    We are very jealous of haircuts! Can we have before and after pictures please?


    We actually had a lovely time this morning with an hour to just play together (hubby was away last night so it was just the 2 of us). Benjamin helped me to change the bed which was tons of fun - especially running from one end of the bed to the other and bouncing on it when it was unmade :D

    Also had a chance to stay for a while at the CM's. She was saying that Benjamin has started getting his changing mat when he has done a poo and if he hasn't done a poo and she changes his nappy he says 'No Poopies' :T:T:T

    Benjamin sounds so cute.

    We have been for the haircut - it took all of 5 minutes! I'm not sure it looks much different TBH, but it is a bit neater. I'll ask DH when he comes home from work whether he thinks it looks different and if he does, I'll post pics, but I have a feeling it'll be a case of spot the difference between the before and after pictures :rotfl:

    Baby news
    Managed to put T in her cot last night at 9pm and we managed to watch nearly a whole film together....on our own, she just woke near the end for a feed and then went straight back to sleep:)

    xx

    Hi Mel, long time no speak. That sounds like great progress. How is everything with you?


    Ooh missed that. Congrats on the anniversary. Hope you had a nice day. Do anything romantic?

    It's exciting times. Just a few weeks until that scan :)
    Elle only knew about it from FaceBook, I hadn't mentioned it on here. Maybe I didn't come on here on Monday, I'm not sure now :cool:

    We went out for a meal last Friday (three days early!) because we were busy over the weekend with other things. We went to a Vietnamese place, and it was lovely. DH and I aren't keen on really hot food, and some of it was a little too spicy for us (lots of fresh chillies) but everything else was lovely.

    3 - No i haven't been to search for bargain nappies...however I am off to asda shortly because we need baby milk, sleepsuits for T (she has outgrown 0-3mths, already!!!!) and school uniform stuff...I also need to stock up on some more diet food;)

    MFD - Ah right, I understand about the sleepsuits now:) BTW can I just randomly ask....I imagine you are on cruise...how many days of each are you doing? 1/1 like suggested in the book? I am due to start cruise tomorrow, well it should be tomorrow buyt I might do another two days on attack;)

    Hi choppy:)

    hings are ok here, well getting better anyway.....

    Hectic and expensive atm with the school holidays. A poorly non-sleeping toddler and a non-sleeping baby are making for long tired days too;)

    How are you?

    Wow, that is cheap MFD.

    I'm not sure I'd go for it. On one hand it's a new seller, no feedback, only one available, and no other products for sale. They also don't list their refund policy. On the other hand, I guess it could be worth a punt and it could be that the person has just joined the market place to sell that one item and there's nothing dodgy about it at all.

    Maybe you could contact them and do a bit of digging?

    If it's all legit, what a bargain!
  • Mel - I am doing attack Mon-Thurs and then Cruise Fri-Sun (well actually more like Fri evening to Sun because I have only had protein today!)

    It just fits in with my lifestyle this way. It means that when I am with the kids at the weekends I can eat similar-ish stuff and I have partaken in the odd gin and slim (or 2 ;)).

    The reason to go into cruise is that on attack the weight loss slows so a few days of cruise and then you can give your body a kick start with attack again :D


    Hubby has been on permanent cruise since his initial 4 days of attack and has still lost roughly the same as me. His was mostly beer related though so no beer was bound to equal a drop in his weight.


    I am still 6lb heavier than I was when Benjamin was 8 weeks old :( but I will get there eventually.

    Oh no, I missed that K was poorly Mel.

    You must be shattered :-(

    I honestly don't know how you do it with four. We've been talking on and off about number 2 and I'm not sure I'm ready yet. The memories of the non-stop crying and no sleeping early days are still too fresh :o
