    I've officially done nothing. DS was asleep for nearly 3 hours, and i just sat on the sofa and put my feet up. ;)


    Actually, i tell a lie, i brought in ours and nextdoors bin, and i have fed charlie 2 proper meals today. He is a strange boy though, he only ate the carrots at lunch, and only the peas tonight at tea.

    I am just really lacking in motivation again, so not forcing myself. No sign of my bump making an appearance today, so you can all chill. It would have been very spooky if me and Johanne had both had babies on the same day. My due date is the 7th of May, but can't see me getting there.

    that Wii fit does look really good, although i would have to buy a Wii 1st so far too expensive. Maybe i could get one for DH at xmas. ;) HE always says i only buy him things that i want anyway, :D

    Right, off to stop DS wrecking a bit more of the house. Can't see the floor for toys, so i think it is time some of them went away.

    Michelle, x

    Ok have turned the house up side down now and still can't find my necklace but i have now noticed a pair of earings gone to so i think i most have been wearing both at the time, took them off and now i don't know where they have gone.

    Who was it that had said about a thing they do when they have lost something and then you carry on doing something and you'll come across it??
    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.

    Evening all.

    Ash - hugs I so know where you are coming from. Last time mine was bad the only thing which cleared it up was going on to a totally bland, wheat free diet. Cutting out nearly all fibre. Today is my first day back on wheat so we will see how I go over the weekend. I won one of those York intolerance test this week - just the basic yes or no one.

    Feeling really proud of myself. Being a control freak usually if I get behind with flying I playing manic catch up or give up. This week I've just done the basics and not fretted and the house is ok. So my weekend list:

    Visit JL to do returns and have a look for various bits
    HHC only in each bedroom - beds are all changed and rooms tidied so just a hoover and wet wipe
    Have a go at weaving the fence
    finish top boarder tidy up
    have a go at aerating the lawn
    HHC on paperwork
    Finish hand sewing (cricket trousers, sock, label new troussers)
    M&S online order
    Find coupon for Knebworth
    Get figures for tax return
    HHC deleting emails.

    I think that is it!

    hiya. i'm home. congratulations Johanne and oh on the birth of little sarah. congratulations nicki on being an auntie.

    funnily enough i've done no flying today. they say the op went well and it was only a partial rupture so that's good.

    i love my parents to bits but as soon as i got home they've scarpered so i've got to sort my two out. luckily they've had tea and are old enough to put themselves pretty much to bed. anyone local want two extra children until bedtime?
