As predicted not much sleep, docs with DS1 later, although he is much perkier today (and going on and on about going to the ball park :cool:) he is still hot. Hoping he can go back to school tomorrow. OH is coming home from work at lunchtime so I should still get some flying done. DS2 kept his bottle down this morning and hasn't been coughing too much, although his nose is all blocked now and struggled to breath when I was feeding him this morning, so need to get him some nose drops too, although I didn't find them much use when DS1 was like that. It's never ending, isn't it!

By the way, quick question for anyone in the know. When I was pregnant with DS2 last winter I had the swine flu jab, does that mean he gets the benefit of it too? There's loads in the press about an epidemic of it in under 5's and we've all been poorly in one way or another for weeks now, I don't need that too...

Happy Birthday Greenbee and glad that you had a good talk with now not ex-OH!

Hello to more new Flyers - just take it really steady, do what you can and try to stick with it. It does get easier I promise! I was missing for a big chunk of time and only been back about 4 weeks but already finding it's getting easier .

Just had a phone call from Health Visitor from our new surgery - she sounds lovely. She's offered me a home visit as I'm on the Mental Health Register but I've declined as in regular contact with my GP. Nice to know they are interested though isn't it.

It's against MSE rules to ask or give advice on health matters - best see your doc and ask his/her advice Hope you're all better soon.

Anyone fancy a HHC 9.45 - 10.15? I've had a cup of coffee and it's recharged my batteries!

In my first HHC I've tidied the kitchen, and mopped half the floor. Waiting for that to dry so that I can move the table back and do the rest I'll join you in another :j

HHC done but don't feel like I got much done. i'm sure after a cup of coffee my next one will be more productive!
I managed:
-Emptied, put away and restacked dishwasher
-Put washing on airer and refilled machine
-Stripped bedding and brought down
-Took clean washing up (but didn't put away - naughty!)
-Swept kitchen and dining room floors
-Decluttered personal email account

Just a thought - Pigpen - talk of godarents - have you resolved the vicar/which church issue yet?

Nope, I still have to find time and energy to 'discuss' it with the one here.. though part of me just wants to say f*** you and go elsewhere, I mean, do I REALLY want such a nasty bigotted creep handling my baby?

Now we have decided what we are going to do I can get on and sort it.. but I am ringing a couple of other churches before deciding on dragging all this lot up the motorway!

Cuppa decluttered
Birdies fed.. Mr wood piggin came ooking for some breakfast.. if he starves what will my skinny cats eat when it comes to baby bird season?
Baby fed.

Todays plan..

Bath baby
Shower me
Put christmas decs away
Bumbo from loft.

Surely I can manage 4 things!!

Just whooshing by... am making bread and soup, have emptied the dw and the wm from overnight loads and have done a little tidying around the house. Next is a trip up the garden to the compost bins and to refill the bird feeders; then I'll try to tackle the main bedroom....

Meanwhile....

:bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake:

Happy Birthday Greenbee - and I hope all our cakes don't wreck the diet too much.....

(Glad you have managed to talk with OH, too....)

Off to shape up the bread.....

Morning All,

Just back from hospital, OH had CT scan on his knee this morn, hopefully they will say yes to a new one later in the year.

DW on, TD on since we left this morning, nearly done !!

Cheques to be sorted to go to bank, and maybe another CC payment if my £1 /£2 coin pile stretches to a descent amount.

Can't do the kids beds, DD and DS1 are still asleep :mad:,
although I did hear an alarm clock, I think snooze was hit.

Tea, then Washing to sort.

Slightly extended HHC....let's see what has been done.....
