    We've just moved into a house which we need to do up pretty much throughout (nothing structural required although we are wanting to knock through kitchen/morning room to make a bigger kitchen and remove the seperate loo to make a bigger bathroom) - but we do need to paint every room, the carpet really does need replacing pretty much throughout.. and we have carpetted bathrooms!! Ah well, a little at a time is the only way to do it!

    twinklie, you have loads to do in terms of house stuff or work? take it easy of you are tired though. :( take a little break and do something and take a break again. dont over-do anything. hugs.

    Emsbet tell me about it about doing this or the other to the house. we moved into this house together and had new carpet fitted in the living room. everything takes so long. we have a borrowed dinner table too. hehe.. kitchen needs a make over as the storage is not enough, carpets upstairs, wardrobes and now baby prep stuff too. :) we had security issues earlier on this year as our neighbour behind us got robbed and the thieves had used our alley-way entrance to access their house, so we have had a gate and a new door fixed and also fence. so expensive.

    I am taking a break - I'm going to have an early dinner. Then my mum will be round to irritate me for a good couple of hours (don't know why she stays that long - most of the time we sit in silence because she won't have a conversation).

    I'm exam marking which I can do from the sofa but it's a bit like walking through mud at the minute with my brain. Although, the palpitations seem to be getting better which I'm happy about. I'm just exhausted. I also have 2 schemes for learning to write for school before I leave, but they'll have to wait a little bit...not sure when I'll get them done to be honest.

    Of course I don't mind you asking. I have no idea. It's been happening since the start of June. I've had two ECG's and am waiting for the 6th for an echocardiogram and a 24 hour tape, then it's 11th for the constultant to find out the results. I'm expecting them to tell me it's the extra strain on my body caused by pregnancy to be honest, but who knows.

    I need a dress for my best mates wedding when I'll be 36+5. Not a clue what to buy.

  • Morning....again!

    Fluff really hope things get going soon for you, seems like LO is ready to make an appearance. Sending big labour vibes to you hun.
    Mrs Student I also love that dress! I'm thinking I don't really need another dress, but it is gorgeous :)
    Twinklie sorry you're feeling rough today. Least you can do the marking sitting down comfy. If your mum won't talk maybe just carry n marking.....or get her to mark some ;) a job shared and all that! Try and take it as easy as possible. Easier said than done I know.
    Emsbet glad you got a reasonable quote for the carpet. Another job ticked off your list! When are they being done?
    Mlbarrett welcome and congrats!
    Getting house in order oh dear, we've also so got so much to do. We only moved here in August so haven't done much upstairs. The nursery room needs emptying, which I attempted yday and got myself in a state lol, so we can paint it and get new carpets in there. Would love to get the landing stairs repainted and carpeted too. Ideally I would love to get our bedroom redecorated and get it and another bedroom recarpeted too but I think it's too ambitious in the small time frame we've got left. Luckily we bought a lot of the paints and paper when we moved in so we shouldn't have to spend a lot. The main prob is all the rooms have furniture etc in so would need to try and empty all the rooms. My BIL is a carpet fitter so will sort out the carpet :) but it's stressing me a bit as I've got family coming at the end of July!

    I did manage to doze for a couple of hours this morning, honestly have no clue what she was up to. She must have smelt toast because she just came down, licked the jam off my toast and went back upstairs lol. She's so daft, but so adorable :)

    Am debating whether I feel well enough to go and collect my new sewing machine. It's not too far away, but I have to drive. I can only collect between 10-4 mon-fri. So no way OH can collect for me, had it said that on the listing I might not have bid on it :mad: but it's a great price so I am really excited to learn how to use it :D

    Well I will try and wake up a bit I think and decide what to do next.

    Hugs to all that need them and big labour vibes to those that need them xxx

    Just got back from the scan :j:j thanks for all the good wishes !

    First time everything went plain sailing, went in 10 mins late rather than the usual 1hr :T and had 2 lovely ladies talk through everything - there's his face, thats a foot etc

    then saw consultant who said everything is looking great, Ive checked my notes (and google of course ;)) and baby is estimated at 2lb 9oz :j my friend had a premmie baby at 34weeks who weighed less than that and is now a thriving 12 week old so That sets my mind at ease a little more,

    My GTT results came back as normal and my next scan is set for 34 weeks :)

    feels nice to not get bad news after an appointment :p
