Hello Slatterns all! Welcome Only.

Freaky, thank you soooo much! It's all lovely stuff and very appreciated, he seems to have shot up lately, all his smaller trousers are properly half-mast now.

Sorry I've not been on, had a busy weekend, not had enough sleep and have a cold and am feeling very grumpy.
Can't believe it's Thursday!

I am in full-on(ish) mould-tackling mode, got the frankly grotty curtains down and washed them, but have some tricky sewing to do so they don't rest against the windows when I hang them back up, then I'll be able to do proper condensation patrol instead of it all wicking up into the curtains and rotting.

little list -

• hang washing
• drink hot chocolate
• clean window

Afternoon ladies :)

JKS - have a lovely time this evening, hope you get some sleep!

Wasting - bleugh at cold etc. Have a and a to cheer yourself up :)

Ali I remember worrying and feeling guilty the first few times both of mine played upstairs alone. Now I don't even think about it Though I will have to be more vigilent again in summer as ds has an attraction to open windows

Wasting glad it arrived and is ok, think the dungarees say age 2-3 but they are quite big I think.

Mini sounds like a hotel nearish dd2 could be the best option as that way you can rush off to the birth if needs be.

Only I have dd 4 and ds 3. Am a sahm but thinking of getting back to work if I find something that suits, not searching properly yet though, just keeping my eyes open.

Am not keeping up with lists at the moment, have got out of the swing of it a bit. Must try harder.

ave a poorly snuffly baby and getting the bare minimum done
grrr

• hang washing done
• drink hot chocolate done
• clean window done

I'm looking forward to getting my urine and blood tests done tomorrow, I'm sure I'm a bit anaemic. Could just be first trimester tiredness and coldness, but I think I'm pale. That of course could just be the winter.

Only, you've got a little baby, bare minimum is all you need to worry about, everything else is bonus.
