  • Morning all

    Welcome back determined!

    Well it was an early start this morning as I had a midwife appointment at the hospital which is 70 miles away :o All fine apart from I may have an infection which at 33 weeks pregnant is not what I need.

    So my DFW list for today:-

    • [STRIKE]Go to midwife appointment[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]OH to feed cats and change water[/STRIKE]
    • Put dry laundry away
    • Wash up
    • [STRIKE]Have lunch and drink plenty of fluids today[/STRIKE]
    • Bit more tidying in the baby's room
    • Generally tidy
    • Sit on the sofa and be lazy as I'm feeling a bit tender today!
    Hope everyone is having a great day :)
