    Good morning all, just checking up on the status of the gerbil. x

    Haha he looked pretty dry luckily! We turned all the water off overnight and plumber is coming today.

    What's a pregnancy diary? Is it just something for you, or a medical thing?

    Your 5 things sound plenty!

    My bathrooms broken, again, and this time water is somehow running under the carpet on the other side of my bedroom - and through to the rooms below. Slightly scared room will collapse in the night or that the gerbil will be underwater when I wake up...

    Eek! That sounds pretty alarming! Hope gerbil is ok!

    Birdie, glad your job is safe - what a stressful day :( hope you didn't give into the chocolate :p g'luck with the diet, 12lbs in 6 weeks is tough! But not impossible...

    I went to the gym yesterday & was on the running machine while Martin was on the TV - double smug!

    Wendz, good you've sorted out going back to work - will it be really weird or are you quite looking forward to it?

    Pregnancy diary is just a month by month book I bought to fill in to remember the pregnancy - seemed a good idea at the time but now writing 'tired' month after month seems very boring.

    I did manage to resist the chocolate last night! Although there was half a white chocolate Toblerone mocking me; I've asked OH to 'dispose' of it so hopefully he'll have finished it off today and I won't have to look at it tonight!

    Annoying about the broken bathroom Archers, hope it gets sorted and no gerbils get soggy in the process! :)

    Hope the bathroom gets sorted Archers, I worry for the gerbils safety hehe.

    Dinah - At least next month you can put about fnding out if it is a boy or girl , exciting!

    Poddle- looking forward to work in a way but a bit worried about Poppy settling into nursery with her naps and milk etc but I am sure will be fine. Well done on the gym!

    I went out for the evening last night to an italian with 10 other mums from groups! Was really nice to have an evening out and Poppy didn't even wake up so OH had an easy job hehe.

    Ah that sounds nice Wendz, glad you enjoyed yourself! I'm sure Poppy will get on fine at nursery, she'll love having lots of friends to play with and she'll soon settle into the routine. Do they have set nap and feeding times at nursery? Might help to get onto their schedule before she starts. Although not having a baby I haven't a clue so could be talking rubbish! :)

    OH did some sorting of the bookcases and Music Magpie'd a load of DVDs at the weekend so we've now got some empty shelves and I'm actually unnerved because I can't find things to go on them! :o I'm sure that if I actually pulled my finger out and did some cleaning/sorting/binning in the spare room I'd find something, but I can never seem to work up the enthusiasm! Job for tonight- spend 45 minutes making a difference in the flat!!! :)

    They kind of go with your own schedule for sleeping when they are small but she is a bit all over the place at the moment. I need to start egtting up earlier so i can see realistically what time she should prob need a nap. I am sure they will know if she is tired anyway.

    Well done one the music magpieing , i looked up a few of ours but were only worth 30p and only had about 6 i wanted rid of so decided against it.

    I think it's only worth the hassle if you've got loads to get rid of, we've got a box full and I think OH said it was about £40-£50 worth, have to post it tonight and I'm worried I won't be able to carry it through town! :o

    Actually, going to do a to do list today.

    [STRIKE]1. Update pregnancy diary[/STRIKE]
    2. Do all ironing in lounge Nearly there
    3. Tidy lounge half done, as is the kitchen
    [STRIKE]4. Wrap all sold parcels on Amazon/swaps on RiSi[/STRIKE]
    5. Sort out photo files For tomorrow

    I could go on and on but 5 things is enough, and if I manage to do more then great.

    I have done last month's chart and graph, but I don't know if NIM just screen shot's them to get the pictures or if I need to do something more fancy to upload them onto here.

    I also have a missing husband. I hear he's at my parents house but I sort of want him home now. I've been on my own all day and I'm REALLY bored!
