    morning all

    Up far too early (been up for an hour and been awake since 5) but at least I can now sleep later.

    I've had my mum here which has been fab, she has worked like a trooper and baby's room is now all sorted. One load of baby washing to do, a lightshade to go up and a picture to move but otherwise all done. We (well she) washed all the net curtains which look loads better of not sparkling, cleaned all the windows etc etc. Extra storage bought for under cotbed and sofa in baby's room, baskets for change table etc. Went for a meal to pizza exp with mum and Mil last night, lovely to natter with them both. Dh was even on good form and having a laugh with her at teatime yesterday. She even cut and painted my toenails, which I can't reach!!

    Mum will be round in a bit, so I am going to jump in the bath, she has to leave about 10 so want to make the most of time with her first. I am going to be a bit lost when she goes. I have my scan at 3.20 today to find out if the baby is breech and how big it is likely to be, whether I can try for natural birth or not.

    Wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to toots for the lovely package which arrived yesterday - beautiful, thank you so much. Proper thank you will be with you soon. xxx

    What a morning so far, i found some hair in the sink and on the bathroom floor. I get the kids up to find DS2 has cut big lump of hair out of the back of his head. :mad::mad::mad::mad: he has loads of bald patches. School photoes to be done on monday so at least it was the back.

    DS1 now looking a bit pale but says he feels fine. Rhys still up coughing through the night. So not much sleep. He did loosen up abit with the steam (thanks Dusty).

    So i'm gonna get 2 ready for school, leave them to school and come back and try and get a nap on the sofa.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Good morning all, Hope you are all well xx

    DD is eating like a horse this morning and that usually means she will be ill with a sickness bug in the next week, so fingers crossed I'm wrong.

    Ok, I have doctors at 11:10 and want to go to Home Bargains after work, so need to find my list and see what can be done before that......

    Morning all

    I've caught the boys sore throat/cold so a nice quiet day of sorting and paperwork on the cards for me.

    Hoping to get loads done, catch up later.
