    Well we're off to an incredibly lazy start due to hours of cluster feeding and snuggles in bed :D (the cluster feeding was Noo, not me!!). Having a cuppa and some brunch now then need to crack on - invited the NCT girls around this week and I've seen all of their (very swanky ;)) houses so I need to get tidying - problem is, I gave them a choice of tomorrow or Thursday and they've promptly opted for a mixture of the two! :rotfl: I don't really mind, but it means I'll be doing less flying for the rest of the week as Friday is busy too so I need to get moving today, really hoping Noo is on board with this plan!

    I am in........from today. EX's ultrasound on Friday was thorough, but the Dr doing it wouldn't be drawn except to say lump is definitely not a hernia and to check that he is diabetic as his liver was very bright. Dr spent all lot of time looking at his right kidney, looking where the pancreas is and measuring his spleen and saving lots of images onto his file. after having 7 pregnancies with 5 beautiful children and lumps and bumps, I have had my fair share of ultrasounds and black spots make me sit up and take notice.


    Dr has asked for EX to have a CAT scan now for Pancreas and Bowels as ultrasounds are not that effective for those regions, and then go from there. So more driving for me ahead.


    Put 1000 miles on the car over the long weekend with horsepiddle, Uni runs and travel to McBu$ted concert.........so very very tired. Thanks to Ionafan for the meet up and picnic, I don't think I would have survived the weekend without you!


    Saw Dr yesterday and BD meds are being changed, need to collect my new scrip later.....DS off to eye horsepiddle in 90 minutes, so will get crossing off the list later


    Time for nursery run aaaargh. be back later :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    *throws iron out the window*

    FINISHED!! Just the boys stuff to put away, TBH I got bored and went to put on a tonne of makeup and some false lashes which are so big I can barely open my eyes :D This is why I shouldn't be left unattended for too long. Debating whether to wash it off before the school run or give the Stepford wives in the playground something to b1tch about?!

    I've also tidied the lounge and polished the coffee table, and mopped the kitchen floor.

    I hope your tum is OK today, piggers. Out of interest, how much is a professional oven clean?!...

    I have a huge range oven and it was £85, 2 ovens, 1 slow oven and the grill, 7 ring hob and a bulb replaced.. I can't get down to do it and it was burning fumes at me so money well spent.. I may not eat for the rest of the week to cover it though lol

    My tum was ok until I had a fork of coleslaw.. it is now on fire and crampy.. I can't decide if that is because it hates me for putting food in it or if it is protesting at being empty and wants more.

    2 loads of laundry done, 2 brought off the line and folded and the work surface from hell cleared of toys, socks, undies ad assorted detritus.. It still needs a good half hour on it to get it sparkly but I am shattered.

    Appliances all scrubbed down, DW run through clean cycle, last few bits put in DW, laundry gathered from around downstairs.

    Frozen watched twice, Despicable Me 2 on for 2nd showing..

    OH's mum has given us the money for her school uniform :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: ... I don't think I am allowed to buy her anything!! I am grateful, don't get me wrong, but it makes me feel very awkward. I still need to get her winter coat and shoes, trainers and collect uniform from school, though they've not said it is ready yet!
