HAPPY STAR WARS DAY

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

Morning all, and happy Star Wars day!

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!0 -

Well, got most of it done
Might manage the rest this afternoon, got quite a few children round though, offered to look after my niece and a friends child as well as my 3
Still got loads of ironing to do so I might do that later and I got other stuff done too (loading dishwasher, making beds, mopping floors, putting clothes away etc) so a very productive hour
