    Morning all

    G&B - how's your face this morning?
    Lil-me - hugs, hope the studying goes well today
    Mudbath - how did you get on???? Is it off???? BTW bit late now but my sis had metal pins in her wirst sticking out under the plaster and they just pulled them out, she did faint but said it didn't hurt

    Just off to toddler group in a min, DS is full of beans this morning, DH got up with him at 6.30 and I could hear him shouting for his playroom door to be opened (firedoors so really heavy) and hasn't stopped since! Hopefully toddlers will tire him.

    Got few jobs I want to get done later, lacking in motivation already! Went to the gym last night and my legs are really sore so no bending I think for me!

    Catch you later, have a good day xx Sure I'll be back at lunchtime for some HHC

    Morning all.

    Johanne is still waddling around - she's at the midwife today! I just keep in mind that DD was 3 days overdue when she was finally born although I went into labour the 2nd day after cleaning the house top to bottom so we're expecting the baby to arrive any time! :eek::j:D

    DD is off school still this morning. Glands are still up, throat is sore, earache, temperature, snots but otherwise in fine voice as she hasn't stopped chatting since she woke up :rolleyes: She's insisting that ice-cream and jelly is magic medicine, personally I'm thinking a swift kick up the bottom would work just as well ;):rotfl::rotfl: Mind you she is now sitting watching Tomb Raider so I don't mind :rotfl:

    Did well in the kitchen yesterday, I now have 3 food/drink cupboards, crockery & tupplerwear moved to a lower cabinet (might be a bit more inclined to reuse plates instead of adding to the washing up ;) ), all my casserole dishes and pans now in one cupboard and the large ones for "family" sized meals put to the back and smaller ones which will do 2 or 3 servings brought forward. My slowcooker now has an enforced home on the worktop as there's no room in the cupboards where I used to keep it ;) I only have 1 drawer and 2 cupboards to sort out, one of which is the undersink cupboard which just needs tidying up.

    Are all the bumps still attached? Did the red wine not work johanne:rolleyes:

    Yup as nicki said bump is still attached! :rolleyes: Red wine didnt bring on labour but combined with the takeaway and the huge bar of Dairy Milk chocolate i felt the most relaxed ive been all pregnancy! It was great!! :rotfl:

    Midwife just said baby has dropped "oooh so low" and is now 1/5 engaged compared to 2/5 last week. Had to book my term+10 appointment but hopefully wont need it. Thats on 24th april and then if i need inducing will be within 3 days of that. So we have a deadline now.. :D

    Will tackle list later... got to head to Matalan and TJs now for a new suit for OH... hopefully wont be out long.. but knowing him will be an all day job!

    Take care everyone

    Right kitchen looking good and we can actually get through the front door:j plus livingroom looking ok.

    Need to clean the car as it was too late last night when i got back, so thats next after the sky has been.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
