    Pigpen - Hope you're having a good day with most of yours off too school again!
    HopeElizzy - Hugs to you, and AnW's Mum - some for you, too :grouphug:

    Well Wednesday didn't turn out as it should have - have had a !!!! day. The boss got stressed, so the rest of us did as well. We all ended up eating chocolate, including the boss, and here's me just started back at WW last week! :mad:

    Things that were achieved:
    Laundry catch up - one load plus the dogs blankets
    Another half hour spent updating business 'stuff'
    Walked Arsha
    Went shoe shopping with OH 'cos the dog ate his last ones!
    Put all washing, including yesterday and the day befores, away.


    The beginning of tomorrows list:
    Laundry
    Go shopping with DSno. 3 who heads back to Uni of Friday. He is in need of at least some new socks
    Get some new College socks for DS 3 & 4
    Dust & vacuum living areas
    Some more time to be spent on business - that is becoming a full time job in itself!

    Not quite sure how I'm going to manage the shopping. Things have been really quiet, so not much money has come in over the last couple of months. Thank goodness it's spring and the grass is growing again.

    Right - I'm off to bed - have a good day, everyone.

    Sorry pigpen I missed the last 30 min challenge done of bit of floordrobe clearing so I can get to the wardrobe :o, not sure I could keep up with you anyway! And I have been doing the final half day school run.

    Just collected W from school, tomorrow is his first full day although it will not seem like he is there all day until Monday for me as with me working Thurs/Fri I don't see either of them until I get home from work.

    afternoon everyone

    big (((((hugs))))) for HopeElizzy

    AnW's Mum - way to go on that ironing pile!! You will be noticing my lack of flying and lists etc , hope that will stop you telling me off!! Love the delete housework thing btw :T How did W get on at school by the way ?

    pigpen - ah bless her dont ou love it when they sleep

    Hope everyone else doing ok today and lots of you enjoying some peace for a change!

    I'm feeling a bit better today, had another early night last night, have the fan on in the bedroom pointing at my feet LOL and also it means I dont waken up when DH comes to bed, it sort of muffles out any of his shuffling around.

    Went to midwife this morning, all is fine, baby is head down and a bit engaged so all heading in the right direction. Kids came with me for first time, I've always had them at preschool or with someone. When they heard baby's heartbeat DS said "I can hear the baby laughing" so cute :D
    I'm glad everything is ok but I was half hoping they would say "oooo sorry we'll have to take you in right now and deliver your baby this afternoon" :rotfl: My next appointment is 41 weeks so I hope I don't make it that far!

    We then went to Asda to post some letters, drop off drycleaning and do a shop of the stuff online didnt deliver. I picked up (finally) my Bounty BabyToBe pack , will have fun coupon clipping from that later :) and it comes with a £5 George voucher :T I'll add that to my Flora promotion ones and use for school uniform top ups. The nice man also said oh here try aome Asda nappies(I did say I already use them for DD) but he handed me about 20 newbortn ones :T Thatll last the first 2 days then :rotfl:

    Also managed to pick up 9 Christmas presents for preschool staff at £1 each reduced from £1.50, nice little gift bags of smellies. And the kids got to choose a teddy each for the baby. We are going to wrap them and they can bring them into hospital when they come in to meet the new arrival. Oh and got some nice veggie Cauldron food stuff reduced so bought a few for the freezer. They were also handing out free vegetable choppers but you had to watch some demo first and the kids were whiny so we gave up. It was probably carp anyway.

    Thats about it for today so far. No washing, not enough for a load :T but I must go and sort the dishwasher and get their tea ready to reheat later. And grab some lunch I guess (kids ad theirs earlier).

    Nice to hear form you Jill glad everything is on track with the baby :) Somehow I don't think you will get to 41 weeks. Sounds like a v productive trip to Asda.

    Well I have cleared part of the floordrobe! Sorted some clothes for recyling/flinging/charitying etc, S&S cloakroom, hoovered part of bedroom :rotfl:hoovered bathroom, cloakroom and hall.

    Proper lunch stop now and neighbours ;)

    Hello everyone,

    At work again - didn't manage to get the flying in the living room done last night, as I broke down in the carpark when I was getting the catfood, and by the time I got home (a nice guy came over who used to be a mechanic, and managed to get it to start - don't know what was wrong with it), it was time to go to MIL's for dinner, and then it was too late when I got home from there. Will have to wizz round tonight.

    Everyone has just gone out and spent a fortune on KFC, whereas I was sat here eating my HM packed lunch - don't I feel smug! Anyway, someone may give me some work to do in a minute, so I'd better stop nattering.

    Hugs to HopeElizzy, and your DD looks so cute Pigpen. Congrats on surviving your first couple of days at uni 7WW.

    Catch you all later,

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
