Morning all,

Really wet and grey and windy and miserable here this morning - glad I got the bed linen out on the line yesterday!

Soappie - could we organise a coach trip? We could start on one side of the UK and pick up en route till we got to you!

I don't see why not - it would probably take you hours though and I would expect a bottle of stardrops or a microfibre cloth from you each as a gift - and if you timed it when tins of salmon were on bogof, I could do the fishcakes even cheaper

Right, time for another cup of tea methinks then get dressed - I have a meeting this morning in town which'll take up all morning. Then work work this afternoon - though maybe I'll go to Mr T's on the way back from the meeting. I'm glad it's kids room today - I dont do that so I'll be able to catch up on the stuff I missed on the other days. Fortunately most things are up together because of the visitors I've had this week.

My computer has arrived - 7.55 - so it was even early!

Still sorting out my LR floor - nearly done though - it's taken me long enough!

My mate's going to come over later and help me to sort my PC out as this was is a bit temperamental and I want to transfer my files over to my new PC if poss.

Right I'll carry on

Evening all thanks for all the sharing of photos/birth stories etc. I'm glad I had my kids in the order I did or else I'd only have one!

I only have one for this reason;) Birth was horrendous(loads of complications) and LO has tonnes of health problems. Wouldnt change her for all the tea in China, but we dont think we could cope if it happened again. For the first 6 months we literally had hospital appts every 2nd day:eek: Didnt really get much chance to enjoy our new baby time:(

Did all my ironing last night, just doing a general tidy today as i'm working later.
Have been working on stocking up my freezer, made some pizza dough and sauce last night, most of the muffins are also in the freezer. They turned out really well, never made muffins before so i was very chuffed:D

Getting more and more grumpy with ebay, or more likely the people that use it! Have an item on for £275, Buy it now , or best offer. Why do people think you will accept an offer of £100 IDIOTS!!

At least you have the excuse of being pregnant! I've had a memory like a sieve for no real reason lately:o LO asked me what day it was yesterday and it took me a good 30secs to remember:eek:
