    Thanks for the hurrays guys and hels (shudder) :eek:I am terrified of the dentist. When I had an extraction last year felt sick and weak all day so don't push yourself too much.
    Nice one embb can cost alot to get asbestos removed.

    Anyone else soaked after the school run lol. DD2 walked in her wellies and little umbrella, but was still soaked. Mind you jumping in every puddle on the way there and back can't have helped :rotfl:.

    Going to dry off and have a drink, then do some flying whilst doing tea.

    Really pleased with doing some more work in RoD - will it ever be straight?

    aj - I was the same when I did mine; anything rather than write the dissertation. Spent many an all-nighter on it when the chapter deadlines were due! Keep going!
    ALI - fab news - congrats
    Mrs B - I have visions of you with all your black streaks :rotfl:Reminded me of turning up to GS's 3rd birthday an hour early and DD saying can you make a Pingu cake? (she had baked it, but expected me to decorate it and I am not very good!). I had to mix black colouring in the ready to roll icing - it took ages to get it off my hands.

    Hope everyone is OK or at least OK-ish!

    Ok didn't get much flying done yesterday or this morning as still feeling sick, but confirmed the reason is a new baby on the way :j.

    After losing a baby at Easter (sadly no heartbeat on the first scan), we aren't telling alyone in the "real" world yet. But I thought I could let you fly ladies know.

    Really need to get flying as this will be baby number 4 :eek:. So need to keep on top of the housework even more :rotfl:.

    Having to fly around after tea when the sickness eases off, but trying to do bits in the day as I can.

    Aiming for level 1/2 if I can.

    Congratulations what fab news, :jU look after yourself and rope some1 else in to help with FLYing ;)

    Alibob - congrats my love. Fingers crossed everything's fine this time.
    Smileyt - top news !
    ffp - what a lovely bed!

    Well, what a palaver that was! The RAC, bless 'em, were out in 10 minutes. He pumped the tyre up then followed me down to the tyre place about half a mile away. I wave him off go to get the wheel lock thingies and they ain't there!

    Hunt high and low - no joy. Then I remember that when I had the car MOTed in July, at the garage across the road from the wheel place, they removed the wheels to change the brakes.

    To cut a very long story short. The MOT garage ended up hacking off the locking wheel nut of the flat tyre wheel for me. I drive back over the road to get the tyre fixed (there was a nail in there, only cost £20 which was good!). I am now in negotiations with the MOT place about replacing the locking nuts.

    However, it all took over two hours and I'm soaked. Hey ho, at least I had time to do one more coat of an area of living room floor before the RAC came out.

    I really will need that Gordons tonight!

    Soappie - that is a nightmare! Locking nuts can be more trouble than their worht.

    DS3 homework completed
    Dinner half prepped

    Think I'll have a quick look at what is wrong with the other blind and then do DS3 dinner before football.

    Spent this afternoon clearing the spare room/study/packing station to make it into a nice bright room for the baby as we seem to be disturbing her a bit at night. Not done completely but getting there and starting to look really quite nice :) Means quite a bit of decluttering is being done in the process. Also managing to do some housework so all the lists now stand as such:

    Level Two
    Wipe the paintwork.. inc. the skirtings behind the sofas!
    Level Three

    Extras
    1. Wipe the hand rails, banisters and spindles
    Tooooooooooooosday ~ Kitchen and Dining room!
    Level Two
    Wipe units and cupboard fronts
    Wipe and replace all small appliances
    Level Three
    Clean out the microwave.. or another appliance if you are without
    Dust and dewed.. and clean the blinds/curtains

    Extras
    1. HHI
    2. Run appliances through a clean wash.. and clean filters and door seals!
    Watching How Clean is Your House with a coffee and feeling a great deal better about mine now! Poor DD is getting really quite stressed about the "yakky house" and keeps hiding her eyes!
    Love and compassion to all x
