What made you happy today?

I breastfed my 3 until they were 6 months old. I felt very proud of myself too that my body had grown 3 babies and managed to keep them alive too. I still am very proud of myself. My sons are lovely and 2 of them are useful members of society. I reserve judgement on Son No 3!

I’m sure even No 3 is a lovely human!

I breastfed all three. My son learn the bottle from a young age and I think that’s where I made a mistake. He was weaned around 6 months. Eldest daughter I stopped at 7 months - went back to work and she wasn’t accepting the bottle. Third i breastfed just short of a year. She was refusing milk as well. I ended up having to give her formula milk till she was around 2.

It’s a great thing you’re doing @Lady Kelly i think it’s needed a lot more. I think you’ll also do a fabulous job. I don’t know if it’s the...’shame’ that seems to be attached to breastfeeding, especially in public places. I wasn’t comfortable but that was my issue and not a result of others. I mean, I didn’t even want my sisters to see my mammary glands 🤷🏾‍♀️

I breastfeed mine wherever I was if they were hungry. I covered myself up and had nothing on show. If other people didn't like it that was their problem.

I covered myself up too, though usually went into the baby area when out shopping. I didn’t really go out (restaurants etc) when they were young. Still don’t 😂
 
I just tend to get them out :)) though that said there's been no trips to restaurants and only to the shopping centre twice. Cafes we've done a few more times. I've never had anyone make any comments. I feel like she may wean herself in time as during the day she only wants milk at her naptime now instead every 2 hours. 10 months old and still going strong
 
The only time I had a massive discretion-failure was unfortunately in Church when No 1 was being christened and I had to try and find something nice to wear that I could fit into. The day was very hot - I had a long sundress, empire line to accommodate baby weight, with a halter neck (which tied at the back of the neck) in a nice bright colour and a little cardi. My Church doesn't object to feeds during the service but I usually sat discreetly at the back for when baby kicked off. This time we were one row from the front and it was going well until the end - he'd got hotter and redder and started to grump for milk and I realised I couldn't extract a boob easily so in a little panic I reached round and pulled the bow at the back of my neck undone...

...and the whole top of the frock dropped straight off and I flashed the vicar... and I couldn't even pull it back up.

but at least I wasn't on the front row as that was directly facing about 20 choristers! #smallmercies

Our number 3 (son - we have 1 daughter 2 sons) is one in a million, he works hard (he's 23 on Monday) he's been saving hard. He scrapped his old car which was past its best - walked into a local second hand car lot and treated himself to a new car. The salesman's face was a picture when he offered to arrange finance - junior said that won't be necessary - I'm paying cash! :D this is his new baby. 👍

My happy feeling is from jumping into a warm bed after a long cold wet night shift. 😁

They really don't like it when people don't need finance, especially when said person negotiates a cheaper price before saying they are paying cash and all of a sudden the dealer realises they aren't going to make as much money as planned :)) speaking from personal experience

Haha shame on him! Then again they always try to put people on finance. My parents once went to a dealership and saw a car they wanted. They were going to pay upfront but the salesman said it’s not possible 🤨 they took their trade elsewhere!

@*kate* I hope your daughter is on the road to recovery.

He even asked what will you knock off for cash (cheeky bugger! :)) ) The salesman knocked off £150 for his cheek and said the car will come with 12 months MOT and a full service. :D

OH always does that. He also tries to negotiate 12 months tax, a full service, MOT if appropriate and a full tank of fuel!
 
A lovely email from one of my daughter's teachers saying how well she has been doing with her online classes, participating and work and general attitude. Proud mummy moment! Also my son has gone into school this week and admitted that actually it's probably better than being at home, he struggles with motivation and focus so although I was hesitant because of risks etc it works. Ooooh and this 16119451995203386085609924911514.webp

So for those of you who don’t know, I spend most of my time (around work and the animals) building and racing cars, showing cars and restoring classics. This year I’ve been asked to be a brand ambassador for the company Autoglym (very exciting) 😁

today (made me very happy), they sent me a lovely gift box of goodies, as a welcome 🥰🥰

Congratulations - it’s well deserved I’m sure.
 
Currently sat with dye on my hair. I haven't coloured my hair for around a decade, maybe longer! Might make a pigs ear of it, it might not show up much (it's a temporary mask rather than dye) but it will be what it will be! I think it was triggered by talk of the uni days and the loss of one of our friends
 
Well it came out more ginger than pink 🙄 should have gone a brighter shade. Going to do it again on Saturday to hopefully build on it
