Am liking the idea of Bomber or Chipps (from the number of times he’s saved me from myself on threads) or maybe Picolax? Or does that out me as a very sad STW’er?

Oh and thankfully pup doesn’t seem to be too attached to his current name, so changing it shouldn’t be an issue

Some really good suggestions guys (not entirely about “My Face”) and n’boogie made me smile.

I do like Hope, apparently my suggestion of Santa Cruz is no good either…

I had a pair of Bantums named Scotch and Sambuca

Our Daugther wants to call him Lola… Yes well… 🙄

Yeah – thanks to “that” video – my first choice of Sprocket is now out of the running (what can I say I’m a Fraggle Rock kind of girl)

Wrecker – I did have a tortoise called Hedgehog, so I see where you’re going with that

Captain – I think you posted the same pic years ago, when I was trying to find a nice cyclist for my mate – really need new material 🙂

If I eat too much processed carbs I get a flare up, so I try to eat wholewheat and it’s much better

OH is also on STW but we met at work – and he kindly introduced me to the world of SingleTrack. (god if I could erase that moment from memory forever I would)

If there are any cyclists in the London Area, 32+ and good looking my Gorgeous, single sister says she can’t find a nice man anywhere

I did – got it from the OH – but now he’s moaning because I may have commented about how fit I think he is a few times :-s

Thanks clubber – did wonder if any of the oldies would remember me.

I do like the look of the Giant, and i know the geometery works for me, I think I may have to see if I can get a demo of that and the Trek, as the Spec bikes just never fit me well.

Thanks Daisy – hearing that someone 5’3 managed ok gives me some hope – oooh time to look at what new toy to get 🙂

Loving this thread, not been on here for a while now, and it’s great to come back and see all of this.

Keep us girls smiling

We have the mothercare premium back carrier, we looked at a lot of the expensive ones and really couldn't justify the spend.

The stand is really handy for loading the litte one into and out of the carrier, and I have used it as a seat to feed her when out on a longer walk.

The Mothercare one does all the jobs we need, heigh adjustable seat, adjustable straps for parent, padded at the front for when TBjnr falls asleep on a walk, plenty of storage, and comfortable.

Just my 2p (as a girl) she's probably having a hard time and just needs someone to talk to.

As advised above, drop her a text today and just ask if she's ok. Leave it at that.

Fantastic news!

Congrats!

I had one a few years ago, the "uncomfortable" version

Thankfully they dosed up so highly on whatever it was I have no recollection of what happened.

So how many am I cooking for? 😉

No, but I have been stuck on it every day this week, and will probably be on it again next week 🙁

For a nice red, I could be convinced to make an extra portion or two 🙂

Brown in a pan
Rub in salt, pepper and Rosemary
Chuck in the oven for 30 minutes @ 200C
Turn over for for a further 30 minutes
Reduce heat to 180
Chuck in a tin of chopped Tomatoes, a glass of wine, a pint of beef stock, a jar of mint sauce, some fried onions and a clove or two of crushed garlic.
Cook for another hour.

Server with fresh bread or on a bed of mash

Yum!

Hmmm haven't made this in ages, may have to get some shanks this weekend.

IIRC 112 is best used when you have low mobile signal – it could be a load of B***** but that's what I heard somewhere

Just to add my 2p worth, have been there myself, forgave (could never quite get myself to forget) it ate away at me for months, I constantly doubted myself, wondering why I wasn't good enough, let myself get turned into a complete doormat, which he took advantage of and treated me even worse.

Eventually I found out about numerous other affairs, including attempts with my 2 closest friends.

Walking away was hard, I went for a very comfortable life, to living from pay check to pay check, it would have been so much easier to stay, and I did consider staying and just having my own string of affairs to get back at him. It was hard, it hurt like mad, I lost all confidence and self worth.

But looking back 10 years later, I wish I had done it sooner, the baggage of that first time never left me, and even in new relationships I found it incredibly hard to trust anyone. I'm now back to my old self and so happy again.

Sorry to have to say this, but move on. Can you really ever trust her again?

Disklike very strongly most of my team.

Normally by 9:30 Monday someone has p's me off and I'm wondering where to hide the bodies.

Do like some people in the same company, just unfortunately don't get to work with them much

A second vote for margerine, not sure why it works but it does.

Second vote for the Sun Inn, great food, mahoosive portions

Ok so Britney, only looks 76% like herself

I Have a Mama's and Papa's Pliko, we were given the seat by a close friend so I knew it hadn't been in an accident, and I got the pliko from freecyle. We did purchase the ISOfix base for the car seat and personally I found it better than the base that was provided for seat belt use.

I was also told to stear clear of quinny's as they are pretty but not practical.

Personally I found TBjnr liked her pram to fall asleep in on walks into town, so one that fully reclines was a mist for me. I also found that being able to take the car seat out with her alseep in and clip it onto the pram without having to move or wake her up was a god send, I knew I could drive to town and get most of my shopping done without waking her up.

BUT – you will find all babies are different, I recently met a mum who's little one hated the pram, and they ended up getting one of those sideways sling things, I have another who's baby will happily sit in the pram but never fall asleep in it.

My advise – go with freecycle, try and see what works for you and pass on those that don't

She gets you as her husband surely that's enough? 😉

What about some getting a diamond or two and taking it to a jewler who will make you up something special. My mum did me some earings for my 21st and they're still the best things I own.

Something like this.

Complete swot, annoying, know it all that always raised her hand first and did any extra activity that was available.

That said I did fall off the rails big time in my early 20's and have become more normal since then

I used to get told Emma Thompson, but myheritage reckons…

I'm not sure I agree (Yes I know the photo is naff faked pose, but it was for fun, and it's the only pic I have easy access to)

Tiger, we have the same thing for our little one and use re-chargables and we've not had any issues with them.

Yes
Yes

Why are we being asked this?

Ahhhh – such a cutie, have you decided on a name?

Yay – good news, hope she recovers fast.

Sorry to hear your story bob

+1 to OP – very proudly Sarf Efrikan, even if we are out, was a great game, and made a lot of the Irish happy too 🙂

Was terrified that a giant hedgehog would roll into a ball and chase me down a hill, used to have recurring nightmares about it.

Think it came from a book my gran read to me as a kid.

+1 for the child catcher

His folks bought him a gliding lesson a couple of years ago, he turned green and made me swear I'd never book him and experiance.

Am considering a training thing is it Nigel Page?

chewkw – I do like the look of those…

I've always gone round with the inventory checkout person, and in some instances when they've spotted something I haven't cleaned, they've allowed me to do it quickly before the keys handover.

I would expect them to go around with you and discuss anything they spot.

I also know a Cosmo – apprently it's a Scottish name

Know a couple who named their daughter Katherine Yasmine Jelly – KY Jelly – poor kid!

My uncle is a minister so provided me with this list of no go names when we were coming up with TBjuniors name

Twins – Tia and Maria
Twins – Jinn and Tonica
Younger sister of Chardonay – Cabernet
Girl Called Wiskey
Boy called Baileys (I could understand Bailey)
The odd thing is he's a Methodist Minister and they're not supposed to drink?

One of the women that was pregenant at the same time as me, named her little boy Kai, the day before the Rooney's announced their little boys name!

lol @wwaswas my colleagues are all wondering why i'm laughing
