    morning everyone:j

    I feel like I've been up for hours and without much sleep last night either. I tend to sleep on my front but now I'm 21weeks I'm finding that something keeps kicking me if I lie on my stomach for too long = disturbed nights and sore tummy:rotfl:

    So tired that when i got up I went over on my toes and rebroke the middle toe on my left foot - actually heard it crunch and it's now all manner of lovely blues and purples so will be taking it nice an easy today - but I'm going to get my list done:D

    Morning all

    Wednesday is bedroom day for me so I've done all that. Two loads of washing out on the line, including the bedding. It's a bit dull today but at least it's dry and mild.

    I've made a marmalade cake and MSD's Aunt Sally's apple cake, both on the cooling tray.

    Also cleaned computer desk, polished and dusted living room, and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Sorry to read about your NOF, Toots, what a shock :(

    Catching up now. Hope your knees are better Dusty.
