beenie hun, what size are you, if you dont mind me asking?

I'm a 14, which is apparently the national average but i just don't carry it well cos i'm so short.

Been looking everywhere for some shoes today and have come to the conclusion i have fat feet!!
All the strappy sandals i tried on were sooo tight, so i must be a wide fit. (couldn't find any though so lumped for some that i don't even like but i've decided on the black dress so no one will see them).

Oh and i got measured for a bra today and i'm a 38D, and all the bra's i'm wearing are 36C lol, so it felt lovely to wear one that actually fits.

*must diet*

Beenie - I've not been measured since November 07!!!!

Now my parents are back I'm going to drag my butt into Chester to Bravissimo to get re-fitted - I went from a 42B to 36G!

Can I ask if you leave it up all day? I have a Grobag Go Anywhere Blackout Blind which suckers onto the window but because it it a 5 minute job to put it up I am lazy and leave it up all the time. I feel like the neighbours must be talking about the lazy cow who doesn't open her childs curtains A velcro option that I could remove might work better for me if it is easy enough to put up / take down.

!

well I don't always take it down completely, I hook the bottom bits of velcro onto the middle bits which loops it open - but you can still open the window even when its fully up so I sometimes just do that and other times I take it down completely (thats a pest though as I'm not quite tall enough to put it back up without the aid of a chair!:rotfl:

Congratulations! Assuming I'm pregnant I'll be due on the 24th (which is Alice's birthday).

Susan - a tentative congratulations to you. :j Lovely news. I know a family which have two children born on the same day, but three years apart

Mfd, I've got a proper black out blind up with winders... But because it's precariously balanced I don't open it either lol...

My friends haven't opened the blinds to their nursery room since their son was born... He's the same age as Aimee...

Jack went off to sleep on his own and it only took 16 put downs! :T

I read the Baby Whisperer again today and I don't think the CC is suitable as he's still having a bottle in the night so need to work on that before I do the getting off on his own.

HOWEVER, determined not to let him sleep on me I stayed in his room and every time he stood up, I lay him back down. Did it 8 times and he fell asleep but his creaky door woke him up so did it another 8 times and the door woke him again when I went to leave but he settled OK. :j

Just got the night bottle to work on now (he dropped it for a week then started again *rollseyes*)

The WD40 will be coming out tomorrow!

Will try the velcro thing thanks mac!

I got fitted before I went back to work - 34D but I'm convinced boobs are bigger after a week on pill plus I am still bleeding so no more pill for Glam

Will sort out getting the diaphragm otherwise I'll end up joining Krystal, MOTM & Pinkpig

Im gonna be on the lookout for a fellow midget round Darlo then

Peacocks had a nice maxi dress, which length wise was fine for me, am 5ft 1, but it was a boob tube one which you might not be comfy with....

Darlo is really pants for shoes.... not that ive got the £ to spend on shoes.....

And I really should get measured as well, my back is killing me lately and Im sure its because I've got pants all support, and none of my bras feel like they fit well.....

Ive totally mucked up Landens routine, he fell asleep at about half 7, when i was planning on bathing him, and hes been so grizzly and stuffed up with this cold that I was loathed to wake him, so I've left him to sleep :eek: I'm sure I'm gonna pay for it tonight....

ETA - The day late poo occured as well..... was a honker.... Landen seemed very happy with himself

Highly productive day today ... while tidying I found a wrapped present - Husband bought me a Wii game for Christmas last year and lost it. It's the active personal trainer, which I really wanted, but it's in German and I asked for an English one it might have an English option, but if I open it to test it then we can't take it back. Which to be fair we probably can't anyway because it's almost a year old

I just wish he'd think sometimes. I love that he got me something I really wanted, and that he claimed he was spreading my gifts out through the year, but something I can't use is really not ideal.

I have a winding black out blind for Katie, we've had to mount it on a wooden baton though as our walls just above the windows are impossible to drill we have to be careful opening so we don't pull it off.

It does means there's a gap around the edge but it doesn't seem to bother Katie much, as she had the same in our room for the same reason.

Her blind is a pretty pink and ours is dull and boring beige.

Be back in a bit just need to put Dorothy to bed.

According to google maps coming via Stoke Train Station only adds 10 mins onto my journey and is the same number of miles pretty much so would be no problem at all. I'm guessing it will be the same for anyone coming from the M6
