Sorted top of wardrobe, 6 things for bin, 7 for ebay and nappies for friend.
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs... Did yesterday
Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more

• 39 fling boogie time, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter Sorted a drawer in bedroom. Makeup, nail varnish, boxes (why are they even there?) hair stuff. Def thrown or ebay at least 39 things on top of wardrobe stuff.
• wipe or dust over the upstairs light fittings.. don't go injuring yourself please you have the rest of the week to work through!
• Clean windows in these rooms
• Wipe down the skirting in the bedroom and on the landing

Even though I had already done quite a bit of this list yesterday, I'm still chuffed. Also picked kids from school, got tea prepared, BM on, took dd1 swimming, home to do tea, kids to bed, washed up and S&S Kitchen, cooked bread, made lunches for tom and even got bags ready for school!!
Will do my very best tom with list, already printed and trying to work out what I can do before work tom, not much prob but the thought is there.
You lot are definitely the kick up the bum that I needed. The only other times in my life that I have actually wanted and enjoyed housework I was pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nite everyone

skintscotslass there should be a button on the alarm that says test.....press it and it should make some sort of noise. If in doubt of it working or not, and you can't find instructions (some you may be able to find instructions for online) for what they cost (free from some fire stations) I would replace them.

Thanks lil_me - now I think about it, I dont think the alarm has ever gone off :eek: . So I'll have a look tomorrow and probably end up replacing it. Cheers!!

Burn a piece of toast, that is what usually set's ours off :rotfl:

And I would prescribe more chocolate nothing else is quite as satisfying.

I know, but I've given it up for Lent!

However, I found some tablet that DD made last week. Not quite as good as chocolate, but it was extremely sweet and just what I needed.

Night all xx

michelle - I had 18 months between my first two. For thelast few months of the pregnancy (ie DS was 15, 16,17 months old) we talked a lot about the baby, he would point at my tummy and say "baby", we had books about the new baby etc etc. I was convinced he'd taken nothing on board at all. But from the minute DD was born he never ever pointed at my tummy again saying baby, it was really like he knew. It was brilliant. I was so surprised. So yes, I bet Charlie is "getting it".

Take it easy , no more dizzy turns please, and dont squash that baby :eek:

Thats it muffins all done and as its after midnight I think I'm entitled to a breakfast one. Even managed to clear up after me and ironed uniform for work while they were cooking so another thing off my list.

See you all at some stage tomorrow
