Work went really well, only a tiny bit achy so i'm happy. I've got three booked in on Saturday....two hours gap between each one. Can't wait....

HHC 115 till 145??? xx

I've just rearranged DS's bedroom and wiped skirtings and floor while I was at it. I have to try and keep the dust down because of his allergies. The bedroom looks bigger now though and he's better at keeping his room tidy than DD1 who is a nightmare (like I was when I was a child )

Talking of birth stories - when I was in labour with DS my waters didn't break until he was almost out - then they shot across the room like a water cannon nearly hitting the midwife! :rotfl: She had to dodge out of the way. :rotfl: Luckily all my births were really easy - used only tens machine (didn't like gas and air) and they were all over 9lb. :eek: Strangely the largest (DS) was 9lb 10oz and is now very small for his age. Mind you I was over 11lb and am now the smallest in my family despite being the biggest baby.

I'm about to go and mop the kitchen floor - I've sort of dibbed in and out of the week's list because I hadn't done anything properly for about 3 weeks so I did stuff as I saw it this week. Next week I'll stick to the list - there's a real sense of satisfaction knowing it will all get a good going over in a proper orderly manner :rotfl:. Right, kettle has now boiled so I can fill the mop bucket (after I take a bit for a large mug of coffee :D)

Right, I'm back and nice and clean - the dogs will sit next to me now!

DS fast asleep so not rushing to go over to him, just need to be there in time for school run.

Can;t be bothered to do the ironing, I'll do it tonight while watching pap tv. Just going to drink my cuppa and enjoy the peace

Mudbath - glad it went okay

No Dusty today??

Mudbath

I thought dusty was going out for the day???

Hugs to all with poorlie littlies.

Pigpen - good on you emailing your friend. I know what you mean about it being easier not to...that's the only thing i'm dreading if we to do to the states. I won't know many people so i'll have to be brave and friendly. Scary - I might just stick to my virtual friends on here!!

I didn't want to do any cleaning but made myself so the list isn't doing too bad. Just going to put parafin wax on my wrist for half an hour then i'll do another hhc.

Mudbath - forgot to say yesterday well done on the walk. I'm doing a 13 mile one in June and think have only ever managed about 5 or 6 miles before - will probably take 12 hours! Glad the work went well.

No Dusty today??

Ah thanks for noticing! I have been out most of the day Mudbath nowhere exciting, chiro, pick up cricket shoes, stop at farm shop for compost and veg, habitat, tesco for some extra clubcard point bits.

Also the local gardener who has a copice has brought me a massive pile of hazel to repair my fence - kids need to move all that from the front to back garden through the kitchen.

I have just finished putting away all the statements etc that I was sorting out last night whilst watching the Apprentice. Another corker of an episode:rotfl:

Right next post will be my list to see what I should be doing next. DS3 has an eye test booked for after school and I need to pop to the bank too.

Glad you're ok dusty - I thought you said you were going to be busy. Do you want DS's beaver sweatshirt or did you get one?

Hippy - thanks for the congratulations. Hope yours goes well. I'm doing the run for life with dd in June. It'll be our third year and she's really looking forward to it.

All i've got left to do is get prescriptions, wash dd's running kit (but she's not used it yet) and do maths with both children which won't be until later as they're going to my mum's for tea.

My wrist is a bit sore...guess i've over done it a bit but it needs to be used so it'll have to learn to keep up.

Tomorrow i'm going to have a MASSIVE spring clean to remove ALL remaining hot spots from the house. Need to keep busy tomorrow as DH should be finding out more about whether or not we're going to go away. If we are then I need to sort out the house. If we're not at least i'll have sorted it out anyway. I think that's logical xx
