    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining Mess Done!!:D:D:D
    Level One
    Level Two
    Level Three

    Chloris - just told DD about your present, and we're both going 'Aahh, that's so sweet!!' I'm particularly envious of the sling in case you want to play doctors!!:D

    Sun's out - I think I may grab half an hour in the garden. I've been desperate to get out there and do something.


    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
  • Sorry all, I'm out for a while today. Sudden nasty migraine with vomiting and all. Probably be useless for the rest of the day now. :(
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    Feeling slightly apprehensive. Have Dr's appt this afternoon. Been being sick in the morning for about 2 weeks. But did a test and its negative. Thank goodness. Definitely not in a place to have a child. But I'm not feeling nauseous. Just having the the spasmodic retching. Don't know. Will see this afternoon. Just hope its not going to ruin the holiday.

    Dog decluttered to kennels. It's very quiet around here. No-one asking for adoration. Really should use the opportunity to do some de-Ozzifying. But serious case of CBA. Still need to pack and DH out tonight. Actually beginning to wish I wasn't going which is strange. But I'm away for 10days and DH leaves the day before I get back for a week in Swansea.

    OK. Positive thinking. Off to look at the Lonely Planet Paris guide so see what trouble sister and I can get up to with no OH and parents we can conveniently lose:T

    Hi everyone;

    Well here we are again, halfway through the week. I've just been and relit one of Diva's candles.

    Shellysue wow, turtle eggs! I have dealt with hatchling snakes before, but never turtles. Would it be possible to see a piccie when the little guy arrives?:o

    camera poised and ready, he/she is still only part way out, but they can take days to fully come out of the shell, it will be absorbing the yolk sac, so will be fine for a day or two.
    big possible problem is that the heat mat doesn't seem to be getting hot, so will have to do massive change round so that little ones tank is nice and comfy for when its needed.

    bit of flying done, did the stairs and entrance hall.
    now off to declutter lunch
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T
