New List Is UP!!!

shell - if you want to be honest say you have changed your mind and want to use it again, if you don't want to LIE and say it's broken! My DPs cross trainer arrives on Thursday, well X trainer as it's a bike and cross trainer in one, he's out of action because of his ankle so I am going to use it. Brrrrr but he's putting it in the garage which is cold, I might let him put it in the conservatory for now so I can use it in the warm :rotfl:

Oh my new mattress arrives tomorrow, replacement from for the 'boat' then they collecting the broken one the day after. So I will have clean bedding and a new mattress. They must have wondered what I was on about when they phoned up and I asked for Wednesday delivery because it's bedroom day :rotfl:

Oh speaking of mattresses, does anyone else have a memory foam mattress topper? I have been considering one because they sound really good but don't know anyone with one for an 'honest opinion' instead of a salesmans.

I've only just finished doing homework etc with the children so i'm going to do a bit of pilartes now. I'm having a slight panic as i've just worked out that I need to earn £550 a month to keep us out of debt this year as there's work that has to be done at the end of the year. I always have about £400 of regulars booked in so I need to try and get a few extras a week. Scary! I guess it's the first time ever that there is a slim chance that we won't go into debt when we need work done. In the past we've just had to go into debt. Right, i'm going to pilarte my way out of this sick feeling!

Be back in half an hour!

Right, dishes done, fish happily swimming in clean water.
I'm going to do the same now & have a shower before I jump into my bed. Doggy is whiffing a little too, suppose I'd better do her first.

Will catch up with you lovelys in the morning. Night

I've not been on the computer all day so I'm having a cuppa while I catch up with stuff, then I'm off to bake some blueberry muffins (yum!) to take to a friend's tomorrow.
Then, I'm planning an early night as my current efforts to getting our 8 month old to sleep through the night have ended up with her waking once more than usuan (11pm, 2am,5am rather than 11pm, 4am)!

Right, pull ups order done, will do tomorrows list now.

Have you tried asking the OT for pull ups on the NHS? When DS3 is ill or we are travelling I use NHS ones that are much better than the huggies night time pj pants. The elastic stays elastic so they truely can be pulled up & down without losing all the stretch at the sides. I will pop in the loft and find the packaging if you would like a brand and bar code? Or I could post you a few to try if you pm your address?
