I wouldnt go that far!!

.....at least yours stuck around that long. 7 months of pregnancy saw the back of him.

Anyway...............have hung new curtains in the bedroom and am now in a dilemma as to what to do with the curtains from the lounge. They are far too heavy to post so cant sell on Ebay....might have a look at netmums.

Spare room looks beautiful.....am now going to empty the linen cupboard, i think.

Afternoon all

I am working from home this aft but only have few must dos, it has been a longish morning already which included me going on 2 buses, 3 trains and 4 tubes - not bad! Tomorrow and Thursday are busy days so I am going to make the most of a bit of down time today. I had a cheeky beer at a lunch meeting so will leave my application for an hour or so.

Need to nip to Mr S tonight as we have Bil&Sil for dinner tomorrow and need to make sure we have everything we need. Will do my work stuff first then catch up with the thread and do some flying. DH is also working from home today as the poor thing was too shattered to get up this morning (5 weeks to the exams - and counting!)

Pollybear

Got soaked grabbing my washing back in when it threw it down with rain. So that's all draped round indoors now. So much for the hot sunny day they promised.

laura2481 - nice that he noticed (mine never has).

AnW'sMum

Blimey rach you are almost rivalling Charlie Boorman on most different forms of transport there! The occasional cheeky beer is always tasty

Have packed away the tent and mats etc. Miss A is dismantling the quilt tent they built on the landing earlier! W has packed loads of toys and hardly any clothes for his overnight sleep at Nannies :rotfl: Need to get them organised and outta here so I can get some stuff done before I hit the flicks tonight.

Valli

***sigh***
Bank account spreadsheet utterly upto date with anticipated debits/credits also logged....
Now off to do some filing...

Hi everyone :hello: Hope you are all ok and having a good day.

Toots - Tuesday's and Wednesday's lists are done :j:D:j

We just popped out to take a few more bags to the charity shop. I blitzed dd's bedroom at the weekend, and went through all the old toys that she has grown out of. I put them all in some bin bags and dropped them all off. At this point I have to say that dd likes to keep EVERYTHING!!!, so there are times when I have to declutter when I am on my own, otherwise we would have every toy, game, cuddly toy, from when she was born, until now! (she has just turned five). She did ask what was in the bags, and I told her there were some old clothes that we no longer needed (there were some clothes so I didn't lie really ) After dropping the bags off, we went to the sweet shop so dd and ds could choose some sweets. On the way back to the car, we passed the charity shop, and they had already put all of dd's old toys in the window! :eek: Put it this way, I had some explaining to do and now I feel really guilty.

Had really bad morning sickness (more like all day sickness!_pale_) the past few days. My midwife said it is a good sign, so I will trust her on that one! It will all be worth it in the end, when we have our new addition to our family I had better get on. Have a good afternoon. Love to you all xx
