Evening all

Well I managed to get back of the couch and do something this afternoon:T . I had a sorting session in our bedroom so getting better in there, still a couple of packing boxes thought (DH computer stuff:mad: ).

Picked DD1 up from preschool, moved the garden furniture round (meant rebuilding the table:rolleyes: :rolleyes: , but getting there. Made pizza and salad for tea in the end, plus 2 more pizzas for the freezer for those lazy nights;) . Wiped oven out after tea with vinegar so looking good .

Also rang Powergen with final meter readings from old house and phoned Anglian water regarding direct debit to find out the lady I spoke to last week had not amended the system or logged us to the new address

Anyway tomorrow I shall be:-

Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs

Level 1
Dusting and cobweb removal (if you want to dust round things that is fine)
Level 2
Vacuum floor and sofas (need to clean 2 seater sofa as DD2 was asleep on it when I attacked the 3 seater with the saddle soap)

Laundry – washed, dried on the line, ironed and put away

Just been reading more, what a fab choice of song AnWsMum, hope everythings coming together well

Thanks, Dad and I have just finished preparing the service sheet. I am really pleased with what I have done today. I am determined Wednesday is going to be a positive day.

Just wish I had the same results with my flying *looks round* mmmmm don't think I have hatched out of the egg let alone learnt to fly! :rotfl:

I shall go and load the DW right NOW

Hello all ,

I have read all of the posts, but only remember a few I'm afraid (poor little bonce is becoming more and more fuzzy as sleep deprivation continues).

AnW's mum, definitely a good choice of song. I hope that you're feeling ok and holding up at the moment. You're very brave and strong, I think he must be very proud of you.

Tracyg, good luck with the health visitor tomorrow. If your instincts are telling you that it'll be ok, then trust them. I, like you, always like a check from the HV though, just to be sure.

Pigpen, you and your family are just too delicious. I have a burning desire for a large family too and DH has said that if we're ever lucky enough to be able to afford it, then we can have more children. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Lil_me, painkillers can often be made more smiley with a small vodka chaser!

Happyathome, just wanted to say that I've been reading your posts and I think you sound lovely, stop being so hard on yourself.

Michelle, how are you mrs? How's the baby?

Shirley, how's it going chick?

I never seem tp post a list any more, I'm so busy catching up with posts and chatting about my life that I don't have time to talk about flying :rotfl: . I'll get kicked off the thread if I keep this up!

I think Owen will be back at playschool tomorrow - he's finally getting more scabby and less pus-y :eek: . Seeing it written like that, I don't know which is worse. He was eating an apple earlier, got halfway through it and gave up, so he donated it to me. I had three bites before I noticed that one of his scabs had flaked off onto its surface. Needless to say, for once I didn't mind the waste of throwing away a half-eaten piece of fruit! It's a very good job I love him, I couldn't have stayed in the same room with anyone else who's crusty skin I'd come that close to eating. (Vomit sounds in the background).

Freya's really well, she's absolutely delicious and changing rapidly now. Her face is losing the newborn look and becoming rounder and she's much more alert now, her eyes are wide open when she's awake, she's taking everything in. :j

The house is still looking good and we now have plans to start little pieces of 'maintenance' decoration. You know what I mean, same colour on the walls, just re-painted to hide the chocolate fingerprints and other flotsam left by small hands. :rolleyes:

Tomorrow I have to change Owen's bedclothes as he had yet another awful nosebleed. He doesn't have time to use his cream to stop them as you have to wait seven days after the last bleed to use it. He rarely has a seven day gap. It looks like he may have to have it cauterised after all. Not fun.

I'll also be doing my usual dailies etc.

Sorry to all of those who I've missed, I know that there are lots of you. Grannynise, rach, savesarn, moneyqueen, pollybear, poohbear, penelope penguin, shell, nicki, solway, this is it, kiwi, beccatje, denisenz and any others that I may not have mentioned, hello and have a happy day/night. Take care all, I'll call back in tomorrow and I'm always here in the background. x
