Michelle, x
plus, as i have been on my many trips to the loo, i have taken up some empty boxes from the living room that need to go in the loft, took the baby box from landing into bathroom, took baby bath out of box and put box to go in loft pile, washed baby bath.
I also put the next load into the WM, although i will set it off tomorrow when the stuff on airers should be dry.
I'm feeling OK punky. thanks for thinking of me. I'm about to have a chill for a couple of hours before doing dinner.0 -

Pen-pen - how early would my little one have to be to arrive on your birthday? My mum reckons he will arrive on the 25th, as she had a gypsy go into her shop, and he said this would be a very happy day for her. (Maybe a mixed day for me)
Hi, Michelle! It'll be 5 days after my birthday, if the gypsy is right! My little sister was due on my 6th birthday, but came along 9 days late, and this has been a pattern ever since!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
You will certainly need to put your feet up after your baby's born. I remember several days where I never got around to getting dressed, let alone do much more. But just enjoy it. I'm getting very excited for you. Have you got DH to come on here an give us the details of the New Flybaby!?
I'm sat here sorting my bank account papers. Not much energy for much else! Will be back flying on Friday, so see you all then!

Morning Flybabes,
Going Oh so OT but DS1 has now turned into Kevin the Teenager (two years early)
After Mrs Fly and him had big falling out, him and me 'had words' this morning. I may have to take a day out from flapping (see - cunningly getting back ON topic), to have words/just spend time with.
will do my taps tonight (didn't last night)
I should do something in the bathroom as its my 'zone of the week', so I'll do the shower screen and the bath edge
Better WM and TD some shirts, too
Happy flapping
