Maralum, good luck, hopefully Little Miss Stubborn is finally on her way

Posting tomorrows list in a mo, out this evening at kids swimming so usually do on a Thursday as it's usually late when I get back.

Still not done much more, apart from build trampoline, feed and entertain too many kids, shopping delivery away, get swimming stuff sorted etc, bathroom floor needs doing but might do that tomorrow when I have the vacuum cleaner back up there, save carrying it up and down twice in one day..

Just catching up with the days posts and having a cuppa before getting stuck in with cooking.

Shirley- Thanks for the link to the woods.
Solway- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, hope you've had a great day and eaten lots of your yummy cakes.
Nicki- great going with the listing. It's so liberating when you have a huge declutter, hope it all sells well.
Juststarting- this list has helped me get a bit of me time. I work 3 days and the other 2 I would spend all day doing house stuff and never felt like I had any time to myself. It doesn't always work out but I normally manage to pinch a bit of time just for me.
Boston- no tips on getting rid of the smoked haddock aroma I'm afraid. I'm the only one in the house who likes it so it doesn't get cooked very often and DH moans like hell because of the lingering smell!
Maralum- oh my goodness she that little one on her way, so exciting!

Ok better get a shifty on, will be back later when lounge done from my re-worked list.

Maralum - thats how mine started with DD1 then a couple of hours later I had a show. When i got to the hospital the next day to be induced could not believe it when they said i was 5cm.

Keep walking and upright, get that baby in the right position (sure this is where i went wrong!).

So excited..... Big positive pushing thoughts coming your way

Good luck Maralum, hope all goes well,
happy b'day solwaykid, beautiful day for a birthday!
Everyone else. I haven't done anything from my list as not feeling so good. I will delegate a few jobs when all my boys come home from school/work. Oh!, I remember I did make sausage casserole in slow cooker so they don't have to help with meals as well as cleaning when they come home.TTFN!

You lot are going to have to stop the baby coo-ing as i'm feeling seriously broody again, and Charlie is only 61/2 months old. Can't have a 2nd one just yet, and i'm having to keep battling my hormones not to, with DH who really doesn't mind when we do.

I'm a few steps forward anyway. It was lovely popping into work and seeing everyone, particularly as another lady who had a baby in january was there, Need to wake Charlie in a minute as he has been asleep about an hour, and he desperately needs a bath as he has been really sweaty in the car today. It was rolling down his face, so i think he will feel better for a bath.

Just finishing off my cuppa 1st though, as i'm rather in need of it now. Oh, and should put the chicken in the oven if we want to eat tonight. :eek: Best do that now. Good job i came on here to check my list. :rolleyes:

Michelle, x


extras:

• empty some of airers/clothes folded and away
• packed mine and Charlie's stuff for going away at the weekend - just need to do now DH's stuff, toiletries, baby stuff like nappies/food
• emptied bathroom bin

Ive got tea done now just to clean up the kitchen wanted to make muffins but I'll put that on my list for tomorrow as I have done 2 application forms instead.

Tinselfairy I have managed an hour of me time today and feel so much better for it. Just sitting in the garden with book, ignoring the house work.

Well done Nicky I wanted to list a couple of things today but haven't found time never mind the amount you have done hope you cover your garage bill.

Hello everyone,

Happy birthday solaway,

Oh, maralum, good luck and hope all is going ok!!!

Well, i think ive finally made some headway for the first time this week. Kitchen is looking clean and tidy, bathroom and toilets all done and i just need to whip the hoover around, and then downstairs will be looking good too!!!
Childrens rooms both look like ombs have hit them, but im leaving them this week, if they want to live like that, then they can!!!!
Right, off to water the garden, and then the hoovering, and i will be ready to sit down for the rest of the evening!!!
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
