How is Mrs Bruno? X

Hi Tara, thanks for asking She is very disabled by pregnancy! Last night's dinner out and walk to the restaurant left her literally having to lean on me to make it to the toilet that night...:eek:
Better this morning but then we went for a walk on the common - very gentle but still walked a mile or so - after which she had to sleep for 3 hours
She is ok. Maternity support girdle thing very good - LaFeeNoire was the site I think should anyone ever care.

Charlotte is getting a bike which is £80, then she'll need a helmet too - tenner-ish?! I bought my niece a play dough set for £13.99 and she's been looking at it longingly so I'll probably get her one of those, then the usual bits and bobs - hair clips, books, sweets etc.

The boys are getting laptops each. I've organised those as a joint present with various relatives putting cash towards them. They do a lot of homework online and their PC broke down, so it's making life difficult as they keep fighting over my laptop. They'll just get bits and bobs in their stockings - books, sweets, stationary etc.

I don't understand why that thread in the Arms was locked - nor why people feel so strongly about this thread? I dived right into the pregnancy thread, not knowing anyone (and not being a huge poster; mostly a lurker and sticking to Comps & O/S!), and then 'graduated' over here. Never felt excluded or on the outside. I think people who DO tend to feel like don't quite understand how internet forums work - they are entirely organic things! I've been on forums for eons now, so maybe that represents a different attitude for whom MSE may be their first real regular place. *shrug*

Moving on! Little man is in bed after refusing his afternoon nap for some bizarre reason (so of course was then grumpy all afternoon, hmph). Am hoping can convince DH to partake in some Glee watching .

I've bought S a puzzle £3, a vtech baby time centre £25, a elc garage £25, a toy work bench, car transporter and train £28 for the 3. And a play tent £10. I might save some for his birthday... Ooops!!

I though early shopping was meant to be MSE!! :rotfl:

Aww bless, , I spent the last 10wks or so in bed most of the day. How on earth is she coping with a toddler? She certainly has had it tough. (and you) Must admit, wasn't exactly the glorious blooming experience I was expecting. Hope you have some support?

Oh dear, seems I'm a very old fashioned tight fisted Mummy. We're worried about our financial future at the moment, knew this was gonna happen after the election result. *sob*

The thread has always been confusing, we cover a real cornucopia of goodies here
I quite like the idea of my DS hair-twirling, maybe I wouldn't like it so much in RL Definitely not 'just a phase'? He might just stop any time?

Definitely a cornucopia!
I'm hoping it IS just a phase but I'd rather nip it in the bud. ANd I've left him with it all tangled up (evil mother too ) to try putting him off but even brushing out the tangle hasn't got the message through...

Perhaps I just need to keep his scooter helmet on in between trips out... :rotfl:

tarajayne

What about one of those swimming caps....

joke of course!

I think partly because people who've posted here tell others it's cliquey for one, but also because it moves so quickly that people either don't feel adequately responded to or they get missed. Even regular posters sometimes feel a bit that something they've said was ignored; it must be even more so for new posters.

Having said that, I did feel like it was a bit like graduating to big school from the pregnancy thread.
