    I was an 8 before my first, then a 10 after the next 2 were born, and then back to an 8 after Darach, now after cliodhna I would be probably a 12 or 14. I dont know as I havent got any clothes that fit :rotfl:apart from my stretchy maternity stuff. I was always a 14 - 16 in tops though :o.

    All the talk of sheepskin has reminded me I have sheepskin strap covers to list on ebay, but im at a loss how to describe them. Are they called strap covers, they cover the straps of pram and carseats :confused:. I cant seem to find any on ebay to get some ideas.

    I'd list them in pram accessories or similar :)

    ooooh girls, have you all seen this: tess daly 10 weeks after baby's birth?


    now here's the challenge: we all have to discuss it without the use of the following phrases:

    unnatural
    afford to hire a personal trainer
    someone else to do all her housework
    probably taking weird acai berry meds


    game on!


    My addition to this game is only a small baby (in comparison to my 10 lb 11.5oz lump)
    and B1TCH :rotfl:

    weezle my take on it is:

    ooooh girls, have you all seen this: tess daly 10 weeks after baby's birth?


    unnatural - Lucky lady - good genes!!!
    afford to hire a personal trainer - her husband/parents/in-laws must be helpful witht he childcare so she can go to the gym/running/do situps
    someone else to do all her housework - general all round superwoman
    probably taking weird acai berry meds - can't have developed the new mum fattening latte/cake at all meal times/grab food on the run that I have!

    R.mac, do you have a ford? My Mum's focus occasionally locks itself... She makes sure she never shuts the door without making sure her keys are in her hand! (after the first 3 times it happened lol)

    Was just in the kitchen putting a stew on (thrown in an aubergine, should be alright shouldn't it?) and Caitlyn whinged a little, but I ignored her while I finished... Figured she was OK strapped into her swing... Came back in and she was covered in cottage cheese and sitting in a big pile of it! Doesn't seem to bother her, she's lying on her changing mat batting at the baby gym things now...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Krystal it's a BMW and has a key fob which you press to open/lock. I usually hold onto the key but she was wriggling so much....I think it must have locked itself when I threw the key onto the seat so I didn't lose it :rotfl: Oh well - it's something I won't do again in a hurry. And it's soemthing I'm hearing has happened to lots of other people so that makes me feel a bit better!

    Sounds like caityn's quite happy!!!

    progression on the pushchair front - ruled out quinny zap as it doesn't recline. A must in my mind. I am drawn to the McLarens? Anyone have a silvercross pop???

    I have a McLaren Techno XLR, I lurve it!! Not used it much because Caitlyn's still in her pram and I prefer her Mummy facing while she's small... But I'm planning on getting my moneys worth once she's bigger...

    For Aimee I had a £70 chicco from Argos... It was nothing special but it served us well...

    Our BMW locks itself pretty quickly, any chance her wiggling meant it took a bit longer. Don't blame you for not wanting to lose key, they cost about £100 to replace don't they?

    Thanks Sami

    I knew there was a word I was looking for rather than straps :o
