I have cake anxiety.

The cake is cooked. Smells lovely, looks fine but am wondering if it is a bit thin. I cooked 2x9 inch tins and the two cakes are each only about 2cm deep. But then I suppose they will go on top of each other and look better.

Humph I may have to cook another .... arrrrgh.
Am cream crackered.

HMHB - personally i'm a fan of slightly shorter cakes - easier to eat

HMHB that will be fine - remember that you'll have something in the middle and then icing on top which bulks it a bit.

JKS/Ali - good plan. A shorter cake it is. DH assures me once there is tonnes of butter icing in it and on it, it will look just fine .

OOOhhh She was doing alot of nesting the last couple of days

Well I feel like crying, very silly really but got dd2's letter for nursery she starts on the 6th, and I feel really sad shes my baby, of course she is just sooo excited!

Ahyway have to go pick ds from gaelic and then dcs are going to MIL to watch Nanny MacPhee 2, I'll come home and see if dh can cheer me up

Oh & HMHB cake will be fine, I want to see a pic!!

Sorry to disappoint

I did have reflexology yesterday which was lovely and thought things may have been starting last night, but no.

I am measuring spot on for dates, the MW thinks it is going to be a biggish baby, so how the hell does it have room to move it's legs from one side to the other every day?

plum I feel your pain!! My DD is starting big school in september (they take them full time from the start), although I will still have DS3 at home I am God knows what I'll be like when he starts nursery

wasting Your cleaner idea seems to be working, I was thinking I may put the jobs I hate, like cleaning skirtings, in my diary. My thinking is if I've made a date with them I will do it

My dishwasher stopped working on saturday and the engineer can't come until thursday As you can properly tell I HATE washing up!!!! Although yesterday I discovered if I leave long enough (no plates etc to use) DH will do it. Will be trying that again today

Right, next I will sort out the kitchen, but NO washing up!!

Rainbow - i'm with you on that, hate washing up too!

Plum - well if he cheers you up enough it could solve the baby going to school thing

Alice - thinking it might be starting it still exciting!

Afternoon!

Bit of a disaster, DS is not up to the walk to town, he was mardy before we'd even got there today. Buggy it is! So we had to catch the bus back which was exciting. We've not caught one home since we moved here last October.

Alice, I thin you'll have to hurry up you know. It's just tooooo exciting.

I hate washing up. The other house we nearly moved into last year was big, with no garden and move expensive, but the kitchen was lovely and had a dishwasher. Not a good enough reason, but what a difference it would have made!

Yes, the cleaner did very well.
She's coming back in a few mins or the floors will never get done.
I think if I can get it done at the beginning of the week, then I don't have to worry about it for the rest of the week.

Oh Alice I was all excited! Well done with the pies, I must do some cooking to freeze for DS incase I suddenly can't go near the kitchen.

HMHB - glad the preparations are going well

Rainbow - nightmare about the dishwasher!

Wasting - you can get table-top dishwashers which I think are about 1/3 of full size. We looked at one for our house before this one as we didn't have room for even a half-width one but then we decided to move so we didn't bother.

Early night

Ali i did that this time, but really was fine this time. I hated the fridge, but i could cook and go into the kitchen if i had to. When pg with DD the thought of the kitchen would make me cry!

Alice - I was the same with DS. I barely ate anything for about 2 weeks and I just couldn't go near the kitchen, it was awful. DH did all the cooking, and I mean all, until I was about 13 weeks.
That can't happen this time, DH starts his new job in a fortnight and he'll be working at home much less than he does at the moment, so I have to be able to feed DS somehow!
I'm hoping I'll be alright, by this stage last time I already felt awful and was throwing up. I had a bit of a moment before lunch but once I'd eaten I was ok.
