Had another burst of energy so got a bit more done... slowly getting there :j:j "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.

Well done Penny! How did you get on Jennybee?
I realise I'm about 5 hours late updating on my HHC - sorry! Got distracted
I stripped the bed and put the washing machine on (it's now in the tumble dryer)
Moved a few stray bits from the bedroom floor
Put the washing up away and wiped down the surfaces.
Took the plastic bottle and cardboard to the recycling place
Then I ended up popping in with my mum to go and have a look at washing machines as their's has packed up completely. Then we had lunch, then I read the newspaper, have just consumed a chocolate bar (yum!) and am now about to head back upstairs to go through some random boxes that I think contain some of my old books from when I was little. Might be useful for the bump when it arrives!
In the middle of this I am going to stop thinking about the fact that at some point in the next 2.5 weeks I'm going to have to go through labourJonathan Douglas born 20th January 2009 - 9lb 4oz

I've painted the other side of the last shelf, so assuming that dries OK that's all the shelves ready.
Brought the lampshade back indoors because it looks like rain, that's upstairs finishing drying. Looks like new.
Watched Neighbours. Decluttered a mince pie (dated 10th January - tasted OK to me).0 -
[FONT="]JennyBee[/FONT][FONT="] hope you are feeling better today. Do I take it you are in a nesting mood as you are 39 weeks. Please make sure you take it easy though hon. Well done on the having no ironing, wish I could clear my ironing pile..lol[/FONT]
Shhh..don't mention the 'nesting' word! I prefer to think of it as 'spring cleaning' that I haven't previously had time to do because I've been working combined with a general realisation that people are going to come round to see me and the baby and I don't want to be running round stuffing things in cupboards before they arrive!!Jonathan Douglas born 20th January 2009 - 9lb 4oz
