JKS - yay for DS1! :) I don't know how you still have the puff for orchestra, I'm not sure I could get a note out of my clarinet at the moment!!

DH was being so weird about the new fridge. Normally I'm the one with the purse strings held tightly in this house so it was v.strange to have him saying 'hang on'. If it wasn't quite so expensive then I would just have ordered it, but it is a lot to spend without agreement

JKS. Aw. Good for him. Can't get my head straight at the mo. Have been working on the computeer all day, and feel I've achieved nothing. Meetings and stuff tomorrow, must apply myself.

Ali - I often don't! If it's a piece I'm confident with i just do the fingering and save my breath. I figure i probably won't make many rehearsals next term and will turn up for the July concert so these weeks are my last proper practices!
I often have to stop and just catch my breath as i get light-headed v quickly.
Only 2 or 3 more til the end of term though :)

DS2 up from 5.23...

Morning all :)

Am feeling a bit gutted this morning, the new next-door neighbours have got men in to cut down trees, i expected them to chop down loads of lleyandii (sp?) that the previous one put in before we arrived but they've gone for the 3 beautiful mature trees along their back fence.
I dont get it at all, they should have at least waited to see how lovely they are in spring/summer/autumn, and they'll be totally overlooked by the houses at the back. And we will be a bit more overlooked too :(
Chainsaw has hardly stopped all morning.
They're also doing something with the front driveway, mostly has involved a digger digging up the garden & a man bashing down the old wall at the front.

JKS - that sounds sad about the trees :( We have some lovely ones in our garden, and I'm sure some people would get rid of them but I love the privacy and one is a beautiful flowering cherry that comes out around my birthday normally. I adore it, even though it sheds things all over the washing for about 6 months of the year :)

I'm not sure whether I might be in labour today I was induced with DS so I don't know what to expect. Loads of tightenings, some are BHs but others are more in my back and then spreading. All very irregular though so perhaps nothing, but DH is working at home just in case!

Ooh Ali - have you found the contraction master website? it's v handy for timing weird & irregular stuff :)
a tad though, i want to in labour, well in a few weeks!

And i'm sure i'm over-reacting about the trees but with the constant drone of a chainsaw i can't stop thinking about it, the men have moved onto the lleylandii at the sides now, which i can understand but if the cut back all the boundary bushes (some not lleylandii) our garden will lose so much privacy.

We have parents evening tonight... DS has had a great couple of weeks though, and a super report at half term, so fingers crossed it will be a good one!

Well the tree killers choppers have knocked off the day, started trimming the boundary bushes but didn't actually demolish them, sure they will be back.
Now there are men & a concrete pouring truck at the front for the new driveway. Boys are most impressed :)

This is a different friend to the one who lost her first pregnancy so late on last year.
