Hey new thread since our old stopping smoking and not gaining-too--much weight has been lost from chat! BOO!!!

I am not a good role model however as I HAVE piled on a stone, well 12 lbs now, since giving up the cigs.
This must be rectified!
Hence joining in the club section!

Donnadoon hope you find this thread.

Everyone else pile in, join and be happy or miserable bastard ex smokers

Hey I'm still here!
Sorry I've been missing in action, I've not had two minutes to myself since weekend, between kids clubs and ill pets!
All good now.

How did school return go, I felt sorry for mine, in all day again after the summer!
Been roasting here today, lovely, makes everyone smile Grin

Who hoo to second trimester...it's flying by!
Glad nausea gone.

Will make you laugh, my youngest told nursery staff that her mummy had a baby in her tummy...I wish!
Had to explain it was just cake and that LO is in a baby phase! Grin
Must get to gym more frequently as they were eying my belly!

Take it easy

Ha LO wants a babeeeeeee!!!! Give the child a babeeeeee FranDH
Grin
Ill pets ? Hope all OK now
Im twiddling my thumbs abit, Ive got loads to be getting on with, just need to find the motivation

FrantasticO · 04/09/2013 22:59

You twiddle away, you are growing a babeee!!

How are you doing sprouting wise, good bump going on now I bet Grin

Kids could get you hung, she's still adamant that there is one in my tummy but now telling people sshhh....it's a secret!
Nursery might also be aiding and abetting as they are finding it all very funny and have known me for years!

Dogs okish, just getting on a bit and needing drugs that pensioners would need I guess, horrible to see your pet getting on in years.

Anyways, bed now as back to work purgatory tomorrow!

Take it easy bumpy Grin

I've got stretching pains in tummy at the mo, so been n bed since 7pm
Had a busy week though, preggers Etc, got my excuses lol
Just waiting for cbb, don't mind who goes but bit fed up of Courtney now

Donnadoon · 06/09/2013 20:37

FrantasticO · 06/09/2013 21:20

Ohh will need to get Cbb on, have missed a few so will have to catch up!

Glad to hear you are resting up for a while, making a whole new person can be tiring at times Grin

Dog is okish, just not too keen on long walks anymore, other one is still mad as a hatter though! We share him between nans and here ( that is here when nans out and about)
He has been getting lots of cuddles.

LO been on best behaviour today, so likely some outrageous whopper will be told tomorrow at the most embarrassing opportunity!

Take it easy and be good to yourself, that tummy needs you resting and hourly choc since you can't have wine

I'm out of chocolate though and no one can be bothered to nip up the shop
Oh well minute on hips, lifetime on hips an all that

FrantasticO · 08/09/2013 15:21

Hi again!

Well did you acquire chocolate last night?Gin

All quiet here, kids are all a bit snotty and feeling the pace.
Been at clubs today so think an afternoon of quiet time in the house beckons!

Going out for a meal tonight, I must say it is so nice to not watch the waistline at the moment :)
Hope all is well your end

FrantasticO · 14/09/2013 08:25

Laughing at outlaws, so know that feeling, heh heh!

It's a busy old life at times isn't it?

So glad to be guilt and panic free from not smoking though :)
Hope all is well your end
Dd1 told me my bum is looking big today
Must chill with the eat what I want attitude Grin

FrantasticO · 18/09/2013 22:19

Aww, how's the cold today?

It's rubbish when you are Ill and double the misery when kids have it too.

Kids are full of cold here too, so I'm feeling your pain, though I'm ok.

Work is still ongoing, feel like I'm on a hamster wheel some days.
Get up get everyone ready, get everyone out, get to work, listen to days demands, get home late, listen to home life's demands, get ready to do battle the next day...and repeat!

God I'm a moan but it can get tedious! Grin

If I win money I might just go in so I can raise an eyebrow at the suggestion of how to make a busy day busier!Grin

So how's the bump?!?!
How many weeks are you at now?

I'm sure your bum is still teeny and your dd was pulling your leg!
Have cake and don't think about it till waaayyy after the birth Grin

Laters

OP posts:
Donnadoon · 19/09/2013 21:03

Oh Fran I feel rough, full of it I am
Got a cotton wool head feeling
I'm 17 weeks now and bump is protruding nicely shame that my arse is too
Sorry you are so busy at work, life just seems like a never ending merry go round sometimes
I do miss work sometimes, the adult conversation and so on
But it is a wonder that I used to manage struggle with juggling family life
Flowers have these and thisWine
I hope that you do treat yourself regularly , with new clothes and hairdressers etc, you deserve to, especially now you've quit the weed!!

FrantasticO · 20/09/2013 15:14

Oh poor poor donna, it's rubbish being ill

Try think of the many many colds and chest infections you would have had if still on the cigs, not much comfort just now when your feeling shitty.

Excited about your bump!! and sure your arse is lovely too, you do make me laugh

Early finish today as one of kids sent home sick...off to practice my Florence nightingale talents! Grin

Take it easy, that's an order.

On a brighter note, the weather is going to be nice this weekend
So must muster the strength for a nice walk at some point
Hope you have a nice weekend planned
