JKS the crib is a christmas crib, with now a schoolmade crib sitting on top, with any other bit of xmas decorations that didn't make it up to the loft sitting in hall waitng on dh to bring ladders in

yes I will wear the slattern crown

But on the topic, dd is under the impression there is a princess bed in the attic for her(just an ordinary toddler bed)(dd1 has a princess bed ladders and den underneath)
can't remember when we are supposed to put her in it

And no miniplums as I haven't even begun on my ongoing list

Oh that kind of crib
wondered if you had left dd2's moses basket out!

Luckily we have a loft ladder thing installed, there were loads of decorations & bits left over from xmas but i kept putting them up every time i had to go up with more too-small clothes (DCs) or too big clothes (me).

DS2 crashed out again - only woke him at 11.55 to get ds1
Letting ds1 watch some Backyardigans....then we ARE going in the garden whether he wants to or not!

loft ladder (did say so much not on there)
We're here 3 years now and we had to do loads outside as dh works from home, and haven't done much decorating, and we keep finding loads wrong that needs fixed the house is only 10 years old

We've already installed new boiler, now we've discovered some radiators need replacing, and some of the radiators are actually too small for the rooms, hence the damp in porch and in my bedroom

Glad you got some sort of an apology Comewhine. I hve been a total slattern today, after my wonderful start, ended up spending the rest of the day on the computer , my kitchen/dining area is spotless so I was quite happy but the rest of the house is like a bombsite

Me too cikecaka got totally engrossed in a thread again
but dinner is on
packed lunches for tomorrow made
livingroom tidied

so better do
sort and put away clean washing

CWWM glad she apologised

CWWM - I'm glad she apologised, so she should! I ahve 2 weeks left but I have had a scare today, the community MW sent me to the hospital because my BP was up and have swellings plus baby decided to lie across ways! I am back home now but have to have BP checked on friday - HB may be out of the window! How are you?

Waves to other slatterns!

My list is scrapped today as I have been instructed to rest (yipee!!!) but can carry on as normal tommorrow (Booo!!!)

Oh NBM take it easy I hope everything turns out ok .

Oh hope things work out NBM
Still sitting at computer. loud crashing noise from sitting room better move

oh NBM just seen your post hope your alright

Thanks ladies for your kind words. I'm ok.

Oh NBM - what will do about your birth thread if you go off with a high BP?!
put your feet up, well actually don't - read some optimal positioning stuff and see if baby goes head down again. good luck!
