Hello,

I am starting to get a bit bored and stir crazy (was out yesterday!) I have got the MW coming at some point tommorrow but They have'nt called, so I guess I just wait?
Anyway I'm going to listen to my hypno cd now and try and relax until they come (I hop it is not at 5pm tommorrow or I will be climbing the walls).

So my list for today is:

Ahh NBM it is hard, when I was told to rest I built nursery furniture, I sat on the floor with electric screwdriver sdrewing the wood together, but my bp wasn't really bad until the day after due date so was brought in a couple of days later, bp sky high at that stage

Hello Everyone,

Anyway I have:

Showered and dressedDONE
Breakfast and lunchDONE
Trip to hospitalDONE
Quick look round the shops before labour ward tour startedDONE
Labour ward tourDONE

Need to:
Take raspberry leaf tablets
Take spa tone
Nap
1 load of washing
Drying
Check DD has uniform for tommorrow
Put liner back in pool

OH NBM . Have been thinking of you this weekend hope you are managing to get some rest despite all the worry .

JKS he has only painted the ceiling in bathroom I still need to get the paint for the walls in there but all the doorframes and skirting boards are wet so I think it is best to avoid tonight .

Hi everyone,

dh decided to look under sink at leaky pipe

had to remove kick board...... NOT a leaky pipe but a leaky dishwasher, OMG the damp

He has atempted to fix but I'm going to look online now for new dishwasher, that was not in my budget for next couple of months

NBM please take it easy, although not the end of the world having hospital delivery

ComeWhine - good plan

NBM - hope home birth goes ahead, or a nice hosp birth if not....put those feet up!

Plum - bad luck re dishwasher! we spent a fortune getting ours repaired a while back as it's such an expensive make it was worth it but still painful. (we didn't choose it btw, was in the house when we moved in)

Today:

• look at papers DONE
• roast for all cooking DONE
• boys bath night soon

Ongoing:

• get disc out of disc drive!
• get to 8stone 7lbs (new low of 9,1)
• look up family tree stuff on 1911 census site

Oh dear PBM . I feel the same about the dryer hoping that we have a nice few months and I can put off buying a new one for a while but I think I am going to have to get one sooner rather than later it is a nightmare getting things like towels and bedding dry .

Right my hallway is painted and just needs a new carpet (should be getting next weekend) and some bits and bobs .

Well I will just have to rave to you all about my brill dh, he has fixed the dishwasher, we have put a rinse cycle on ..no leaks, so on again now on full cycle, no sign of leaks so far

although dh is raging we didn't do it sooner as damp on kick board yuck
Although was looking forward to new machine , as like you JKS our came with house and is 10/11 years old now

But I'm still excited as have to pick colours for walls, currently red (think its roasted red was here when we got here) but I'm thinking of changing to yellow
There is yellow white red green and blue tiles around surfaces, kitchen country oak style, green range red brick surround

what do you think red or yellow?
