      I am gonna do a HHC at 1pm. I was hoping to have done it by now but my back started killing me. First time I have had lower back pain in this preg. Not bad for 32 weeks! lol.

      Wanting some cuddle time with dd but the washing machine has just clicked to tell me its done. I am not sure i can ohysically do much about it at this precise moment so gonna go with the cuddles and then see to the rest. hopefully the pain wil pass soon.

      Hope you don't mind me posting my lists but not really joining in with chatting (which I'm very good at and would love to do)! I'm working FT and the children have busy social lives. The Thread is keeping me focussed and thats the purpose for me - the house looks great!. Hope you don't mind or think I'm being rude.

      Hope you're all having a good day. :A

      OK, deal. :p I hope you've remembered to eat today! ;)
      OK, desk is sort-of sorted. Just tape, scissors, pens, tissues etc left.


      Got everything else done though, so....

      I DID IT! :j

      I got my entire load of packing done, and I have about 20 mins before I need to set off. :j
      Well done Frittered; sort-of sorted is far better than not touched! I did both our desks to within an inch of their lives (where did all the paperclips on mine come from??) and then went on to finish today's list! *stands back in amazement*

I might not get chance to post much (work 3 days, 3yr old, 1yr old, husband and large scale DIY sos to contend with!) but I'll try my best.
      Not done owt today yet apart from get kids ready, take them to nursery, and be at work!
      Best get back to it then.:)
      Thanks again.

      First she said
      Next one needs to be my desk gibble... :o not looking forward to that one!
      Then she said
      So I did the shelf stuff AND the crockery, but not the desk gibble. ;) I just can't bring myself to! It's such a mess :(
      But then she said
      OK, desk is sort-of sorted. Just tape, scissors, pens, tissues etc left.

      Got everything else done though, so....

      I DID IT! :j

      Hey all - hope youve all had a good weekend.

      Thats me just back.... was supposed to get back at 9am but the a14 was closed, meaning LO has only just got to school at 13.30!! Probably not a whole lot of point in taking him in at all today, but some school is better than missing the whole day!

      Now have lots to do and have lost most of the day, but hey ho!

      Am off to grab the timer and get as much done as I can before school time.

      Anyone want to join in??

      HHC 14.05:14.35???

      xx
