Lil_me, Just stay safe. I'm sure you know what you're doing and I hope things are quiet tonight for you.
I'm not going to rush around like a mad thing this evening. Plenty need doing but I think a more liesurely pace is needed after last nights efforts.

We've been at Legoland all day, am so tired, but kids had a fab day. Had A LOT of weird twinges etc and kept thinking "NO I do NOT want to have this baby here" although - do you think they might have given us all lifetime passes if I'd given birth there :rotfl:Jan GC: £202.65/£450 (as of 4-1-12)

JillD, there's a thought! You could spend the next week or so going round all manner of places and if you're happy to put up with a bit of discomfort and publicity it could be a proper MSE money spinner!One debt v 100 days Part 14 £400/£400

pigpen did i ever tell you that you are a star! Thanks for offering. Does make more sense than me having a breakdown trying to do it, and we can then maybe all help out with some kicks.
Tried to fly today and get all my jobs done. Went a bit pete tong though as charlie was sent home from nursery at 10am for having a tummy bug - i thought it was just teething nappies, but on 2nd thoughts he is now refusing food. We are just trying to work out what to do with him tomorrow as i can't look like i am taking the mickey at work too badly. (especially when i will break my news within the next couple of months).
Flying achieved today has therefore been minimal:
one x WM
did have a good tidy of my classroom so it was tidy for my later start tomorrow, and i can get away quick tomorrow night.
sent DH to the shops to top up my mobile with credit and to get breadbuns for tea, and some lollies for my form tomorrow as i am proud as one was made house captain,2 got As in their GCSE modules, and they got lots of reward cheques this week - all to help with the bonding.
meanwhile i have prepared and cooked jacket spuds, which we are having with salad and burgers in buns
this evening i need to sort my lab plan for next week, double check that i know what i am doing in tomorrows lessons, and sort clothes for myself and Charlie. the vague plan is if he is still off it, either my sister will have him again, or perhaps DH will work from home in the morning before i go in to work, then he will take over while i go in for my lessons, and then him do more work when i get in.
Will try and do another couple of bits too, but will need a bit of a mega clean at the weekend again as i have only managed to hoover through once so the house is slipping already.
Michelle, x
PS - Jill - i calculate my due date to be the 11th of May. Although Charlie was 8 days early,so i suppose it could be April0
