    Hmm, better day today. Was going to post today list, crossing off what I'd done, but realised I haven't done anything from it. However I have done -
    • 2 loads of Washing
    • cleaned hob again (looking shinier)
    • Wash kitchen floor
    • Fill up and put out bin for collection
    • menu planner for LO - today's new recipe for lunch was a big success
    still to do today:
    • Fit that carpet.......
    • make dinner
    • more washing (it had built up after our tumble dryer tried to burn the garage down last week)

    might even have a look at the oven - perhaps there's hope for it - any tips on cleaning it. I've attacked it with a paint scrapper so far, it wasn't pretty.
    Taking one day at a time....I'll get there in the end

    Afternoon all

    Happy birthday furball

    Been on Governor Training all day, I now have a headache.

    DS1 has amazingly tidied up the kitchen whilst I was out. Need to rummage for food for dinner now and then a HHC will be it for the flying today.

    Shelly Sue (s)he's beautiful. how big would you say it was? I'm imagining like 50p size? Am I way off?

    Cat_Smith Glad your OH can go with you to the docs. What you need isnt the same as what anyone else needs. Even with what I've been through lately I really hope you get the outcome you want :)
    And if it turns out there's a wriggler in there - my sis came off her tablets for her newborn. She's managed. Not saying you should, but IF (BIG IF) you are, then it's possible if that's the route you want to take. There are alternatives and it's a very personal choice.
    But do what's right for you! no matter what that is.

    We had the same problem.. plus being large meant the dye was spread further.. did you do them as a pair or individually?
