    Nearly finished the ironing. Just duvet cover to go. Watching 'The Palace' on tv and quite enjoying it - is it a one off or regular show?

    Michelle - If it stopped you doing anything I'd ban her from putting a list up, somehow :rotfl:don't ask me how as I haven't thought of that part, but I know what you are like and we have to scream and yell at you before you listen. No offence honey but you're a right stubborn one aren't you?! Hormones and nesting stuff is unfortunately part of pregnancy but you need to ignore the urges sometimes (even if that speck of dust makes you cry!-been there myself) and just relax! I'm not trying to scare you but I already have a friend in hospital who's been told she must stay in for the rest of her pregnancy at 34 weeks because of stress & overdoing it, now I know you wouldn't like that having Charlie at home! So slow down before you are made to slow down, please.

    Dusty, now you are scaring me, ironing duvet covers!!! Not a chance I would, I used to do them, now I prefer to stick biros in my eyes than consider it.

    **Joins spy ranks** I do come with qualifications, I have caught several cheating partners by using various spying methods :D
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I agree with Lil_me about everything! Michelle - LOOK AFTER YOURSELF or i'll dress up as the rabbit and come round to your house and beat you about the head with a carrot! Now, how threatening was that!

    I don't do duvet covers either....line dry and then last five minutes in the dryer then straight on the bed. There's been no biros sticking in my eye for years!

    I really, really, really hope the red Fiat parks there tomorrow Soappie; I for one will be disappointed if the spy mission has to be aborted. The whole mental image of loads of Flyadies tiptoeing round being furtive -one in a rabbit costume (what?!) the others in shades, mystery shopper and a Brownie outfit is making me laugh and should be enough to scare the Fiat owner out of the area for some time.

    So do I Solway - hope they park up - they won't know what blocked them in and when they've finished being blocked in they won't do it again! And I thank you ladies for your generous offers of help and disguises etc. and will call upon you if needed. you are truly wonderful :T:rotfl:

    But I have to point out that the secret password is not "The infant on the lap dampens the spirit" but "a babe burping big burps on the shoulder of an Armani suit means a man needs the immediate attention of the dry cleaner" so Confucius says...

    But I must offer a word of warning the one with the Rabbit outfit. You need to reconsider. We don't want the Con Air situation where it's a case of "Don't nobody move or the bunny gets it".

    And, if it goes to Plan B and the web cam (which it probably will knowing my luck) then I will take you ladies up on the offer of helping me monitor it. You might just find it only marginally more interesting that watching paint dry.

    This is Soappie signing off from this aspect of this thread at T minus approximately 9 hours and 25 minutes and counting :cool: tick tick tick
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Let's spy on pigpen and see if she really does her flying or if she just gives us lists and then lounges around all day in her Pjs!

    Feel free.. you can check my wheelies for the binbags of crap rummaged from DD1's room too..

    :D

    Now shut up and get on with your flying.. your house looks like a hovel.. I wouldn't be surprised to see environmental health .. or is that mental health :p .. at your door any day!!

  • scary stuff - i know. I need to take a chill pill and just go with it. It is hard though knowing that i am back at work next week and will have less time again, and the pressure of all the DIY work still to do by DH in who knows what time. It's never easy is it.

    I certainly don't want to end up in the hospital or anything like that or worse, so i will try to follow orders.

    I'll need to be right here for ORF tomorrow.

    perhaps i'll do some sit down jobs:
    • shred pile of stuff i got out the filing cabinet today
    • email my work colleague
    i do think sitting on the hard dining room chair while i am here today has not helped. I usually am stood up all day, so my knees are not used to the sitting position.

    DH is doing the morning nursery run, so i am going to have a bath and wash my hair 1st thing in the morning.

    Thanks, I needed that!

    **Confession** I've only ever walked into a Lush shop once :o

    :jMichelle has said she is going to try to take it a bit easier, now I won't have to worry as much! Better stick to it and not just hide what you've done!

    And I look convinced do I... ???

    A duster which has been used actually has DUST on it.. the only dust on yours is from it being thrown on the counter top for the last 8 years!!
