    Hello everyone :)

    I've had a guest this weekend and have been rubbish at cleaning and keeping on top of stuff. My list for tomorrow:

    [STRIKE]*finish work plan
    *email it over[/STRIKE] not any more...
    [STRIKE]*check transcription[/STRIKE] it hasn't arrived :mad:
    [STRIKE]*go fetch parcel[/STRIKE]
    *put laundry away ([STRIKE]three[/STRIKE] four lots of five done, last one awaiting folding and will be put away tomorrow because the baby's gone to bed so I can't do it tonight)
    [STRIKE]*put dishes away
    *do more
    *put glasses away
    *next load of grown up laundry
    *baby laundry
    *nappy laundry
    *go to Accessorize for flip flops[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]*text mother first thing (it's her birthday)
    *call her in the evening[/STRIKE] (got out of the way early)
    [STRIKE]*remind OH about insurance and emails to various people
    *clear off dining table
    *go through box in bathroom[/STRIKE]

    Totally doable... *wince*

    Still no baby?

    I needed to keep busy, makes time go quicker! Plus I thought I'd never go into labour if I was sitting around doing nothing! Have taken a break from Flylady though, just been doing the basics. But despite a nice walk this morning and last night's full moon, still no sign of baby coming...
    but we're hanging on with bated breath over there waiting for this babe...

    well I attacked under the sofa (bloody corner groups are not easy to move around or lift when 9 months preggers :rotfl:) kinda got a bit keen too and removed all the covers, hoovered under the cushions, febreezed them, rotated the cushions.....wiped down the walls (damn cream walls with 2 kids!) wiped down the skirting, cleaned the coffee table, had a move around and dusted the glass shelving unit. Still want to do my computer desk-big sort out needed with paperwork :o
    Oh and I have a new job too, text received from OH to ask me to link the wii to bbc i player, sod knows how i'm going to that :rotfl:

    Eeeeek ! With these babies due, it's like the pregnancy thread here. It better not be catching!:eek: I had a dream the other night I was pregnant, told DH about it and we laughed a bit, but then SIL came over that same day and said she had a dream that I was pregnant. Since she always seems to be right on that front (predicted exactly when I was going to be pregnant months prior for both DS2 & DS3), we're a little nervous now. :rotfl:

    Best of luck to those expecting. I'm just sitting here miserable with a rotten cold, sniffling and sneezing.
