Waula - elephant foot!!!! Never heard anyone else call them that, everyone always looks at me funny!!! Now I want one

WT - OMG loving the frohawk!!! Adorable.

Loo - mega bloody exciting gal!!! Incredible weight loss too hon, weigh to go (geddit!) :wink:

FT - I too really want a adult size tub to dunk in, too muggy!

Lozza - go Z!!! Now give your momma another few hours sleep tonight you good lad!

Cuppie - sorry about your dream house hon. You'll find the one soon for sure.

Mitch - so glad you're enjoying CP - gorgeous pic of M in beautiful yellow dress, love it!!

Ummmm, there was more but had a trying day today. Love A so much but was quite happy when I'd finally managed to put her to bed!!! Fingers crossed she lasts as our chavvy next door neighbours are having yet another BBQ (their 3rd in 3 evenings...what are they, cave people?!) And are shouting and generally being ass-holes. I will light a BBQ at weekend as soon as she puts out laundry as 3 loads of mine have been smoked out this week...oops sorry ranty nic there...and reeelaaax...

Here's hoping the sttn fairy visits us all.... yeah right!!

Love you all loads xxxx

I'm so excited by the Olympics. Got a sling from my local sling library today specially as we're taking A to the canoe sprint! Yay!

A will last about twenty minutes happily or a bit longer in a really warm pool with some cuddles and floating about. Fun!

Waula, glad your oh is being ace. Mine has pissed me off but enough Sadi, he made dinner so,it's all ok.

 

[lozza1uk]

Yep I'm excited about the olympics! The road cycling goes past my sisters front door so were heading there Friday night as the roads close at 4am sat and watching it there and having a BBQ. Hoping to chalk a message on the road if I can, maybe I'll mention the march mamas!! I've got tickets to the modern pentathlon but it's ages away, on te last day. Hoping for a growth spurt then I can spend all days in front of the tv watching it. It will also be the first time i leave z though to go and watch, scary. DH thinks if will be too busy and doesn't want him going (more so as he's not coming)

Nic - annoying neighbours, hope you get your own back.
Laura - that blog post was really nice, I'll try and remember when I'm 2 hours into a settle.
Waula - Z's swimming lessons are just under half an hour, he can cope with it now but used to get a bit grumpy after 20 mins. He loves it now though, no water swallowed under water at all today!

 

[waula]

Nothing more satisfying than hearing a mosquito screaming in your room...then finding the massive thing and despatching it. Hideous things feasting on my ankles over night.
I too am planning on a LOT of feeds sat watching the Olympics! Exciting about you lads with tickets!
Night night all xx

[waula]

N not even lasting thre hours between feed tonight. Excellent. Tired.com
Underwater swimming sounds like a lot of fun Lozza!
No camilia used here herbal mouse! Glad it worked though...

[Skadi]

We use Camilia here City. I'm not quite convinced but it seems like it works. Either that or its nice and sweet and tricks her!

Found more wasps in my backyard. 3 nests to be exact so it is off limits. Grrrr.

I got her glider and ottoman put together finally and in her room. I kind of love it.

 

[Sillysmiles]

Loo- So exciting about all the wedding plans, the wedding moon sounds like lots of fun!

WT- such a cute frohawk, so much hair!

Ft- I'm impressed that you have the energy for the 30 day shred, amazing. I'm tired out when I manage to go out for a long walk.

Lozza- we definitely have the nursing fussiness going on, I guess give up and try again later, I think when she's finally hungry enough is when she actually eats, so about twice today. It's a bit frustrating.

Waula - Sorry the photo shoot was a disaster. The rest of the day sounds pretty amazing though. Also mosquitos, ugh. I'm so glad there really aren't many of them where I live now. It makes me laugh when people here complain about them.

City- I've never heard of Camilia, what is it suppose to do?

Can't remember what else I was going to say. D hasn't wanted to be set down really at all today, so it has been a long day. Dh took her for a few minutes to let me get some time to myself, a bit hard when I can hear her crying away upstairs. I sent FB invites to loo and Lozza, my initials are CS. Time to go back and see if there is anything I can do. Really hoping it's not a long night.

GOOD MORNING LADS!!!

waula - ive not taken G swimming yet... cant wait for our hols so we can swim a little everyday

Loo - I was looking into wedding dresses about a year before our wedding. I went on the Maggie Sottero site (OMG amazing dresses) and fell in love with about 1 million. But then i saw it...... Then i saw the price tag So i spent two months checking the net every day to see if anyone was selling one. THEN, one day on gumtree i saw that a shop in OXFORD was selling their sample - which was pristine - and in my size.... for a third of the price. I took a gamble and bought the dress.... without EVER trying it on! anyway it arrived...... and i loved it.
I did try on some other dresses closer to the wedding so that my mum got to experience ''dress shopping'' but i always knew i had what i wanted. So for me, finding the dress was not at all stressful.... and i do vouch for the fact that you will just ''know''.

Nic - stupid BBQs but yer, the washing thing is MAJOR annoying.

Olympics - very much looking forward to it

Rashy - never heard of camilia? But then i know nothing about herbal treatments etc (assuming its a herbal thingy LOL)

so our night..... not our usual STTN but he went to bed at midnight, then fed at 3am - then 7am. He is still upstairs sleeping. so not bad. but bring back the STTN and i will be happy.

I woke up this morning and OMG my body burns. I feel like its been torn apart and sewn back together. Stupid 30 day shred with X-files women. How am i supposed to do it again today when im on fire????

*WARNING WARNING - WEIGHT LOSS RANT COMING UP* (AGAIN)

So i got on the scales this morning for a sneak peak at what tomorros weigh in will bring... and they havent budged!!!!!!! gaaaah........ after a 2hour walk this week, 2 zumba sessions and a 30 min shred!!!

Loo - advice please.... how are you maintaining weight loss without hitting a dreaded plateu thingy???? have you lost weight every single week.... you have right?? i need tips weight loss wonder Queen

Tomorrow is my ''naughty'' day and i cant have my 'chips with a side order of burger' if i dont hit target. Boo.

 

[Skadi]

How does she sleep right through a thunderstorm forming literally right above us but wakes up only when I roll over once its passed?

Camilia is homeopathic teething relief drops.

 

[emera35]

Nic, ergh bbq scented clothes, not cool! Bbqs are good though, assuming you are invited!

Mouse, I've not used Camilia, but heard its actually pretty good, so maybe its not coincidence! I have some powders with it in, but got them and then F's teething calmed down, so not tried them yet.

WT, loving the frohawk!

Waula, murdering mozzies is amazingly satisfying! I get very angry if I see them buzzing round F!!

FT, I ache all over today too! No Shreddies for me though!

We did some hardcore landscaping in the garden yesterday, as it was basically un-usable with the kids. So yesterday I weeded the whole thing, dug up a couple of large shrubs and relocated them, shifted 20 bags of rubbish from last year when we last went near the wilderness that was the garden. Dug over the beds and then took up and re-laid about half the paving slabs. Today we are putting up a safety fence and gate to make it child-safe. Phew. There's nothing like digging/weeding/swinging a heavy rubber sledgehammer with a 16lb baby on your back to make you feel the burn!! Its already looking great though, and with this weather, basically just added another large room to our house.

F slept ok last night, but I still have a cursed cough, so I was up coughing every hour or so. Rubbish! Better go to the docs with it at some point really, as I saw that advert on tv about not ignoring coughs, and if I leave it I'll start convincing myself I have throat cancer or something!

Oh hey! Exciting, thinking about my throat made me realise, its 3 years this week since I quit my 40 a day smoking habit!!! Best thing I've ever done! And I mean that, having children comes second to quitting!!!

Damn, failed at remembering to answer everything again!

 

[lozza1uk]

OOOOUUUCCCCHHHHH!!!!!
Blocked duct. Most of my right boob

 

[emera35]

Ooh, Lozza, poor you! get massaging and get some heat on it! X

 

[firsttimer1]

oh no, poor lozza

emera - wow well done you! that sounds like hardcore gardening!!!

 

[lozza1uk]

Argh, I've been trying for 2 hours, showered, massaged, fed, pumped, it's not shifting! Really painful this time.

Smiles - D is a gorgeous little girl!
Ft -maybe you're not eating enough, the body starts to conserve fat stores if it thinks you're starving? Just an excuse to have those fries with the burger side order.

 

[firsttimer1]

Mmmm interesting about not eating enough. i eat less in hot weather anyway AND i dont count calories... so you coud be right. I will count calories today and make sure i eat my recommendation (think its about 1600)

ive never had a blocked duct etc, so can only imagine how much uncomfort it causes.... really hope it goes soon hunni

 

[waula]

Ft that DVD looks cruel!!!! But I have bought it!!!!!
Lozza ouch. Hope it clears. Do you feel ok? Could it be mastitis?
Emera you inspired me to clear another bed in the garden...sweaty!
N very "chatty" today (aka moany) he's currently shouting at captain calamari on his play mat. Now where are those ear plugs?!
X

 

[firsttimer1]

waula - i ... just... did... day .... two........OUCH. seriously ouch.

if anyone says the dvd is easy, i may have to take a severe dislike to them... be warned!.... LOL

arent our babies meant to drink MORE in this weather..... G is real whiney but refuses to feed, even tho it was due at 11. odd.

 

[waula]

Ah the whiney moany shouty here has become an enormous poonami. Instigated a bath for N (and his pram).
Looking forward to shredding too FT

 

[firsttimer1]

waula let me know when u start

Todays food porn... for dinner tonight i have made homemade Gnocchi; with mince, tomato sauce, spinach and dollops of mascapone on top.

That should be a fair few calories before my Zumba class!
