    Thanks for the heads-up LL

    She (and you) are so often in my thoughts.

    Hi All

    Just popping in to say I have heard from toots apologies if anyone else has posted ..... I haven't read back :o

    She is staying in hospital for another week so they can redo her treatment, she didn't get the full benefit from it last time due to the op ..... she sends her love to everyone :D


    Love & hugs from me too xx

    Thanks LL - I'll stand by Sunday evening on her behalf .....

    Sounds like you got some good deals there Valli

    Oh joy unbounded. I've just discovered a planning application for a mahoosive development right in my backyard.

    I guess I now know how my weekend is panning out (I knew it was dangerous to have nothing in the diary!). I will be mustering the troops and the objections...

    ~sigh~

    I thought so

    Fascinator for £29 was £79, similar on the bag and skirt. The matching blouse wasn't reduced by as much but it's a church do and I'm there all day and I need to look smart (and I am so pleased I won't have a blimmin hat on) and I can always wear it to the races as per my list on facebook...or tea at the Ritz...

    Well not a thing got done today.. OH and DD1 banished off to tesco.. it is amusing for them.. people look at them obviously trying to work out the relationship.

    I am disgustingly tired despite me not having blubbered too much today.. I think I may spend the weekend without the children asleep!! lol... actually I need to vacuum the bedroom, sort the remaining school clothes and move a chest of drawers so te crib can be placed at OH's side of the bed. He is tasked with passing me a hungry baby when it wakes during the night.. I am praying his mum doesn't want to come stay and 'help' once it arrives.. I think I'd have a breakdown.

    and we need a name for baby...

    Why do you need to do all that stuff just now? Can't it wait?

    As to OH's Mum, you just don't answer the door...

    The baby will have a name when it arrives. You'll be surprised (though probably not!) how easy a name pops into your head once the wee one is born xxx

    I'm glad she is being looked after, but it will be good to have her back again.

    Ocado about to knock on the door in the Sassy Strawberry van.

    Ironing all done
    Labelling all done

    Lovely DH tidying up from dinner (which he never even gets due to working such long days and eating at work)

    not sure tbh the others have ordinary but not common names.. boys names are just very different.

    I've been stroppy instead lol

    It is killing time until sproggit arrives.. I need to be busy I think

    As to OH's Mum, you just don't answer the door...

    Not when she has driven over 100 miles!

    ok, so nothing definite but a few ideas would be good.. we have nothing in mind.
