    oh dear babygates - just another hazard for me to contend with!

    I was going to clean the bathroom while I wait for my hairdye but I figured I'll have to wipe the dye off afterwards so won't bother yet!
    First hairdye I've used that has gone straight on looking like the colour it's supposed to be!

    Quillion.. not sad at all... I have teflon sheets for my trays so they stay in good condition.. I can then wipe the teflon.. that never gets washed just wiped with a soapy cloth and rinsed under the tap.. and I use it for everything.

    I do want some of the ovenliners though.. the bottom of mine gets vile and I can't kneel on the floor to clean it properly... sounds like a job for.. Super-OH .. lol

  • Hi,

    Just popped on at work to say morning :) Not had chance to catch up properly (should be reading training stuff not the net!)

    This morning went ok, dd played nice for a change and stuck to the plans :) I had a little panic when dd had gone to the childminders but I pulled myself together and made it into the office on time.

    Just text the minder to make sure she is ok, have been sitting on my hands all morning trying not to! She says she's fine :)

    Not so much flying but I have cleaned my desk and pinned up photos of dd :)

    Hope everyone is well and having a good fly day

    Smartie are you ok? Have you seen the doctor or midwife or someone about the bleeding and feeling ill? It sounds very worrying

    I saw a silly old man doctor who had the "oh well not much you can do about it" frame of mind:mad:

    I have a scan in 2 weeks time so I'm praying that bean is ok. Bump is getting huge already so I'm guessing bean is fine and just being a bit naughty!

    Don't worry everyone - I am taking it easy BUT the house is getting to be a disgusting mess:eek: I'm doing little bits at a time. I can't wait to get to a stage where I can do a MAJOR declutter!!

    Hmmm... my extra sensitive pg senses tell me there are other pg ladies round these parts;) Not fair... you put me to shame!:p:p

  • Morning lovelies!!!

    Bit late joining this morning as OH let me have a lie in bless him! He had to do an airport run this morning @ 5am and got back just in time to get the kids ready for school. He's having a snoooooze now so I'm off to do the kitchen (worse list of the week don't you think?)

    Much love and hugs to all that need them...have skimmed the thread and completely forgotten everything Ive read, darn I'm rubbish at that... sorry:o:rotfl:

    Back in a bit to see how Ive done (and how long it took me!)

    More dot2dotting completed and I have even hoovered the bit of carpet I have found!

    The landing and our bedroom now look tips *sigh* but i know it is all part of the plan to get this place straight once and for all.

    Shall sort the landing now before it gets any worse.

    One response to freecycle already :D

  • I've washed up, and done a mega filing/shredding session. Have completely cleared the "to shred" pile, and am now keeping up with bits of shredding that I'm finding in the big bag of paperwork. I need to do more shredding from my folders of ancient bank statements etc so I can use the folders for the more recent stuff.
    I completely cleared the table last night as things had been dumped on top of my nice piles of paperwork. DH has been given strict instructions not to put anything on top of those piles again so that I can get on with sorting paperwork, instead of using the time moving things off the piles.

    DH also has been given our wedding certificate which I found, bit worried about giving it to him but he needs to take it somewhere to show someone and then will be bringing it back. Scary stuff, it's going out of the house! I don't like important docs leaving the house, if they stay here and get lost then we know they are in the flat at least. If they are out of the house and get lost, they could be anywhere!

    I've got to cook dinner tonight so am going to start that soon. Going to make mince and lots of veg in pasta sauce.
