    LittleAnna you need this thread
    (I KNOW I saved Rudolph...I am hunting through my docs as I type)
    Here he is

    If I was any good at birth vibes I wouldn't have needed my two dragged out by the front door LOL
    but I send them ... near pregnant ladies I always say I would be NO GOOD no experience of labour - gosh I wasn't even conscious for DS (did labour a bit but no dilation at all 2/3 cm - nothing is it... - and had constant backache so I STILL don't know what a contraction is...) just hope the piglet doesn't share DDs birthday cos thats the 29th :rotfl:

    I WISH TO ANNOUNCE THAT MY HOUSE IS CLEAN!

    all I have to do this week is change the beds and wash the sheets and do the laundry...

    And I have bought the Wii Disney thing DD wants from Morrisons (oh and I bought a MP3 player for me, too 1GB £20...it's soooo tiny and cute...much like me :rotfl:)
    and on the decluttering front DD hasn't played with her Dolls house for yonks and has agreed it can be put away. The box it came in is in the loft - ready for it to go back into. It can be easily disassembled (it's a Dolls House Emporium one) - so I just need a box for the contents of it and that will be a major dusting job GONE - result - I shall save it for DDs own DD - in the attic out of sight with the Brio and the Lego. Job done!

    Yesterday I mentioned that I bought new curtains, three sets for the three bedrooms (66 x 54, 66 x 72 and 90 x 72). They are all fully lined with tiebacks. I paid £50 (and a few pence) for all three pairs. DH pulled a face and said he thought it was very expensive. Does anybody else think that's expensive? I feel like returning them now, they're still in the packets.

    It's an absolute bargain... you couldn't make them for that! Tell him to try to do better :mad:

    Rach - congratulations to your DH

    Soappie - I don't think I can add anything to the suggestions that have already been made. I'm sure your NN appreciates the support

    Triker - did you put something in Pigpen's tea when she visited you ;) ?? Well done on the weight loss, although I'm not surprised - I can't imagine you're finding eating much fun at the moment. Hope you feel better soon

    Valli - you've had a productive day... how about you spend saturday afternoon round here, as I've done next to nothing this week!

    Pigpen - hurry up baby vibes for your sister

    Toots - sounds like you're making great progress!

    Dusty - how about reflexology for your PMT?

    Mudbath - I use credit cards as cash (for the guarantee as much as anything) and have a DD set up to take the whole balance out of my account each month. I'd rather use my overdraft and keep any debt in one place and short term. Because I do this, I have charity credit cards (Amex Red, Breakthrough Visa, CRUK Mastercard), so any spending I do benefits the charities. One of these never gets used as it's my emergency locked up at home in case I lose the others card...

    A n W & mum - I hope you've had a lovely day full of good memories

    lil_me - thanks for the website... I've told my dad to do some reading!

    I managed to leave work in time to get to my yoga class (so my macaw is still just about working!), and have got home and eaten while catching up on the thread. I'm just going to clear up and get sorted out for tomorrow, and not attempt to catch up on any of the lists tonight. I'll save that for tomorrow when I should be home earlier.

    Oh yes... and I've signed up for 20 mile ribbon walk for Breast Cancer Care today... 27th June, so the training should mean I'm fairly fit and have lost weight before my brother's wedding (mind you, I did the moonwalk last year, and don't think I lost any weight training for that :o ). So far one local friend is signed up as well, and the two girls who work for me and one other in the office are also joining me, so I should get training in at home and work. And we're going to do fundraising rather than sponsorship - I foresee a few cake sales ;)

    Hope I haven't missed anyone... hugs all round anyway :D
