DS needs to learn to crawl already!! He is so whingy right now cause he keeps reaching for things and falling over, wriggling onto his belly and then whining until i sit him up again. It's doing my head in! Although, i need to include some babyproofing measures along with the big declutter today cause once he moves i will need to be a lot tidier. I forget just how good DD is at not touching things she isn't meant to.
Happy birthday to dancemum, goodintentions & piggers DD.
Have a super duper day!

Happy Birthday to everyone whos birthday it is today.
skimmed the thread as so tired, but got to be up
am off to get showered in 5 mins and then go to the hospital for part 1 of blood tests, am having the pregnancy glucose test thing today and not looking forward to it as am already a bit hungry and wanting something to eat and drink, so will be over by 11.30 and then i can eat

Why did you go to PAH? Not heard good reports. Are they better than people say?
I sent them there because I was worried about them getting ill while I still had a bill with Briar house and that she might not treat them because of this. It was only supposed to be temporary but I just haven't moved them. They are cheaper and I haven't had any problems though I've also heard bad things. The only problem I have is that you need the money up front.
I might move them back to Briar once the kittens have had their jabs and snips, it's cheaper at PAH0 -
Morning lovelies! :wave:
Happy Birthday to the Birthday girls :bdaycake:xx
Got work at 10 for a couple of hours, will post Lovefilm on the way there as there's a handy post box, my frog is a biggie- do accounts then fill tax credit form in and post :eek: I'm running out of time so needs doing super soon.
I've done the kitchen- empty DW, reload it, wipe all surfaces, filled the bin up with extra stuff as there was space and put it out, along with the green and recycling bin. Let the rabbits out and fed the cat. Just off upstairs now with the clean washing, make my bed and bring some more washing down and set the WM away.

Fritteredaway...when I moved into my first student house after halls, there was a really weird smell. It took a while to narrow it down to the fridge..the previous occupants had moved out more than a month before and switched off the fridge, in the height of summer, leaving a large pack of steak in the freezer. I can still smell that smell now, I don't think it quite left the place all year.
:eek: that's terrible! They switched off our freezer but it's empty
our tenants just left us some plates, cutlery, 2 knife blocks (I kept the knives
) and plenty of mould. 
Painter's here. He had a go at opening the bathroom window but nothing doing. I'll have to add that to 'the list'... which currently includes the sparkers on the hob not working, and a snapped key in the front door of the building. Fun times.
We don't have a toaster
that is definitely going to be changed. I've got a 6 pack of crumpets and now nothing to do with them! (Can't stand heating up the grill for 2 crumpets) 0 -
DW on
WM emptied and refilled partly
Middle room cleared inc a binbag of rubbish!.. I made the girls do it seeing as they were up and ready for school at about 5 this morning.. this evening they have the back room to clear and they are having dinner and going to bed and I don't care what time it is
