    Right, have just got back from taking bub to be weighed - little fatty weighs 10lb 1oz when last Thurs he was 9lb 2 1/2oz! health visitor says that now he has come up to his due date (he was 4 weeks early and quite poorly)

    Thats great news Hellyboo - Im glad little one is doing so well now. My little one was 9lb 2 1/2oz when he was born, so on the bright side, maybe he was just trying to make the birth eaiser for you and came a bit earlier! :D x

    Hugs for Natty, Toots, LL, LW and Rach, and anyone else who wants/needs. Ive been missing for a while, so dont know but where is Diva and Rosepink??

    I woke up soooooo early this morning, I dont know why. My last working day off so I guess I just want to make the most of it! :)

    I tried to post yesterday, sorted my list and everything, then I lost the connection.....I hate when that happens! So I gave up and went off in a strop with the computer and refused to talk to it.

    Anyway, didnt get much done in the house, but did both the front and back gardens yesterday as they were shamefully bad and really needed to be done. I have completely filled the large garden wheelie bin, but there is a huge amount of clippings etc in the front garden which I think I will just need to take to the tip - it will take a few runs up there but the garden rubbish isnt collected till Wednesday, by which time it will be all soggy and rained on and I dont want to be picking it up then and having to put it in the bin.... Bleurgh!

    So I best get on today as I want to at least try to finish as much of the lists as possible, so I am not stuck in cleaning all weekend.

    Have a good day all. TTFN xxxxx

    ETA: It does get easier mineallmine, I promise..... If you dont want to do it all, just set a timer for 15/30 mins and do what you can in that time. xx

    Morning All

    Yesterday didn't exactly go to plan as the couple of hours I was going to have here finishing the packing etc while the kids went to my mum's I spent at the doctor with Ds as he has a urine infection.

    So today I need to finish packing - it won't all go in 1 suitcase and then see where I go from there. DS has the dentist this afternoon for a filling so hopefully that will go okay and I need to take stuff to the CS as I have got 5 bags now.

    Hellyboo - sounds like your LO is doing great.

    Rach - take it easy.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
