I am doing really well today phoned HMRC I have been puttingit off for about 2 weeks. Took shower curtain down and it’s in washer done afarmfoods shop and ordered asda delivery for Friday. Just hope I can keep itup. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Mini if you are concerned see your MW/GP. I was more desperate to get on with the delivery and stop being pregnant with DS3 than my others (although DS2 was early so never got that fed up). Can you reason why? Are you uncomfortable, impatient, excited, dreading the delivery, wanting to feel more organised/in control?

Back garden frogs munched.

Just got to make tea for cricket and get going now. WM1 in and WM2 on the line.

Blummin' eck, I don't know where I've found this motivation from! Lounge is now spangly and kitchen is 3/4 done... although the ENORMOUS ironing pile has migrated onto my bed, so must remember to get that done before DH tries to go to sleep on it :rotfl:

Need to have a cuppa and something to eat now - I think I've done more than my doctor would strictly be happy with and now my hip is very sore, but all in all to be in a clean lounge for once!

Extra Mission:

I guess I should go feed the marauding horde... Moomin away, Tiddles being picked up by KH at some point and DD3 not home from school yet (rehearsals for school production) Dot snoring on OH... she came in from the harden whining got on his lap ad was asleep in a second.. literally.. she must have been exhausted.. she's not staying that way long though!! Anyhoo.. just us 4 and the 2 boys to feed.. they won't go to KHs.

Anyone up for a HHC while I cook? I have laundry to fold and some to hang out the DW to empty and refill and the worktops to wipe..

I'll find OH a job or 3 too I think seeing as he is sat cuddling a sleeping baby and reading a book.. reading I ask you!! Who is allowed to do that!?

running to catch up, pigpen. ive got to put the sewning machine away



i cheated and machine stitched 3 edges when putting the lining on the back but had to slip stitch along the top. i think this is the fiddliest thing i have ever stitched, hope i dont lose it before i stitch the bench it needs to go on.

DS has completed foundation stage at swimming :T bless him! And DD new swimmies arrived this morning, I only ordered them on Sunday night! She's wearing one now - fits perfect. Hope she doesn't grow in the next 5 weeks...

Brought washing in and put swimmies in WM. Will go update my list...


Minnie, what time of year did you have your other babies? Just wondering if its the heat - we've had quite a bit of summer these last few weeks - more than I'm used to anyway...

mrs-moneypenny

MinnieMousesMummy

Thank you to everyone for the reassuring comments/advise upon reflection I think I'm just wanting the pregnancy over and done with so that I'm not in so much pain and so that I can get on with the other things that I need to do, as at the moment I feel like I'm struggling (sinking) and normally I am someone that wants to be constantly on the go and feeling in control.

This pregnancy was also unplanned (I was on the pill and was prescribed anti-inflammatory with no mention of the counter balance) so not a happy experience right from the start so this is probably not helping matters. I think this is something that is causing other problems at the moment as well.

Anyway enough about my problems, How is everyone else, hugs to those that want/need them.

I have managed to get a reasonable amount of work done today (although not as much as I would have liked). I think I will focus on course work tonight and get an early night as I have an interview at college tomorrow. I will return later to update my list.
