Is she more developed than most of her friends, as that may be what's making her feel self-concious. I remember that I was, and was hugely relieved when someone else joined my class who was at the same stage as me. I guess she's probably just not ready to be a teenager! Is her big sister any help?

No I don't think sh eis more developed she just really doesn't want the boobs and the fur and if you even mention periods she runs for the hills.

Her big sister is a help, she has talked about periods with her and about shopping for her first bra and came with us and tried a couple of new ones on herself in the changing room with us.. She is MY daughter and doesn't give a fig.. a body is a body.. which makes it even harder for DD2 I think because none of the rest of us have ANY hang ups (I know that is shocking!! You thought I was such a prude!!)

We finally got over the bra issue.. she was adamant she wasn't wearing one (30A we got) Even though she 'needed' the coverage a while ago.. you could clearly see her little hooters through her school tops she wouldn't even wear one of those soft little crop tops.. DD1 had those from the second they appeared because she was horrified they could be 'seen' lol.

Sometimes I don't think DD2 is mine!

YAY!!!!! Im glad we are back.

Hello

Three loads of washing done and dried today, it's been lovely. We went out this morning with the dog for an hour and she had a lovely run and this evening we went to Bath park and saw some balloons taking off and then had a walk round the gardens.

It was a good day

We're back - yay! :j

We have spent a good bit of the day in the garden today, and had a very productive day and decided on our focus for next year, which we usually get round to in January/february time. We are going to take out 2 nasty rockeries - make one into a veg patch, and replace the one just outside the patio with decking.

DS1 was being really helpful, watering stuff, putting the stuff DH chopped down in the green bin for us even though he had to stand on tippe toes to do it, so it could be a family thing.

I haven't looked elsewhere for you, so i hope you had a great day one and all and enjoyed time spent away from here.



jobs for the weekend:

• HHI x2 at least
• [STRIKE]strip beds/wash bedding/remake[/STRIKE] and mattress hoovered
• [STRIKE]fold my pile of PJs and put away[/STRIKE]
• empty airers off
• wash at least 1 load of my stuff, [STRIKE]1 of DHs[/STRIKE] and 1 of kids lights, my dress to wear for next wedding
• boots - get nappies and softwash/teething gel
• [STRIKE]food shop[/STRIKE]
• visit parents - haven't seen for 3.5 weeks due to overlap of our hols
• but a weedkiller and deal with saplings growing under patio
• [STRIKE]cut grass on top part of garden[/STRIKE] also did some major pruning of trees and weeding (me one handed while rocking DS2) and hoe-d through the compost to mix it
• go to moss bros - DH measured for suit for friends wedding
• pay DH's overtime wages into bank
• [STRIKE]bake a load of biscuits[/STRIKE] in now, and smelling delicious, might have to sample one when they come out.
• get some different toys out of loft for DS1, put some of current ones in loft
• wash moses basket covers so that can be put away now
• put bumbo box in loft
• get 2 boxes of DS2s too small stuff packed/sealed in loft
• DH to replace bulb in the outside security light

We also have managed to replant my pepper seedlings into tubs and got them outside while we can - wouldn't have chance till next weekend otherwise. And, we have a hand and feet casting kit for the boys, and we did DS2 before sending him to bed, and they are just setting now.

So all in all, we are feeling quite chilled and pleased with progress to now this weekend. Shame we never get the whole list done though. :rolleyes:

Meat is out for tomorrows dinner, and we will be popping to ASDA as there is a voucher in the NOTW tomorrow for a free birds eye meal - 12 box of fishfingers/12 waffles/bag of frozen peas, so as we will be going past it, we will make the most of that offer for the price of a paper.

Right, off to watch a DVD now - you, me and dupree. Going to have a cheeky glass of wine with it and unwind.

Michelle, x

Night all

Oooh.. will they take my first born child instead? Mines unpleasant..

pigpen well done on sorting the uniforms - it helps you have 2 girls to help you i am sure

No.. they just nagged me to buy them extra unecessary stuff while we were shopping.. things like.. boob holders when they already have plenty!! I have 3 and she has to have 103!! Eeyore pens!! A Disney store reusable bag.. Bright pink nail polish.. which I hasten to add she WAS supposed to be giving the money for... *HINT* (she is reading over my shoulder just in case you all think I've lost the plot!!)

Erm... Boots meal deal.. I could have just bought one but because they were there I had to buy 3!!

The bunny ears and cat ears WERE necessary!! And the hat for tiddles is REALLY cute!

I am just going through this with my 9 year old (10 in Oct) she is far more advanced than any of her friends however has been happy with the crop tops which i had got over the summer, bought a first bra yesterday and it doesnt fit too small so guess where i am back to tomorrow..
