    Morning all!

    Not feeling so happy this morning. Went to bed feeling like it, also with a headache that's still in the background this morning.
    The DD's have started the day of arguing which hasn't helped but they have finally gone to school.
    I have the counsellor this morning so just going to potter around 'til then.
    DW is on, noone bothered to do it last night but as I do everything that would be down to me! :mad:
    All cats/kittens fed, litter trays scooped.
    One load a washing ready for hanging, though DD1 says it's going to rain at lunch time today. Another load is ready to be put on, two more loads and it'll all be clear! :T
    Hope this feeling of blah goes away but don't forsee it :(

    wendywitch, more (((hugs))) for you today.

    piggers, you're not the first person i've heard who's been p1ssed of at the midwives. Such a shame cause having a baby is meant to be really special. The midwives i had were all amazing for me, but to be honest i think that is because we lost our first baby the day after birth so they kind of remembered me and felt sorry for me maybe. I hope you still get to go to scans, cause they're the fun part!! :D

    uropa.. yes we still get the scans done.. that was the sole reason I went to the booking appointment as they arrange that then and my sister had a problem which caused her death which can be picked up at scans so I insist on those.. I refuse to have one every 2-4 weeks like they want though due to previous prem babies.

    Throws in the washer after the mog upchucked on them.. lovely thing to come down to in the morning.

    I am putting the list up for tomorrow shortly.. My new internet is being installed later so just in case I struggle with it later I'm doing the list very early. Hopefully we will have a connection speed!

    House is looking a bit messy. Must try harder.

    DS2 was sent home as school short staffed and they couldn't cope with him. Not an official exclusion though. I have taken him today and so far no phone call.

    DS1 had to come home to get changed as a radiator burst in the pe changing room.

    Would like to put my head back under the duvet for the day but have errands to run.
