JKS I hope you get a longer sleep tonight!

Plum - we are! I've now started to plan getting the hall and stairs re-painted, going to ring some decorators on Monday. Neither DH or I are any good at that kind of thing - putting a border up in DS's room was the limit of our capabilities!!

Good Luck TA

Going to need inspiration to get me going this mrning
DS gone to school with no complaints this morning, very little conversation! Think I am going to leave the phone in the school as a slight punishment, they will hold onto it for 10 days but if I go in for it and plead his case they will give it to me! (Though I think I am more punishing myself when I cant get a hold of him and have to ring his friends )

Back in a few mins with my list

Thanks for the good luck wishes everyone. The dinner is a sort of reuinion thing at university for my class - I still live in the same town (stayed for PhD) so it's easy for me to get to but some of my friends are travelling from quite far away. we're having a dinner involving posh frocks, yay!

Sounds exciting TA .

JKS I am 30 weeks now it is going so fast I'm starting to feel a bit scared I know I've done it all before (quite a lot ) but I am still starting to panic .

I got my carpet just a bog standard chocolate brown one I didn't want to spend loads because we want to move soon but it will look nice .
I've bought some little extras too all I need to get tomorrow is the new curtains and pole .

Golly gosh (and other non-offensive exclamation of surprise) you have done it a lot before haven't you CWWM?!

I feel like I am pretending to be a grown-up in my suit

Yes TA just a little bit .
