I'd better put some more things on my list!

JKS - clocks are next weekend, another 10 days of early birding!

Trillian - you've rescued yourself a bit there, I know the feeling of panic when DH is due home. It's amazing what can be achieved in the 20 mins it takes him to get home from the office.

Wasting you are right, tidiness is the key.

Alibab how did you get on at docs

Plum - yes I'm back. I tried everything yesterday - hot bath, flannels, expressing and it was still really red and painful, and I was starting to feel fluey. DS is such a lump (8 months and a v.solid little chap ) that I find it very hard to lift him with a big sore boulder boob! So I have AB's to take and will hopefully be lots better tomorrow!

I haven't seen CWWW on any other threads for a few days either, hope she's ok and not upset still about the midwife criticising her wallpaper!!

Wasting please can you come to my house if you've finished your list?

Alibab I'm making the white choc mud cake again this weekend as MIL pressie, its yum and was easy to make incase your interested

Well sounds like your doing a good job on the feeding front, make sure you keep feeding him from the boulder boob

Plum that does sound lovely, but my Mum is strictly a dark chocolate girl - I think I'll be relying on Nigella - again!

It's not my own motivation Plum - I get it from the couch potato to 5k thread - if you don't go for a run for a couple of days they start asking what you've been doing and why you haven't been running!

I've only just got back from having lunch with my friend so it's a good thing I did stuff earlier!

Hi everyone posting and running will read through thread properly later .

Had a hectic morning and been at baby and bumps all afternoon .

Backache is gone but had a letter this morning from dr's with a script for iron tablets so maybe that is why I have been feeling a bit run down this week .

Hope everyone is ok (anyone know how NBM is?.

Alibab maybe you could replace the white for dark?

ooh, will have to search for NBM, maybe baby has arrived???

Think it was worth hanging everything out, should only need a little while in the tumble dryer but it's such a disappointment when it's not dry!
