    I am planning things to plant up in the spring as the wee one will not be on solids until about August which should give us plenty to choose from in the garden, well fingers crossed it will!

    Been working in the house today but this evening I am going to try and get a load of weeding done in the front and back gardens. I want it organised and manageable before the end of the summer and before I am too big to do anything useful ;)

    Rummer, I know you want to get things done etc, but please don't over do things, and make sure you put your feet up and have a cuppa and a discwit :D:D

    How many weeks are you???

    sorry I know I'm nosey, But I loved being pregnant, I know this is going to sound silly, but if I could just be pregnant I would, there is no feeling like it, Brilliant, and that is taking in consideration the morning sickness, the aches, etc

    I am taking it easy and resting between bouts of activity, I had been wilting a bit in the heat however it was cooler weather today. Time wise I am at the 3 month mark and hopefully coming out of the morning sickness phase.

    I have a postage question for CTC/Rhiw, hubby is sending some small items that are around 1.5kg each and he may have to post them globally, which courier company would you recommend? He would need to have them insured too incase they break.

    Rummer, cover may depend on item, china for example is very hard to insure. For small parcels (under 90cm dimensions and under 2kg) I would go via Royal Mail International signed for. Cost will depend on value of parcel

    Omgoodness dimmer, how exciting!

    What wonderful news!

    (Bit of a desperate way to get help in the garden, mind you, growing your own assistant..... ;))

    So very, very happy for you!

    I see the old autocorrect is at it again! :rotfl:

    I can tell you now, growing an assistant doesn't work. I've tried it, twice. Both times they just did the basic training, started to become useful, and then legged it! :(

    Must say it was fun teaching them though.......

    I know the Rumlet will bring much joy and, with any luck, he or she will inherit an uncanny natural aptitude with the Fiskars weed puller! :D

    Rumlet, I love it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have already tried growing a gardening/cooking/cleaning assistant but sadly she is not keen to help with any of those things at all :(

    Thank you Rhiw for the postage info :D
