  • Hello crew

    Been abit of a manic day with work/meetings again, so tired again all day, am sure the tiredness is something to do with my diet, cutting down on carbs and bread and no chocolate, my body is screaming for chocolate after daily doses of chocolate for years, it cant cope :EasterBun :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    So the first on the list for today is:
    Eating healthily again :j So unlike me! :)
    Washing up & wiped all sides down before work :)
    Tidied bedroom :)
    2 x loads of washing :)
    Bought more leaving gifts - trekked round 5 shops after work until I found what I was looking for :)

    Surprised I have fitted 5 in, have worked alot of the evening again :eek::eek:

    Bedtime now for me, night all

    I also have a massage booked for sometime today, lovely treat from my mum. I say sometime, as the missing diary makes it hard to know when!

    Morning everyone. I had a lovely relaxing afternoon yesterday, and mum has said I can have another massage next week as a treat if I keep out of hospital - nothing like good old fashioned bribery to make a girl relax!

    My dad and DH also spent the evening 'prepping' the baby's room (read a lot of playing with a tape measure, doing maths in an odd combination of feet and millimetres, and gesturing threateningly at a wall with a pair of long nosed pliers). DH and I have at least decided on a colour, hopefully the two of them can get themselves together enough to actually prep the room in the next fortnight as I'm eager to be in there getting it set up.

    1. Find and order new microwave
    2. Contact ESA about being paid
    3. Take bump pic
    4. Order new moses basket matress and sheets
    5. Fill in all medicash forms
    6. Find Barclaycard
