I'm having a wonderful productive, doing stuff around the house whilst J is in nursery day - as DH and I have both realised that shiiiiiiiiiiit all of the DIY jobs around the house we've been being lazy about will need to be done by October or will be on hold for another year at least!

So, so far I have been measuring up for the shelving unit we need built in the lounge, tidying the office so my new (to me) desk has room to be delivered later this week, finding carpenters, stove installers and arranging the delivery of our woodburner. (Any idea where to store a 150kg wood burner until it can be installed? It'll plummet through the floorboards won't it if I try to store it in the house - think it might need to stay on the concrete floored out house until we install it)

Next I have to ring all of these buggers and get quotes.

And we then need to start stripping wallpaper (I bet we end up living in a stripped room for weeks!!!). And I'm suuuuuuuure I'll change my mind about all of the colours that I've decided on for months.

Unfortunately we were hoping to get started stripping (stop giggling) this weekend but DH is helping my sister move house as her ExH despite promising to move her and the kids stuff, is being an emotional blackmailing dramatic arse and wanting the moon on a stick for helping her so she's told him to forget it.

If I have time I plan to go out and do a bit of weeding / pruning in the garden. But I bet I run out of steam before then. However I do seem to combine pregnancy nesting hormones with house renovations quite well in all of my pregnancies so I'm quite excited. Fingers crossed I can stay active in this one. It's the only way we get anything done around the house!!!!!!

PR you sound positively perky

PP twatting phone !

DD2 went into nursery this morning and said Mummy used to be in prison but now she does drugs. Great . Then Mummy was in for longer than Daddy. Hmm.

I would go for the bigger one if you have space because you can do a big ham, chicken, pork shoulder, etc. in it.

Ha that is classic vq

Yes, something has lifted my spirits. Can't think what :)

I've reserved a 6.5L one to pick up tomorrow. If it's good I may take it to Turkey with us in May, we take turns to cook dinner with the ILs and they are looking forward to my beef stew and dumplings. As it's only FIL, MIL and SIL this time we will be able to afford to eat out more often but not every night.

yw Have you made your appointment to book in yet?

I'm fine lily my phone autocorrected pr to problem

how about a story session, most nursery rhymes work as poetry too so you could just read? then keep your eyes peeled for some twat one like me who could lead the singing

Apple unless you have a hell of a baggage allowance you might struggle bringing it on a plane to Turkey - they are mucho heavy! You'll facepalm when you get it .

I book in next Monday! I could have done it anytime (unlike on the island where I had to wait until 8 weeks) but the MW is only there on Mondays and today was booked up. Please ladies of Fife, let's not be having a baby boom in September / October time . The hospital is only a five minute walk from my house and I'm gonna be bagsying the birth pool . Oh yeah.....

We have 23kg baggage allowance each so it might be ok. Will have to see how heavy it is and what else we are taking with us. I have read about other people taking them abroad though.

Hope it's not too heavy for me to carry back to the car? I will be going in town on my own with C and will struggle if it is.

I'd say they are usually a good few kg. Check out the argos product description it should list it.

Hmm.. doesn't seem to say. Perhaps if I'm really nice to DP he will come with me before he starts work. Or I could leave C with my dad for an hour.

VQ You should loan her out to prospective parents . Bet your nursery workers are having a good giggle though!

Need to ask a dumb question! Figured someone on here might know!

I've had water damage to my sink unit ever since I moved in stupid knobhead who fitted the kitchen so badly before selling grrrr. I'm going to replace the unit, plus door, and sink. Does anyone know anything about kitchens, and know if I can do this without removing the sideboard? Or if I need to remove it, is this something easily done?!

Bear in mind. All work is likely to be done by me.

YW there's always a baby boom at that time of year. Chuffin' christmas making people shag. GRR! You'll be fine with the pool. In 10 years, I've known one occasion where someone who rang up in labour wanted the pool, and someone else was in that room. All ended well though! By the time they came in, the other one had given birth. Quick shufty of rooms around, clean up, and sorted! So job was a goodun anyway! Oh, and lots of units have more than one pool now. :)

Is the sink the last unit in the kitchen? If so than it should be screwed on the wall and you will need to lift the workspace to remove it. That should be screwed as well from underneath. That's how my kitchen was when I put in the dishwasher.

On season 5 of dexter now. Not sure I like this, it will be hard to top trinity.

Lily nothing tops Trinity, but it is still worth watching.

Forgotten everything I just read. Sorry.

The Trinity series was amazing - best season of any show ever (except maybe Sopranos). I still havn't watched the final season of Dexter. Missed it when it was on here will need to look out for daytime repeats.

Trinity season

Didn't the Trinity bloke get an Emmy or something for his character?

Lily season 5 of Dexter was good although Lumen was a bit of an odd character. Season 6 started out gruesome and just got better and better, Colin Hanks was particularly good in it. I miss Dexter now it's finished.

Trinity scared the shit out of me but he was such a good character.

He was a brilliant actor.

This thread needs to be killed.

Just saying.

I want to be a serial thread killer

Where is everyone?
