    Morning ladies. I did a bit in the living room & hallway yesterday so not so much for me to do today. I do need to get the spare bed made up and the random baby bits out of the room ready for MIL's arrival tomorrow though. DH will need to move the bed from the corner of the room to the middle so I can get round it before I can make it though so he'll end up helping me, love him :D

    Wednesdays ~ Living Room, hallway and cloakroom
    15 minutes...

    Find the floors
    Clear the sides of clutter and wipe clean
    30 minutes to spare...
    Vacuum the sofas
    Change water in flowers (they've lasted 13 days so far - i'm totally amazed!)
    Pack hospital bag
    After 4 years of heartache, 3 rounds of IVF and 1 loss :A - we are finally expecting our miracle Ki11en - May 2014 :j

    And a VERY surprise miracle in March 2017!

    LW I imagine you on your carriage with a velvet cloak and the princesses walking at your side with their tiaras on. x
    :rotfl: I do actually have a velvet cloak.:o I usually wear my old and somewhat scruffy Anglian Wolf Society fleece for dog-walking, though.;) The Princesses have green paws now, as the council workmen were cutting the field this morning, and the freshly cut grass has stained their fur.:D

    DD2's bf if sleeping rough in a tent.. I helped him sort a home and he threw it away. He stole something from one of the housemates and sold it.. I can't do any more.. I want DD2 out of there. He has the potential to be a wonderful young man but he is heading down the wrong path.. I've tried to guide him but he thinks he knows best :(
    Oh no; how very disappointing, after you took so much trouble to help him.:( But, as someone wise once told me, "some people simply want to stay broken". I guess now all you can do is make sure he doesn't drag your DD down into the mire with him.:(

    I need to give the Princesses a good grooming today, but will wait til after their afternoon walk, as they're bound to track a load of grass clippings back with them again. Other than that, I'm pootling around and cleaning stuff as best I can; with limited spoons, I'm obviously giving priority to the girls' needs, but I don't think the bungalow's in too bad shape, all thing's considered.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
