michelle - great to hear from you, glad you are taking it (relatively) easy and that your hubby is looking after you. I had a friend over today, she is 20 weeks og and has been having a couple of dizzy spells like yourself, hers brought on by overheating too.
Hang in there, not long til mat leave, it will be much easier then, and you know from last time when the baby comes the tiredness goes. Well it changes but its not that all encompassing every fibre of your being being drained feeling.
Good luck for the scan. Is it one of those 4D ones ?
Keep those feet up

Lil_me if your talking about bread rolls then I commend you for trying, I haven't ventured further than my BM so I couldn't possibly give you advice:rotfl: BTW Has Dragonville got a cafe somewhere?

Well today was slighty better than the last 2 days! Mind you that wouldn't have been hard! Worked from home today but managed to do 2 loads of washing and hang it up to dry, go to Asda for something for tonights dinner, cleaned the kitchen and finally washed and put away the new cutlery and plates that had been sitting for over a week waiting to be washed! Vacuumed all the downstairs rooms.

Have my work cut out for me this weekend to catch up!

Other things I need to do this weekend

Tesco - massive shop required - cupboards are bare!

Garage is currently full of boxes and packaging from when we moved and from the new things we have bought reckon about 6 trips to the dump over the weekend will clear it all! The I might be able to get into the garage!

Washing and and the ironing, convinced that somehow the whole street has sneaked their ironing into my cupboard.

Need to reorganise my kitchen cupboards (again!)

Car needs to go to carwash

Sort out paperwork, shred the old stuff and file the new stuff

Order bed for DD, been meaning to do it all week

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

Nice day here. To the gym this morning and then met couple of friends in cafe after, and then my friend brought her daughter over to play and for tea.

Have a good weekend guys, I'm trying to chill people to have a relaxed weekend-you know-from reading everyones posts, seeing those people who are stressed. Then it hits me that i'm the one who HASN'T HAD A CIGARETTE FOR 5 DAYS, so I think I mustn't have it that bad after all!! I'm still sane and I'm still thinking of you lot before me!!

Few options, KFC or Pizza Hut in the same place, if you go round the corner where Matalan/Aldi/HomeBargains (just along from Tesco) is there is a nice cafe there next door to Matalan. Then there is the one in Tesco of course. Depends what you need/want really but plenty to choose from.

I make the dough in the BM, it's just rolls I am having a flipping fight with! They're fine with soup etc but if you slice them for a sandwich they split because they are so thin

Well done BTW, I think I'd be snapping everyones heads off by now if it was me. Trust me if you have one now you'll probably end up feeling dizzy and being sick, been there, urgh!

Thanks Lil_me your such a good support, who is holding you up??

Well must be at dance class in the morn so bedibies for me, night night all:A

Night night galantvr4 I prop myself up with a few cushions (well my butt resembles a large cushion or 2 :rotfl: )

I know, I should be asleep but the cordless phone kept bleeping so had to hunt for it, then decided to catch up on coronation street, where on earth did they find that Escort :rotfl:I've never laughed so much for ages, wonder if it's managed to get mentioned on barryboys yet. My friends boyfriend had one very similar in green, same kit on it, wonder if they just repainted it, now that would be funny :rotfl:

I'm not tired, I feel like being lazy but my brain is on overdrive, I can't be bothered to walk up the stairs to go to bed but have done half hours studying without a problem.....trying to think what might have triggered it...maybe the choc brownies because I have only had two coffees today

Firstly, Dusty Kitten nearly got me into trouble. I was catching up on the thread at work (naughty) when I read your suggestion that Pigpen is really Student Phil. Impossible!

I have been at work at lot more than usual this week so lots to do at home. Plus if the rain holds off we need to put the glass in the greenhouse.

Does anyone know how I can make a Diesel birthday cake? As in the train from Thomas the Tank Engine? DS2 (age 3) is determined that this is what I want for my birthday tomorrow. I offered him the Thomas one they have in tescos and that wasn't good enough.
