    Morning all

    Just heading out the door but wanted to send good vibes to Hex - I'm sure you'll do brilliantly. It's the kind of thing I'd like to get into myself actually!

    See you tonight for flying and frolics lol

    Morning all

    Hex - well done on the weight loss and good luck for today. I'd be carp at fascilitating - I like the sound of my own voice too much:rotfl:

    Soappie - thanks for the heads up on WDYTYA - I only saw the second half but it was intersting, I just find some of the staged cloak and dagger stuff a bit much.

    Mummy2mygirls - hoping you are still as high as a kite on those first few days of a new baby to hold - lots of love to you all

    Emily - I was a birthing partner to a friend before I had my 3 and it was a wonderful experience - it was her 4th so she had a lot more idea of what to do than I did!

    Woddy is completely back to his usual self today. I need to update my list and get in the shower.

    congrats.gifmummy2mygirls

    pipgen I've obviously caught your wide awake vibes too cos I couldn't get to sleep at all last night and was tossing and turning all night long. I did actually consider coming on here in the middle of the night, but the study is right nextdoor to the bedroom and I didn't want to wake OH up when the computer booted up as he had work today.

    LadyL glad I helped to cheer you up yesterday - it was my pleasure. If you have no luck with your son cleaning your dashboard for you, I'll happily pop over with my dash shine if you'd like - it'll only cos you a cup of tea. :p

    Going to have breakfast in a minute and get dressed, but after that, does anyone fancy a HHC? How about 9.30-10?
