Crikey! Where do the days go? We'll have a baby in the house instead of in my belly before we know it!

Have been really really busy, work has got crazy and it's odd having half a brain on work and the other half looking forward and planning and trying to get ready for the impending moment of 'turn our lives upside down and give it a good shake about'! I go on maternity leave in 5 weeks, I don't know how I'm going to get everything done at work before I go. Never mind about finishing the unpacking and getting the nursery decorated and set up!

What else have we been up to? Got thoroughly fed up with sitting on camp chairs and a computer chair since before Easter, and the armchair we thought we were getting fell through, so we had to go and buy a sofa. Which takes 5-7 weeks to make. And cost a bomb. Brilliant. Like my back doesn't ache enough without another 5 weeks of camp chairs! We probably could have spent several weekends tramping around London to find a sofa that a) we like and b) is in stock but frankly, I don't have the energy to do that at the moment. So, we wait 5-7 weeks and I go see my physiotherapist a bit more!

Saw Marie last weekend, and caught up with Iain, Cesca and Freddie at lunch on Sunday. We picked up the last few bits of furniture that Marie had been storing for us til we were ready, and I also managed to get into the town of Tunbridge Wells to buy some ginormo comfy sneakers for my now very big and fat feet (another pregnancy thing that no one tells you about!)

As of this afternoon we are now in dispute with our ex-landlords who have withheld almost 300 quid from our rental deposit bond (like we can afford that). I have informed them that we will be taking them to the equivalent of the small claims court if they don't cough up - we left the property in the condition it was moved into over two years ago, actually some rooms were in better condition. The landlord is totally taking the p*ss and basically using our money to redecorate his flat. I will not go quietly.

Random event of the week: for some bizarre reason I have started singing the chorus to Daryl Braithwaite's song 'The Horses', and have been trying to find the whole song on the internet with no luck - if anyone is sad enough to admit to owning any of his albums and can rip and email me the song I will love you forever. I'm getting tired of just singing the chorus! I blame pregnancy for this random bizarre behaviour (may as well use the excuse while I can!)

I have to work tomorrow (Saturday), it sounded like a good idea when I agreed to it a few weeks ago but now that it's here and I'm losing half my weekend I'm not so sure! Well, it's too late to change anything so I'll just have to go and give the training sessions and be done with it.

Hope life is good for you!
