On a mission today as I go on holi-bobs on Sunday so don't want to come back to a messy house. Will be clearing/cleaning the fridge on Saturday night once the ankle-biters have gone to bed so that will have to wait. Bedding is going to wait till Saturday morning too so it's fresh when we get back... still lot to do in the meantime... Hope everyone is OK and will catch up with thread later... HHC x 52 million starting now he he

I was a substitute midwife yesterday. I went to visit the wife of one of DH's workmates who is having terrible trouble getting her baby to latch on. Got it sorted in 20 minutes with a bit of underarm positioning.

Bravo you :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

We're all washed and dressed now. I've just made a massive fruit salad to put in the fridge so i don't have to keep making them all the time for the boys. I'm just having some of it and then i will go and do my room. It makes sense to get that clean before i move all Ds2's stuff in.

Morning - just popped on to see if there was anymore news about pigpoo. Squeak is adorable - congratulations xxxxx
Big hugs and all spare vibes flying across the atlantic to your friend LL - hope you're giving those puddy cats lots of cuddles from me xxxxx
GnB - glad the op went well. Sorry to hear about the screw problem....I bet you feel like it's one step forward and two back sometimes. Massive, massive hugs to you and gentle hugs to your little one.
Juliejim - I've just done the same with my wardrobe. I could never work out why I always wore the same few things even though my wardrobe was full. So, if it didn't fit it went and if i wasn't sure when I'd wear something then that went too. Also, I'm trying to ditch stuff as it gets too big for me so I have a very minimalist wardrobe - only problem is we're going away for three weeks tomorrow and I don't even have a weeks worth of clothes. Oh well!

Hugs to you all xxxx

Ooooh .... flying .... washed bedding, packed food for holiday into crates and stacked on table, sorted out medicine cupboard, stuck dishwasher on! So much to do but need to go for blood test right now so will have to do it later!

Hugs again xxx
