    yep adamantine, 31 weeks tomorrow:), haven't seen the grumpy midwife for about a million years as getting an appt is a joke, have got one on friday which i've had to wait 3 weeks for, so will have a whinge to her :). Have taken myself off to bed but just can't get comfy :(
  • hun give yourself a break!!! i remember the nesting instinct though and it transferred to my parents house when i was staying there. i spent 2 days scrubbing their leather sofas coz i wanted them clean and they were not clean enough even though there was nothing wrong with them.

    i wanted to strip and reseal the amtico flooring in the bathrooms and the hallway but my mum and dad hid the stuff i needed to do it. i was a woman posessed in my 2nd pregnancy!

    Yep Im like that, am desperate to get down on my hands and knees and scrub the kitchen floor!!! the mop never gets it clean enough, the ground in dirt just wont shift. But getting down on my knees at the moment is more than a little bt of a struggle with my huuuuge stomach in the way x
  • Well, I had lunch & the decluttered an episode of Holby on the V+ (about 6 weeks behind!). I then had one of Bonnie's [STRIKE]middle aged lady snoozes[/STRIKE] power naps :T
    I did manage to sweep & mop the kitchen floor before the school run though :) I took the boys to the park for an hour. I thought the house may stay tidier then :p
    I have put on dinner (spag bol) and that is bubbling away. catching up on another Holby at the mo :)

    Hey all - hope your all well.

    I havent caught up with the thread again im afraid. Sorry....

    I handed in notice today at work and my boss started to cry! Shes been good and supportive though! But thats it - no going back now!

    Need to find a list and update it...

    Lots went out of the house and garage today as it was bin day so filled up the cardboard bin with tatty cardboard from the garage so thats 1 lot gone! Only problem is my general waste bin is also full but isnt emptied for another week (they are each emptied every other week!) so I'll be doing a run to the tip this weekend.

    Off to find a list to update xx
