Evening all, been a busy bee here but not in the house :rotfl:gardens are looking fab, weeding, strimming, mowing, edging, painting, potting, planting and weed killing.

Bad news is the house is a complete tip, i decided to get my big butt in gear and start taking stuff down out of the attic and i have so far got 16 bin bags to ebay....:eek: i have listed 14 items so far..:o I did throw loads of baby stuff away to my sister too but there's still loads up there.

Hubby passed his welding test on monday and has his medical this monday coming. Looks like he's going to work, it will be very strange with no hubby about as well as no car. Plan is if he sticks it a month he'll get a little run about and i'll get the jeep back, i'll need it when they go back to school.

Right i better make a start on putting away all these clothes..

Pigpen was just meaning you take medical proffesional advice with a pinch of salt, as how practical is it for the next 22 weeks or how long till baby comes to do nothing, im talking not hoovering, no lifting, no pushing the shopping trolley, no driving :eek: no bending etc, so whilst the cleaner will do most of the cleaning for me, for the day to day stuff i HAVE to do for my sanity im stuffed.

Im off to get dressed and then have a HHC (a gentle one) at 8

Have decluttered some of DS1's primary uniform - charity bag or loft or bin as appropriate. Lunchboxes for DS1 & DS2 to bin. Nice big pile of M&S new uniform basics (shirts, trousers, jumpers) for DS1 arrived, along with new lunchbox for DS2. More uniform ordered.

Best get a move on and wake DS2, I guess!
