    Sexy Gratefuls comment is spot on-look at me..DF proposed in 2006 (same year DS was born) came rushing in to SA to get me over here quicksmart coz I just HAD to be his wife :D been begging since I got here to ACTUALLY get married-now DS will be 4 in June, I announced I was pregnant and 5 weeks later was married in a lovely ceremony that I ended up having for free;)
    Pigpen thanks for that (I think) Im 20 weeks now-had a spate of energy but it seems that the last few days Ive just had it taken out of me. Im still not sure when this ones coming. "He's" due 29th August, but I'll only find out at 30 weeks when they plan to cut me up. As for "it" not sounding right, I so agree. I didnt really think about the fact that I was calling "him" "he", it just happened and so Im sure its a boy. Will find out on Wednesday provided he cooperates. As it is, aside from my 12 week scan Ive only managed to hear about three seconds worth of heartbeat...

    ...but thinking of that, I have done a bit of flying-decluttered some food mags and put the recipes I want to keep in a tear file. And some more baby clothes arrived so I washed them and packed them away....so far Ive spent about £15 on ebay on baby bundles and I think Im ready to start looking for the next size up now. The bundle I had today had 38 items in it and cost me £5.50 :jand all next and John Lewis stuff.
    mumof just spotted your photo-he is TOO presh. Well done

    Then earlier this week (or maybe last week) Greenbee and someone else where talking about books and authors. I cant find those posts so may I ask for some recommendations please? Im currently reading "Angela's ashes" and then I have the sequel " 'Tis" and then Im out of reading material.
    I was suggesting that hex and any of the Norfolk flyladies read Rafaella Barker - Hens Dancing/Summertime/Green Grass are all linked. Poppyland is later and is also good. A Perfect Life didn't really do much for me. I love them, and she evokes the Norfolk landscape incredibly well - it makes me very nostalgic!

    Been for a walk... need to find some food and relax for a bit before getting myself sorted for tomorrow...

    Its really easy really.......baby was 5 weeks early...he was breech and the drs tried to turn him....(that was the most painful part) they inadvertantly put me into labour...but sent me home....my waters broke...baby was still breech so i was caterogrised as being high risk (plus I have quick labours...the shortest one being 7 mins) so ambulance took me to hospital and teams met me!! peads....consultants....anethists (sp) students ect..I was asked if i wanted a section I said not really...unless the baby gets into difficulty...i was given an epidural just incase....then told to push!! about 2.5 hrs from start to finish!! Easiest birth ever!!

    The bottom of the ladder...

    The orange thing is a bit of slate.
    the bluey thing is a bit of cardboard
    the curly wire appears to attach the ladder to the silver metal thing
    which is propped up on the right hand side by half a house brick.
    It is not secured in any other way...

    so I'm home alone with a botle of red :beer: Anyone want a glass :beer: Going to label some photos while I'm sat here :TPenny. x

    I will have to turn down the glass of wine and replace it with a cup of hot chocolate. I have given up drinking for a while and feel so much better for it :D

    I would love to meet you all in York for the next meet as I have halfway between M'Hall and York so both suit me fine.

    Congrats to moff - another one! He looks peaceful in that photo

    What else - not much flying this week and off to meet mum tomorrow and seach for some lovely containers to plant a couple of roses into
