    I finally got round to making a v pillow cover which I'm using as a maternity pillow and when baby comes a nursing cushion to lay him on whilst I'm feeding him.

    I'm very proud of myself cost me nothing as had loads of blue and cream fabric knocking about and it looks more presentable, I may consider taking to hospital with me so I can be more comfortable.

    Yesterday we spent hours in the garden tidying it up, including cutting the grass for the first time this year. I was shattered and would have happily collapsed in front of the TV, but as I had said:

    I did sorted through the paperwork, filed, recycled or to do pile, but the windowsill is still full of junk at least the paperwork has been dealt with.

    Todays NSJ is to ring the bank regarding the account a group I'm involved with is setting up.

    Morning everyone

    Well done on completing so many NSJ's!!!

    Mine for today is to take a boot full of rubbish to the tip on my lunch break.

    I have sown the seeds over the lovely weekend and planted the potato seeds, wrapped the ebay items and will be posting today or tomorrow.

    Ticking over nicely - I love these light mornings!

    I washed the *outsides* of the Velux windows upstairs. Go me!


    I did the insides too, but have done the outsides twice in 5 years.. :o
