    Dear Lord, chunters that's a burdensome week. On the topic of birthdays so close together... a colleague (male, child-free and quite intelligent) told me I was ridiculously selfish having a baby due in March, as that meant it's birthday would be Christmas...

    :rotfl: He was thinking a bit too hard about it I think!

    No work today as DD2 has a sore throat and temperature.

    Amazingly my hand doesn't hurt today - must be all the endorphins from my 8.5 mile walk yesterday.

    Grateful - Prayers and thoughts for you and yours.

    Sexy - you are slim and gorgeous! Don't lose too much weight, I'm sure Moon loves you as you are. Well done for the 3 hour Zumba. Why don't you get Moon to take his boots off before he comes in the door. We have a no shoes policy that everyone male in the family ignores but it's worth a try:(

    All the ebaying success stories are motivating me to GOMFAADS.
