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

Loving the clotted cream...not so much with the soft mr whippy Grin
Where you pregnant when you fancied that??

Now clotted cream on proper Italian ice cream,mmmm!

Shattered here and I don't have a newborn
Work and no play tires a person out.

Dog seems okish, a bit doddery, a good bit slower, but happy enough poor muttley.

Kids all in a frenzy of night activities that make the days seem loooonnnnggg!!!

Anyhoo I've moaned enough

Hope you hand your lovely girls are well?

Bought some new jeggings from newlook this morning, size 12 and they are far too tight :( I'm keeping them though, even if I have to jump off the wardrobe to get in the damn things Grin

Donnadoon · 28/02/2014 14:57

No I weren't pregnant then , I've always had them ice creams
Some ice cream sellers refuse to serve me them that way or lecture me on how the cream will slide off (doh not when I eat as fast as I do )

FrantasticO · 28/02/2014 20:06

Hiya
Aww why you feeling crabbit ?
Hope you had a lurvely day off ?
Devon was fab ! No surfing this weekend, kids wanted to but they just got over a cold so mean mum said nooooo ! Grin
Hey but I had a proper ice cream , honey comb flavour with a big dollop of clotted cream and I thought of you :)
'Twas lovely for the kids to see their grandparents and the new motor is brilliant, not too heavy on fuel and not too slow on the hills either
Hope you are high on the endorphins, ooh I miss them, haven't had them for a while, since my power walking with the dog phase, I will be doing that again soon -as soon as the rotten weather changes-
X

FrantasticO · 03/03/2014 22:02

You are making me grin when I read about the ice cream!
Sounds good, hope you enjoyed it.

Endorphins are a flowing, think we all need some sunshine at this neck of the woods! Tried powerhoop, it was brilliant fun Grin
However, sun was shining today so got out for a walk after nursery which was great!

Crabbit is my default just now, trying to shake it off. It's so not the way to be...it's tiring being as cross as I've been Grin

Anyhoo, glad car is running like a dream.
Hope the wee one is still chomping and gaining weight and that your one year old hasn't got you running too mad!

Catch up later x

Hiya
Hope you feeling better in yourself, i hate wednesdays, always have done, too far from still being on high from the previous weekend and too far away to be looking forward to this weekend, plus when i worked full time which was only school hours and a saturday morning i had to work until 5.30 pm on a wednesday which meant putting ds1 in after school club , which he hated and i had no choice but had to do it...plus there is nowt eastenders on the telly Blush
Anyhoo i have a big bouncing 5 week old, she feeds non stop, dread to think what she weighs now
Its tiring and she is a screamer but im glad because dd1 was like this and she thrived where as dd2 was slow to gain weight and although not sickly i think that you worry about them less when theyve got a full tummy iyswim
Sunshine forecast for this weekend, got to sort our back garden out its a shit tip Grin

FrantasticO · 06/03/2014 17:45

Glad it's Thursday then!?!

FIVE weeks???
It's flew in, bet you felt you have just blinked and one month is gone!
Glad she's putting on weight and thriving, you will be like a prune!

All good here, counting down to Easter as we are going away for a few days to a caravan, kids super excited!
Dog coming too as he's on the mend!

Nearly the weekend!

Definition www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=crabbit&defid=1197927

Summed me up! Grin

You'll be shattered with all the running about that christening s bring, never mind birthday celebrations too!

If I see you're boogie bus on the motorway I will give a toot!

Back to the grind tomorrow, however the sun is shining here too, though it's still a bit chilly!

Get rest when you can and hopefully that sore throat of yours will disappear?

Take it easy x

weathers amazing here today...hope it lasts through the weekend

Donnadoon · 14/03/2014 21:35

Fran
I've become a little un healthily obsessed with that missing plane this week
Every new news bulletin or headline I'm waiting with baited breath
The poor families :(
I'm hoping for a happy ending, that they are all still alive somewhere
too much time on my hands me thinks
I power walked round the park again this morning, in the fog Grin
There ain't nowt that's gonna shift this mummy apron I'm sporting though
I got away with going back to a flat tum after dc3 but dc4 and now dc5 have knackered it for sure, bless em, don't mean to blame them, didn't ask to be born did they? They are worth it...but I ain't gonna be in a bikini again ever without a tummy tuck first
Grin
Have a lovely weekend xx

FrantasticO · 16/03/2014 19:55

Evening!
Back online blardy virgin

The plane disappearing is so sad and very strange.
Maybe your hormones and sleep pattern are making you think of it more than you normally would.

My eldest has had a tough week, getting grief of other children at school.
Kids can be so cruel at times.
Seems to be sorted after much gnashing of tears and snotters!!

My belly is like jelly, but you know what I don't care today!
I will just tuck it into the bikini bottoms
Glam me!?!
Should be on the style and beauty boards!

Still freezing and raining here.
Keep hearing about the sunshine down south jealous moi? Envy

Give those lovely kids of yours a big cuddle and try not to think too much about the plane.

Take it easy x

Donnadoon · 18/03/2014 14:58

Awww your poor eldest...I hate bullying, and yes kids are cruel sometimes
Ive always told mine to feel sorry for the bully as perhaps their mum and dad dont love them as much as we love you etc...Strong I know, but it puts a different spin on it for them when they are feeling so upset. Ive always said that it dont matter what they say or do because they are loved soooo much at home and family is more important than randoms at school. And what my Mum used to say " you dont go to school to make friends you go to learn"
Its horrible when they are being left out though and not directly bullied, it takes an understanding teacher/dinner staff to keep an eye out. Huge sympathies x
YY to tucking in tummy to bikini bottoms Grin
All good here still powerwalking every weekday morn, but still no visable results yet
Oh well Im not that bothered somedays, somedays I wanna be a size 10 otherdays Im quite happy as i am :)

FrantasticO · 18/03/2014 20:25

Ola
Bullying seems to have stopped, looks like they move on to a new target every couple of weeks little gets
I'm not quite so understanding as you, I wanted to launch them! Grin

Good on you power walking
How's the über buggy, still jealous!
Maybe I should freak the husband right out and buy one of those pretend doll / babies and a new buggy [evil cackle]

I'm now what you could call F A T
I'm not happy so am addressing it as of today, blah!
Have been comfort eating and it's not a good thing!
Hey ho, I'm positive and will be back in my proper clothes by summer
now to find a gammon slicer

In other news, it's still peeing down with rain and bloody freezing so at least I've got layers to hide my blubber just now Grin

Come on summer!!!

Take it easy

Hiya
It's pouring with rain here, stuck indoors now but luckily took dog out this morning and got some washing dry interesting life that I have
Woo for new hair
And yeah that article made me laugh
Still squeezing bulging out of my size 12 jeggings here
Going to the farm shop in a minute to get some goodies for tea
DH really peed me off last night, did you watch sport relief? He said that he though Davina was looking a bit wide? I thought she looked fab and if look like that in my forties I'll be over the moon....think he just having a dig because I spent £15 on her new DVD fit in 15... Haven't done it yet
Ha ha we had strong words git

Donnadoon · 25/03/2014 20:18

Hiya
How's tricks?
All good here apart from the rain, it was lovely yesterday but hasn't stopped today
My kids are not at school tomorrow because of the teacher strike, so I've got a lie in to look forward to
Although Dd3 has her first lot of jabs tomorrow
Hope all is well with you
Chat again laters
X

FrantasticO · 25/03/2014 21:08

Raining cats and dogs here too.

Good luck with the jabs, poor you having them on the day of a teachers strike.
No striking up here so far. Sure it will follow though as all we hear is more pressure and less people across all jobs.

Laughing at your lie in, you so know that ain't ever happening sorry to burst your bubble!

There has been much secret activity around Mother's Day by my lot, they are so funny. I am afraid to think what they are planning as long as it does not involve the cooker

Good luck good luk good luck with the little one tomorrow Flowers

Bugger all to report my way in the gossip stakes!
Except I've been called for jury duty work will love that
Fingers crossed I don't get picked
I do have one of those faces, so I will be the one selected!

How's you and the kids?
Still jogging with minimal gear on (evil cackle)
Hope your dream machines aka buggy and car running?
