Earlier this evening I got a text from my friend. Pregnant with her second child, she texted me to say she wouldn't be around tomorrow, when I planned to visit for coffee, as she expected to be in hospital shortly. She's been in labour since 1am, and I quote "can't believe I forgot how bad this was"

Good luck Lou, I look forward to meeting your baby daughter (or if the scan was wrong, boy dressed in pink)

Work is going good had a bad day Tuesday when I and the electricians were told to get out of a tenants f...ing property. He accused us of wrecking his house, we haven't even started work as the property was piled high with crap, stinky nappies and god knows what else. Like bloody shameless!!!!! At the other end of the scale I really feel for tenants who have decorated houses which are now being rewired.

Dad is doing well, consultant appointment in 10 days so we see what is happening from then. I am feeling much brighter, although I have just blubbed through "mummy diaries" on channel 4

OH! and I have the day of for the Manchester blog meet China if you want to come, PM me
