    Oodles of sympathy, amyloofoo. I survived on not much more than very very dilute lime juice cordial for 9 months each time I was in your condition. Mind you, I was slimmer after each birth than I'd ever been! You wouldn't think so if you saw me now... :o

    Have already moved boxes around and culled pre-2007 invoices for datashredding. As I retired in 2009, there's not a lot of paperwork left from my business now, and there are some good gaps on the office shelves. I am planning to get a lot of sorting and packing done in here today.

    I found 2 portions of HM lasagne and an apple crumble in the freezer last night, so with boiled new potatoes left over from last night's meal and some broccoli that's getting near its best-before date, that's tonight's meal sorted :D

    On second thoughts, we're off to folk dance club tonight, so maybe crumble will be replaced by stewed fruit and ice cream :p

    Amyloofoo - hope the morning sickness wears off really soon.

    Morning :wave:

    Feeling bleurgh this morning. DS wasn't feeling too well yesterday, but we sent him to school regardless. Apparently he was sick last night whilst I was at work and has woken this morning with a headache, nausea and stomach pains. I've rang school to say he won't be in which I feel bad about as he seems to have had loads of time off this year, at least once a month. I'm now feeling nauseous too so it could be payback for being a tough Mum. :(

    Quite a few of you (and fb friends in M/cr) saying the weather is not too good in your neck of the woods, so if I don't do anything else, I'm gonna strip my bed and gather up any washing and get it out on the line before the weather breaks here.

    Off to work in a bit but will join you all later.
