    bed time in here then.. just checking up on you all before I retire for the night.. welcome back to the returned peoples and welcome to the new flyers..

    Jilld.. that is a fab plan for the hubby.. glad it is working for you.

    Johanne.. wilkinet for the sling.. not a hard bodied sling (like the baby bjorn and tomy ones which are horrificly bad for your back and for baby) they are too heavy and unsupportive.. I found a wrap sling was the best thing since sliced bread.. but very expensive.. the wilkinet is supportive, simple to put on once you've got to grasps and excellent.. I carried mine in a sling until they were well over a year.. 2 had reflux and simply could not be put in a pram without being very sick.

    Morning all

    And welcome to the new people.

    Nice sunny day here today - will need a cool flowing skirt I think for work today. I'll be in with the kitchen when I get home tonight.

    Have a nice day.

    Morning all,
    welcome to the newbies, welcome back to the wanderers. I was just thinking about you Jill, wondering where you were. And also Tracy, anyone heard from her?
    Its a beautiful day here, which is nice for a change:rolleyes: Wondering when summer is going to start?
    Got the TD on, just having breakfast then i'll make a start. Managed to spill soy milk all over the floor while making my tea:o Not a good start to the morning.
    Good luck Mudbath, hope it goes well.

    Can't believe it's page 3 and it isn't even 8am on day one!

    Level one floor - I'll have to find the dining room floor :eek: But that won't hurt, I'll get stuff sorted out.

    Why are all my bras destroying themselves at the same time? The one I wore yesterday had the wire coming out the side, today the wire is starting to come out of the front. I look like I'm auditioning for Aliens. If it starts picking up Radio One I shall die of shame! Better get it changed before I pick up DS.

    Hugs to all.

    Something I need to do before flying - sort out the garden as there are broken branches all over and it's a right wreck.

    Thank you, pigpen, for putting up the list - really appreciate it.

    Right, time to getting moving...

    Up and at 'em.. I'm not posting a list because EVERYTHING needs doing. I've 3 days off work and want it all done by the time I go back in. Welcome to the new folks this week and anyone like me flitting in and out in times of crisis! :wave: JillD
    Disturbed sleep and man issues have had me in a right old state the past fortnight but new black out curtains and a good chat seem to have resolved things.

    Kitchen to start with I think,and I'll report back at 10. I'm going to need some kicking today and will be up for HHCs.
    Have a lovely morning whatever you're doing.
