Gosh you ladies have filled 210 posts in 6 days, at this rate we?ll be getting through threads faster than at 8 months PG!
Aubi Grrr to the journalist, how horribly intrusive. Hope they?ve been keeping away now. The photo shoot sounds as if it went better than expected, hurrah.
Beans it?s very interesting reading about your feelings re work, that you?re looking forwards to getting away so much. Do you think you'll go back after your next lot of ML, or is it full time mothering for the next few years? When I?m at work I really enjoy it and want to be back more, when I?m at home with DD I just can?t bring myself to care less about it... sorry you?ve been having a rough time with DH, there has been some good advice on here but he does sound rather controlling.
I watched the baby programme and while the opening sequence still makes me well up the two ladies were presented pretty dreadfully ? the poor 20 year old girl, if someone had given her a bit useful support and advice (eg that lying flat on her back wasn?t exactly helping her deal with the pain and being more active could have helped her have a bit more feeling of control) she could have had a very different experience. I want to see the poor little baby with the broken tummy again and see how he?s getting on.
Showbiz goodie bags ? the best I?ve had from a library conference was a mug, and a metal coaster. My world is so glam
Spot, hope you?ve managed to have a bit of decent time with DH. Is there any way his job can be tweaked to involve less travel abroad? Would they ever let you and T go as well?? Am loving the counting in GFrench to keep him still for the nappy change!
Am v impressed that everyone has massive boobs ? mine have totally shrunk away, even though the lady in Rigby and Peller told me I needed a 30F (!!!) I ended up in a 32D ie the same size I was before , excepting that they?re now all flat at the top and basically fold into the cup. Yuk.
PD, verso and turnip lovely to see you all again!
Rubena hope the good nights sleep are becoming a pattern for you! We?ve been on one nap a day for about a month and a half, she goes down between about 12 and 12.30 and usually does a couple of hours which is great for me, and she?s usually quite perky when she gets up again.
Jeans ? well I?m such an old lady that my current favourite pair are from M&S and they?re a bit of a miracle, I?ve got massive calves and usually can?t wear even straight leg jeans without losing the ability to walk up and down stairs, these ones are slim cut and somehow instead of making me all thunder-thighed, knock-kneed and freakishly calved, actually look rather stylish. I got two pairs as well as they cost £19.50
Invis glad you had a good lunch with the DCs at the BM, what a lovely suprise for them
Daisy your holiday sounds like a great idea, you all deserve a bit of a break from real life.
Effie yay for your mum, that?s such a brilliant achievement. You must be so proud
Ironing. Yuck. DH irons his shirts, since he wears them, and I might iron a top once in a blue moon if we?re going out, but that?s it in this house. As a kid I used to iron all my dad?s work shirts on a Sunday evening in return for my allowance ? but he wore short sleeves which were much easier. Ironing sheets is such a futile effort ? though I do love that feeling when you?re staying in a hotel and the sheets are all crisp and fresh. But it?s terribly envirohostile.
and hello to everyone else, hope you've all had lovely weekends and are currently having a nice relaxing evening on the sofa
Oh just before I sign off, news! SIL is expecting a baby! Which is to say, DH?s sister. MIL has been rather equivocal to say the least ? this is the MIL who objected hugely to their getting wed in the first place, and said that if they had any children a) they?d need to have growth hormones as he?s so short (is about 5?11...) and b) they?d be half caste because he?s Italian!! Baby is due in August so the same time as some of our December little brothers and sisters
