    What exciting (half)news to get up to :j How long until you can test Susan?
    I'm not planning to do a test because I'm charting. Officially you're supposed to have a raised temperature for twenty days but based on the range of my luteal phase length I reckon I can be reasonably sure by next Thursday.

    That all sounds incredibly convenient Susan. If you don't mind my asking, do you have the six-month supplies because you were TTC or just because you do?

    Lovely pics Beenie and Caz

    Oooh Susan how exciting. I very much hope it's good news and also that it doesn't get as bad as before.

    Can't remember what else I was going to say after your news Susan!!

    It's grey and miserable and wet here today. Wanted to clear the washing backlog but no chance today.

    Gahhh. There's a pile of stuff on the floor of the office. It belongs to Husband, and I've asked him to put it all away about seven times in the last nine days, which is how long it's been there. Molly is now playing with it, and since I've spent ages trying to teach her that stuff on the floor is for Molly and stuff on the shelves is not for Molly. I'm not about to confuse the issue by taking it off her, so now I have to do emergency distraction and triage the stuff as best I can.
    Vintage magazines ... off the floor. Old playing cards ... Molly can have them.

    Still, lots of work done this morning and it's all starting to come together. There's still tons of nitpicky work to do on the book project, but the proposal is almost ready, my one separate article is drafted and I'm coming to the end of editing the other for publication. Today's main task is the introduction for the book, which needs to be done before we submit the proposal. I have another article that I'm also working on, and these four projects are the sum of what I have left to do. Phew!

  • SS - the fairies arrived yesterday :D (although dumba$$ neighbours held onto package until this morning) will pose for pics later - thank you xx

    Susan - is your temp raised?

    Gorgeous pics Beenie and Caz - not sure I would be so calm about my baby jumping in the water but I guess I am gonna have to learn :o

    MDW - Benjamin loves that game too :D

    Salesshopper - how are you finding mummyhood 8 weeks in? Have things calmed down a little?

    Well after his hour and a half of talking and singing to himself last night I have a tired babba this morning. He took his Percy train with him to the CM and then refused to share it :o I think he may be having a morning nap this morning!
