Tea was off - it was my sense of smell that didn't pick it up but my taste buds did - meaning I had 4 dumplings for tea and 1/2 a box of after eight mints that I bought half price from Mr S - never mind emergency calls and at least I could taste the strong mint!

hey - that's my kind of tea !

Rach I hope baby stays put!

Hellyboo

Towels in WM - will wait and see what weather is like tomorrow before TDing them, toys tidied from LR floor, HHE done (feeling very smug) and quiche decluttered. Need to S&S kitchen, sterilise and make up bottles for DS2 and get the wretched breast pump out, feed him and then I can go to bed. Going to have a quick look through some cook books for inspiration for next weeks meals first though, and I might phone my Mum.

Rach, I hope the bub stays put! Cross your legs of the SPD allows! Seriously though, I had 2 sections, one emergency and one elective (although they really should have been the other way round) and both times I was calm, baby had a good agpar and we both recovered well, Make sure you get plenty of pain relief and ask for help though - your tummy will be sore so you'll need help sitting up etc to start with. With my first there was a specialist doctor there training people to use a new piece of equipment so there were about 30 people in the operating room! You lose all your dignity when you're pregnant! However it happens, we'll all be thinking of you and sending our love x

Triker, I hope the new window doesn't turn out too costly. Some people just don't realise how much they impact other people's lives when they do things like that. Someone slashed OH's tyres once - what they gained from that I'll never know - but it meant he had to buy 4 new tyres and have a day off work. Probably cost us £400 in all *&$%^£% *insert naughty word here*

Onestep, flowers are gorgeous, I hope you get some of the money back.

Toots, Poohbear, and anyone who wants/needs them, massive hugs to you x

What Craftyscholar said {{Hugs}}

Got all Level 1 and Level 2s done! :j Plus a few of my tidy-up-baskets unpacked. My first full week on this thread and it's been brilliant, thank you xx

Only annoying thing is I've lost my iPhone It's insured but I had loads of lists and my diary on there (not backed up ) so will be a real PIA to sort out. :doh:

poohbear59

Thank you Toots, You always make me smile xx I hope you are in bed now.

Thanks for the support too, serena, hellyboo, crafty and robber. I just seem to lurch from one crisis to another and everyone else from yesterday:)
Hex I miss our 'chats' too.

rach, lots of baby stay in place vibes for you !

DS2 made dinner tonight which has helped me a lot.

I want to try to get the living room sorted tomorrow so we can sit at the dining table for dinner. It is full of paperwork again!

DB is now living in my den/study so I do all my filing etc in the living room.

Does anyone else live with 5 men?:mad:

xx_Jo_xx

Morning all! Can't believe I'm awake at this time on a Sunday, but littley has football at 10 so I'm thinking, there's not much point in going back to sleep now!!

Glad to see your still with us Poohbear! I've been going missing from the thread for months, cos things have been bad. But it doesn't help; i miss the thread so get down about that!!

Anyway, think i will have a look at my list while kids are still sleeping and the house is quiet!!

Hugs vibes and spoons all round xxx

Good morning everyone :beer: DD has 3 friends staying (they were at a party around the corner from us). They came in very quietly and I slept through :T I have some soggy bananas, so I'm going to make banana chocolate muffins for their breakfast

Have a lovely day, everyone :A

Off to find me a list ................

xx_Jo_xx

Hi all,

Ive put a wash on, hung up the wet stuff all around the house, took my sister to work, picked up various cans and food cartons which were strewn around the street and put them in front of the house they belong to.

Fed the boys and looked out football kit. Is it wrong that I want the heavens to open so we dont have to go????
