  • Morning all :)

    I'd like to officially start joining in with you this week if that is ok? I was told on Friday at work that I am likely to be made redundant (find out for definate tomorrow morning but it's not looking good) and am 19 weeks pregnant. My house is a state, there is clutter everywhere and well, if I am going to be at home from now on, now's the time to get it all under control!

    As I am starting a day late, I will try and catch up on yesterdays today and will come back and update later as to how far I've got!

    Probaby won't get much else done today, as DD has ballet and tap and DS has loads of homework to do after school that I need to supervise.

    Fly-vibes to you all.

    Morning all

    Been busy flying so far, just having an early lunch and then heading off to Mr M - not been there is ages since the new Mr S openned back up in town.

    It is very chilly here, think I'll put the heat back on as DS1 is at home revising and I don't want any complaining.

    DS1 got antibiotics from the dishy doctor. Swoon!

    Not done much. Fast walk for 50 mins and slow meander through the high street to the chemist.
    DS1 has made me a cup of tea so I'm going to have that then do a HHC if anyone wants to join in. Shall we say 12 O'clock?
