    Still waiting...............getting jumpy now. They had better get a bit of a move on as I am supposed to be teaching from my new timetable tonight.

    I have a long list of to do's to keep me occupied mostly involving stuff that doesn't take me too far from the computer.

    Toto your wedding piccies are wonderful.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Thanks Maz - I know its stupid deep down :o - especially as based on the vivid (and not entirely pleasant) dreams I had on Saturday night I know the hormones are in full flow, plus I appear to add an inch or 2 every day:rotfl: . I think its because I read the Pregnancy thread and a couple of the girls over there have had to deal with the sad news and it just put my mind in overdrive.

    Hubbles insisted on a night out as he thought I looked stunning :D so the outfit was a success. I'll see if Hubbles has any pics that show dress etc as I was quite pleased (I even already had shoes in the perfect red to match the pattern in my dress:D ). Only just squeezed into the dress though - its not a maternity one, just the cut accommodated bump and boobs, but an over the head job so getting past the lumpy bits was an effort:o :p.

    New avvy is from Sat night:D

    I've decided to use smilies anyway in case they come back earlier than Sammy:p

    Good morning

    Just been back to A&E with Wayne - thankfully they've discharged him now and given him half a dozen dressings that he'll need to change every 3 days until it's healed. Once the dressings are used, we can move onto normal plasters (which I have a fair few of at home).

    Weekend was great - went to the designer outlet at York with mum on Saturday and bought the parents Christmas present - usually I'm panicking about theirs on Christmas eve so feel like I've really achieved something this year.

    The second major achievement - I told mum I wanted her to knit a baby shawl / blanket and... she said I can have the one she knit when she was pregnant with me and in hospital for the last four months!!! This is the same blanket she refused to let my cousins or my sister have for their children so am feeling quite touched and emotional.

    And because these things come in threes... I started knitting the cardigan and I remembered how to cast on and knit and only needed a quick demonstration of a purl stitch so reckon the new-born baby sized cardigan should be completed by Christmas!!! I may remember how to knit but I'm not a fast knitter.

    Hope everyone has a great day...
