Damn those TV ruining babies of ours!!!! you're a big The Apprentice fan too aren't you?

CantSleepWontSleep · 20/05/2009 21:18

yes mm - am trying to watch whilst d clambers all over me

OP posts:
CantSleepWontSleep · 20/05/2009 21:33

D's eyes starting to shut - hurrah!

OP posts:
Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 21:35

I've just got M down too. We've been recording it so we're going to start watching it now.....

CantSleepWontSleep · 20/05/2009 21:37

I'll leave him on my lap til it finishes.

heather1980 · 20/05/2009 21:37

well ner alex is asleep!
alex fell over today and cracked his head really hard on the floor he was stood up holding on to the sofa, forgot and let go. the poor mite was so upset.
HMM i got dd a beautiful cream and gold one in m&s. it's not a 'christening' gown as such but i wanted one she could wear again, so it wasn't such a waste of money.

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 21:43

Hmm - Monsoon also have some lovely white angelic dresses, those too are not christening gowns but could be wore again. I can't refine the search well enough so here are all the baby dresses. There are some beauties an you can almost always get matching booties.

Ekka · 20/05/2009 21:43

CSWS - I hope D is properly asleep now?

We went out to a school open evening, dd loved running around and 'reading' books to the teachers bless her, and it exhausted ds, so I'm hoping for a reasonable night.

Heather, poor alex. I'm impressed he's pulling himself up. Ds can't push himself up onto hands and knees yet!

For those of you with older dcs I could do with some suggestions on this thread. Am starting to panic a little about our flight to Canada!

CantSleepWontSleep · 20/05/2009 21:51

Ah heather - Alex needs a thudguard! (see apprentice)

Dh has taken ds up to bed now. Goodness knows what will happen tonight and what time he'll be up in the morning!

OP posts:
aubergenie · 20/05/2009 22:05

I want one of those buggies. I wonder if they're any good?

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 22:08

But will you ever be able to use it Aubergenie? Have you got a degree in engineering?

aubergenie · 20/05/2009 22:12

Do you think it's really tricky? It's got to be easier than my stupid Bugaboo MM!

Honeymoonmummy · 20/05/2009 22:12

Hi all! Am off to read, only 4 pages this time!!

ronshar · 20/05/2009 22:13

Heather, ouch poor baby. Is it your DH who is in the Halifax ad? If so which one is he?

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 22:16

Maybe Lorraine is just useless at it! I think you'd have to look at the quality of the it first. I can imagine it getting a bit rickity very quickly as it is gimicky. But then it might be really excellent. Find out if anywhere stocks them.

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 22:21

Heather - Meant to say poor Alex, got carried away with the thought of pretty dresses. M appears to be a wuss and cries loads about hurting herself, even a tiny bit.

heather1980 · 20/05/2009 22:29

he's in the natwest ad. he's right at the end in the bit with the natwest logo. he's laughing iirc.

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 22:31

I thought so Heather. I saw the advert the other day and then checked out your FB profile and deduced that he was at the end.

ronshar · 20/05/2009 22:32

Ah not the Halifax ad then! I shall look better next time.

Stop obsessing about new buggies. All of you!

Marthasmama · 20/05/2009 22:34

I am happy with my pushchair Ronshar. I'm not getting you started on buggies again!
