    Thanks for joining me AnW'smum and maybemischief! How did you get on?
    I've emerged from the close of doom which now looks and smells a bit nicer, but was utterly filthy!
    Also mopped the kitchen floor. Someone remind me that it's soooo much easier to mop the floor if you remember to replace the mop head every so often. Took me half the time it usually does today because I replaced it before I started.

    Cup o'tea and a biscuit anyone?

    edit: Meant to say :T:T:T:T well done wilf55's son!!

    morning all,

    I did not have nausea before -OMG I have it now! Ahh well that's a good thing :) never thought I'd feel so happy to feel this sick!
    DH has booked a private scan £100 :eek::eek::eek: - I'm thinking he'll save that much in tissues if it's reassuring and I stop blubbing ;) Thursday morning we'll know :)

    Piggers is your OH having a general for the wisdom tooth?? I had a general for a back one, and the day I had it done I felt fantastic, came out of hospital went shopping - day after..... urrghhhhhh. Anyway if he's got a general it might not hit him straight away :o And Baby is the spit of it's dada. :D radio this morn says boots are selling DNA paternity test thingies - spose he could stump up the cash for it if he's really that daft?? (or the thought of it might just shut him up ;) )

    If it helps.. I never felt ill with ANY of mine.. I was totally completely and utterly incapable of anything other than sleeping for the first 4 months though

    He doesn't deny she is his baby.. in fact it would have been impossible for her not to be seeing as he barely left my side for the relevant month.. he just insists she doesn't look like him.


    And he is not having a general.. but it is his grans funeral in Manc. tomorrow and a drive of 120 miles there less than 24 hours after having it done might be way too ambitious.. I think he is silly even comtemplating it as he is likely to be maxed up with painkillers.. I did offer to change this appointment for him and he said to leave it and he will see how he feels in the morning. We shall see he may be absolutely fine.

    wilf congratulations and very well done to H - that grant will help a bit and new clubs too:T- thanks for your kind words :A- I think you are amazing in the way you support DS - he has talent and you are doing your best to give him the chance to make the most of it - a real supermum! :T I made my list up room by room - just sat in the middle of each room and looked round it and listed what needed doing. A lot of it is covered on the lists each week but as I cant manage the lists I added all the little jobs in too so that they wouldnt get overlooked. I will be joining you this month with the ebaying - need to clear it out. hope you are looking after yourself too xx

    right better get cracking - washing ready to go out so thats first then a couple of phone calls to make before i start on the ebay stuff - better get the camera charged up.

    I did some shredding, emptied the shredder, picked up shreddings off the floor! Shredded some more.
    Sorted out one of my work bags, reading/binning old stuff.
    Phoned matched giving team to see if one of my causes qualifies and they do :D
    Rang leader of group to impart good news so they can organise a suitable event.
    Cleared hotspot off stairs.
    Sorted post.

    Not too much but better all the same.

    In my HHI I got all the ironing done, and folding, and put all the clean washing away :D.
    Think I will hang the sheets out now, and the rest indoors.
    Will update my list later. xx

    Just finished my HHC:

    vacummed the whole house
    took down dry washing and folded and put away or put to iron
    put up wet washing
    sorted next load to go on tonight
    made all the beds
    emptied Dyson gibble collector
    wiped over sofa
    took off cushion covers to go in with washing

    So not bad really. Must go and get changed now as don't want to turn up to CBT in my dog walking clothes which are a bit worse for wear!
