  • Evening all, not caught up properly but did spy some gorge pix :). Hope everyone is well xx

    Well day 2 of me staying at home whilst our patio is being done, it's almost finished, they are just coming back tomorrow to do the pointing as started peeping it down today. Well pleased with it and our dog is already loving stretching out on it :). Can't wait to take T out there to play in his ball pit thing.

    We are thinking T is close to crawling which I'm excited and scared about lol!!

    I might hate you just a little bit. :(

    (Does that mean you have to send all your bits/accessories you've already had back?)
    SORRY :( I thought of you when i was on the phone to them lol, they said they will pick up the red items and replace them when they drop everything off. I usually get a text to say my order has been despatched but ive not had anything so who knows???
    Is £80 mega cheap for a second hand Phil and Ted's with toddler seat? There's one on my local net mums and I am so tempted.
    I would say it was cheap if its a sport but about right if its the older style. i did like the P&T but honestly prefer the Jane Powertwin

    BM how did the interview go???

    Erin is in 12-18 month clothes and she is 18 months and nowhere near big enough for the next size, she is a little chub but is usually in the size below her age group and always has been.

    Cant believe Andrew is 1 next week!!!! did your documentary get aired yet?
    What's for you won't go past you

  • Evening all..

    I did start to catch up, but there were too many pages, and I want to go have a bath instead (I don't have a posh phone like some people to enable me to multi task MSE and bathtime ;) ). I did get this far though

    I was. I did more household jobs in the week after Alice was born than I did in two months before she was born. OH used to take time off from work to drive me to my midwife appointments which were 4-5 minutes walk away depending on how long it took to cross the road. He was even washing my hair for me. I am very grateful for the internet because it meant I could buy almost everything we needed for Alice online.

    I'm not completely organised - I'm still short of five Christmas presents. I have got birthday presents for my brothers though. Last time it was their 21st birthday. I got OH to make some biscuits and then he made them birthday cards. He used felt tip pen to draw a picture of the biscuits he had made on the front - I was very embarrassed but fortunately they were both too polite to comment or complain.

    This made me :rotfl:. I don't know why (other than I've not even THOUGHT of Christmas presents yet... I will start making lists soon and I thought I was early organised!

    And i'm crossing my fingers for you too.

    I've had a busy busy day today. Came home to a sleepy sleepy girl so she went to bed nice and early (but not before I got some lovely cuddles, and some cheeky time!). We were up at 5:30, and she didn't nap very well aparently, so not surprising she was tired. I'm hoping for a relative lie in, but that may be wishful thinking. As long as it is after 6am I don't mind too much!

    I hope everyone else is ok!

    EA is she skinnier cause she grew taller? I find Molly grows like a caterpillar - she gets a bit tubbier then goes longer.

    No :rotfl: I bet you're all thinking I'm stringing you along :rotfl: It's been retitled, currently called "Cherry Has A Baby" (though that might change again), and it's on BBC3 in September, we hope. I'll post when I have a confirmed date.

    It is going to be very strange seeing myself pregnant and then seeing how small Andrew is compared to now. I bet I end up in floods of tears :o

    Just email them next time - they send you a voucher.


    We are liking the 03 Sport (it is black with orange head pad and strap pads) but it is so big and bulky compared to the Stokke!!

    Very pleased though :T

    bonsoir

    busy day in the life of Glam.

    Ended up with the woman I manage shouting at me and accusing me of all sorts because she was interfering in a meeting between me and my manager and I politely asked her to stop. She's going to complain about me tomorrow but what she doesn't know is that she's in deep doo doo for the initial interference and my boss has no problems with how I handle it *wipes sweat off brow*

    THEN, picked J up from creche and his little dribbly chin spots have gone all crusty and weepy so trip to the docs for some antibiotic cream. He says it 'Peri-dontal infected ezcema'. Good job cos creche thought it might be Impetigo :eek:

    Didn't get home til 7pm.

    Some gorgeous babies online tonight

    Hoping we have some :j for Susan in a week or so.

    AF arrived here on Saturday so I've now officially started the pill :eek:

    Off to whip some butt on the playstation :cool:

    ETA - EA, when they get active they do start to lose weight plus Lily is at the age when weight will start to slow down.

    Jack is in 4+ nappies cos he pees like a racehorse and the 4's just don't cut it. He's 11 months old and is in 6-9 months trousers, 9-12 are a tad too long but 9-12 tops fit him fine. He's a chunky little monkey but a shortie like me!

    Where does the time go? :think:
  • I too am terrified of sun damage to my little blondie but I am not in the slightest worried about hypothetical perverts and propriety wouldn't cross my mind!

    Ditto!

    I have heard male friends say that they would be reluctant to help a naked child (if they were lost or in water etc) in case any accusations were made, which is sad but understandable.

    Well I didn't want to say anything, but :rotfl:.

    I can't wait till it's on and we get to see you and amazing Andrew. I going to tell everyone I 'sort of' know you :D.

    New series of One Born Every Minute is being filmed in September.
