SLATTERNS Yoohoo bring those lists here now!

Aw! Hope he's alright Ali.

Haha! I started the babybel case removal! [grin
It's tedious work, but if I do more tomorrow night I should be able to finish it for good on Thursday when MIL takes DS out for a bit.
Mini, you must be psychic.

Finally off to bed.

Ali I tested last Monday and Saturday but she didn't even ask me, I was sure I wasn't pg anyway,
but now I haven't a clue, seriously WTF is going on, because nothing and I mean nothing is going in my mooncup!!!!!

Ahh poor wee man Ali, talking of doctors have you been to yours to book in?

And Mini you reminded me of one of my most favourite films ever (which I always forget for MN polls)

Fried Green Tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe, who has seen it??

Morning!

Martha, very good film, not seen it in ages though.

It is raining, a lot.

Mini i have a very pathetic looking tomato plant that always looks slightly dead, but have got a couple of small tomatoes on it and they have turned red! Maybe you need to neglect them more

DD up
Pancakes for breakfast

Empty dishy
Dry washing from last night

TO DO

My tomato plants have barely grown, left it too long to plant them up from seedlings.
I've learnt so much this year though.
There are chillis on some of the chilli plants though.

I love the name Martha, but our surname starts with a vowel, so it would be Marther. Meh.
Not that we're actually having another child atm, I just like to plan ahead.

Morning all Being lazy today, we had a bad night with DS and all slept until 8.15, then I have slept some more. DH is working from home today, but in reality has nothing to do because he did his handover to finish his job yesterday.
Not going to bother with the Drs, DS' eye seems a lot better this morning - a bit puffy but no more green gunk. I think all the crying in the night may have flushed it out

Plum - no I've not made an appointment yet, our surgery don't like you to make a booking in appointment before 8 weeks as they get so many cancellations from early miscarriages. Makes sense, so I shall ring maybe beginning of next week when I'll be 7+2.
When do you get your blood results back?

JKS - it must be testing time for you soon???

Alice - yum at pancakes!

Anon - what are Christmas potatoes?

TO DO
Breakfast
Get showered and dressed
Sort car insurance for DH's car
Add DH to my RAC membership
Ring English Heritage to find out where this year's membership cards are
Do Ocado for Friday
Put away travel cot
Town - bank, lunch, Boots - anything else?
Couple of loads of washing
DS nap
Me exercise and shower
Dinner
Clear up
DS bath and bed
Relax
Manicure on self
Bed

AF is here!!!!!!!!!! YEY
So hopefully no Mini I won't need that chat! Menopause I want a baby!! I said that in quite a high pitched voice to nurse yesterday

Ali have to ring end of week so will ring tomorrow

I have just spent the morning googling holidays, dh is determined to go on one, so have found 2, one in a quiet part of Ibiza and one in Tenerife, I think the Ibiza one sounds good good but will have to see what dh thinks!

Anyway I better do something as dh has been up from 6 working and all I have done is get dcs showered

oh and dd2 was sick abit this morning but has been fine since

Ali I suppose that makes sense, it will be all the more real once you go

hi all
sorry not been about

Alice - hope things are going ok
Mini - all that heat must be using calories though??
.
lists gone haywire here. DH off at the mo and we are doing various jobs plus trying to do summer holiday things with kids.

I'll rummage up a list later...

Night all.

Night all - list not really happened today although I did buy myself a birthday book in town so that is something crossed off the ongoing list!

Alice posted on FB earlier, she popped up to the hospital earlier after a weird midwife appointment - baby suddenly measuring big - but she is fine I think. Alice hope you don't mind me sharing!!
