    I am rubbish... Just worked out baby due in 10 days. c**p. that's not very long...I promise to catch up tomorrow...

    Jenny - you're not rubbish. You're doing the most important job in the world - growing a baby - a baby who is due to be born very soon. We need no promises from you at all. You need to concentrate on you and the little one right now. The housework ain't going anywhere - it'll still be there in a couple of weeks. So put your feet up as often as you need to xx
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Pigpen - do you have a catflap? Problem I've got is the flap. I've had to turn it to 'in only' as Woody watched the others and learnt how to get out - well he got his head and arms out before we gently pulled him back in! The older cats are not impressed at having their freedom restricted.

  • pigpen - WAY too close for my liking!!!

    soappie - thanks....although it's a shame the housework will still be there in a couple of weeks. Maybe it's time for a bonfire....!!!

    Mudbath - It may possibly be true that my blood pressure has gone up a little (it's not high or anything but just higher than it has been) :)

    Yes yes....this is all very sensible advice....but I find it very difficult to do what I'm told..(in case you hadn't noticed!)..Is tomorrow's list up yet? I'll go have a look at it. If nothing else, I'd like to get level 1 stuff out the way as it's usually stuff I should be doing anyway!!!!!
