Wasting - happy anniversary! Hope you've had a lovely day out Are you leaving J with MIL/SIL when you go out tonight?

Alice I ike the idea of my own sticker chart. so i could give myself a sticker when jobs completed, or other people could give them when I have 10 tada - book a facial. As long as I don't have to plese an external awarding body ( sorry have been deep in educational jargon for the last 3 months). then we're ok

HMHB hope all goes well with childminder, and that you are feeling better.
JKS eek about shed roof, its tipping down with rain here so hope its not full of precious things.
MOTHS humph I think they have got super powers. Apparently they can smell stuff 20 miles away! a flock of sheep must be very confusing.

So for me

and chill out!

Hello! DS is snoozing in the buggy, I have to go get him up in a mo.
Had a lovely time in york, managed to miss all the rain. Went to Pizza Express and then looked at millions of trains.

Yes, MIL is coming round in a bit so we can leave the house together at the same time alone.

I've started giving myself a sticker on the calendar when I do the Shred DVD.

Right, got to get DS some tea together and then wake him up. Mardy bum time!

See you later!

Evening

I am still here. Things have eased off today, but managed to see the duty MW at the clinic who seems to think anytime within the next 10 days is a strong possibility!

Polish neighbour is painting our dining room this weekend. Said he would start friday 6pm ish. Turns up at 5pm this evening asking if he can start this evening at 6pm. My friend was over, was just about to dish up dinner for us and 3kids. Had to wolf down dinner then completely empty dining room in an hour. My friend is a star! She did most of it so going to make her a chocolate bomb tomorrow.
