Morning all
Sorry I've not had much chnace to read the thread....it gets long overnight!! I must go to bed much earlier than all of you. So hugs to all those that need them and hello to everyone else.
I don't seem to be getting much of the list done. The trouble is I do the easy bits like empty bins but leave the stuff that needs doing...like the floors. Still I am quite refreshed today so I may not have an afternoon nap and will catch up on the list then.
After the excitement of cramps and a show yesterday everything seems back to normal today. I have a scan tomorrow to double check that the baby isn't breech - she was 2 weeks ago and last week they couldn't be sure so I don't really want anything to happen before that

Good morning all and welcome DebbiemcA Faint Cold Fear by Karin Slaughter
:rotfl:I'm reading that at the moment too! Her books are fab, I've managed to read the first four in the series all in the wrong order which makes it a bit confusing at times.:rotfl:
DH's snoring kept me awake half the night so feeling knackered again, not sure how much flying I'll manage this week if I don't get some sleep and SUN!
Got a BM off freecycle yesterday :T and have so far today scrubbed it clean and looked at the recipes. Unfortunately she couldn't find the full instructions so we'll see how it goes as I've never used one before. I'm very excited though:j (I lead a very dull life, what can I say...):o
