    Good morning everyone

    Im off to a late start but I have been cuddling my little boy out in the garden-its lovely here today. Still have that headache but baby is wriggling loads so no nausea.
    Rach do take it easy, I tried in the beginning to get it all done because I'm worried about my hips going in the next few months-but its left me worse off.

    My plan today is to finish the kitchen and get a start on the living room. But I have a few errands to run today including running a paddington bear to the post office so he can wing his way to our one year old niece in South Africa (whom we've yet to meet:( )

    Bloody window cleaner has arrived... he NEVER says when he's coming, never knocks... first thing I know is when he appears at the window... and I bet he's blocked the skip in. And I'm not due to go out for another 10 minutes, although I did PLAN to get changed and nip to the loo first... looks like I'll have to go as I am!
