Wow not a single post all day! What's going on ladies lol!!

Sath I hope you are ok Hun you've been very quiet

Mrs d what kind of cake did you make? Was it yummy?

Cupcake how's Zach been this weekend? When does dh go back to work is it tomorrow?

Cheryl can you believe Emilia is 6 months and Leo nearly is?? How fast has that gone?!! How's weaning coming along for you? Emilia loves sucking on toast and got to grips with a banana today! She's still not actually swallowing anything though lol, not even purées!

Cath hope you are well Hun and the wedding planning is all coming along well!

Fletch don't know if you still read on here every now and again, how's NTNP going? Hope you are finding it more relaxing and you and dh are well

Amy how's the beautiful Emily doing? I love all your pics of her she's such a doll! I love her helping you with the garlic press

Hope everyone else is ok!

I've had such a busy but lovely day! We did a car boot and made £75 with just junk! But the cost was £10 for the stall and we spent £10 on food and really crap coffee so next time I will be more prepared! Plus I caused an issue with traffic on exiting haha, still not a confident driver lol!
Then we went for an Indian buffet meal for df's bday and it was fab, Emilia was so good!! I took toast and a banana and a bottle ready made so I was prepared lol!! She loves her cousins and they were all fussing over her, it was so cute.
And now df has gone out to play pool and I'm chilling with some wine!

What's everyone else been up to?

Hey chick I kno months its flying by. Yeah he's eating about 10 spoonfuls of porridge in the morning veg and fruit at lunch and veg and desert at tea time he's a prope grubber but hav to fight with him with every bottle he hates it. U sound like u hav had a lovely day we went to the shops tomorrow we are going to go swimming. X

 

[baileybubs]

Ooh have you been swimming before? We are going to go this week too whilst df is still off work. I am taking Emilia to a sensory session tomorrow, really looking forward to it (so best not drink too much of this wine tonight haha!). It's df's birthday but I figure we can go as it's 9.45-10.45 and leave him to have a long lie in.

Did you get anything nice when shopping or was it just good shopping? Do you purée all Leo's food? I'm still trying to do BLW but mixing a bit of purées in with it too as there's only so many things I can give her that she can hold so don't want it to get too much of the same (too much toast lol!)

 

[MrsDuck]

I know!! Not a single post

Sounds like you had a good day, well done on the £75 and happy birthday to your df. I was only saying to my hubby yesterday that its a shame we haven't got and buffet Indian or Chinese here I bet that was yummy and aw bless Emilia for being so good

My cake was a Victoria sandwich with half normal and half chocolate with a creamy chocolate filling and choc flakes on top, so naughty

Well we have grated in the food processor loads of apples from my nans garden and then pressed them (I bought hubby a fruit press last Christmas) and we have a Demi-John of pressed juice which hubby is making into cider

I've done a bit of gardening too today, wow it's been hot outside, I can't believe it's October!

 

[MrsDuck]

What if they poo in the pool?

 

[baileybubs]

Lol we have got special swim nappies for Emilia mrs d, don't know how they differ from normal nappies though lol!

Wow that's quite a lot of apple juice for cider! I love proper homemade scrumpy cider! Warm cider is lovely too!
Your cake sounds delish too! Wish I could bake a bit better, I've still not progressed from cupcakes and brownies lol!

 

[baileybubs]

Ooh you're a prune mrs d!

 

[MrsDuck]

Yay I'm a prune too much time spent in the sun

Mmm I love brownies but I always seem to overcook and they just end up being chocolate cake

Must be less absorbent but added nets to catch the lumps

 

[MrsDuck]

Oooh and I went to George and bought a lovely coat and a non wired bra. My boobs seem huge already I got a size bigger 36f but I'm still bursting out of it

 

[baileybubs]

A hahahaha I proper lol'd then, Bailey looked at me like I was crazy lol! Let's hope they work and do catch the lumps, how embarrassing if it didn't??!

 

[baileybubs]

I got mine from George too. Just some comfy bras with no wires, think I looked like I had saggy wearing them but they were comfy haha! That's the problem with big boobs isn't it, everyone used to tell me they were jealous and wish they had bigger boobs like me but now they just seem saggy to me lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

I'll be stuck now though I could only find up to an f cup. This is definitely a disadvantage to having big to begin with. I thought about sports bras but they are too tight really

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah it's impossible to find above an F cup in normal shops isn't it? I hate the fact that when I look for bras I have to look for which styles they have in my size (which are few and far between) rather than see a style I like and get that one! And specialist shops are so expensive!

Yeah sports bras are too tight, I just got comfort bras.

 

[CherylC3]

Lol I use little swimmers. I use sachets and jars now Hun I started with the purée doing my own veg but the jars are easier. Been swimming a few times now awu will love sensory. X

Mrs d yeah or the bras I've got saggy pancakes I defo want a boob job after baby no 2. X

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw saggy pancakes, what will mine be balls in socks

I know, I looked at maternity bras online but so expensive and I don't know how much bigger they are going to get

Do they have a net at the side of the baby pool just in case a lump escapes?

 

[MrsDuck]

I'm normally a 36e so I normally don't have much of a problem off the shelf but I'm going to struggle with 36g's

 

[MrsDuck]

The one I got was marketed as a 'post surgery' bra, it's nice and comfy

 

[baileybubs]

As long as it's comfy mrs d that's all that matters lol. Don't worry they do go back to size, just saggier so even more in need of support lol!

I'm watching Pirates of the Carribean at Worlds End. I love this film! Df is still out, no idea when he'll be home so it's a bit weird, I don't feel like I'd sleep if I went to bed coz I'd just be wondering when he's gonna be home and if he's gonna be drunk and make loads of noise!

 

[baileybubs]

Why are the rules different for mums and dads? When I go on a night out (which is once in a blue moon!) I somehow still end up getting up with Emilia in the morning and suffer a hangover whilst looking after a 6 month old. Last night df for very drunk, kept getting up to be sick so woke Emilia who I had to settle again (thankfully she was very good and went back to sleep after half an hour). He then snored all night and kept waking me, and then I'm the one who gets up with her this morning. I don't mind of course coz she slept til 7am and has been brilliant, but how come I get up with her when I go out but he gets a lie in! Different rules for mums and dads lol!

I'm currently trying to get her to nap before we go to the sensory session, looking forward to it (once I find the place it's at lol!).

What's everyone up to today?

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey whatever the situation mums always end up doing more than dads, it's just the way it is!!

Hubby goes back to work today.....flying solo for the first time got a whole day.....altho my mum will be here at 10:30 lol so not quite alone. She's excited cos she gets to look after him for an hour while I go to the dentist!
