    Not going to get much done today, I've got awful sinusitus and it's making me feel sick.

    I've cleaned the toilet and sink properly and the edges of the bath but there is no way I can bend down and do the floor. Maybe tomorrow.

    I have cut the front grass, I've got DD's bedding on the line so I don't want to do the back while that's out. See what time it's dry. Otherwise I'll do the back tomorrow.

    Hi all hope your day is going well. Didn't really fly yesterday - just had too much to cram in but good news is all the area that I have done this week have stayed tidy and I am doing my dalies. Glad I am not the only one who shouts 'don't put that there' zero tolerance in my moto!

    Solway - happy birthday hope somebody bakes you a cake

    AnW'sMum - did you have a nice time last night

    Pollybear - hope you feel better soon.

    Have done hallway - cupboard has not been cleaned or sorted since we moved in 6 years ago:eek: all done now.

    Family room/office all cleaned. Paper on desk now in order or urgent on top and loads in the recycling.

    Rhubarb cooked for crumble

    Glove amnesty resulted in 23 pairs and 11 odd gloves.

    Off to school to help is DS3 reception class now and then we need a trip to the pond to release our first frog - we have tadpoles and the first one has turned into a frog.

    Catch up with you all later

    Well...it looks like I might be on the way after all. Definite period-like pains and strong braxton hicks. Slow at the moment, but when I walk about, My whole stomach tightens up and gets ache-y. I've never gone into labour naturally before - does this sound like the real thing? :confused:

    Thanks to torianut, embb, scaredycat, shell and catznine - I'm so excited about the whole thing, it's nice to know that other people are interested too!

    Not counting my chick until she's hatched though. She may just be testing the waters...:D

    Right, most of my list is done, so I'm off to vacuum throughout and see if that encourages her at all.

    Happy birthday solwaykid :j and well done nicki, you are an e-bay demon!!!

    Feel better pollybear! Take care of yourself today, lots of fluids and rest.

    Sorry if I've missed anyone, the vacuum is calling to me. ;)
