    mel - I'm going to be doing the holiday grand plan again - but I think I'll start a month early on the cleaning and decluttering side anyway - then I'll be ready for november and baby coming.

    You'll maybe get that cleaning instinct thingy then you'll just have to do it :rotfl:.

    If you need another oven to clean......................... :D

    scattymam:How is your baby bump coming on? how many weeks are you now? hope you are well and looking after yourself!

    up since 4.30am to get kids up and out for their trip, they won't be back till late tonight but my kind FIL will pick them up for me!

    need to visit a friend who's 40 today before work, do work! and then just me and dd2 for the evening . Although it is nice to have time on my own I always feel slightly at odds when I don't have my full compliment of children! Me and dd2 are going to make cupcakes and meringues for grumpy son's birthday on saturday. he'll be 14 and is sooooo grumpy at times , not all the time thankfully but aaaargh! at times can be so rude!

    hope you all have a lovely Thursday whatever you are doing, Mx

    I failed :(

    My Good Twin/good friend is turning 30 tomorrow. I should know this because she and I were born on the same day. I completely forgot about her and had to do a last minute order with Hotel Chocolat complete with expensive shipping for next-day delivery. 14% Quidco and a 10% voucher are not sufficient to assuage my guilt and embarrassment.

    yes I'm doing well thanks mhagster - the sickness isn't half as bad as it was. I'm about 19weeks now. I have my ultrasound either next week or the week after! so I'll know boy or girl at that one. Excited to get all organised and hoping the nesting instinct kicks in soon. I've been doing loads of tidying and decluttering - but it's the cleaning I hate doing. all needs to be done by late october - and that's crimbo too.
    Bought some pledge dusters for the babies room from home bargains the other day - as it needs a good deep clean.

    Thanks jamtart :)

    Due the end of July but she's been making escape attempts for a month now so as long as I can manage to hold onto her is fine with me.

    I sent a chocolate goddess - I thought it looked pretty cool.

    Id be happy with a choccy goddess but thats me :)

    I need to pick a organised list at some point today i guess
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    One of the main reason's I signed up for this thread is because I managed to forget my Dad's birthday this year, so SugarSpun, you're in good company!

    I've been reading through Mel's house organising lists, and wondering which one to use. However, most of my mess is outside (half finished repairs, painting, clutter etc) so I might have to make up a variation of my own.

    Tell you the truth, those lists scared me :eek: seemed like there was soooooo much to do.
