    Massive (((hugs))) for your sister Hollyh. Can't imagine how she feels but my thoughts are with her and you as I'm sure you're upset too.

    AbbieB...here's the post. I bookmarked it so I could refer back to it.

    Have hung the washing out and made a start on DD1's room. Probably no point in posting the list yet as I can't cross anything off as I've not started DD2's room yet because she's still in bed.

    I did my massive walk this morning.
    I've just plotted it on google maps pedometer (hex if you havent used this its great for finding out how far you ran .....) and it was 6 miles. According to their thingy I burned 600 calories and this doesnt even account for the fact that I was pushing the buggy too :j:j Though now I have sat down my feet ache and my legs are seizing up LOL
    Its beautiful outside today though so it was a lovely walk and LO was pretty good aprt from the last 20 minutes. We went via school, then preschool, the Asda cafe, then Asda then the library. She got out for a bit in the library.

    So flying-wsie hopefully I helped declutter a lb or so
    Other than that I have done a very quick once over, I have a bunch of friends (antenatal from first time round) coming round this afternoon but we should be in the garden so hopefully the 11 kids that will be here :eek: wont make too much mess inside. Kids range from 9 months up to 6.

    Jo I'd have a word with her first and if you get no joy contact your local council, I'm sure there's a dept that deals with hedge/tree disputes. If they're too high she will be told to cut them down....but be aware if the latter happens you may be living with a neighbour who hates you lol


    She hates me anyway cos i wont allow her 'gentlemen friend' to park across the front of my driveway! :rolleyes:
