    Mumto5.. labour won't start if she hasn't eaten her body will be in starvation mode and producing ketones which suppress labour.. tell her to get to the canteen.. or just turn up with chippy for her. Or better still to go home and stay there until she needs to go to hossie.

    juliejim.. I hope he is doing ok and it is nothing too serious.. I'm nowhere near either :(

    JJ sorry, nowhere near Ipswich; hope your DH is OK.

    AJ GWS wishes for your DH, too.

    Dylan was supposed to arrive at 10:00, but I got a text saying he won't be here til 13:00, so using the time to get a few little tasks done; just what I can manage without starting the shoulder off again.:o

    Happy Star Wars Day, all.:D

    Morning all, and happy Star Wars day! :D

    I am off uni today, and have to wait in for a parcel from UPS so having a big deep clean .. currently waiting for the kitchen & bathroom floors to dry so I can deep clean the fridge. Need to do our shopping list, and then meal plan once I have cleaned the fridge.

    Hoping the UPS van comes at a good time, so I can nip out and buy a duster - we moved out in Jan, and still haven't got one to do the tops of mirrors/windows etc, hoping Poundland will have one!

    I have been busy but not necessarily on these tasks. I have decided to sort out a lot of paperwork left over from the old house as our paper bin goes next week. When I am done I will tidy round and then see what time I have left.

    DH is up, showered and dressed and has managed to eat for the first time in 3 days and looks a bit healthier so flylady vibes have helped as always x
