  • Morning everyone.

    It is lovely to behaving a leisurely morning. Unfortunately charlie couldn't have his jab today as the nurse had rang in sick, but i still went to have my midwife appointment and we got a few bits done while out.

    had a strange appointment. My blood pressure is lower than normal, i have lost 9 pounds in the last 31/2 months, and it took her nearly 5 minutes to find a heartbeat. Don't think i breathed for that 5 minutes. Though she reckons we are ok :confused: so i am going to chill out and relax until my scan next month.

    Anyway, LDJ - i know why you were freaking out. I'm glad the girls helped you out.

    Tia and mumofjusttwo - happy anniversary wishes. hopefully you can have a nice evening with your DH's and make the most of it.

    anyway, list update while the kettle boils i think. :coffee: anyone? I apologise - i already ate all the cookies i bought today. :rolleyes: well i have to make sure i don't lose any more weight on this strange diet. Best one i have ever been on anyway ;)

    Morning all

    Back on-line after the internet threw a wobbler yesterday pm. Switched it on today and back up and running:confused: .

    I have maintained this week rather than flew but things are looking ok. Planning to go for the deep down clean over the next couple of weeks no nook or cranny will be left untouched.

    Cold seems to be drying up now thankfully, have got driving lesson this afternoon think I would rather just curl up on the couch for a couple of hours:o . Will have to drop littley off at nursery in a bit too, maybe a quick coffee to gee me up.

    I have:-

    S & S Kitchen
    S & S Lounge
    Put wash on
    Took washing off airer (will iron tonight)
    Hoovered through
    Put bins out
    Ordered some stuff from tesco direct (dont think that counts for the quidco cup though:confused: )
    Paid cheque into bank (Finally:j )

    Washer just finished so must hang next lot over airer.

    Back later:D

    tia-hope your LO feels better soon. How long have you been married for? I have been married for 9 years today.


    Well, hubby says it's 3 years, bur I think it's 4. Or possibly 5... I'm sure it's 4. Was before I was pregnant with DS2 and he is 2 and a half, and I had been working for 6 months before i fell pregnant, after I was married.

    It doesn't matter how long, all that matters is that he does as I tell him! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • Afternoon everyone,

    Still feeling pleased with myself!

    Today I have:

    s/s bathroom
    stripped bed and put in wash
    been through lengthy mortgage application
    got quotes for buildings/contents

    I must still do:

    tumble sheets
    re-make bed
    work 7 hours
    wash up lunch stuff
    collect DD from school, and take to music lesson
    Parents' evening tonight
    Make pasta for dinner after
    Vacuum bedroom floor (which would take me to Level 2 - woohoo!)

    I've still got the lists from Mon/Tue/Wed, so will do more if I can, but am not stressing yet, as I can already see an improvement in our living conditions!

    I hope everyone is recovering (including the littlies) and has a good day.

    rumbly x

    hello all

    busy morning for me, assembly went well, haircut looks fab (always feels so good when they've dried it etc,

    when i came out of the hair dressers there was a message on my answerphone from the HR woman from the job place. tried to call back but just voicemail, but her message said she'd call back later anyway so will wait and see i guess. hate waiting!
