    Load of ironing done, TD emptied, WM just finished so I'll stick that in the TD and then get ready for work. I've put some jackets in the oven for tea - I just need to warm them up then - can somebody remind me that I've done it tonight please!

    Hugs Froddy - thinking of you!

    Congratulations to Dusty's DS1!

    Happy Birthday to Funfairprincess.

    Bossymoo - I echo what everyone else has said :) I can't possibly conceive how I would manage in your circumstances and have nothing but admiration for you :grouphug: I will be thinking of you and your family today x

    Been ill since Tuesday so not too much done but I will try to get a few more things done today before I settle down to study...

    DS3 off sick with yucky tonsils so no excuse not to get some bits done today!
    Got "pregnancy insomnia", just anxious now with only a few weeks to go :eek:

    That'll be your body getting you used to little sleep :D

    [STRIKE]Go to Fat Club and find out what the damage is for two weeks of socialising and not saying no to cake :D[/STRIKE] That would be a 4lb weight gain :o:o:o
    Oooops

    Happy Birthday FFP

    Mumto5 sorry to hear about DSs team. Fingers crossed they keep you on.

    I thought the last 2 comments were related - I couldn't work out what Mumto5 does for her DS's team!:o:o

    Fingers crossed that you are still gainfully employed at 2pm!

    Today is the first 4 hours of DD2's photography exam. Any posi-vibes available would be much appreciated. She looks awful and is so tired it's untrue. School are dealing with it well, but part of me wants to postpone her exams until January and put her to bed so she can recover...... Unfortunately DD2 is not playing ball on this one! I am just desperate that she doesn't end up with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome like her older sister who has been ill for 7 years.

    I am just so worried - DD2 has a job sorted, which she loves and I almost can't watch this carcrash happening....
