Discovery Home & Health

I have so lost the enthusiasm though I did go on my treadmill yesterday but I had to let the 2 eldest watch Liberty and then that led to arguments and more stress so more food!!! Eating out is so cheap here, we had Papa Johns last night again!!! I was asleep on the sofa at 8.30!!!! Before the kids!!!!

Ali.. hope you're feeling a little less battered today

Well Zoe sort of guessed it already. Its one of those ones with awful headlines on the front (I think the current one is something like "I was stabbed 26 times by a 7 year old!" I'm too scared to ask what my headline will be!.. prob something like "I was told to kill my baby!" ooooh dear. Have got better hopes for the Mail as thats written in the 3rd person and is more newsy apparently.
Will let you know which day that'll be in.

Zoe... where was the wedding you went to last week end? Wasn't at Lainston House was it?? We were at one there
xxxxxx

tee hee.....sorry Summer!!

Stabbings and ' I slept with my Mothers husband' type magazine.....got to be 'Take a Break' then !!!!

Oh its not too bad hun.........Like I said I have to confess I used to buy it because I'd be looking at the magazines and a shocking headline would stand out and I'd have to buy it to find out what happened!!!

They do do alot of ' miracle' baby stories which always made me cry...........in fact alot of the stories did.
The baby ones ( providing they have a good ending ) are really lovely to read.
The other stories make you realise that actually your life isn't half as depressing and bad as you thought!!!!

So how did that come about ? ( sorry you have probably said but I was abit tipsy last night!!! )

Its all good stuff Summer...I will deffo go out and get a copy.......all my family know about you and the boys so will be nice to show them something.( to prove you are not my imaginary friend!!! )

This is really good Summer........your little boys are going to be famous!!!!
What about all the parenting magazines ? Bet they'd be interested.......get yourself an agent girl and cash in !!!!

Right, wedding last weekend was in Reading........it was abit of a treck getting buses and trains in my Monsoon dress........felt very self conscious as I haven't dressed up ages! Could barely walk in my heels!!!

I didn't like being away from the kids either as it was my first proper night out in years....literally!!!
Was good fun though.....felt very old when we got the last bus back from Winchester..so many young boys on the bus drunk......I felt very old
Hnag over from hell next day and I hardly drank much......why is it that you get bad hangovers worst than ever the older you get ?

xxxxx

Zoe-just looked at Violet's ticker-is her age right on it???? I didn't think she was that much younger than Liberty???

Tee-hee Zoe's guilty pleasure is 'Take a break'....could be worse hun, could be 'peoples friend'
Seriously summer, i think it's great that your story is going to be in a magazine...i'm going to kepp an eye out for it.

no its worse than take a break... its the other one you mentioned before!
sorry... feeding at mo.
how funny... well, not funny, but I haven't dressed up for hmmmm, must be years!... and i was wearing a Monsoon dress too
back with 2 hands later.
and yes it struck me earlier zoe... violet's date must be wrong ... was thinking... gosh, standing unaided at 6 months is amazing!!
xxxxxxxxxxx

Those bloody tickers!!!

I wish I'd left well alone!!! Thought I'd get all clever and add more photo's and totally messed it up!! Thinking about it I actually don't remember adding her date of birth so goodness knows how that happened.........you lot are too observant for your own good!!
Can think of better things to do on a saturday night ( Or can I ? ) but will sort it out now AGAIN!!!

Peardrop you made me chuckle hun.my guilty secret!!! tee hee..........don't tell anyone but I even used to do the competitions aswell !!!! What a loser!!!!

Summer .....as Frank Sinatra ( I think ) would say ' THAT'S LIFE' !!! TEE HEE !!!! sorry hun

Don't panic hun....look what a classy and intelligent girl I am and I have been known to buy ' That's life' whilst waiting for thursdays ( ooops giving away too much info ) ' Take a Break ' ha ha...so whats to worry about!!!!

Was the dress a new Monsoon one that you wore on sturday night because if it was I probably know which one it is since I tried every dress on several times in that shop!!!! Found a gorgeous one in the end that hid my bulging bits beautifully!!!
So many nice dresses in that shop and the childrens stuff is gorgeous........if I were rich I'd deffo dress my girls in Monsoon everyday!!!

So whats everyone up to so far this weekend?

Hope all babes and beanies are well

Talking of beanies.......I want to see a bump picture Sarah !!!

Ok Tom now having the rest of his feed by bottle from Dh

Ummm... It came about Zoe because of the BBC online piece... a journalist saw it and contacted TAMBA and they got in touch with me and asked if I was interested in speaking to her and added that they thought she paid a good fee. So of course I said yes so they gave her my details. She rang and said she is freelance but most of her stuff goes in The Daily Mail and about 15 mags. So shes done a piece for the mail... can you tell i'm feeding again? ...and a piece for the mags and apparently this mag is the highest paying. it can only go into one mag at a time but she is hoping to get some more mileage from it after its been in this one. She is my sort of agent for now as I'm tied to her for 14 days after it is published in the mag and thats going to be 6-8 wks from now. i get a good fee for each piece that is published.
right, this one handed lark is a bit tricky now and jake keeps turning round to see the computer screen so i'm not getting very far here!!

x posted you medear. its a red one. just plain red with a silky sash thing. will pop a pic on msn of me looking v tipsy with the bride and groom

Violet does that when I'm sat here feeding her.........gets all nosey and starts knocking my hand so I can't type!
That's my excuse for bad speling and grammar ( grammer? )!

You look lovely in that photo....not tipsy atall......and super slim......to think you were pregnant with twins aswell ! Are you back to your old size now?
I still need to lose some weight.....( but can't be arsed ).......long to have a flat stomach again!
The bride looks lovely too.... is that a close friend of yours.............she looks very tipsy and happy!

I didn't take any photo's at the wedding......should of really since I never dress up!
My dress was chocolate brown, strapless with a nice bodice and little sequins and a ribbon round the waist like yours.......nice to dress up isn't it?

Mabel loves dresses and I tried it on a few weeks ago at home and did a few spins around and asked Mabel if I looked like a princess and she replied ' No Mummy, Princess's DON'T wear brown ' ......little Madam!

That's good news about getting paid for the articles.........and so you should too!!!

You must tell us everything you are in so that we can go and buy them!
Great for you to show the boys when they are older.

xxxx

Wow you look great Peardrop
Sorry I couldn't resist being nosey!!!!

Thanks Baby, Can you see it? i can't find it..i think it has been removed

I did but had to adapt the link a bit????

see what?? Can't see anything Peardrop

I know the dress you mean Zoe. Gorgeous!
When Daisy saw the wedding pics I asked her if she thought Sophie looked like a princess and she said yes. Then she said... and I think you look like a princess too mummy And then she said... and I think Stu looks like a princess too

Yes Sophie was my best friend at 6th form college... drifted apart a lot over the years but she lives back in Winchester again now and her bloke is lovely (has had some dodgy ones in the past) so we're seeing lots of them these days. Hes wonderful with Daisy... think they're trying for a honeymoon baby!

Love the new pics on msn

Let's see if this works
