    I am going to try to get the kitchen finished today. DH is in bed with a bad cold and it is an easier room for me to do on my own.

    My optician was lovely yesterday and is going to get in touch with the hospital to find out what on earth they were up to, as they didn't answer his question.

    He has given me a new prescription and is altering my lenses without charge:)

    I am another Teflon sheet user for my baking trays pigpen. They are fantastic and save all the washing of trays. I put a sheet of tin foil in the bottom of my ovens too. My DSs cook their own pizzas and the cheese tends to drip through the racks so it saves on me having to get down to scrub.

    I hope everyone is doing well. Especially Toots, I need to try to be better organised too as I have lost a building society book. Only about £30 in it but every litttle helps.

    I hope you are okay emma not too bruised.

    plus the list on post 3 lol

    With DD1 I bled heavily and constantly from 5 weeks until she was born.. I was in hospital and back and forth to hospital the entire time I was pregnant and she is fine. I was kept overnight first time at 14 weeks and last time at 35 weeks.. we got married the Friday.. I spent Saturday and Sunday night in hospital!! she was born at 37 weeks

    I was trying to be clever and you go and ruin it for me!:naughty::p:p ;):D

    I did bleed with DS but that was a lot later on. It is good to hear stories of healthy babies after bleeding :)

    I just want to be a yummy mummy with a spotless and super organised house!:rotfl:

    Ooops.. sorry lol...

    In that case.. I have bled with ALL of mine.. usually stopped after 14 weeks.. apart from DD1. DD3 I had a massive bleed at 34 weeks.. apparently a blood vessel in my cervix ruptured.. it had healed kind of a week later when she arrived.

    I bled at 4 weeks when AF was due. 6 weeks when implantation occurs and 10 weeks when the placenta kicks in.. then again at 12-14 weeks just to scare myself!

    Morning all

    Monday and Tuesday lists completed.

    It's cold and grey here and it's just started snowing but I don't think it will pitch.

    Waiting for Asda shopping now.

    Hope everyone's OK.
