    Jill I am impressed you can still reach your feet with your bump. I find Avon heel cream really good and find it better to use a hard skin removing scalple (sp) from boots rather than the constant sanding. My feet are always better in winter when I wear socks putting the cream on first but I love being barefoot so will be all summer.

    Right DS1 abd DS2 making far too much noise in the bathroom - oh good OH gone up to sort them out - great he is shouting too now - need to go and stop them all before grotbags gets woken up.

    Floor mopped! WOOHOOO!Q!!!!!!! so excited can't type right, or so knackered. My back hurts! That is the excuse now for not varnishing that wardrobe. Just can't be bothered now! I have been painting today!

    Now, its time to browse the web for shiny things!

    Cheers!!
  • Just a quick pop in for me, been out to mum's this afternoon after an intense day at work with 4 classes to make an impression on. I felt like a bit of an actress as i was far meaner than i am normally, but i have to start as i mean to go on.

    I also did a preg test this morning, which was positive, so i was also in a bit of a state of shock even though i was kind of expecting it. I haven't even had one month's wage packet yet so i will need to save like mad, and i might be imagining it but my suit felt too tight today already.

    Best add contact the midwife for booking in appointment to my list.

    We are pleased anyhow. Double trouble, but double fun.

    hopeelizzy - thinking of you

    ollie welcome

    pollybear hope the computer is fixed properly soon

    Jill oooh, nearly there, i guess i will be like how you are feeling in about 33 weeks. My sister just rang me within less than an hour of me telling my mum to offer babysitting at any time, particularly if i need more rest. Nice to feel supported.

    Anyway, best go as again i have to get clothes ready for tomorrow, repack bags, sort out something for lunch for tomorrow.

    See you all soon.
    Michelle, x

    Evening all

    Not been around the last few days but I have been reading what you are all upto.

    DD1 had another "episode" on Monday, worse yet and she hit and pull DD2 hair so took her to Docs. Doc thinks its down to stress and the major things that have gone on in the last few months, grommit operation, thought of going to "proper"" school, fracturing her arm. She suggested babying her, which is fine when she is normal but when she flips she wants you nowhere near her. Am pleased she did not want to label her as having "behaviour problems" and wanted to see how things go over the next few months.

    There have been a few incidents where she has started to loose her temper but has reined it back in. I got them to check her ears and one has blood in so now has antibiotics for ear infection so guess that could be a factor too. She has had 30+ infections and only ever complained of pain once so guess she has got used to it?

    Not huge bunch of flying done but I did batch cook for the freezer with chicken curries, lasagnas, garlic bread and savory mince. Off to butlins on Friday for the weekend so must pack tomorrow- did get upto date with the IRONING (well apart from DH work shirts).

    Glad everyones kiddies have gone back to school and all seem to have settled well.

    Hugs to those that need them and hello to newbies. I have to say having read the posts over the last few day I have laughed, cried and admired the support of this thread.

    You are all brilliant!

    HUGE HUGE CONGRATULATIONS MICHELLE!!!!
