    nooooooo! sami don't drown :rotfl:Have you got to the bits where I eat cow parsley/nettles/pig's brain yet? :o:cool:

    will do on the lettuce. Have you been reading peter rabbit to christopher perchance?

    Elle had made some vouchers for DH IIRC...

    Glad that Aless and GISI are more rested :)

    searchie sweetie I'm a bit worried about your headaches! Can I be a bit motherly and ask if you're eating enough? It's just that a 28 inch waist at your height after 2 babies doesn't really sound to me like you need to be dieting at all. Sorry if that's overstepping the mark, but you've said before that you see yourself as bigger than you are, and now you've been having a hurty head... xxx
    not up to brain et al yet, I wait with baited breath :cool:

    I just remember someone on tv saying lettuce makes you sleepy it's been filed in my 'useful' file in my brain for years

    Searchie I do agree with lovely Weezl, did you read the link I posted last night? made me miss my bootyliciuous-ness

    must go OH is rushing me!!

    Hmmmmm, I suppose I'm different then as I am an early riser and don't really appreciate a long lie.

    I'm quite happy for my OH to have a lie in, but under no circumstances will I confine us all to one room or creep about my own house while he sleeps.
    If he can sleep through family noise then he can stay in bed. Quite often he puts ear-plugs in if we are noisy. He does nightshifts aswell so he is used to sleeping through daytime noise.

    Only thing I don't do if he is in bed is hoover, I'm not that cruel!

    I really couldn't hand over K to OH at the weekend and do my own thing simply because he is my son, not a job I do M-F. We share his care most of the time but I could never say 'Your off today, your having him'

    Becles, I can sympathise. Oh likes a lie in and it is hard enough keeping a ninemonth old quiet.

    Nettles are nommy. Husband eats cows' brains sometimes but I find the texture too urgh. But we do eat chicken feet at dim sum (I won't eat tripe but he gets all excited about it).

    awwwww :o its ok though you dont need to be worried .. ive had really wide hips since zoe (she really changed my body shape) so my body does really dramatic dips my top half is really slim but my bottom half is really wide so that what im more focused on ... and the hurty head to be honest i think is more through stress it hasnt been the best start to the year have to admit they have eased off abit but thats stress for you comes and goes .. i do eat right though and definately have a good size dinner (love doing my dinners) ... but thank you though for being so caring x

    I got a lovely lie in this morning :D Hubby took the baby down at 8:30 and bought her up to me for feedings at 10... Aimee's with Nanny... She's the biggest spoiler of lie ins... Even though she's told not to go into the bedroom when one of us is asleep she still finds reason to...

    And in other news... Took Caitlyn a good 46mins to completely settle last night (she had a bit of a sleep on the way to the chinese buffet...) but she went from 9:46 all the way to 5:15!!! That's the most she's slept in months... I'm all :D today :D:D:D
    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.

    Eh? Are we mental?! Is this not the same as looking forward to having my leg amputated so I won't have to have a lingering verruca? What madness the world of bounty inhabits :rotfl:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    had some very random dreams last night like having part of my brain removed to get rid of my headaches but then losing part of my skull :confused: .. ive also woke up and i feel like ive been punched in the eye its all tender and alittle puffy so wondering if i smacked myself while i was asleep ...

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



    Quick question - has anyone seen Tommee Tippee breast pads on offer?
    Are they likely to be in the Asda event?

    I bought some when they were half price in Tesco (when still preg) but only bought one box in case i couldn't breastfeed or whatever. Really gutted now cos they're £5 for 50. 7 years ago Morrisons' own were very similar to them so i bought some but they're totally different and awful, they are small and like paper, not absorbant at all and not adhesive.

    Otherwise, can anyone recommend any that are as good as TT?
    Or do i just need to accept that it's gonna cost me £5. (Prob works out cheaper since i had to change the cheap ones every 2 mins:rolleyes:)
  • Morning all

    I had a quick look at the OS board earlier whilst sat here with a cup of tea and toast. I was put to shame by everyone already having the washing machine on and lunch organised :o. So I now have two loads done and a third whirling as I type! :D. And I put DH to shame about lunch! ;)

    Is brain called brawn? Sure my grandad used to eat it many moons ago. And chicken feet, SS?! :eek::rotfl:

    When Jamie was tiny DH let me lie in every weekend as he knew I needed the rest and also wanted to spend time with the children. Now we pretty much alternate between us as they both wake around 7:30am so its not too early really. But if we did need a lie in then it wouldn't be much more than an hour or so.

    I have 16 TT pads, plus a box-and-a-half of Sainsbugs (approx 60), that I don't need and won't use - no leakage! They can be fairy-mailed if you are interested?
