Morning all,
Not really about much yesterday, caught up a bit but dosed on and off from about 8pm on the sofa and finally went to bed at 10 but have been awake on and off most of the night, then got up at 6.30am in the end as fed up with it...
So catchup day for me today - lots of this going on I think..., and then, just because I can, there will be some snoozing and some resting...;)
I will post list in a bit...

Since doing the flylady on here I do a thorough dust, deweb, vac & mop through on a Monday and do the bathroom at the same time. It's only small and there's lots of pipes on display (thank you council :rolleyes:) but I'm finding it easier to keep on top of. Thank you Pigpen for all the lists & encouragement. And to Toots as well for the stars!

morning :hello:
mrsmorten huge congrats!!!!!!!! no worries about the milk he'll do just fine! and this way dh can help out with feeding too
no need to catch up just yet - you first recover anyways! 6 weeks, you hear me?!?!
Mudders good on you to jump right to the challenge! i'd be reseraching already too; but hey, it might not even be necessary - but i know: be prepared!
i am glad to see you both so positive about it and that it brought you so much closer! sent you a pm
gingernut don't overdo it in the first few weeks. you'll wear yourself out early and then the CBA period kicks in!
rosepink still good on you for going on the walk! you should be proud of yourself!!
nicki oh no! not worse! you should get better by now! - my headache is easing up a bit and the neck/glands is much better!! - have lots to drink and a few rests
phil ~~positive job vibes~~ your way
Jill good to see you so up beat!!
thanks everyone for the birthday wishes for dh - he actually grinned and says 'thanks'!
we had a very nice afternoon. i've picked the kids up from nursery and we walked back and hoped to make it in time to get 'the surprise party' for dh ready (kids idea:rolleyes:) - BUT he was already home :eek: - so the kids shoved him into his office and we put the balloons up, got the drinks out, and put all the presents on the table along with the cards (one signed by the kids) - then we all hid behind the chairs, under the table, behind the kitchen counter and called him in ... and obviously jumped all up calling out 'surprise' - the kids had a good giggle.
then we had a toast and presents got opened.
nice dinner later with cake, candles, song to round it all up
oh, i've got 2 really funny cards for him. one from me with a grinning monkey on the front 'Getting older is no laughing matter ....'{inside} '...one chuckle and bang goes your bladder control!'
and for the kids 'Dad, for your birthday I'd like to give you an Honorary Award to wear' [= badge saying: 'I'm the BOSS around here!]'
{inside} .. you can give it back to MUM tomorrow! :rotfl:
well, i better go and find my get up and go
