    Thank you for the lovely welcome - I am trying to coax more of my pregnant ladies to join me over here!!

    I will take things steady but looking forward to the HHI posts if I catch them in time!!

    I'm coaxed!
    I'm no longer a pregnant lady, but i'm sure the baby will help me with the housework!

    I'm on mat. leave, with a new baby, and two older ones at school (although not this week!) - and I need some motivation. I keep sitting here, looking at what needs doing and not actually doing it.

    Can I join you starting Monday (or do we get Monday off?) please!

    Thankyou all for the lovely birthday wishes!! I ahve managed to acquire lots of cards, a slanket (search it, it's a blanket, with SLEEVES!!), vouchers for a nice shopping trip, and dinner and cake made by boyfriend :D:D:D

    I'm afraid I'm going to be MIA for about a week, I find that I'm a terrible procrastinator on here, and I have 3 exams next week that I really have to concentrate on.

    I'll see you all in about a weeks time, look after yourselves and your families, good luck to all with exams and special hugs for everyone who isn't feeling too well.

    Love to you all
