Congratulations great aunty Cinds! x

Thanks Kaffy, I'm thrilled to bits, but to be honest more for my nephew who is the father, he's had a rough going and this is going to bring his lot back together. 

Even better then, Cinds. 

Aww Congratulations to all 

It's not a good look, but here he is in all of his 4 minutes old glory.

Oh my, he is delicious Cinds x

No he's not.  He's new and ugly like they all are, then they get washed and they are still ugly until a few days later. That's when they're lovely and delicious.

But thank you anyway. 

That sounded horrible, but you know what I mean.

Jen. I probably sound terrible for saying that, but let be honest. New borns are ugly.

You dont, they are a bit squished looking that first 24hrs

Many congratulations, Great Aunty Cinds.

But, but ... I like em all squashy and mishapen 

 

The only baby I ever saw thatbwasnugly as a newborn was my second ... And shs a beauty now!

 

Oh, no actually, my friends baby was amazingly ugly ... We usedto have her photo up just for the comedic value!

yes....... yes they are 

Nah, I'm just honest.  My kid when he was born was the ugliest thing ever, he looked like a starved spider monkey. 

my eyes have just been assaulted!

 

I saw that ad, Fluffs. They're horrible - and seriously weird!

Where the hell did you see those?

It's one of the ads at the top right-hand side.

They're shoes one would wear to kick the stots off someone.   

congrats Cinds ! ! 

Thanks Slinki.

 

I'm not impressed today, I've been awake since 3.15am.  I did manage some TV catch up and watched the remainder of the launch show as I fell asleep.  I also caught up on Seinfeld, The Middle and 90210 (now that's a show with shameless product placement standards) 

 

Although, the tiredness might work to my advantage and get me out of going to the cinema tonight with the Cinds men folk to watch Prometheus 

Sara Cox was dragged to Prometheus with full intention of having a nap (she even took spare contacts for afterwards)..... she ended up praising it on radio the next day

I've heard good and bad about it Jen.  But to be honest, alien movies just don't float my boat (apart from ET and Close Encounters), I actually fell asleep in the cinema during one of the Alien installments that I was dragged to.

I woke up this morning slightly hyper (or more hyper than normal). Kids asked me if I was drunk  Hormones and pregnancy are funny things. I've dusted, polished, hoovered, done 2 loads of washing, groomed the cat, made a big batch of pasta sauce for freezing and tidied out a cupboard that hasn't seen the light of day since we moved in ........then I sat and cried because "nobody helped me...am I the only one who cares if we live in a tip and might starve if I don't cook?" 

 

They did offer help btw before they all went off to school/work and left me. I'm like Jekyll and Hyde. Good job my cat understands me and just a wee meow from her makes it all better 

 

Is that the rant of a mad woman or what? 

Michael Fassbender is in it though. 

 

I liked the original Alien movie and haven't seen this one yet but I do think sometimes Directors/Producers should quit while they're ahead. Most of the time there's no need for part 2/3/4 etc etc etc. Ego trip

Sounds a bit like me just before we go on holiday. I do all the ironing and packing and virtually Spring clean the house. When Mr Yogi asks what he can do to help, I say "Nothing". Then the night before we fly out, I go into meltdown because I had to do everything myself. I don't even have the excuse of pregnancy hormones.

It's funny when you sit back and think about it Yogi  I can blame every little thing I do on being pregnant....and I do 

 

My littlest one who is 2 keeps saying "mam needs a chill" (he gets that from my 2 girls). We're gonna do our workout soon. After the Jubilee concert he's got a new found love for Elton John. We dance like loonies while pretending it's exercise. If my neighbours could see me they'd think I was more mad than ever 

^^^^

 @ the new found Elton love.

Bop away to your heart's content, the neighbours won't see you if you shut the curtains.

Cagney, I'm like that and I don't even have the excuse of pregnancy hormones.

 

But I do remember the joys of the pregnancy mood swings. I often wonder if it was because of those that I ended up 5 months pregnant and single 

We had a wee party in our living room. He normally goes to bed at 8 but it's once in a lifetime so we let him stay up. I stupidly thought they'd all be dead to the world and sprawled across the floor/sofa by 10. He NEVER stopped dancing and the others kept him going. We had to move the sofa against the wall so the kids could have a dancefloor. I'm not complaining though. Like I said it was a little bit of history in the making. I've got lots of videos of them to show when they least expect it (18th birthdays, weddings, to show my grand children). My only regret is that I couldn't drink. I did have a wee glass of champagne when she was on the balcony with the red arrows flying over. I found the whole thing really emotional. A whole country coming together and just being happy. Whether they used the excuse of a day off or if they really were celebrating for her it was nice to see. Family is family whether you're a Royal or a commoner like me. I cried a few times over the weekend. Mostly when the national anthem came on and I saw her standing with her children but minus her husband. <----getting emotional again 

Aww I'm sure it wasn't  If it was then it's his loss. There's nothing like it Cinds. Men will come and go....kids will be with you for life.  

 

When Elton sang "Your Song" all mine grabbed me up for a dance and cuddled me to death telling me how special I was. It might have officially been the Queens day but just for that wee moment it was MY day  

Sounds lovely Cagney.

 

Cagney, it was thew best thing that happened to us.

Got Radio 2 on, singing my heart out along to 'Wuthering Heights'.

 

Mannnn I do love singing that song.

 

Mines not worth a thread of its own so I will post in here..... well actually it's more of a rant really.....why do people insist on themes hen nights!!! Grrrr I have two coming up one is 1940's and the other is Neon I dunno which is worse?

I do understand what you mean. 

 

My girls were 6 when their dad decided he wasn't ready to be a dad.  We've gone from strength to strength without him. 

I agree. I do love dressing up but it seems there's only 2 themes for hen nights. Pink Ladies and neon. 

I'm with you on this one mimi.  Gets right on my wire.

We used the Hannover bahnhof concourse as a shortcut a few Saturdays back and we counted over a dozen separate hen assemblies. ION I'm missing my Dad a bit. It's the first June 6th that he won't be telling Normandy tales to innocent bystanders.
