Johanne

I'm so sorry to hear how unwell your FIL is, but that's not much help to you. Just be assured that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH at this time. :grouphug:

Evening ladies

Pigpen - congrats on the job (Mudbath don't forget your 10%)
Soappie - buster and I are reconnected
Michelle - hope your little one is ok after this morning

Considering the lack of flying this week the house isn't looking bad. Had a lovely time catching up with our friends. Off to bed now. IKEA tomorrow so won't be around until the evening when I have one of those nights where I need to be in 3 different places all at the same time.

Evening folks - got a bit busy and haven't managed to get back on and catch up. but wanted to look at the list.



so i think all in all, will see how i can get on when i can although priorities for me and DH for the day are:

• [strike]wash top i want to wear for wedding[/strike]
• wash mat jumpers to give back to A
• [STRIKE]wash my hair[/STRIKE]
• [strike]put boxes of school stuff in the garage so they are not cluttering up the living room[/strike]
• [strike]DH to pick up wedding hire suits[/strike]
• [STRIKE]DH to write some more of quiz[/STRIKE] finished
• [strike]DH to get me some boxes of baby clothes out of loft[/strike]
• disinfect the cot mattress, and soft cot toys, leave to air somewhere
• [strike]remake DS's bed properly for tonight[/strike]
• [strike]bulk cook - lasagna, spag bol sauce and chilli from mince sister just gave me[/strike]
• get the iron on and do a bit from the pile.
• [strike]DH to clean up cat kill from outside the back door[/strike]
• [strike]get washing back in off line and put line away[/strike]
• [strike]put out the black bin once we have filled it with as much of the old carpet as we can fit in[/strike]

plus anything else i can manage depending on how grumpy/sleepy/energetic YKWIM DS is.

No: of items flung = 3
No: of items ironed =

Looks like DS will be off nursery again tomorrow, but will see what i can get done, particularly as dinner is already done.

Oh Michelle, poor Charlie seems to be poorly more than he's well at the minute, reminds me a lot of my DS2 who catches everything going. Fingers crossed he's feeling better tomorrow.

Right, eyes stinging after studying most of the evening, suppose at least this one is interesting as it's Medical Statistics, still got a long way to go before the assignments finished but sure I'll get there (due in on Wednesday so I better :rotfl: ) computer work needs doing next and I am not switching the main PC on (only installed on there) to do it now as it's getting late so putting it away, going to write my to do list for tomorrow (inc contact a charity I have money for from fundraising who haven't returned calls, grr!) and probably start on my meal plan in bed because I have really exciting evenings :rotfl: oh my what an interesting life I have.

Ok bed time, first time my laptop will be off before midnight all week, hopefully (if D2 has a dry bed) my first time in bed before midnight too. Night night everyone xx

Thanks for all the well wishes, tummy ache as eased a bit but not fully although i have had 2 ibuprofen and 2 paracetamol,i do hope my body settles with this coil, i was bad enough before, but the one thing that is bad now i am so damn moody with it. So gonna have to monitor that problem.

Not surewho metioned the they thought the coil wasn't painful, (forgive me)its not too bad its just period cramps but i at the minute i am bleeding every 12 days for 10 to 14 days and have cramps everyday that i am bleeding.:eek:

Tiami whats the magnesium for?:o
also can anyone suggest a supplement for PMS???

Right as said earlier the kids had me up mega early and my mum had me dying her hair last night so didn't get to bed till after 12, my father come over at 9:15 and took the kids and told me to get an hours kip. So i did.:rolleyes: Anyways Little man is now in bed i am refreshed so i am gonna make a start on the house.


I did put a load of washing out before i went back to bed, and made the bed before i got in it and i must be good now at this flying as i got up just before it rained and the washing was dry:T

Morning ladies.

Sad to say FIL passed away yesterday evening at 5:55pm. We're all devastated but least hes not in pain now and everyone got to say there goodbyes. (OH gave him 3 big hugs and kisses one from him, one from me and one from bump because i couldnt be there). Daunting task of the funeral to face now. He was a very much loved man and gave up 30 plus years of his life volunteering in scouting so has touched so many peoples lives...its gonna be huge.. news has spread as far as an ex-scout of his serving in baghdad (!) who will be flying back to attend the funeral.. we stopped counting his get well cards alone at 200ish so god knows how many will turn up and pay their respects.

Really lost at the moment and have only managed 3 hours sleep but on strict orders to concentrate on and look after baby from the whole family. Me and bump were the last people in the family he recognised and acknowledged apparently when we went in the other day.... so im going to do my best to make him so so proud as i know this baby meant the world to him.
