sorry to hear about the loss of your grandma

Thankyou, on both counts, pavlovs dog.

Well I have been a human dynamo today. Last load of washing on, all ironing done, chilli batch cooked, tree and decs down (DH), meal planning and Mr S order done.

Unfortunately my bra exploded and so I have had to do emergency bra shopping (£100) it's no joke having extensive boobage. £50 of this was for nursing bras, so I figure that's joint expenditure as its DH's fault I'm pregnant. What does anyone think??

I have also done the puppy research I needed to do about hip/eye/elbow testing to check out the litter we are going to choose from at the w/e. All looks good, and the photos of the parents and puppies just twist my heart, they are gorgeous.

In two minutes I have pre-school and PE bags to organise and the laundry to put away. Its great to have the decs down.

what does DH stand for?
Simple question, hopefully easy answer.

depends on who you ask

you also get mortgage free (MF) specific acronyms such as OP (overpayment).

then there's the old style (os) ones - DW (dishwasher), WM (washing machine)

it's like a whole new language!!!

of course it depends on how friendly you are at that moment. It might be dratted husband.

You are a human dynamo today. I've done 2 loads of washing and that is about it. Oh, and potty training DS2 who has managed 2 wees on the potty and the rest on the floor, so i suppose that counts.

DPD has nailed it. In flylady we have some crazy ones like BD = black dog = depression, and on ttc (trying to conceive) some equally bonkers, like DTD (doing the deed) :rotfl:

Doncha just love potty training. Figure I'd better get DD1 out of nighttime nappies before baby arrives, I'm sure looking forward to that:eek:

I've conked out now, no juice left. I have coursework to annotate tonight to prove to my boss that I haven't marked it wrong, I've just [STRIKE]begged and pleaded with [/STRIKE] trained my students really well.

I also have to see the m/w tomorrow, and we have ofsted rumours, hoping ofsted have the good manners to wait until I have started maternity leave before they descend:rotfl:

GFH what is the deal with OFSTED?? Well its HMIE up here but DD1 nursery was done late last year and OMG the palava.. curriculum for excellece and such like.. confuses me.

I will wait a good bit till starting nightime training i think after todays performances. I am torn between persevering as i know he can wee on the potty, and also thinking i can't be bothered. Mainly as DS1 was a whole year in mastering number 2s so i just cannot face it apart from knowing it will be so much cheaper if i just do it.

Ofsted - oh no. My last brush was they were in the week that i went back to work after mat leave for DS2 although the only saving grace was i wasn't teaching, but i was left alone even more to fend for myself as everyone was so busy. I hope it is just a viscious rumour on your behalf.
