    I've woken up! And I feel less tired, altho I had some toast and now my tummy feels like I've been punched in the gut. Oh well, could be worse. Now my place is a tip so really should try to do some flying. Or I could just sit here some more!

    Big hugs Mummyoffour and Mummyof5, you are amazing mothers, and what your children go through sounds awful.

    Hi Essex, nice to see you. Hope you feel better soon

    Glad to hear things seem more positive with your Dad, Mudbath

    Toots, congratulations! You have finished your last itsnotatreat-ment! Well done! Now take it easy! Is all the building work finished yet?

    It’s really weird cos I could have sworn I’d watched DM yesterday, I even remembered it was a 2-parter, but when I watched it today I could remember nothing of the plot line! How bizarre. I’m also annoyed cos Steve isn’t going out with the nice lady he was going out with on Monday. Why don’t they show them in order?

    Off to find my list, it is incredibly long so won't post yet. Also, have done some washing, need to hang it out to dry

    Abbie...about worrying baby getting nutrients...I think you mentioned there was a time of day sometimes when you didn't feel quite so sick. Could you take a suitable multi vitamin at that time? Might make you stress less about the baby getting what it needs. Have a chat to your midwife and see if she thinks its a good idea.

    I know the answer to this one!! abbie..

    Actually.. the body is a marvellous thing and the baby goes without nothing.. you however do!!

    The baby gets all the nutrients first so it can grow well and you get what is left.. which doesn't help you when you feel really grotty but it is reassuring to know baby WILL thrive on your stores of energy (ie body fat) and will do absolutely fine!! ..

    I am now the proud owner of.. 3 chisels and a screwdriver... :D:D:D

    I have a new roller and tray.. some brushes and some filler... off to play!!

    Pigpen - what are your nails like now? Are they acrylics or real? I just had blue glitter chevrons done this week.

    red and glittery with silver and black flowers.. most girly..

    Pigpen and Sharon - how on earth do you do anything with nails like that? I always chip them even if its just one colour!

    Hvae finished writing and practiced Referat, half written Aufsatz and half done Zusammenfassung. (different types of german essay). Hmm a lot of half dones... I just get so bored! Will crack on and finish them today, get the flat clean, then can have a nice happy day with boyf tomorrow for his birthday, and relax a bit over the weekend.

    Right, cup of coffee to get me through these essays.

    Well, I was feeling a bit edgy so I put that nervous energy to good use and did the bathroom. I was going to do it on Thursday, as usual, but I'm glad it's done now. The computer desk was done fully on Monday, the computer is set up for a virus scan every Friday and I defragged it last weekend. I dust the desk every time I do the living room anyway. So Toots, another star please. How did today go?


    Oh, and the washing is all dry and put away btw.

    I've done more washing up and cleaned the hob, carefully avoiding making it ding like last week!
