    STILL HERE - STILL PREGNANT! :rolleyes:

    Belly is in agony - very tender and heavy :( Hardly slept as was up 6 times in the night to go the toilet! Guess i better get used to it... and i have got all the signs of labour... except "a show", waters breaking.. or the baby! :rolleyes: :confused:

    Don't let that fool you, I never had a show with either of ours and they had to break my waters in the hospital!!!!!!

    Will keep my fingers crossed that baby puts in an appearance soon xx

    Right ladies i better get on, all this deep cleaning is time consuming and makes me realise the jobs i managed to forget about, now i get these daily reminders :rolleyes: and if i don't do them i feel guilty... How sad is that.:o

    I have managed all my list, my house is lovely now. Being a flylady is certainly best thing i have ever got into. Doing it everyday certainly makes for an easier life!:T

    Pigpen those nails are gorgeous, i can't have acrylics/gel as i bite mine down too far.

    Johanne Big hugs hun and hope your little one arrives sharpish...!!!!!!!!~~~~}}}} heres some more labour vibes for you xx

    Cha97Michelle i spent ages reading the 4k a year challenge but i really do not think i could get anywhere near that, although i would love to be able to. I also keep going back in to try and see how others do it and try to see where i am going wrong.:rolleyes:
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
