Neighbour dropped in with her little un for a coffee and chat so that was nice!:D Had just finished pegging washing out, may as well give it a blow before it goes in TD;) .

Am going back to girls room 3.15 till 4.15 - if I finish before will do the filing as that should only be a 5 min job.

Glad you can stay home till Sarah is at least 1 Johanne.

bumble-bee_3

I'll join you denise a 3.30 start will give me chance to finish my utility room.

3.30-4 pm

[STRIKE]tidy & clean bedroom[/STRIKE]

Valli

Johanne – what a nice surprise for you. I am so pleased!

Polkadot – I too hope you got the news you wanted – incidentally – you know that bit about tests not being 100% accurate – if they say you ARE pregnant that’s 100% accurate – it’s ALWAYS the ‘negative’ result which may not be accurate. If you subsequently become ‘not pregnant’ the pregnancy failed in it’s very early stages. This might be of interest to others?

Hi Bumblebee – welcome and Happy Anniversary! – and welcome back Zed

Diva – do yourself a dailies list – like the ‘proper’ flyladies – and put feeding the cat on. Then you can post, cross it off and feel smug! Other posters on here have a daily list – I do but I rarely post it!

Laura – Pigpen (who is SO ORGANISED hint) will put them up later. Check post 1.
