Hope all goes well Rach and congrats to Grateful. Everyone I know seems to be having babies at the moment and it is making me broody. Not sure why I am broody though, I have four kids and the youngest is only 4 months old so I shouldn't really be wanting anymore. Especially as I am giving away all the clothes that the baby has grown out of to my friend so I am determined to have no more kids.
Didn't do anything yesterday as it was the two oldest day off school and they had dance classes in the morning and football training in the afternoon, so spent all day running them around and tending to their needs.
Am going to try harder today to try and catch up with yesterdays list as well. Anyone up for a HHC at 9:45 to 10:15. I need to get started today!DD1 born May 2002, DD2 born Dec 2005, DS born Dec 2008. Baby due May 2010! TEAM PINK!!

Well got quite a bit done in my HHC, Managed to clean one bathroom completely including the shower which only got a quick wipe over last week, so was looking horrible! Also got the washing in as it looks like it is going to rain later and fed the sheep and goats and one lot of chickens.
Having a bit of a rest while I download some CDS to my laptop ready to go onto my Ipod.
