    Lara - have decided on the birthing centre, was just a bit more homely and nicer than hospital part. I can hopefully use pool too.

    Dinah - yep a girl! I wouldn't mind either but i am a very girly girl so suits me! Well done on paying £500 off the debt. that is great how well you are doing on the selling cakes too.

    That was very good of Tesco considering how many requests for freebies they must get! Hope you sell lots more cakes today! :)

    Had an e-mail today about what's going on in the building for Comic Relief and every department but ours is doing something fun like dressing up, having quizzes, doing bake sales... all we're doing is joining in with the general dress down day. What a miserable bunch we are! I asked my friend who works in the same office what the deal was and he said, 'Because IT's full of boring b*stards'... 'nuff said.

    Going to see McFly tomorrow! Super excited!!!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Glad you made your decision Wendz. I preferred the birthing centre too. Hope you get to use the pool!

    My sister is in the hospital at the moment having her section (baby is breech). My nerves are gone waiting for the news. My prediction is a girl but can't wait to find out what she has!!!

    Dinah - great news re: Tesco and your debt also

    Birdie - enjoy McFly!

    Lara - congrats on the exam!

    Let us know when s/he arrives CMD - I love hearing about babies arriving, even strangers babies!

    Free listing weekend for anyone that hasn't seen it yet and is interested. I need to get quotes for all the items for my grant application, and finish the business plan, but realistically I have about 4 hours work left on it, so I'm planning to go to town on ebay and get the last of the first round of clutter cleared. Once all this is listed, there is an attic and shed full of junk still to shift!

    My friend and I decided where we're going in April - Ibiza. I (not for the first time) wish Tete were still on the thread as I know she's been a few times and I'd like to know we're picking the right area.

    Due a sunny weekend this weekend, hoping NIM and I can clear the front garden, although he's been complaining of his knee a lot lately so I can see this ending up just being me!

    Have a MS tonight at the pub in front of the house I want to renovate - I'm not sure my mind is going to be entirely on the food!

    Which area are you planning on goinbg to? I have been 3 times now so know a bit about some of the areas.

    I dont know how you have the patience for ebay! Unless something is realistically going to make me at least £10 I just cant be bothered with it! Also the fact that really I dont really have that much stuff that I could sell anyway.

    Wonder if this is a tactic so he can watch the rugby this weekend since it is the big one between Ireland and England.
