  • Update!

    Spoken to the midwife and she wants to see me later but she said don't be alarmed as its more of an ache than a pain and they saw me last Friday so they are not too concerned.

    More things to do now:-

    • Post EBay items
    • List more EBay stuff
    • Ring vets, register new addition and make appointment for first vaccination
    • Ring scanning place to book in for 3D scans - expensive but my 1st child!

  • Morning all

    Got a day off work today as DDs A level results are out and I'm as nervous as she is :o.

    We've already had a call from the Uni who want her to call them back as soon as she knows what her results are...I hope that's a good sign.

    If it were me we would've been waiting outside the school at 7am, but DD is more of a head-in-the-sand person and so is delaying getting them. When we went to get her GCSE results a couple of years ago, it took her 15 minutes to open the envelope :(, so I hate to think what it'll be like today with so much hanging on the result.

    Wish us luck!

    • Check bank & update spreadsheet
    • Surveys – 30p
    • Possibly enter some comps
    • Keep an eye on ebay stuff
    • Lunch & dinner from stores
    • HC and probably dry on the airer as there’s rain forecast for later

    Hope you feel better soon Peaches!

  • Morning All:

    Productive list for me today hopefully ;)

    Check banking
    tea from stores
    freeze some cooked chicken and stock I made from the bones for use at at a later date (must do it in portions - and label so we don't have 'lucky dip' teas) :o
    decide what else in the fridge to freeze, after revising my meal plan for the rest of the week and writing one for early next
    quick hoover round
    carry on tearing recipes out of magazines (about half way there) - then I'll have to organise them, I can feel labels and colours and tabs and thing coming on... home exciting!) :p
    washing on, drying outside
    make jelly for pudding, must be good and stick to WW this week, went off rails a bit last week, with a few too many pudding (although they were scrumptious;))
    maybe make a small batch of twinks hob nobs.... have friends coming round later
    try and find a way to descale one of our toilets, tried cheap coke and it got some off, but, still more on there..

    think that's about all folks,

    have a great day everyone x :)

    I'm doing a couple of hours at work later as a favour for a friend. An extra £25 on payday and they owe me a favour. Happy times :)

    Jonno - there is a post on the grabbit thread - M&S have an offer of two bottles of bleach with limescale remover for 70p. That might do the trick.

    Must dash, as I am at work - but it is my last day so I am being naughty and coming on here!:p
