have spotted posts about I being breast cancer awareness month - I am off to see GP tomorrow to ask about my level of risk after mum's diagnosis (her sister and niece have also had it).

Have gathered as much info as possible...

Deep breath - wish me luck....

Bossy.. we have these.. my 9 y/o has them she loses everything! .. I tied knots in them to make them shorter and also threaded through the label at the back of the neck a few times so they don't come off either! .. no excuses!

Pigpen, I could do with one of those! I'm always losing gloves.
Can't sleep. My leg feels funny and it's getting windy outside. Have got up for some hot chocolate, trashy TV and pain killers. Hope to get off again soon.

Morning.

I too have been awake a good while, catching up with the thread. Little one didn't sleep for more than 20 mins at a time yesterday since 4.30am so by 9pm was a mess. It did mean when we went to bed she slept all the way to 2am. I've not slept for 5 hours in months. Then woke at 5 for a feed and I've been up since rubbing her belly. Think I may succumb and get up, can hear Dd1 coughing away.

Got the plumber over so feel I need to make the home a tad more presentable as I've stalled this week.

Morning all. I've done all applicable jobs in master bedroom except for hoovering, so my plan now is to go in gym for 15 mins, bathe, walk the dogs, then hopefully time to hoover right through house before the paid stuff.

Have a great day everyone.
