Well the beef stew wasn't very nice. I made extra though, so there are 3 portions going in the freezer. It will still get eaten. I just don't think i liked the guinness in it - you could taste it too much. That sounds silly, i know!

Tomorrow we plan on movng the office furniture down from the spare bedroom (new baby's room) into the new office (freshly painted by DH today). I'm also going to try to rearrange the kitchen cupboards. Everything was just dumped in the first available space when it was first fitted and there are loads of adjustments to make. I quite like organising, so that should be okay. I just hope i'm alright on my feet for a while, cause i got tired too easy today. Being this pregnant feels like you're about 90 years old (i would imagine )

I must say, i have enjoyed my first day at this. It really helped me to remember what i needed to do and not get distracted. Hopefully i can keep it up next week at least to level one. WOO!

*blows raspberry* at KHs everywhere.:p Oh, and imho this includes delightful "gentlemen" who think throwing ladies down the stairs is a fun thing to do.:mad: I'm just thankful there were no kids involved, in my case.:o

Mind you, it does make you appreciate a good'un when you find him.:D

Off to play "Oblivion" on the PC now.... Mr LW is clearly in the mood for goblin-bashing.:rotfl:

Managed most of what I wanted despite grotty kids and OH. Dinner ruined by OH deciding Jake's colic is my fault and yelling at me. He's now gone to bed, so single Mum time again. Can current OH's be KH's too?
