    Thank you for reading, not too sure how helpful it will be!

    Anyway I am now officially 30! OH gave me a wonderful jewellery box, with all different types of wood inlaid, making up the scenery from the island in scotland where we were married! Very sweet!:heartpuls
    He also painted my toenails, which I haven't been able to reach for a while!

    Edit: Just had an enormous bunch of flowers delivered from him too! :heartpuls:heartpuls

    I have an easyish couple of days at work before we break up on Friday. I am looking forward to taking it easy! Right on with my to do list.

    Happy Birthday Earthgirl.

    Sounds like your DH has been lovely. Mine wouldn't know where to start in terms of toe nail painting. I barely know how myself though. ;)

    Enjoy it.

    Thanks everyone!!

    Had a great birthday and lovely presents and cards from everyone, even some pupils that had left came back in with all sorts of presents, and I feel very spoilt!

    Got in a bit of a strop though as people kept popping in last night to give me things (I am very ungrateful aren't I ? sorry don't mean to be!!!) and I kept hinting that we were supposed to go out for a meal, but we didn't manage to get everybody out until after 8pm, so didn't eat until about 9pm - don't get between a pregnant lady and her food!!

    Anyway, I had a really unsettled night, and couldn't feel the baby kicking, and almost went to hospital I was so worried. Anyway oh calmed me down, he can still feel him moving just not as dramatically. I think everythings ok, as he has been moving well today - and I've been concentrating on him more!


    I have officially finished work for at least 9 months! and I feel strangely calm and unflustered. Very odd. Teachers gave me a round of applause for making it to the end of term, apparently no one thought I would!!


    Right off to update my to do list and have a rest - later I am making birthday cake for my bbq/ indoor party :( tomorrow!
