    Morning all

    One load of ordinary washing done and then I did the cats blankets, and then did the machine empty with vinegar in the drawer (have to do that to get rid of the hairs).

    Put some out on the line because it's lovely at the moment but rain is forecast later. I've put the socks and underwear on the airer, too fiddly to get in quick if it rains suddenly.

    Tidied the living room, S&Sd the kitchen and washed up and put everything away. Will do the bathroom in a little while. DD has her day off today and may want the computer later so I'm getting on here while I can!

    Oh and I took the dog out and she's having a kip now :)

    :hello: blimey I disappear for less than 24 hours and what do you lot do CHAT!!!!!!

    Well yesterday turned a bit pear shaped as we went to mum's to try and rearrange Dad's surprise party for next Wednesday. Someone they know died suddenly a couple of days ago and the funeral is next Wed at 2pm, plus before they knew that Dad rang mum to say he had arranged to go and see a car he wants to buy and that is arranged for ......... next Wed morning :confused: sooooooooo plan of attack is, they go to see said car, come home, quick lunch and go to funeral. When they get back they will see a note on the door saying 'Grandad put this post code in your Sat Nav and be there for 5.30pm' Of course he will ask Mum what's going on and she will say 'No idea, let's go'

    Then yesterday afternoon we were trying to organise a cake and decided that one of those photo one's from Asda with a pic of Dad and the GKs with enough room left for 60 candles on the top.

    Today think we might go to Meadowhell to spend my Christmas vouchers, spend A's WHSmith 'credit card' and get their feet checked. Also need to look for a photo album so we can do a 'This is your life' type thing for Dad.

    Meant to send HUGS to MOAM as well, you are in my thoughts. Think we should get Mudbath to do a positive health dance for you seeing as she has been so successful with the money dances ;)

    Morning all.

    I've done my dalies and hoovered most of downstairs.

    Off to town now with heaps of bags of stuff to deposit at various places.

    Be back at lunch time but we have friends for diner so I've got a bit of cooking to do.

    Pain relief:

    Tens with first useless but kept me distracted for a bit.
    Gas and Air not bad
    Pethedine great - did not make me sick, did not affect babe - home birth so that is all you could have

    2nd no pain relief - quick and easy delivery, he was early

    3rd gas and air - wanted epidural (not a good birth) but by the time the guy arrived to do it I was pushing.

    You will be fine - have an idea of what you plan to do but prepare to be flexible too.

    Morning.

    Not done any flying yet today - just playing with DD2 then going to M&S with my mum for a coffee (a free one I might add - I've got a voucher).

    A big thank you to everyone who has given me Walkers points. So far we have saved 244 points! The plan is to use the points for a weekend away in London - we want to go and see my brother as he has been living down there for about 3 years now but we've never been able to afford to go. It costs 50 points for a 2 nights for the price of 1 in a hotel and there are lots of 2 for 1 on meals at various pubs and 2 for 1 on trips out too. The other points we'll use for days out as we probably won't get a holiday again this year (unless we win the lottery in which case I'll pay for all the flyladies holidays this year).

    Right - mum's here now so off for a coffee.
