    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Things here never change much, i'm still always moaning and nothing has changed, but it will! I am in the mood for a battle and the council WILL take me seriously, eventually! They didn't even bother replying to my letter, goons!! A & C are lovely but i can't keep up with Amber she is now a pain in the bum getting more mobile and getting frustrated and crying lol! She commando crawls and can do some impressive speeds when she spots something she isn't allowed hehe!! C is back at school in 8 days, can't wait!! Lol

    Thanks MM, pregnancy a bit on the hard side but no drama, and yes E is as adorable as ever :p can you give us your own update please and I shall read it in the morning when I get up!

    Night all!


    hmmmm update ... cant remember what all has happened since I was last on !!
    Work has been very very busy, but I am off at the minute on some well deserved holidays.
    Jasmine is now in primary 4 which I think is Year 3 ?? for you lot :p lol So that means she is now in school till 3pm instead of 2pm nad she thinks this is the best thing ever !!! She has grown so much in the last year .. we had to pretty much dump all of her clothes and go shopping for a whole new wardrobe !! Shopping with my darling daughter is not my idea of a fun day out !! :rotfl:

    Dylan has been coming on sooooo much lately !! He is a totally different little boy :o He feeds himself al kinds of finger foods now .. still doesnt have enough muscle control to work a spoon but thats not an issue at all .. he is blabbering away but has no words yet but has started lifting his hands above his head and going ugh ugh if he wants lifted !! :cool: he has me wrapped round his little finger !!
    He has been discharged fromt he OT as they feel his fine motor skills are coming on so well that they cannot add any more for him so thats good and the physios are happy to keep him on weekly as he is improving so much at the minute .. hydro ever week and physio every other week. He can pull himself to standing on anything he gets his hands on and can do a few side steps .. we are trying to teach him to stand not holding on to anything at the minte .. that is NOT fun !! He keeps falling over and banging his head !! :o I know its not funny .. but if you saw his wee face of shock you would have to laugh too :rotfl:

    Ummmm not sure what else to tell really .. all is well and happy :D
    The two best things I have done with my life

    Chuffing hell SM - You've done brilliantly! I don't think there are any pics that show me at my fattest, but I know size 24 trousers didn't fit me (all my weight goes round t'gut) I was over 17 stones like :eek: My bmi was in the morbidly obese.

    This is why I don't get this surgeon thing, they sent me a letter sayiing that you had to have a BMI of 27 OR recurring infections due to the skin OR have lost a significant amount of weight - 5 stone plus.

    I have lost over 5 stones and I get recurring infections in my belly button, but apparently its just BMI they do now which is a load of codswallop, they totally aren't taking into account my insanely abnormal muscly calves that boots wont even fit over (and looks worse cause I have skinny little ankles then they just EXPAND) and my bigish boobs.

    Bah!

    Glad to hear Jasmine and Dylan are doing well MM :D :wave: Hello btw :D
  • I live about a 30 minute drive from Chester, houses here are a lot more reasonable than either Manchester or Chester.

    I'm a Mancunian born and bred, but house prices brought us here and having some of my family nearby influenced our decision.

    Hello MM, Dylan is doing so well, chuffed for you. Jas sounds like she's having the time of her life at school
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    dreams do come true (eventually!)

    My boobs are a bit like that, if the bra is slightly loose the skin looks crinkly and chicken skinesque, it's horrid! I did enquire about a boob lift but they are apparently harder to get than a tummy tuck. I don't like showing my boobs, I keep them firmly under wraps.

    Seriously SM, i found it very easy to get my tummy tuck, it depends on your primary care trust I think but when I went to the surgeon last time he said just get your bmi at 27 and your on the waiting list.

    I just went to my doctor, elaborated a smidge :p and she referred me to the plastic surgeon and that was it!
  • OH BM did you get accepted for surgery ?? Brilliant !! Have you got a date to go for it yet ??
