OH Fudge that should have been

neddie used to have my own horse but gave her up when I first got pregnant

Puts an APB out for mrsb

just realised I got my days wrong - oops sorry tee was thinking youwere going to have LO tomorrow

neddie - I'm hoping I'll have at least a week old baby by 6th July (saggitarius here - not good at waiting ) and, funny you should mention, but nobody mentions that it feels like you'd lose your hand in your marshmallow tummy after giving birth do they

Tab - I second the dropping formula if you can and I'd be inclined to take to my bed and just feed feed feed for 24hrs. The demand promoting supply thing is so true.

DH just got back 1/2 hr earlier than planned - am still chuckling over his panic bless.

my curry radar went off - who mentioned curry?

have been having serious curry withdrawal for a week now and have decided I must make one this very weekend!

tee hope you re enjoying your night out - fab way to celebrate he next stage of your lives together. Wish I'd thought of doing that.

love jws template for new daddies- ermintrude et al please take note!!

there's a most inconvenient crumb lodged under the A on my keyboard which is proving to be most hindersome to my typing...

jw I'm thinking a microlite isn't a light aircraft, right?

No mrsb it's a hang glider

crumb under the A? Is that prison lingo?

oh iris you're a saggy arse? hehe

I've still got a marshmallow for a tum

mrsB lol@inconvenient crumb. Who's been eating biccies while typing eh???? or is it a non-calorific Ryvita style crumb?

I dashed out to Tesco tonight in desperation to get a VERY el cheapo pair of jeans.....size 12 Mind you - my thighs are like two elephant's arses stuck below my hip bones Cor, add that to iris's saggy bum and jw's marshmallow tum and what a lovely montage of a 40+ yummy mummy we make...

FACEBOOK RANT!!! WHAH! Why can I not upload photos? WHY??? Is it cos I'm old and not down wiv the kids (and people I went to school with and old enough to know better)who TXT speak!

flails rounds in a teenager-style strop and slopes off to bed, moaning loadly to despair of DP

JJ Innit? FB has been playing up for a few days now. I keep banging the side of the screen and shouting obsenities and sometimes that works

Is it me or is there something rather sad and distasteful when adults use text speak......and in emails too!

tee I bet it feels like xmas eve (I know you don't do xmas but if you did, this is what it would feel like ) Bag packed; check. DH briefed; check. And off they go.......

I've got a pair of Tesco jeans on and mine are also size 12. I can't believe we're the same size? Surely not. You are far slimmer than me JJ. Perhaps they are Tardis jeans and you can actually get a size 20 in them at a push.

I'm actually excited at the prospct of picking up a second-hand pushchair today. Sad, I know. Although this is my second foray out into the real world this week as I went to floria's for lunch which was yummy delish and only spoilt by my errant child who squawked from the moment we arrived to the moment we got on the motorway on the way home when she slept I'll never have any sort of social life with her in tow.

I see Ramsay is in hot water. I can't help but chuckle. His big, fat, mouth has finally landed him in hot water.

I've just been laughing so much at this thread. I'd post on it but I think every annoyance that my DH has is right up there. My favourite being 'I've cut the grass for you'

So it isn't just me

Morning all

Just a brief check in before I go get some stuff done and head to hospital!

JW I have forwarded DH the 'list'!! But don't be surprised if he ignores it!

My goodness, Ramsay's really done it this time. What an ass.

Oh, and I do celebrate XMas, BTW. And it is sort of like that.

Everyone have a lovely few days and I'll be back on Sunday...baby in arms!!

Good luck tee Hope all goes well and we'll be waiting for news tomorrow - tell your DH on pain of death that we want, nay, need to know EVERYTHING! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to you and baby.

jw I loathe it when adults txt speak. Friend on FB is my age and constantly uses it - just seems wrong!

I'm not slimmer you know - I just have a really skinny top and middle and thumpingly HUGE arse and thighs!! I'm still classified as 'overweight' according to my BMI...which I take issue with. I worked out I'd easily get into a size 10 (which I am already am on my top) once I reach my 'normal range' which is still 8lbs away Trouble with trousers for me is once they fit my thighs the waist falls down

Can't Stand Gordon Ramsay. Nice food though. Twat!

OMG - that thread is SO true. Only this morning DP said.."I've cleaned the kitchen sink for you..." Oooooo, cheers mate! SO many things my DP does are on there...including the leaving crap in the utility room - thus making it an obstacle course for me to traverse while getting to the washing. AND buying loads of the same thing.

Right - off to playgroup.

tee how's it going. What are you doing? We must know!! Has the excitment kicked in yet? Did you get some sleep? Don't forget to pack some nice fruit juice to take with you as water gets SO dull and you really need to drink loads and loads after a c-s....get that bladder going

X-posts...BYEEEEE tee!!!!! claps hands excitedly xxxxxxxxxxxx

JJ I'm opposite to you then....heavier on the top (currently 12/14) but slimmer on the bottom (size 12). That's because I'm a typical apple shape and I have a little bottom, no hips and thin spindly legs. However the top part looks like a barrel of lard

I've found loads on that thread that are so my DH I can't believe that other women have the exactly the same problems! The line that begins 'I've cleaned/mowed/washed...........for you' must be universal.

Just purchased My First Baby Annabell from ebay for a bargain £2.99 as she's got felt tip on her elbow. Haven't we all?

Good luck Tee! See you on the other side. Get your husband to tell us all the details asap!!

Oooo (((excited clapping))) Tee not long now have a splendid time

crap night 2am and 5am again yawn!

Waves to everyone and goes back to ds who's constantly nursing today - what fun!

dxx

good luck tee !! don't keep us in suspenders too long!

I am uniformly fat all over - size 16 top, bottom and middle!

Mr D woke me at 2am and he was wet on one side where wee had escaped the nappy (as they do) and when I stood up to pick him out of the Amby my foot landed in a great puddle of wee on the floor under it- no idea why it didn't just soak into him and the mattress but instead ended up on the floor!

well that saved having to wash the mattress MrsB

JW Sorry forgot you had been horsey person.
My DP is not family friendly yet as has always been a bachelor all his life. Baptism of fire with the twins methinks. He mowed the lawn the other day and told me he didn't want it to be his "weekend program" to which I replied "neither do I but it needs doing" he didn't bother moaning the next time and just got on with it,so the training is getting there.

When DP and I first met a year ago he kept telling me I had the body of a 16 year old (I was really fit apart from slightly crinkled belly but basically quite toned). Now he just looks at the mountain of belly and goes "Oh dear".

Have just had the mouse terminator in today- we are now booby trapped and baited to the gills. I thought my house was quite clean but he found a few stray droppings in one of the plate cupboard near the floor and behind the fridge . Kim and Aggie........

PS. I used to hate the toilet seat up routine with my DX because invariably I fell down there in the night.

DP on the other hand must be more civilized and I have never once found the seat up!
His grandfather was a Marquis of somewhere or other so perhaps he has posh genes

Just in case you haven't gone yet Tee, I've come in to wave and send good vibes.

DH is supposed to be dealing with our email announcement but I bet I'll just crawl to the office and do it myself - and do mumsnet at the same time. If you want a job doing...it's just like on that thread, JW.
