    Hi Sarah,:xmastree:

    Welcome to the thread. I'll put a Christmas Tree on here so pigpen (our leader) can add you to the list at the beginning of the thread. All lists and abbreviations will be in the first post, so have a read on there.

    I expect Toots will be along in a minute, to welcome you better.

    Good luck, and enjoy all of your accomplishments,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    My friend's 'not-so-little' baby boy born 2 weeks ago was 11lb 10oz :eek:

    Surprisingly she had a c-section :rotfl:

    I weighed at least 11lb when I was born - the scales the midwife had with her only went up to 11lb! I was born so quickly that my mum didn't have time to get to hospital!

    Ive been flying a bit whilst being off work and I really like the 15 minute intervals for getting things done - I'm much more motivated to get on and tackle a job as its not going to overwhelm me. Already my house feels a lot better :D

    OK am now blaming you for eveything! If I don't do any flying tomorrow it's becuase I'll be on this site! Was going to read the rest of the posts, post tomorrow's list, make OH's lunch for tomorrow and take bedding out of TD and put on bed.
    Have now donated over 1000 grains of rice! How many do you think is in a bowl? :rolleyes:

    So you're giving up on the ironing until you've got more storage then ;)

    I'm off to have a bath... nothing's got worse today, even if it isn't better. I'll have to unpack my suitcase after my bath, as otherwise I won't be able to go to bed. And I will put it all away... honest...
