There's another RHCP album? Didn't even know they were making another! Used to love the Chillies, but I'm much more of a Foo's girl now!

And OMG, baby just fluttered loads against my cervix! Little monkey, it's not coming out just yet! Think I can feel it fluttering around a bit more too!

 

[Rees]

Rach - I hope Xander enjoys his clean start today

 

[Cherrybinky]

Thanks Leigh X He's been very good so far!

Yep, RHCP new album is on pre release at the moment and is called Im With You. Pete has ordered it with his gig ticket. Hes rather excited. They have a new single out right now already called The Adventures of Raindance Maggie.

I prefer the Foos too but Im a Goo Goo Dolls and Theory of a Deadman woman

I don't listen to much music, either I'm at home and Tegs is watching TV or we're doing something together, or I'm at work and listen to pissing commentary all day long "and trap 1 is coming up on the inside, and OH! trap 5 has gone into trap 4" etc.....

Can't believe the time, I've been sat on here for ages and now it's time for the build up to the Grand Prix, none of us are dressed yet either! Oh well, lazy Sunday mornings I wanted a lovely lunch, something nice and filling, like a roast or something, and now it looks like it'll be tuna pasta, oh well I'm looking forward to my tea - honey roast ham and applewood smoked cheese in lovely tiger bread, mmmmm! (Had to have 2 sarnie's yesterday for my lunch they were so good!)

Oh seasider idk i must be way off...just seen him a couple of times on motd and he was always going on about what a great achievement it was to be playing the big clubs...maybe im thinking of someone else - but hey its your team and im sure you know! From now on i wont be nice about him hehe! OH supports Birmingham City so in for a shitty season this year...and dont talk about crappy managers when ours deserted us to the enemy lol! xxx

I love some of RHCP music and would have loved to see them in concert...but its up here in november so lo will be very young and i wouldnt wanna leave her. Im not a massive fan of anyone in particular like such a wide range of music.

Sounds cute dressing the babies up ...what a cute name Kit Pirate...super cool!

Glad the kids are being good today ..so far ..fingers crossed it stays that way, kick pete off the play station ...wasnt he on it yesterday too? Men grrr! x

Id sell the stuff you've been given and dont want and buy something you like for lo. I dont expect to receive a massive amount of gifts from ppl so i will buy what i want and if we receive any money once baby is here i will put it in a savings account for her.

Gotta dash and assist the hubby x

Wow,so much gossip to catch up on!!

Helen- Yay for the blue bump

Rach-Hope you have a better day today chick!Maybe he was having an off day?

Leigh-Yay for the new house! sounds fab,though i dont envy you having to move! I've only done it once and that was a bloody nightmare!
As for Holloway,yes i know he's not too well thought of in Plymouth,but he has done a very good job for us so can't complain too much!He did say when he got us promoted that his biggest regret was leaving Plymouth as he has let all his morals go out of the window when he did that.

Jayne-Brum are in the same boat as us then-relegated to the championship!Though i'm not really too bothered!Had a fab year last season,now we're back to normal!

Think thats everyone but soo much to catch up on!

I was VERY tempted to book tickets for the RHCP but decided it was a bit too close to due date for comfort.I lurvve them too! Although my fave band is either Metallica or The Foo's.

Well the meal last night actually turned out ok...the mother was already half pissed when we showed up,and paraded me around the "family" (most of who i haven't seen since i was 9!).
The hotel was a little bit too posh for us,but the food was nice!The kids were not impressed though(it was deffo not kids menu type place although my mum told me they had childrens menus!)they had a choice of nuggets or sausage with chips!! didnt like the starter menu and none of the desserts!Luckily the manager mustered up a bowl of ice cream.

Forgot to say-my mum(drunk)had a go at me for already having most of the baby stuff....she said well you could have waited i wanted to buy some stuff too,now i've been left out!I have had 3 other kids in the last 14 years and she offered to buy nothing......was i supposed to guess she was actually going to bother this time??

Anyways-off to watch the grand prix,c'mon Lewis!!!

Hello, I've been a busy bee and feel like I've missed loads on here again!

Congrats to Helen on finding out you're having a boy! I'm very excited to have a boy!

Congrats to Jayne on third trimester!! That is so exciting! After V ay next week, that will be my next milestone! Jayne sorry to hear you had a rotton day, I advise the same as the others, probably best not rock the boat by mentioning the money thing! Peeps can be very sensitive about that sort of thing and no matter what they will think you're jealous, thats just the way folks are, when money is mentioned. I totally understand where you're coming from tho, money is not the 'be all and end all' at the end of the day its people/loved ones that make you happy!

Rach, Awww you had a tough day too. Rest assured I think you're doing a great job with Petes kids! I know, I don't know you very well, but I think we've about got the measure of each other now and I can understand becuase I know the sort of person you have to be to take on someone else's kids like you have! Mark has been the same with Holly an yes you do have ups and downs, but I'm sure you don't need me to say that Xander will love you incredibly becuase you're there for him, through the ups and the downs, its all part of testing each other! And never doubt yourself, I'm sure motherhood will come as a breeze (you've had some practice) and I agree with your style of parenting, I too am strict with Holly, I was when she was going through the 'terrible twos' and it worked, she's such a good girl now, she knows exactly where she stands and what she can/can't get away with! Ha! Watch it all fall apart now I've said that!

Hi Amy, hi Leigh, hi Chris :wave:

Well I over did it massively yesterday, Marks been working so Holly and I have spent two days constructing flat pack furniture and after several hours and (ashamed to say) some tears (on my part) its all finished! So the nursery is getting there now. It needs finishing touches, like shelving, a matress, decorations for the walls, a blind and bedding etc, but you get the idea. I'll post some piccys, you'll have to excuse the conservatory (that attaches the nursery) its our only storage area, as we have no loft and no garage!

Speak soon Han Xxx

 

[pink sparkle]

i didnt realise you got relegated too, shows how much i know i thought Blackpool stayed up! I dont think birmingham will get promoted this season though...sorry hubby!

Your mum sounds like a real nightmare! Im sure that if she really wanted to buy something theres still things she could buy but defo agree with you in that shes never bothered before!

Rees the house does sound lovely...if theres a link you will have to post it so we can be nosey! Fingers crossed you get it and the move happens quickly and smoothly x

Grand prix ...mmm not that keen i will watch it with dh luckily hes not around atm ...but saying that im stuck with the disney channel...im not a lewis fan...not sure why just summat about him that im not keen on ...i much prefer Jenson Button infact Jenson would have made by shortlist had i been having a boy x

Im soooooo bored! I want to go shopping but want hubby to come too but he doesnt want to dont fancy it on my own with two kids moaning x

Baby Roscoe's Nursery...Part 1

So first ones, clearing the room, its only small 8.5ft x 9ft.

First coat of blue goes up (god I really hope he is a BOY)

 

[pink sparkle]

Han - me and flatpack furniture are not a good mix either...well done for doing it though i would have just waited and left dh to do it...mind you he wouldnt have let me near it tbh he knows what an awful job i would do! Look forward to seeing your pics...very jealous that i dont have a nursery to decorate this time going to have to make do with giving the living room and hallway a clean up before lo arrives x

 

[Tizy]

Baby Roscoe's Nursery...Part 2

More blue paint! And a rather unsightly picture of me! Looking quite preggers, that was two weekends ago!

Carpet down!

Beginning the furniture erection! Awww Holly's face says it all!

 

[pink sparkle]

Great bump looks like you have a big boy in there x

Ahh bless Holly for helping you out x

 

[Tizy]

Baby Roscoe's Nursery...Part 3

Lastly, me finishing off the furniture.

Putting things in place, Mama's and Papa's wardrobe, Second hand cot (from a relative) and the Mama's and Papa's baby changer drawer unit.

The pics were taken on my iphone and they've come out a bit dark, its a lot brighter than that.

Things I would like now, By Carla cot bedding and bumpies (childrens multi coloured hand prints), 'Roscoe' wooden blocks on the wall above cot (in white) and a few other bits and pieces.

 

[Tizy]

Haha Jayne - a big boy in there! Hmmm well all was measuring spot on a 20 week scan, but Holly was on the larger size at 8lb 6oz! Hopefully he won't be bigger than that!

As for the flat pack furniture, well how can I put it lightly, Marks forte is NOT decorating/fixing things!! So I'm the one who controls the drill in this house that sounds a bit rude! Therefore it was either Mark and I putting up furniture, in which case, there would be lots of frustration and probably an argument or Holly and I doing it! The latter was preferable! Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Leigh - exciting news about the house. Is it online anywhere we can have a nose?

Rach - glad the kids are being less shitty, hope you had a nice rest today.

No1seasider - just...gah! Families!!

Han - thats rly nice nursery furniture. Did you decide on a blind?

Ive been making transfers for baby grows. can see them on https://www.flickr.com/photos/helenshingler/5994218226/ Have two more to do but I got bored, our iron is so crap it took 5 times longer than it should to transfer.

Also someone on facebook said I was treating baby like a product for dressing it in logos. wtf. a) not like its nike and hotpoint and b) stfu

Rich watching f1 now, perfect time for a snooze, the droning always puts me to sleep

Morning girls!

Jayne, congrats on 3rd trimester!!! Not long at all now!

Rachel, sorry Xander was being awful! Glad he's things are going better today!

Leigh, glad you found a place you love! It's gotta be hard to try and move and pack and all that when you're pregnant. Good luck with it. I hope you'll have lots of help!

Han, love the nursery! We're going to paint blue, but a real pale blue. Kinda like sky blue. I meant to clean out the room and closets more this weekend, but it just didn't happen. I've GOT to get on that next weekend.

Helen, I love the iron-ons! Nick saw a shirt the other day that says I Crawl the Line, and he's already said we have to order it.

The birthday party was fine, but way too hot. We did have a good time at the wedding though. It was indoors thankfully! And the reception was gorgeous! But now we found out there's one of Nick's cousin's kids birthday party this afternoon. And they're doing the exact same thing: big water slide and outdoor party at 3 this afternoon. Seems to me like since the boys are cousins and only a week apart in birthdays, they would just have a joint party, especially since they're doing the exact same party one day after the other. And it's going to be mostly the same people at this party, too. Oh well, guess I'll be anti-social at this one, too. It's just too hot!

 

[sunshine623]

Here's a pic of me and Nick at the wedding and a side view of me where I finally actually look pregnant!

 

[cranberry987]

Hehe, yeah I nicked all the ideas off cafepress and etsy ^^ Theyre like £14 each to buy tho. I bought a pack of paper for £8 (will do 40 transfers), and a pack of 7 white babygrows for like £3. Easy peasy, ish...

 

[Tizy]

Awww Amy you look lovely,cute pic of you and nick! Don't envy you in that heat at all, get yaself a nicecold drink and stay indoors!

Helen, I went for the navy blue blind in the end, think it will match nicely.

I love the ninja baby grow you made! Thats well cute!

Han Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]
