    How did you get on sockdrawer?

    I didn't get loads done as I was [STRIKE]hindered[/STRIKE] helped by the two babies. I did manage however to:

    Clean the windows in the living room
    Clean the fireplace
    Dust living room
    Deweb living room
    Wiped the switches and sockets in the living room
    Cleared the tops of a couple of cupboards in the living room

    I am going to have a little rest and then try and clear out one of the cupboards in the living room and try and get DH's hifi working so I can sell it!! I will have to leave decluttering the floor and sweeping it until this evening when the babies are in bed and they can't spread all their toys out in the middle of me trying to tidy it!!

    In my HHC I managed to
    Get the hob washed
    do some dailies
    sweep the kitchen floor and the stairs of the close
    wipe down the kitchen paintwork

    Going for another HHC at 1015 if anyone's up for it? Need to wash close stairs and Kitchen floor

    I keep reading you've got your CBT and thinking it's the first part of your motorbike license (Compulsory Basic Training allows you to ride a 100cc motorcycle on a provisional license) I'm guessing it's not that? and I'm muddled?

    Yes, I ride a Harley Davidson!!! :rotfl:. No, really, CBT is cognitive behaviour therapy where they're going to help me to think more positive; not that everyone doesn't like me, thinks I'm stupid, is talking about me ..... the list goes on. It's to see your glass as half full rather than half empty.

    Oh and the nausea is definitely reassuring; I had 3 consecutive losses and I didn't get sick with any of them - and then I fell pregnant with DS and spent all my time with my head down the loo .... bleugh!! So definitely feel comforted by it and enjoy your scan on Thursday!


    Flying wise, I've not done anything apart from empty the DW as walked Pip straight after taking DD to school - we did 4.6 miles so I'm really pleased about that.

    Anyone fancy a HHC 10.45 - 11.15?
