The "things to do today" list makers, otherwise known as the Slatterns - thread 248,309

[FAQinglovely]

here you go - new shiny thread all ready for us when the current one fills up

What have you been to see Flame? I must say, those Iceland ads have tainted all my memories of first love.

I think it is more expensive to have milk delivered, but - if I go to the shop for milk, I may return with cake, newspaper etc. which is pricey, the convenience of it being there when I get up, plus the enviro-goodness of the returned glass bottles.

Wasting - went to see Priscilla Have blanked Iceland from my mind. After seeing him in several things now, I am firmly decided that he suits heels and corsets best

plum sounds like a nightmare hope things get better soon .

FS good luck with your friend .

Things are not going well here I think I have to admit defeat I can not keep up with the housework anymore I have just tried cleaning the bedrooms while dressing the girls and have ended up dizzy and my ankles have swollen up . I am also finding it hard to bend over to pick things up .

You're not a bad mum CWWM, don't be silly. Children don't need to be taken places and entertained every single minute.

Are your bigger ones old enough to be helpful yet?

JKS - 'one tiny baby is not that much work'? Really? They sound like hard work to me.

CWWM dcs don't need brought anywhere mine are going to be stuck in by the looks of thing for the rest of the week,
stick a blanket outside give them a plate of sandwiches all kids love a picnic
Don't be so hard on your self you're heavily pg

I forgot to mention got up this morn dh and I drinking lovely big glasses of cold water to turn on the news to read the bloomin water is contaminated and we're not to drink it
Thankfully our water was turned off a few weeks ago and they sent us out loads of bottled water that we didn't use then

I know TA just haven't done as much as we planned this Easter and kids love to make you feel bad .

Ds helps out a lot and dd1 tries her best !

Don't know looked it up on the computer it says just keep boiling water until they say different apparently a problem at one of their treatment plants

TA - they are of course when you first have one, then you have 2 and realise 1 was easy, and struggle with 2, then you have more and look back and realise that 2 (ie 1 each) was a doddle...i think!
Those with more than 2 advise?!

She has been teaching for years and was the one who got me riding in the first place. Everyone needs lessons at times even if you are very experienced you just get a lesson from someone even more experienced iyswim? I really feel like i need some lessons now after breaking my leg it is very weak and i find i'm picking up bad habits by trying to over compensate for the weakness. If that makes any sense at all

Oh dear need some calming down .

MW just called and asked to do repeat bloods the hospital have found low level antibodies in my blood.

She rang hospital while here and the person said they don't know what it is they don't think it is serious but need to recheck and I will get result back on Friday when I have y scan and let e know if I need any further investigation .

Poor you! Definitely need to rest now. I'm sure it will all be fine, pregnancy is full of scares (i'm sure you know that better than most of us ) i will have my fingers crossed for you though

Thanks Alice I am sure it will be ok just never had anything like it in previous pgs.

Have posted in pg so maybe someone here will explain it better than my drippy mw did
