40 + Mums and Mums to be - Bellies, Tellis, Vomit and Poo

[Tee2072]

Here's another one!

Come on by if your 40 + and are pregnant, almost pregnant, just pregnant or even just want some virtual cake!!!

SPOT ON the nose mrsB that's EXACTLY like it - I couldn't have found a better analogy!!!

It's a very 1930s 'servant and masters' area. High Wycombe was famous for furniture (Parker Knoll, Ercol etc)as it's deep in the Chilterns where there are plenty of trees. In the 20s and 30s the rich bosses built estates and huge houses and very nice (small) homes for the workers and they lived almost side by side. We do not have one of the big houses!! We overlook the £850,000 (plus) houses from our window and lots of trees. Honestly, these families who destroy lives with ASB haven't a clue how lucky they are. They could be living in Peckham or a Glasgow tenement - then they'd know poverty

I'm slighty of you being back at work...I think I need to start using my brain more.

jw fab news on the weight loss....walk away from the luscious meatballs and hot dogs over at the Swedish emporium today. Am also that you're in IKEA!

Ladymac are you with child yet? Did the sweep work? Are you hanging over the sofa, pushing as I type? MUST KNOW

I'm back I ache in many places but I only had to push the bike up one hill so that is not so bad. JJ you can always join us so far we are 7 so another wiill fit nicely in the flotilla (sorry can't think of the right bike term).

Off to look at a house this afternoon hope it is nice then all we need to do is rob a bank and we will be all set.

Afternoon all.

Well, now supplied with cotton wool, cotton buds, muslin squares, baby finger nail clippers and (to DH's ) a thingy to suck snot out! I've been saving my Boots points for ages, so didn't cost me a penny!

Also, in a nice Saturday surprise, a new dishwasher was delivered and installed today. Our landlord never told us we were getting a new one, just the old one fixed. So very pleased about that!!

hedgepig I am very impressed that you went out in the rain and only had to push the bike up one hill! I am winded and ready for a nap from just wandering around City Centre!

JW Fabulous weight loss! Are you sure you have got 21 lb more to lose?[bhumm] LOL at Spade etc... I would have put a bet on something from 'The Herbs'.. Sir Basil or Dill..perhaps one of those that were not so common in the 70s, Oregano or Corriander.

JJ ROFL at Shameless-Hampstead...having lived 18months in a Glasgow tenement (followed by 5yrs in Rab C Nesbits Govan)I can't help but feel that those asbo badge seekers should be shipped up there for a spell on an exchange scheme...there again, perhaps not, they may only come back with new scams in their repertoire

PMSL at winning the 'out and about queen' title ...we always do Sat night dinner at Ils (though sometimes they change it to Fri and invite extended family)and always do Sunday dinner at Mums ...it barely counts as out for us. Next week however is a different matter as it is Dhs birthday on Tues and Alex has bought Daddy(and Mummy and himself) Saturday night at the De Vere hotel in Chester after a day round Chester Zoo with a late check out so we can enjoy the leisure facilities on Sunday before partaking of their family Sunday Lunch ...mmm

OOh floria A will love Chester Zoo I'm sure. K liked the elephants (first to see when you get in there) then she fell asleep. Mind you A is older and a bit more on the ball I love wandering around Chester too. Nice shops with nice things in them

Thanks ladies for the congrats on the weight loss. AND I bought a pair of size 14 pants today on the off chance they might fit me one day. Well, one day has come today! They fit and aren't tight one little bit. Actually DH told me off y'day for bending down in the supermarket in my size 16 pants and showing my builders arse off So, size 14 bottoms it is! Not sure about the top half yet so yet another excuse to buy more things! yay.

Didn't get to Ikea but went to Dunelm with DD#1 instead. Ikea date is Monday night I love shopping for homey stuff and her new flat is a great excuse.

hedgepig where are you moving to? Is it still local to where you are now? Which bank are you robbing? I'll make sure I follow you out in case you drop any fivers

mrsb good to hear you've set a date with xenical. I stuffed my face the night before I started mine as a last supper. It would be rude not to.

JJ I think a lynch mob is called for. You'll need some spades, home-made torches and lots of middle class NIMBY's Actually, I could lend a hand if needed. I'm free next Tuesday morning (writes in diary 'join lynch mob - 11.30am')

jw Excellent news on the weight loss, really pleased for you, its a good feeling isn't it well not for me at the moment, gone up a size what with everything going on been stuffing my face like food is going to be rationed

mrsb D is absolutly gorgeous, a real bonny lad
good luck with the weight loss!

The sickness bug seems to have skipped DT1 but they both have a nasty cold, runny nose and coughing

Oh no mum41 seems like it's your turn to paint the red cross on your door

MUM41 hope you're all feeling better soon - I think it's finally starting to lessen at ours here! That cough hangs on for a long time though!!

Did everyone go out for the evening?

I've just had way to much curry and then way too much ice cream and now half watching The Goonies!

Party animal, that's me...

well you're more of a party animal than me right now and I'm not even pregnant

And me. I'm in my pyjamas FFS! I can't even break open the ice cream What is this new fangled going out thing? I have no idea what it involves

Highlight for me is buying a lottery ticket and waiting for DH to return from walking the dog to give my feet a good old rub. Rock n roll baybee

Did anyone see on the news the Jade Goody circus funeral? Reminded me of a bizarre re-run of Diana's funeral.

Well, I've been in my PJs since just after lunch when I went for my nap!

Nope, missed Jade's funereal. Then again, I think I missed Diana's as well.

I saw it on the news - not much to see really. Loads of very skinny blonds in black wandering about. Hundreds lining the route. Still find it quite sad that she's dead. I liked her.

jw is it ok if I message you on fb for some tips re the Xenical?

Evening all. DP's mum and step-dad have just gone - they popped round and stayed for dinner; the girls were so excited.

Had a lovely time round at our friend's house and bought some bargin Usbourne books - most pleasing. Plus I had a glass of wine AND a muffin

hedgepig yes, where have you set your sights on moving too? Is it far from where you are now - or round the corner to upgrade? I too will hover around for any missed fivers! Tis an interesting time to purchase....hope it all goes well. Oh and hope your bum isn't sore from bike ride

Floria wow - you're hard core...Govan Hope you got a badge for that?! I'm impressed you remember 'The Herbs' I had a Parsley Lion soap-on-a-rope it was my fave thing! Gosh - they should bring those back - you'd make a fortune! Chester zoo sounds very nice and a hotel too....OOoooo, get you....clearly you hang onto your 'going out' crown for yet another week

mum41 hope the cloud of sickness lifts from your house soon x

Right - Casualty and bed for me. DP made dinner tonight so I feel a warm, cosy glow of not having to have done anything all eve

JJ most that you got a sort of day off. And you had wine too! What with floria galivanting to Chester and you relieved of duties, I feel most jealous.

mrsb only just caught your post re xenical/fb. No problems dear. Fire away

I'm (smugly) wearing my new size 14 trousers today. I didn't think I'd get this far but am very pleased that I have done. I'm ebaying all my bigger size clothes so there's no going back. Completely out of my comfort zone (literally).

I've got a multitude of jobs lined up for DH today. The first being getting the lawn cut. Weatherman says today is going to be beautiful but tomorrow it all comes crashing down with persistent rain. So, as the saying goes, we're going to make hay while the sun shines. I think the washing line might even get a go today!

Has anyone seen the pics of Jade Goody's funeral with the sweatshirts with her face on them? Oh dear.

I also caught 'the word according to Gwyneth Paltrow'. I think she's landed recently on planet Madonna. Or was it just planet Mad?????

Good morning all.

Well, its getting harder and harder to get comfy in bed. But still managed a bit of a lie in this morning.

JW you go on and smug away, that is fantastic! I want to see a picture of the new slimmer you.

I'm scared to google 'the word according to Gwyneth Paltrow.' Am I right to be?

JJ sounds like a great day.

mum41 I hope everyone is feeling better today.

tee she's on DM website saying shampoo is highly dangerous

Will get a photo together today before any weight creeps back on

tee I recommend one of the long pillows for getting comfy. I got mine from Dunelm mill but they do them anywhere. If it's got the word 'maternity' before it though, prepare to pay around double the price!

Shampoo is highly dangerous?!?

I actually have one of those JW that I got for Christmas. Me thinks its time to actually use it!

Morning all

Gwynnie is a loon. A total feckin' loon. Shampoo causes children to drop like flies apparently . It's a wonder there's any one left on earth with all the toxins we are exposed to according to her. People have been exposed to toxins as long as there have been people and lots of "natural" things are as toxic as synthetic things.

tee sorry to hear bed is getting uncomfy - I was still lying on my tummy until about 30 weeks I hope you don't get any pelvic girdle pain - sheesh I remember all the waking and going ow, ow, ow OWWWW, as I tried to slowly turn from one side to the other.

Gorgeous day here, Mr D is full of coughs and snotters but I would like to take him somewhere - if I could just get daddy up outta bed!

She really is a loon, I have to agree. But then, she is so far removed from normal living that I think her brain is just toast. I've never been a fan anyway - she criticises the US when she's here in the UK, and criticises the UK when she's in the US. I don't think she'd ever survive if she had to live the way normal people do.

WHAH - just wrote a HUGE post and now all gone.
GRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Excting day - been to Tesco and now waiting for DP's dad to come over. As jw once so aptly descibed him (without ever having met him) is a Serbian James Robertson Justice in his 'Carry on' days! I'm having a small wager with myself that it'll take him just 20 mins before he calls someone who has annoyed him a 'PEASANT'in his bellowing voice

tee sounds like that pillow needs to get into bed with you - they are brill!

mrsB sorry poor D is still snotty

jw definately need a pic - a size 14 being comfy is so pleasing. Good on yer!

Gwyny Paltrow is a Grade A weirdo. What she needs is a nice big KFC bucket, a wash with Herbal Essence shower AND hair gel (for extra parabans) followed by a good sniff of Shake 'n Vac to put her freshness back....and lift her toxics up to the levels of us lesser mortals. She's a skinny, sour-faced, doe-eyed LOON!

There - got that off my chest. Must go and check the chicken....not that it'll have walked out of the oven or anything.

Shall post a pic of my garden later....a tractor wheelbarrow arrived yesterday. Yes, who knew such things existed?

Raise your hand if you think Gwyny's nanny feeds her kids hotdogs and chips as soon as her back is turned?

Yeah. Me too.

Just got back from the shops. Our kitchen bin decided today would be the day to leak all over the floor. So now we have a new one. Which meant I lugged home the groceries while DH lugged home the bin!

Gonna go dig out my body pillow and go have a lie down! Talk later!!

Afternoon all. Tis daughter number 1's 14th birthday today. She is beautiful and happy and lovely and we are so lucky with her.

This time 14 years ago she was a few hours old, and the weather was lovely. And today it's perfect weather as well! Husband and all three children are outside playing croquet for the first time this year.

I definitely think that Gwynnie's kids will be mainlining kfc and sunny D when they are old enough to get about under their own steam. They will probably rechristen themselves Josh and Laura as well while they're about it.

Just went for a lovely walk by the river and into town. Am so fecked off with baby Monsoon - went in there to buy D a sun hat as he keeps getting blinded by the sun. One wall was lined with sparkly bags and yummy sun hats for girls and and in the titchy afterthought boys' corner? not a single one. Do they think boys don't have any heads?

Went mad on expensive scented candles too. Yummy.

Happy Birthday to duchesee's Daughter!

That seems to be a common complaint mrsb. That there just aren't as many clothes for boys. Maybe we should start a company...
