    oh what a shame sami - they've just announced the winner of the smart trike on FB and it's not you :( sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    on a brighter note, well done to GISI :D

    My monster is in bed already - DH raced home tonight did mega quick bedtime routine and then has raced out the door again, whilst throwing me kiss and paper money to buy take-away should that be what my heart desires. I'm wondering if he has a girl-friend :rotfl: Only kidding, but I think he was feeling a bit guilty about not being around much this week. Not his fault as he has been working. But it does mean I'm getting saturday afternoon to myself - I'm going to see Eat, Love, Pray with one of my RL Best friends :D yipeeeeeee.

    GISI, :T :T :T for bras! As soon as I get a job, I'm going to be getting a couple from Brastop, that's for sure. It will so nice not to have to wear ill-fitting, repaired-many-times-because-stupid-wires-keep-poking-out ragged nursing bras during the day! Weight loss becoming more urgent, though, as these bras which were only slightly too small when I got them are now noticeably too small :(.

    Lovely girl, I was thinking of you! I'm not offended at all!

    It's hard to feel attractive after having a baby, I think, and all the more so when you're tired and you've not had time to shower and there's baby sick on your shoulder. OHs should either respect that or take the baby for long enough for their partner to get a shower and clean clothes :angry:

    oh i thought i'd offended you...

    Its not so much smelling of spew etc (am v.lucky in that respect) its my head :rotfl:I know that sounds stupid but most of my body im happy with, the underhang is shrinking back, I'm back at pre preggers weight, boobs havent sagged too low....etc etc although my jeans are bit tight on the thigh LOL Most of my "fugliness" is facial..... my skin is horrid and pasty and pale, and bleurgh, my eyebrows are blonde so i basically look like i havent got any, and Im in desperate need of a proper nice haircut and colour.... plus my make up must all be about 3 years old so i end up looking worse with it than without....

    ok enough moaning now....

    DH is now in a right cob.... it all started with our takeaway order on justeat not going through but them taking payment so by the time he'd found out from the online guy if it had gone through it was 7, and now hes decided its too late because his poker evening at BIL's starts at 8.... so he said about going to chip shop round corner (fine, but I would rather have had my planned chinese)... only for him then to decide (to himself) that its friday night, and will be busy, so hes made imself a pot noodle....no really its fine darling husband, I'll eat my own foot :rotfl:

    I'm ordering dominoes!:T for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *smeagal impression over*

    CAFC - how funny. I've just had my first justeat experience. My order was rejected too - apparently they are too busy. then I got a phonecall from justeat asking if I wanted them to chase it up for me? I explained that it was fine, but they insisted, only to call back 2 mins later and tell me the restaurant was too busy to take my order :rotfl: Oh well...... there isn't another Thai in the area. A littel girl is also making quite a lot of noise, so not sure what i'll do now. Coffee and biscuits look a good option....

    She has obviously jumped on the bed, then the draws and onto the sill to have a good nosey out the window. The cheeky mare.

    Jack keeps getting into trouble for jumping on Charlotte's bed so he can look out her bedroom window.

    Read this early and thought it was a lovely story:

    Wish I'd been there to see the bairns faces. They must have been so surprised.

    As you know we had problems with James and his school work. He came in this evening and he's been awarded the mathematician of the month certificate for the effort he's put into his maths work over the last month. After everything we've been through and I'm absolutely bursting with pride about it.

    He also made choccy chip cookies in tech and they are absolutely gorgeous :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    I piggin hate just eat sometimes.... but I also hate talking on the phone, hence why it was ideal for me...

    This was kinda our fault, sort of, because our internet connection goes off when it feels like it, so it went through all the payment bit but hadnt sent it to the takeaway.

    I ordered twice before at like 20 to 7 after L's bath and it hasnt turned up till after 9, but yet the delivery guys have shown me the order hasnt been sent to them from just eat till like 8pm! Got into a right argument with one guy once about it.....

    Order a dominoes.... I've just ordered a 11.99 meal deal for two, small pizza, garlic bread and coke, the triple cheesecake selection (nom!) and they offered me a free garlic bread or chicken strippers, so a free chicken strippers is winging its way to me too! HUZZAH! For £15.49..... And still all for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
