    Maybe the forum needs to be down more often. I have written 777 words so far today so am over halfway to my minimum word count. I have also finished our HUGE pile of ironing. OH unfortunately didn't take the hint while he was off so the other day I split it into 3 piles and tackled 1 each day.

    Just finishing my lunch then back to some more research.

    Good news - if she's 2cm dilated, she's in labour already :j
    Apparently it doesn't count until her waters break... she's allowed to keep working till then :eek: Good thing she's not in the office... she's been on bed rest for the last month.

    This is *after* I was making lunch, took a pot of pasta sauce out of the fridge, dropped it and spent twenty minutes and an entire roll of kitchen paper wiping it off the floor, the cupboards, the *underside* of the cupboards (how?), the plug sockets, the tiles (mm...orange grout, nice!), the hob and the kettle. :rotfl:

    The contents of my bin currently look like somebody cleaned up after a M a fia gourmet assassination....

    Morning all

    Been giving my kitchen a deep clean this morning. Not finished but looking so good.

    Anyone who has fallen off the wagon or is disheartened I've found my GUAG and now the house is getting cleaner and tidier I feel so much bette. Once you start it is easier to carry on.

    Greenbee - following in your steps I have a friend coming around who I parted company with a good few years ago. I'm in a different place now and feel able to build some bridges and this is partly inspired by you doing it so thank you.

    Toots - it was the estate agents so guessing now it's had a bit of decorating done it is going to be let again. It is the house that is at right angles to me (it is in the next street as we are both on the corner

    Just going to finish cleaning the sink and then an hour in the garden drinking tea with a friend - going to put some sun cream on.

    Toots I have heard from Lady-L she's OK. She has been helping me out with a few things and telling me off for not taking my meds.
    I'm blaming my Dr for me not taking my meds. She says I need to take them in the morning but I forget so I'm back taking them at night and I'll tell her I take them in the morning!:D
    *puts hands on hips and taps foot*
    Right, FFP, what you need is a daily alarm in your mobile phone. That's how I remember my meds.
    Or do I need to come and feed you your tablets? I have some experience here, as one of the little dogs I had staying recently had to have two tablets and a dose of liquid medicine every morning.
    *image here of the Wolf wrapping FFP's tablets in a piece of ham*:D
    Discovered yesterday that they 'forgot' to send me home with a drug I should have been taking since the procedure and for the next month at least, so a tad annoyed.
    A tad annoyed?? I'd be spitting neutrinos! I hope there won't be any awful adverse results to you not having the drug.
    Oh, and thanks for the info on tadpole husbandry - I found it very interesting.:o

    Birthday Greetings to Stefjb.

    Better go and see what I can do in the [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] spare room now, I guess. Some is already done, but I need to flap a duster around still.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Afternoon all

    Today's list done :)

    One load of washing already dry and folded and I'm just summoning up the energy to put it away.

    Out later, going into town and then to see Rufus Wainwright tonight.
