  • Well done Rachelet - I think you've done better than me. But I did:
    * empty the dishwasher
    * sort the recycling
    * put away the dishes and pans on the stove which dried overnight
    * put loo-cleaner down the loos
    * emptied the airing cupboard and folded/put away all the clothes

    Yes: a cup of tea is definitely in order; then I'm aiming to crack on again at 11:00am to tackle the sitting room. Hasn't had a *really* good clean since July...:eek:.

    Off to boil kettle....

    speak to caroline (in UK from Tues)
    phone hospital re looking round labour ward/dvd tour
    put paper in wardrobe drawers to line them

    chase up mum re sending her old phone
    order more nursing bras
    organise lifts for Thursday's hosp visits
    Wipe over bouncy chair cover
    wash towels
    clean bathroom
    hoover through in time for Wed am flat inspection (DH)

    Monday - Karen coffee, DH out in eve
    Tuesday -
    Wednesday - flat inspection
    Thursday - consultant 11am, DH out in eve, BF session at hospital
    Friday - DH home

    my dilemma today is whether to phone ante natal and try and hassle to get my hosp appt moved back to tomorrow, when it originally was, rather than thursday when it now is. Not sure if it's worth it or not.
