    might join you seafarers, sitting is making me uncomfortable so I need to get up anyway. Well done on getting so much done, have just sorted my jarmies and folded them, I love doing that for some reason :)

    Ok am back, and somewhat achey! I thought I would do a thorough hoover getting down with the nozzle and doing the edges, now my back is in agony :( trying to clean when this pregnant is definitely not an easy task!

    So I managed to:
    hang out the dark washing,
    hoover through kitchen, dining, living, and downstairs loo.
    Tidy dining room, finally!
    wipe dining room door, as cement seems to have appeared on it???
    decobwebbed all of downstairs

    Realised just how dirty my kitchen floor is, its black slate and everything seems to show, don't know how I'm going to get it off, think it might have to be a hands and knees with a stiff brush job!!! Can't say I'm looking forward to that right now.

    Having a break with a coffee and some much needed food.

    Girls dumped back at school after teir podiatry appointment.. podiatrist thinks the same as me that Tiddles needs Piedros as her walking is awful.. HA.. poke in the eye for physio who I dont like very much!

    After our trip to Smiths yesterday my back and hips are agony and have woke me up every 15 seconds ALL night.. I am so uncomfortable :( Not heard anything back from physio so obviously I am insignificant now.. typical!!!

    I have 3 stuffed wash baskets I need bringing downstairs.. again! .. I demanded the children changed their bedsheets so loads to wash.. and mine need to be in too.

    squeak down for a nap so I am getting food while I can eat it without sharing!

  • Arrh finally got back on the internet..... seems rough weather overnight altered something with the internet. Spent ages trying to talk to BT about it and they suggested finding an Ether net cable .....lol I have just moved and have no idea where to find said item.

    Amazingly in first box I looked in there was a cable. I plugged into both router and lap top and now it works wirelessly? I really dont understand how this happens. Nothing changed just logged on whilst plugged in .... bizarre.

    Anyway I am back for another day but have decided to tweak the list as some parts dont apply.
