    LW make sure that it is mentioned at the meeting that you have to have the injections to make your wrists useable and that it's unclear how much longer they will be funded. Hugs.

    Everyone fed so I'm going to knit and have a cuppa now.

    Evening all

    Crowd pleaser- sorry to hear about the job
    Gilly- lovely story! Made me smile!
    LW- sounds like the general consensus is the more painful wrist. Hope it offers some relief!
    Mrs mp- was it your daughter who was about 39 weeks pregnant? Hope she is doing ok and not getting too fed up!

    Well. Today didn't go quite as planned. I had a little nap this afternoon! Oops! But I did manage to load the dw, do a load of washing and tidy the living room. By the time we got back from swimming it was time to do dinner. Then there was more furniture to be shuffled ready for the new floor to be laid tomorrow. Didn't think there was much point doing the kitchen as hubby has been traipsing carpets and underlay through it and we now have loads of furniture in it (it's the only room not being done downstairs! so will aim to do that lAter in the week!

    I will be home all day tomorrow, stuck on the Middle floor for part of it! So my main aim is to clear the ironing pile while ds2 watches a film! I must also pack my hospital bag and sort out all newborn clothes. They are are all washed but haven't been put away!

    Short and to the point as ever kaz , and I totally agree!

    Nothing done from list as predicted, as very busy day. Not helped by the fact that Oh had walked dog this afternoon, and as he was in a rush, just let the dog in the house and went straight out. There was no one else in. Dog was very muddy. Dog cleaned herself on:

    Bedroom carpet.
    Bedroom wall.
    Sofa in living room (not the sofa covered in washable dog throws that she is allowed on. The other sofa.)
    Our bed. All over it. (She is not allowed on bed)

    Grrrrrrrr. So, I cleaned all that.


    Ps frizzle , happy maternity leave!
    Sorry about job crowdpleaser
    Night all xx

    Morning all. Feeling a little deflated here this morning as we found out last night that my nephews son has passed away - just a teenager.

    So I should be cleaning the hobby room this morning and getting the bedroom tidy for workmen coming round but I might just say !!! to it all and just soak in the bath before the paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
