    I'm too hot and completely knackered! Is anyone else who already has kids finding it a struggle? I am feeling guiilty as by the time I've finished work and done the school run I'm fit for nothing - just keep sitting on the settee, barely have the energy to move today and I'm fighting the urge to shut my eyes. Tea ends up being something quick and easy.
    Had 10 mins in garden with dd earlier playing catch but feeling a bad mummy today :(.

    Ethelsmum don't worry, we all have days like that! Doesn't help it being so hot all the time!

    Hell yes... It has been such a pain I was considering ringing KH and asking him if he wanted them Friday night just so I can have a break.. I am hot and by about 5pm I am absolutely exhausted!!!

    To add to the mix the little gits refuse to do anything OH tells them so i have to move.. and I just want to cry.

    I forgot how much I hated being 7 months pregnant.. and I definitely forgot how much I hated having summer pregnancies (summer babies are lovely though) My 2 oldest girls are both July (due 24th, born 5th and due september 8th!! born 26th July).

    Bubs has started to stir a little and gave me a few punches on the train home! I am going to have a shower and then a big glass of ginger pop with loads of ice and maybe a magnum :D

    delain - i only got mat trousers off ebay, my tops are either my normal ones, some long sainsburys ones or some my sis kindly passed on! Ooh, and today I caught 3 buses, 2 trains and 2 DLRs...normal day for me, in fact its often 4 DLRs!!!

    stay put and cheer up and stop being grumpy vibes to pigpen
    stay out of hospital vibes to smartie

    It's the tops I'm struggling with, my trousers are all ok! I went in H&M, couldn't get into a size 18 :eek::eek::eek::eek: I've got next maternity in a 16 and it all fits :o

    I used to catch 8 buses every day as a matter of course but couldn't cope with that at the moment :o am down to 4 trips per day on a normal day but I take three children on two of those :rotfl:

    I feel like I have been on a little tour of Bournemouth today. Trouble is usually if I go there it's in the car so you're quite aware of how roundabout the routes are, you think 'We're going to Bournemouth, what are we doing HERE?' lol

    mmmmmm magnums. I'm drooling now! We've got some caramel ice cream that is calling to me right now :j
