Happy New year 2010

• This year i plan on making my lottie really good
• losing all this horrid extra weight
• making some money
• go abroad with the children

I have been up the allotment last week and tidied the shed, this week i have been burning things and next week i shall be digging over hopefully!

Bugger it!

havent been able to get the allotment for a month to do any strimming or weeding. so the plot is an overgrown mess. So dissapointed with myself for letting it get bad. I have so much weeding to do and i lost all my brassicas just a bit miffed with myself.

I am now 29 weeks pregnant, baby was 3lb 12oz at 28weeks and 2 days. the hospital have agreed to let me have a waterbirth after VBAC but by the looks of it my baby will be too big and the risk too great. Just have to see how things go. I had a 3D scan done at 28 weeks

We are in the middle of decorating our bedroom - i say we but poor Jamie has had to do it all. I can do the painting part though....

will add pictures of everything later

2nd Earlies in and signs of life!!!!

Woo hoo, on Good Friday we got our 2nd Earlies in - Kestrel, the allotment was really busy too with everyone doing the same thing. Today I saw that i have pea shoots, carrot shoots and parsnips coming through I am so excited!!!

Will post new pics as soon as the weather cheers up a bit

Potatoes are in!

Well, we planted our Charlottes and our Red Duke of York this morning, we are planting Kestrels on Good Friday if its nice. And in a few weeks we will plant our mains.


Also got my 12 week scan tomorrow, i'm a bit nervous, i hope everything is ok in there!!

Putting things into perspective

This week has been a very long week of stress. Last Saturday we opened the post to find that our daughter hadn't been offered a primary school of our preference and was offered the a really awful school instead. Saturday also brought news that my FIL's 2nd tumour had come back with cancer cells, and that they will need to go and remove the shell that they had left in his last op. He is still recovering from his last op which was at the beginning of march! Monday brought me more misery when i telephoned School Admissions they told me there wasn't a lot i could do about it! We are appealing and we hope we get one of our preference schools. I was also told by Midwife that I needed to go back to the diabetic clinic the next day because of previous gestational diabetes. I am 11 Weeks. There is no way i have it yet. And they wont even do a GTT on me. Tuesday I was at diabetic clinic getting my blood machine and still arguing the toss. Wednesday was all rain and wind so couldn't plant my salad and 1st Earlie's out. Thursday i went to my WW class and i lost 1.5lbs whoop whoop. Thursday afternoon i got a parking ticket!!! Friday we were up Chelsea & Westminster hospital speaking to Rose's consultants about the inherited cholesterol. They were talking about gene testing, she had more bloods done. The doctor said he would help with the appeal letter.

And today? lots of bloody rain, wind and hail stones! So I cant do anything over the lottie which really helps me de-stress. To make matters worse lots of women on a forum i have joined have had their 12 week scans to find that their baby's have died, this is my greatest fear, i am dreading my scan on 6th April. I can only hope that we have been spared that anguish and that our little bean is safe and well.

Planting has begun!

I have just planted out, calabrese, cabbage, cauliflower and beetroot. Going to go back after lunch to sow some parsnip seeds. Very exciting stuff!! Will take pics later.


I also planted out peas, parsnips, carrots...
