HMHB - looks like a nearly completed list there - just having a baby to do now

Jenduck - yes Essex seems like a great scheme. our only holdup might be that epilepsy is not normally classed as a disability so she had to talk her manager into believing that DS2 is currently 'disabled' in what he can do & what is needed to care for him.

PBM - the SN HV has already said that she would help me go through the form, i wanted to start it myself and see what areas i might need help with. but CAB is a good tip thanks - don't even know where they are, lol?!

CC it would be cheaper to go but a real pair

Wow plum amazing shoe cake. Loving the shoe box idea. It looks so real.

Still waiting for 'proper' contractions. Flame you might be first??

Phew!! Had a hectic afternoon and evening - dds were demanding so ironing didn't get done and then dh was annoyed that dinner wasn't ready when he got home from work as he wanted to eat before going out with friends

Morning all.

Have come to join you for the day, if thats alright (am too much of a slattern even to join in every day ). However my house is soo bad, I'm going to do a done list to begin with, because if I list everything that needs doing I am going to totally de-motivate myself and not get anything done (again!). So...

DONE
DS dressed and at school.
Me dressed.
Phoned daycare.
Tidied hall, stairs, landing.
Collect all dirty clothes together (I think, am sure I will find more as I tidy rooms properly)
One load of washing - now in dryer. Second load in washer.

NEXT JOB
One load of washing up.
Wait for man to come and repair leaky radiator.
