Tara, at least your OH tries... I get up every morning to a chopping board covered in crumbs from where he's made the sandwiches... And the butter knife sitting there, usually with butter still on it... This morning, Aimee was stood there blowing the crumbs across the work surface so now I'll have to fetch everything off to rescue all the crumbs... There's just no effort!

At least he makes sandwiches - I make packed lunches for DD, DS1 and DH on a morning - I lost it with him (DH) on Fri morning when I'd done some emergency ironing (ie: school uniform) and went to make sarnies whilst he was sat on the sofa watching breakfast tv! And he will put his plate/ mug/ bowl (whatever) on the worktop above the dishwasher - he can't actually seem to manage to open the dishwasher and put something in

Grr!!!

Changing the topic, has anyone due mid May packed their bag yet? I haven't (well, I have thrown a pack of mat towels and a pack of nappies in a bag!!) And I'm getting lots of low pressure and almost period pain twinges - so I almost get excited - but I still think this one will be late like all my others - humf!! I shall be SO jealous of anyone due around the week I am who arrives early/ on time!! :rotfl:

Morning everyone

So sorry to hear of your lost Bumblebee.

I went to the Drs this morning. First thing she was well done and congratulations. She couldn't find her wheel thing to work out the dates, so asked me. I got a little "book" called Emma's Diary. Apparently the MW will write to me in two weeks with an appointment.

Still dizzy and have cramps - no bleeding

Oh yeah, hubby will only load the dishwasher in one big go.. None of this 'putting in as you go along' business... I used to do his packed lunch for him, but since being pregnant, I need the extra half an hour in bed so he makes his own... and Aimee's half a sandwich while he's there... I pack the rest of her lunch...

I have baby's bag packed... And some nighties and towels shoved in a suitcase... And a list of things that need to be packed... But that's about it really... I keep getting low period type pains too... Would be nice if they'd lead to something!

Have you tried downing tools until they have no clean cups they have to wash one?
...

That's the problem he'd just wash one :rotfl::rolleyes:
My OH always puts plates etc on the worktop next to sink/above dish washer usually with out scraping it and with the addition of a tissue/scrunched up crisp packet :mad:
I love how he says "I work all day, its ur job to clean" but then when he's home alone with Christopher I come back to dirty nappies in sacks on the lounge floor!!:eek: apparently walking upstairs to the 'changing area' with a bin or putting a nappy in the outside bin is too much work when ur watching a toddler yet I'm supposed to do dishes, hoovering, clean kitchen and bathroom, make his side of bed (something I refuse to do!) and greet him home from work with the smell of homemade food being cooked - there's seriously no hope there! *sigh*

Greent - I'm due 3rd June and have been meaning to pack the hosp bag for weeks, no sign yet :undecided

he he, if she'd looked in the emma's diary she'd have found a table for EDDs
hope cramps are nothing to worry about, Did she check ur BP to see if its low/high and therefore possible cause of dizziness?

mrsapple_2

Oh bargain carly i see your overdue! How exciting! Hope it all kicks off soon - good luck

mrsapple_2

BP is normal and the consultant at the hospital was very good - he said all signs are positive. I am dizzy because of the hormones and the cramps are just stretching - no bleeding and they are not spreading. If this changes then I will go back. They are no worse than my periods anyway and it is not all the time - some days there is nothing.

Oh and i am to nervous to write down EDD - i know it is silly but i am sooo early.

Hugs going out to you bumblebee.

My husband is the opp - hes a bit ocd about the house and complains that i'm untidy. He has been doing a lot more since I got pregnant (we blitz the house together at the weekends, and he does more than I do) but he does complain that it needs blitzing in the first place - seeing as i'm at home i should be keeping on top of it. I think its only going to get worse when I'm too busy/tired running around after a baby - especially as he might take a backseat with regards to the cleaning when i'm no longer pregnant.

Sounds similar to mine! Mine thinks I should vacuum daily, for starters! I should treat running the house like a job. I do try - but I am tired! And I have 3 kids already - 1 of which is at home most of teh time as he's only 3, so I can't nap etc in the day. And we live in a large house (which is nice, but cleaning 4 loos a day takes long enough!!) DH seems to think I sit on my butt all day - which if I did I'd keep up with this thread and post a lot more :rotfl::rotfl: This morning I am so tired - I was asleep some time between 11.30-12 midnight (which is late for me at the mo) and then the toddler decided to get up and wander around downstairs at 1.15am (and no lights were on downstairs!) - I then didn't get back to sleep until gone 2 and was awake just before 6 - when I tried to doze until my alarm went at 6.20 that's not including 1 trip to the loo in the night and waking up when I needed to roll over because my hips hurt etc.

Hmm - didn't mean to moan so much!

Tasks for today:

• washing - done and drying on rads/ in drier (hissing down outside)
• ironing - 2 loads of washing done yesterday & also today's when dry
• clean kitchen sides & tidy junk which has accumulated in there
• clean loos/ sinks
• vacuum downstairs
• tidy dining room
• phone tile shop and sort out order which DH is collecting from Wolverhampton today - we bought tiles for new bathroom on Sat which are being fitted tomorrow and the chap hs ordered a mix of choclate and charcoal ones - meant to be choc - DONE (although I'm not convinced order will be right!)
• Sew on badges for DS1's cub uniform (meeting tonight)
• mop kitchen, hall and downstairs loo
• tidy toys in family room (also known as my client room where I do massage so need to sort it for end of week!)
• think of something for tea!!
• Order nursing bras online - think that's all I need to get before birth now (hopefully.......)
• order fabric samples from velux for blinds for loft - has been on to do list fpr more than 3 weeks!!
• send paperwork to Inland Rev for small earnings exemption cert so I can try and claim some Mat Allowance (ffinger crossed.)

Ho hum - better get started!!

Sami, worktops don't look clean once he's finished, they actually look worse as he just shifts the dirt to the sides. :rotfl:
