    So pleased to hear Rach's news! Congratulations to her and her DH. 7lb 9oz - so much for the health professionals saying it was a large baby. I have said it so many times - the mysteries of pregnancy and childbirth are not an exact science!

    Where's my list.....

    Morning all,

    Congratulations Rach & DH. :jI can't wait to see a picture.:D

    Ds2's room is ready for painting so i'm just going to finish my dailies and get the 1st coat on. My room must be cleaned today as i'm having a new radiator fitted tomorrow. It's going to be fun making enough room for him to do it in considering my room is crammed with Ds2's stuff and there's not much space.:cool:

  • Congrats to Rach. Hugs from the north are winging their way to you both.

    I started well this morning - cat litter, 2 x WM, cleaned kitchen bin (fairly gross) and have been to podiatrist. I now have a big bandage on my left big toe and it is throbbing! Just having a coffee and then I'll see how it is. I had great plans to fly all day as I don't need to go out again or even cook. DH has said he will take me out for dinner to celebrate his good health!
    I'll report back later ...
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
