mummy2mygirls - huge congratulations to you all :j:T:D Do let us know when she has a name

soappie - Yesterday is the new name for UKTV History

I definitely have a cold, but it's not too bad thankfully!

I've done the washing up and one of Mudbath's '60 in 60' thingys so there may be some hope for achieving the front room list!

Aaarggh - I've just rubbed my eye and managed to flick my contact lens out :rolleyes:

hello sorry this isnt flying - but just wanted to let you know i have had my baby!! A little girl born yesterday at 4.48 am, she weighed 8lb 7oz! All is well and ill be back flying soon xxxxx

oooooooooooh Congratulations mummy and to you all - hope the LO's are pleased with their new baby sister - did you manage to have her at home as you hoped? Welcome to the world little angel.

FFP I dont know when it started but its the same in Dundee - I only found out when I was in recently -you should ask the nurses for a stop smoking patch for him while he is in - it would at least take away the cravings while he is there?

have been sorting through some of the stuff in the hall to try and get the non sellable stuff decluttered/binned/ found homes for/put away or whatever:eek::eek::eek::eek: keep me at it this week will you please - I need to make money and clear the floor for the painter and the joiner coming and going!

toots xx

found these - very spring like!

Hope you enjoy your coffee morning tomorrow.

Thanks Soappie; I started going to the carer's coffee morning when we moved house. The carer's centre is in town & holds 3 coffee mornings a week but the one tomorow is only a stone's throw from my bungalow so I don't have to pay the bus fare :money: The carer's centre in my town is great; they do everything from giving benefits advice to counselling to providing free pampering treats

Congratulations mummy2mygirls :j:beer:_party_:dance: My friend is expecting her first child, a boy, on 27th April & has asked me to be at the birth :j:eek: I've been going to antenatal classses with her. She's very nervous about the labour, as would I be if it was my 1st. I've not had any kids either so I can only really hold her hand!

Funfairprincess-in my opinion the TV and phone call charges in hospital are a rip-off. As most of you know, my DH has been in hospital many times over the past few years & I could hardly ring him becuase the calls were 39p min off-peak & 49p min on-peak & they charged you that even if no-one answered or the line was engaged :mad:

TOOTS - todays list is done.

I've also taken the kids to the park and then round to a friends for the afternoon. By the time we had done that and gone to swimming lessons there was just time for dinner and then bed.

Got an early start in the morning because the carpet is being fitted on the stairs and landing and I've got to take the old one up.

Hugs to everyone. I'm off to bed because I'm shattered.

Grrrr, just lost a post with lots of greetings in...meant to switch tabs but accidentally clicked a favourite on the toolbar instead. d'oh.

suffice to say:
mummy2mygirls - congrats and lots of love
kaz & michelle - welcome back, lovely to see you both
pigpen - glad to hear they got off ok thanks to your mum. Did my friends package of stuff for Jacob ever get to you? I keep meaning to ask!
toochoosey - have a great week, we had a fantastic time, didn't want to leave (as ever). was mainly in the north of Pembs this week, lots of pints and cream teas, plus a few nice walks! My vodaphone internet wouldn't work in Haverfordwest, no 3G reception there it seems.

Work was ok today, cleared, flagged or filed all the emails which was a start, and had a catch up meeting with my boss over coffee. Very annoyed by an email from someone more senior slapping my wrists, completely unfairly - now wondering whether to pursue it.

right, must do lunches and see if the wm has finished.

Pops is having a fit no TV, no fags, no drink and he says the bed is uncomfortable, hell mend him. Oh!:rotfl:he asked Auntie to leave him a couple of fags to smoke in the loo she handed him a nicorette inhalator and he went into a blind rage:rotfl:

Awww FFP - if anything, that'll make sure he gets himself well enough to leave pretty soon!

Frodders - thanks for the info on the change in channel name. What gets me is whenever I look on the Virgin TV listings site hardly any of the channel names match up to what I see on screen! Hope your cold is just a passing thing...

Toots - love - hope you find enough to flog to pay the decorator!

I have done stiry fry for dinner (beef, rice, red and green peppers, spring onion and cashew nuts in an oyster sauce for those who may be curious). Have done all the hand washing up and loaded the DW with the bits that can cope and have dealt with the cat litter tray. Have also emptied EVERY bin in the house and the recycling basket into the bins outside as it's bin day tomorrow.

I'm feeling quite noble. But also quite tired so I'll say night night all - sleep well

rach

Apologies for the massively long list, I don't think I'll get much done before Friday now. Just heading off to do the washing up and I'll do as much of the kitchen as I can at the same time.

boddy - well done on the weight loss. some days those kind of people really get to you. I think she's probably jealous of you getting on well with everyone at the hospital. try and forget it, i know it's hard though!

Before I crawl into my pit, wow, Emily, that must be lovely to be asked to be someone's birthing partner. I'm actually quite jealous. I've only ever done child birth from the sharp end as it were. Your end will be much easier, believe me! just hold her hand, mop her brow, talk to her and remind her to do the appropriate breathing at the appropriate time.
