    Giant duck heads that quack tunes...

    Mil bought Celia one of those, suitable for age three plus...... She tried to eat it (Celia not MIL!)

    On swimming costumes... I wear swim dresses... They cost a fortune but so worth it, I feel a lot better wearing one than a normal costume...

    What on earth is a swimming dress!? I dont even care, I want one :rotfl:

    Well all of a sudden I feel all lovely and clean, I showered and washed my hair this morning, it's a regular occurance! And I get up at seven every morning and get washed and dressed once I've fed Celia!

    But then one of the other mummies I know manages to sraighten her hair! I don't know how! She always looks perfect, I'm consistantly in awe of her!

    All this talk of swimming costumes has led me to sort out my summer clothes ready for my hols. OK, still 3 months to go but I can be prepared! Have decided I need a magic swimming costume... and some magic shorts... and a magic sundress or two!

    Oh and cold, grey and miserable here.

    You are by far the most organised person I know! If you come across any magic clothes let me know as I will take two.

    Why have I never seen these?, ruffles are really good and the bra bit sounds good too. Have you worn it to the pool? please tell me there will be people there who will look worse than I will :o
    I've never actually got to wear it because I got it for when we went away (hotel booked by MIL) and there wasn't a pool :( I won't go to a pool here coz I'm completely paranoid by germs and the thought of Chris touching everything and maybe swallowing water makes me feel physically sick _pale_:o
    I do have a close mummy friend who goes regularly and she is most deffo larger and lumpier then me, I'm sure no-one will be looking at you anyway but like most women you feel like they all are :)

    I've forgotten who said about taking presents back when its the sale - tss??
    My Granddad and Grandma usually get Chris something too big from M&S and put the receipt in the card just in case so I take it back in the Chrimbo sale re-buy it for less and in the right size plus get another one or two things to make up the difference :money: the Christmas just gone he'd been given PJs I took them back and I got some diff PJs (didn't have his size in the same ones) a pair of jeans and a hoodie :T

    I'm definitely a slummy mummy :p

    Matalan didnt have much in the way of swimming costumes but I bought one all the same. Its navy with tummy control, bra pads and has a couple of stripes on it.....not very flattering or trendy looking but was the best of a bad bunch.

    Does anyone wear swimming short type shorts over a swimming costume? I only ask as I tried on a swimming costume where the top half of me didnt look too bad but the bottom half looked terrible so if I added the two together......

    I did actually get a shower this morning, I just didn't wash my hair. In the holidays even when I do wash it I never dry or straighten it, just tie it straight up. I only dry and straighten hair on a work day and even then, only so I don't scare the children (too much!)
