    Morning all....

    I've got a pretty chilled day today! Got to pick LO up from his dad's at 10.30 and fetch some milk but other than that, it's a day to potter around the house and get the washing and cleaning done! LO is supposed to be going to his nannas this afternoon for a few hours but nothing set in stone!

    This weekend has flown over.....

    Morning all.

    It's my son's 13th birthday today and my sister's 50th. Off out for a meal later on, hubby said he'd be home by 12. We shall see.

    Went to friends over the weekend on the mainland as it was their birthdays, came home yesterday, walked in at 520, was out the door ten minutes later for body pump, only two of us showed up which was a shame but he worked us both hard.

We have been playing on the wii together and now I'm watching a film and he is in my bedroom watching a dvd. Had pasta for lunch but don't know what to have for tea. I don't like to have anything too heavy the day before weigh in.

    OH is working again so we will hopefully get to the gym later. Just watched the latest episode of GoT, very good again, great ending that we wanted to the episode :)

    Productive-ish day but also don't seem to have done much with the weekend as a whole. Had to go to OH dad's as he'd booked flights to LA, so he could take the opportunity to have a holiday and see some people, as well as take in our wedding. He needed to change the dates but was told he couldn't do anything so I was like right, that's incorrect lets get over there and if needs be I'll get on the phone. In the end they did it for him but I think it was more cos he spoke to someone else than anything. Its costing another £400, but better than losing the cost f the flights and also he would have been out for 3 weeks, which he can't do now due to circumstances of an elderly neighbour and their health.

    We went out for a meal st lunchtime, still totally stuffed from it. Caught up on The Five, but towards the end I had a dodgy tummy and had to keep running to the toilet. I'm hoping it is settling now. Catching up on laundry as well. Last load in the drier now. Looking forward to bed,

    Evening all

    We went to my mum and dads for an hour this morning then OH surprised me by getting his mum and dad to have LO for a couple of hours and took me out for dinner.

    Got back to in laws and LO was laid on the settee. OH felt him and he was hot to touch. We did his temp at it was over 40 so called 111 after giving him calpol and they told us to go straight to the wall in centre. After sitting there for an hour we finally got seen and his tonsils are inflamed and his left ear is red. We've just got to keep an eye on him and make sure he drinks plenty of fluids.

    LO now playing happily and has just had some medicine. Early night for us all

    Nope no news yet. We had two more babies from the antenatal class today. One poor girl started contractions on Friday night, and after two sleepless nights went into hospital so she could have pain relief, but even this morning was still stuck in early labour. She would have been induced tomorrow had labour not started, she would have been 13 days over. Ultimately she had a c-section, and apparently the reason she never got beyond early labour was that the baby was too big to go through the pelvis. It was 7 lb 4 so not huge, but she is very petite. I could have fun there, I'm 5'2'', and people talk about shoe size being linked to pelvis size (I'm size 4). We'll just have to see what happens. I haven't heard anything about the other birth today, only that it's a boy and three days late. There's two of us left in the class to give birth. I'm now 9 days over, and the other girl is due Friday. I'll be induced on Friday if nothing happens. I had attempts at a stretch and sweep on Thursday and Saturday, Thursday the cervix was too tightly closed to get anywhere at all, Saturday the midwife managed to get a fingertip in so a slight improvement. We've got another try tomorrow which is a home visit, then an appointment on Thursday with my midwife at the surgery if nothing has happened. I'm hoping that even if the sweeps don't bring labour on they might at least start the cervix softening enough that induction works. There has been a little bit of mucus like discharge which makes me think things might slowly be going in the right direction. I've pretty much resigned myself to being induced though. I really want to avoid a c-section, as I want to have the whole experience of birth, and I really don't like the idea of a c-section, but I think if the first induction attempt doesn't work I might well call it a day and say get him out.

    It's been quite a quiet weekend by and large. We had choir tonight, only a small turn-out due to the bank holiday but we got some good work done. We've started working on a gospel version of the Hallelujah Chorus (from Handel's Messiah). It looks like it's going to be brilliant fun, although I know the original really well so I have to put it totally out of my head.

    Yes it was the one in the mailbox. But they only had 2 seats left on the very front row so didn't go in the end. I have heard a lot about it but never been. The new one at r3s0rts w0rld is nice. You get a lot of leg room and the chairs don't spring back up.

    Morning all

    Had a good sleep last night but got up to a mess as nothing in the kitchen was cleaned away and I had left the school uniform til the morning to iron. My own fault.

    Question, how many of you reboil boiled water. I've not done it, and we advise women not to use water that has been boiled for more than 30mins and also to change the water. I tried explaining this to hubby this morning, but he got shirty again with me after he'd 'apologised' the other night for being a Richard, and guess who was here? His son!

    Yep in the kettle, after hubby made the cuppas this morning as I did not have time, he refilled it, I said that there should have been enough in there for the cuppas, he said yes there was but I'm filling it for the next person, that's when I tried explaining that the next person would be me and I'd only be making one so will mean reboiling what is left unless I tip it out and waste it. He could not understand that I will only need enough for my cup in there.

    Ahhh that'll be good, he'll enjoy that.

    I might sit in the garden if the sun does not go in. Got the housework to do first though.

    There is a new bin system going on here starting this week. We all get either a black wheelie bin or a gull proof bag (black and green), no rubbish bags are to be left on the road and will not be collected. We don't have our black bin yet so this week if we have not got it then it will be rubbish on the street, it does not bother me at all about the new system, but jeez peeps are moaning left right and centre about it. They moan the bins are too small, (you can get bigger if you have a certain amount of people in the house or children in nappies), apparently yesterday people had tags left on their bins if they had unwashed stuff or or if they had mixed in. I guess we've all become lazy as when the recycling thing came in we were meant to wash out food stuff, so I've explained to the household that from now on they need to think about what they are putting in what bin and not mix it. We are also getting a black box which sits in the green bin for card and paper, even though apparently this all gets put into the same part of the Lorry so why? Some people cannot handle change, as soon as there was talk about this is happening they moaned, yet they'd also be the ones moaning about bins on the street being ripped open by cats/foxes etc. Cannot win with some.

    I don't refill the kettle every time I use it but at the same time I don't always fill it to the brim as uses more energy than is needed so quite often it will run out several times a day.

    So jealous of you Flossie. Monkey World is one of my most favourite places to go and visit but I didn't get a chance to go last year and not sure I will this year :(

    Month end reporting today in work. Really hope they don't take ages to do...

    Exactly Susan. They moan, then they get used to it and before long they just do it.

    Flossie, hope you had a good weekend.

    And yep, fresh boiled water is tastier and also as Emily says, why waste energy boiling a full kettle when you only need a small bit.

    I'm getting hungry but also need to hoover up and a few bits of housework.
