Oh and HELLOOOOO TAF!! I saw you!!

bugger - was hoping to creep in incognito

I feel slightly sick - think maybe I need to eat.....but I usually feel sick if I eat in the mornings

Hi TAF .

Made it to work at 9.10am thanks everyone (dispite flat car battery - why o why today). DD snotty but ok. DS at breakfast club sucessfully. Lets see how the day pans out.

Right better do some work.

Yes alice, take it easy

Saw you taf!

Can't wait to see the cake plum, you've worked so hard on it.

Wish we were on hols here, dc didn't wake up til 8 this morning cue mad rush! Just relieved I didn't leave taking out the rest of dd's plaits til this morning like I was tempted to, she'd have gone to preschool half frizzy plaits and half mad furball As it is she has clean hair and neat (as neat as I can get them, need more practice)cornrows.

Think will do a traditional list today, may have to break it down into 3 things stylee if I start to stagnate later though.

Quick Poll
Do I resist temptation or do I remake the dc's beds with the new duvet covers? Was planning to have them for the bunkbeds so was all new and exciting but they won't be here for aaaages...

I swear ds is a freak of nature, all the trainset is in the drawer under his bed and rather than slide the drawer out to get to it he has just upended his bed Not sure how he did it, it's only a toddler bed but is heavy and he is quite tiny!

RESIST RESIST RESIST Keep it for all new I did that when ds & dd2s bunk beds came it was lovely!

Photos didn't upload[grrr] so trying again
30mins left

Waves to TAF, Have you any bizz to fill us in with ?????

Freak at DS!!!

I go for now with the new bedding, as a build-up to the new beds

Just whacked my elbow on the counter, really hard. It really hurts can you break an elbow??

Oh no conflicting answers! I need someone else to be the deciding vote. (If it makes a difference there are 2 new sets this that hasn't arrived yet and this )

JKS my dad broke his elbow whacking it on a fence whilst go-karting...elbows really hurt anyway though if you knock them so maybe wait and see how it is before rushing to A&E

wasting sorry!

Do you mean now, or wait til the beds arrive?
There are 2 covers of each set so they will have matching beddign

Freak I would wait, then it will be all new and exciting for them.

Wasting - don't worry about the 2lbs, it is most likely muscle. I find measuring is a more reliable indicator of progress than weighing.

Hello TAF I second Plum's wink, how is life treating you

JKS - ouch! Yes you can break them but I hope you haven't! Yay for DS1

Yes Alice take is easy please - although you are well into the safe zone now aren't you? Baby would hardly be prem if they suddenly decided to arrive
