    Hello everyone (waves)

    I've spent the day decluttering DS1 and 2's wardrobes. Tons of stuff to take to charity shop from DS2. Some of DS1's outgrown stuff will be saved for DS2, its hardly been worn. DS1 is currently growing like a runner bean so their is now 10 inches between their heights. This time last year it was 3! I also have some of DS2's bits to sell at NCT NNS in 2 weeks time.

    I had a great time at the party last night. My head is fine thank you for asking Lady Liberty. I left the house at 7.30am yesterday to get to the meet for 12. Got home at 1.45am - must be the longest I have ever been out of the house in a day. The meet was everything I hoped it would be, it was a pleasure to meet you all. I'm glad you all liked DH's goodies.

    DS2 was promoted to striker due to player holidays and he scored 4:eek:.
    This is very expensive for us as we promise him £5 for each goal he scores. As he is usually the lightning quick defender he scores about 2 a season. His manager is delighted and is looking at making the switch permanent.

    Need to GMAIG for DS3's birthday party next Saturday, I haven't got a clue who is coming. He's 6 on Wednesday and is my baby boy.

    Car in for service/mot tomorrow. I do hope I get it back before 4.30 as DS3 and DD2 have swimming lessons 10 miles away. That could be a very expensive taxi ride if its not.

    Will be back later to check for new thread.

    Thought I'd pop on and let you know Im not MIA-just been hiding and you can all blame Rach thank you for the futon. It's exactly the style DH had in SA, and its been occupied 3 times since it got here...first I hogged it a bit, then soldier boy and his missus occupied it (he says thanks loads too, as he hadn't been on duty Friday night so hadn't been to sleep since 5pm friday...and its loads more comfie than the old sofabed so they ACTUALLY slept last night), then I pulled it out to watch "up" this morning. I got up to reboot the last of the washing and came back to find DH passed out on it-he's still there.

    If you dont have anything to do whilst your DH is away you're more than welcome to come spend some time with us. DH was very impressed by all the musical instruments and came home and said "but are you sure she's the one that's pregnant" ;) and then went on about all the instruments and how he'd like to meet your DH.

    Glad it's useful, since I've had it it has only been slept on about 3 times so you've probably doubled that already!! Thanks for the text sorry didn't reply, was out with in laws then got back, was v sick and sorry for myself cos DH was away! Those bloomin guitars are right in the way and I am determined they're going under the new bed!!! They never get played these days, though DH is pretty good!
    Lol - I don't look v pregnant yet but only 15 weeks, someone did notice this morning at church though - depends what I'm wearing!!

    I plan to try to stick to lists next week but I have an appointment on Tuesday with the anesthetist, wednesday 20 week scan and thursday is physio. They're al at the hospital and its in the next borough so it takes me about an hour and a half to get there using public transport. Its hilarious, three hours thravel time for 30 minutes of "seeing someone" and it usually takes it out of me.
    can't remember what hosp you're under...it takes me that long to get to work and back every day :(

    Well church went fine, everyone seemed to enjoy the service and then I nipped to Mr S and then to pick up some nappies I'd bought of a netmum, £10 for about 15 unused so worth a 5 mile drive!

    Once I got back DH was just up so we went out for some lunch and then decided to start working out how we're going to rearrange our study and spare room. It's crazy there is only 2 of us with 2 double sized spare rooms but we can't work out how everything will fit once we get the cotbed and new double bed for spare room. :eek: I think we just have to get rid of some furniture and store things like towels (which are currently in a spare canvas wardrobe) in lidded boxes under the bed. I also want to get rid of a carpy wardrobe that's in the study left by previous tenants, we really don't need it.

    We're going to ik*a tomorrow eve to get a bed then we can hopefully work it out as we go along. Some book cases and the desk, filing cabinets etc are to move from study into spare room, small sofa from spare room to study...could be fun!!!

    I'll also happily take cotbed/moses basket bedding from anyone who is chucking it :)
