    I have trinny and suzana fat pants. I have to tuck them under my bra to stop them rolling down.

    See, i'm a funny shape! 5'7 but long body and short legs :( so even the biggest knickers aren't long enough to tuck into my bra!

    I tried on a gorgeous all in one trouser suit a while back, and I loved it, but the legs were too long, and the body part was right up my backside. :eek:

    It fit lovely a few months after i had H as i was breast feeding and lost some weight now it is so tight! I am not sure about it at all. It is this dress I need to lose weight and fast!

    Gorgeous dress elasti. As we're on about big sucky-in knickers, would they help at all?

    Mum has lost two stone on slimming world and is loving it. She says she's eating loads, more than before, but the right stuff.

    magic knickers/spanx- ive got lots lol, the best ones ive got are from m&s

    I've got some M&S ones, but they're thong back - it's like sitting on a cheese wire!


    After J's behaviour meltdown last week, his SW has just been out to discuss help. He's applying for a carer for us, 4hrs a week. Hopefully it'll be awarded - if it is, it's the first useful thing the SW has ever done.

    I've got an appointment with his Dr. at school 1st July too. The school nurse said the Dr. is keen to try to help the behaviour before going down the drugs route - which i'm happy about! I think!


    Good luck for OH's and test results.

    I knew the rolleyes smiley was gone because everyone always types it, but hadn't noticed the confused one was missing. I don't think I use them enough!

    Yes Fitz most pleased :D, as currently brassic due to OH's ability to "loose" cough, £250 whilst p1ssed.

    Now petrified that next year they will try and take if off me or ask for it back.

    Also OH won't be finding out unless he gets his hands on the letter that will follow soon.
    Have a list of things to sort with it, Summer child care costs for Joe, new fridge freezer, car seat for Alex, etc and most definately handing it over the bar at the nearest pub does not feature heavily in my plans.

    OH needs to remain firmly in the dark as he is not the one faffing about with spreadsheets trying to budget for food, petrol, chilcare etc, but is the one p1ssing it all up a wall.

    Happy Birthday, Glam! :bdaycake:

    Its my sister's 40th today. I was supposed to be going to Las Vegas next week as someone dropped out but the ticket could not be transferred and the flight was full :(:(:(.

    Good luck to Mr MFD. Sure everything is just fine.

    And Mr Tara too on Friday.

    ETA: and well done clever Becles!!!

    Whoohoo, WM! I would never condone OH's letter getting lost in the post :whistle:

    I know, MFD. I was so gutted at first but my other sister's 40th is in two years time and she is planning New York! :D

    Have fun this afternoon!

    Neither do I. His inability to keep hold of his cash, does now mean that for the 3 qualifying England matches, he will now have to watch them at home. He'd even booked time of work for one of them.
    So that is partly his penance, plus daily rants and sarky comments from about us being skint.

    Will have to stagger my purchases though, as if i've been able to afford them form my month wage. Or else he might get a bit suss. As he knows that a girl he works with got a big payment last week from TC's. I've already told him we'd no chance. So not to get his hopes up. Sneaky, oh yes!

    Nice one WM. I think you should hold some back for a treat for yourself too from next month's wage of course ;)

    SJ, sorry for not replying last night. DH and I started watching the first 2 episodes Father & Son and it was really good! Thanks for posting the SJ pics but I can't remember which one it was. Why do they always have to meddle when its not necessary?!?

    What like a nice night in a boutique hotel, all by myself. Where i have complete control of the remote control and the bed covers, plus a full nights sleep. :D Oh what heaven that would be.

    SB - :( on Las Vegas but a big Yay for New York. Would love to go there.
