    MOTM, if I was into girls I'd want to be with Christina Ricci. And I can understand Lucy's reticence - but boobs can even be improved by breastfeeding - she just needs to be wearing well fitting bras from now.

    I don't even know who that is - is that wrong of me? :o

    Will she need to keep buying Bra's regularly from now in? I'm guessing so as they are going to grow even more for the next 9 months.

    My list would be too long and my girls would tell me off for being into women twice their age and call me sick or something :( Apparently i'm meant to be fancying the likes of Girls Aloud or it means i'm old :cool:

    Erm....when was the last time you had Jaffa Cakes? I've read that as you weren't expecting it and maybe it's been a while since you washed the cup :rotfl:

    Sorry, just catching up.

    SM I took your advice and confronted OH this morning about his smelly breath, he told me it was smoky bacon monster munch!!! I didn't fall for that one so then he admitted he had been 'bored' while waiting at a train station and had one. I told him he was not to touch Erin if he had another and he has promised not to. I also told him to throw the rest of the pack out with the rubbish which he says he has done. I will be keeping an eye on him from now on but seen as he doesn't lie well I think I'll know if he does. He also said part of the reason was stress at work so I think we need to sit down and have a chat but I've come down with a fever today and have a horrible headache so I think I will leave it until I'm feeling better. At least we had a nice day going to see Toy Story (didn't cry at all) and shopping (Ikea and boots), I was freezing though even though it was 24 or 25 degrees!

    SM, what time should I aim to get to/leave Birmingham so I can book train tickets. I will arrive at New Street as well.

    I'm off to bed now, night all.

    glad you talked it out .. stress usually gets me tempted to go and buy a pack so i totally understand (plus where i work nearly everyone smokes which can make it very hard indeed) ...

    i was thinking around 11am ... that ok with everyone? ...

    i'll pm you my number later just sorting out for london tomorrow .. ver hectically busy at the mo x
    :)Still searching .....:)

    All three have had a jaffa cake after tea. I'm blaming the smallest one because she often dips thing in my tea, or drops her dummy into my tea as a nice suprise.

    MOTM, apparently well-fitting bras are a key to avoiding saggy boobs later in life, HOWEVER it's probably most genetics ;) But every woman should wear a well-fitting bra regardless of pregnancy or no. ;)

    Glam, is Jack doing better? I read he had HFM but not how he was doing now! :o Likewise, how is David, hammy? Catching up on a week's worth of posts made my brain fall apart the other day :p.

    oh and Bizziebaby have just sent me 15 Plum Baby puches of food to test for Bizziebaby - definitely had my £5's worth! Only trouble is they are 7m and seem abit too blended. Ah well, they'll do for trips out.

    Can you mix them with anything to make other meals ie lumpier?

    Which reminds me MOTM dont forget to look for the list of clubs to join... someone will probably remember the link...thought it was on the front page?

    Happy Birthday Kindof! I am glad E is all smiley for our birthday, but I totally agree that it is horrible when they are genuinely upset like that.

    I actually find this quite worrying as I was really surprised when I read the first bit of this about E dropping to the 50th centile, given what you have said about his weight and size. I'm disappointed that the HV wasn't surprised enough to re-check! I appreciate they see loads of babies each clinic, but you'd think they'd have some idea of what is roughly average and what is above/below. BTW Henry is a 75th centile baby and has been since birth :D. It's the way to go :rotfl:(said tongue in cheek just in case any misreads my tone).

    I know it was horrible poor guy

    I know, and the annoying thing was there was only E and another baby there so its not like they were rushed off his feet!

    I think he's gaining weight just fine, he hasnt been weighed for 4 weeks and he is 16lbs 1oz which I think is fine lol, the 75th line does rock lol

    [gill_uk]He started to smile and DH laughed (just like normal, pretty quiet) and Thomas jumped, then the pet lip appeared and he started cryig :( Poor DH was a bit upset by it I think. I gave him to DH for cuddles and he fell asleep on him so I think he's just knackered after his early start and he's asleep in his swing now. He keeps pulling sad faces tho so I hope he wakes up in a happier mood.
    [/quote]

    E does that bless him lol, I sneezed once and the pet lip came out and he started crying lol, most the time when he falls asleep in a whingy mood he wakes up ok (I know the post is prob not relevant now lol)

    I find Pampers Baby dry the best, we've had no leaks at all and he's had some major runny poo's

    Also if you need me to get you a NUFC kit/romper suit or whatever then just tell me :)

    RE birthday wishes off everyone, thanks :) we went to town and had a wagamamas and then to see toy story 3, it was awesome

    She is fitted well as she gets it professionally done, but it's a case of how often she needs to be checked whilst pregnant?

    That's another thing I was going to ask, but forgot - my memory is really shocking! All sorts of baby clubs and supermarket baby clubs to possibly join...and if they are any good.

    Thanks for reminding me!

    Off to watch the darts with my girls - we use it for education purposes with all the numbers and all that, which is proving really useful.

    Have a nice evening everyone and chat soon.

    ETA - I had to edit because i'd forgotten to type the word 'memory' - :rotfl: Plum.
