    Good morning, just!

    I have my niece here so haven't had a chance to read any posts. I hope you are all well.

    Hope you are having a lovely time and that she is not too jet lagged

    A bit off topic, sorry, but have just been told to look out for new-style 20p coins. Apparently theres about 50,000 in circulation that havent got a date on (should say 2009 around the edge) and they're worth about £50 already!!! Keep a look out

    Mine heard about this a while ago and wanted to open the sealed 20p jar to look - I said no! I think it is no date on either side (they were changing the side) not around the edge but could be wrong - there is a thread on it on here somewhere.

    Toots - hope you are coping ok in the heat (I've been bitten again:mad:) so back on the Anti Hs later - I may have to drive again yet and they are the drowsy ones so need to wait a bit

    Got all my jobs done in town, got a bit delayed by bumping into people I know.

    Just taken the sewing machine outside to do some mending. Also found an old floral duvet (superking) which I want OH to put sail holes in so I can use it as a garden shade country living mag styli.

    Because I'm supposed to be on 'sofa rest', my lists are just what I manage to get done. Plus it's wayy too hott for me and my bump. Summer hols up here so the kids are around all day too.

    So far today I have...

    Dishes
    S&S kitchen
    2 WM
    1 out on the line, 1 folded waiting on space
    Poop-picked the back garden
    Collected dirty washing from kids room
    Emptied TD (but not put it away)

    I need to make a list of stuff needing done before baby arrives, but it's going to be huge. Sitting down with a cold drink right now so will do that and get car insurance quotes.

    Found out on Thursday night that poor old ds3 has taken after me and is reacting badly to insect bites..his are finally beginning to calm down but they were really nasty, hope you get some relief from the anti-hs when you take them.

    Your potential garden shade sounds lovely!

    Twenty items ironed, time to have a quick shower and pick Hamish up from school.
