Just waiting

I'm just waiting for the guys from our House Group to arrive and Dave to get back from Sheffield so I thought I'd kill some time and give you all an update.

Yesterday I took Andrew and his friend Anna to their swimming lesson. It's so good for him - as his water confidence was a bit low and this is improving it loads. Thankfully, Harry minded Rachael for me so I didn't have to keep three of them occupied (Thanks, Harry and Ashleigh) Actually, Julie Anne had Rachael all morning too so I had a real easy day yesterday.

Gorgeous day today - as it has been for ages. Andy was at school this morning so Rachael and I went to the Ark Farm with our mothers and toddlers group. The website isn't working at the moment but they are updating it and were taking pictures today so check it out sometime and Rach and I may be starring in it! This afternoon we just hung out in the garden until it got too hot and then Rachael and I had a wee doze on the sofa - Ooops! Still, I'm allowed, I'm growing another human being and it's hard work!

Tomorrow, I've got another few mystery shops to so. I'm trying to get a bit more "work from home" work because, as I'm registered self employed, if I can keep my earnings over £100 per month, I can claim Maternity Allowance for 9 months after the baby is born - that will be about £110 a week so it's worth putting the effort in now. Means I can't do any of my mystery shopping stuff during those nine months but I think I'll manage :)

Got some bread in the breadmaker just now. Have to confess, this is only the 3rd loaf I've made but I figure if I make it now, it will be cooled and ready to cut for toast in the morning. Every other time it's been too fresh and I've just been hacking big lumps out of it.

I think i better go a put the kettle on now coz my visitors are arriving. Hope you are all well. xx
