Midwife, MAT B1, & Mat Leave

Oooo! Feeling organised today! Had my 25 week midwife apt today (a week & a day early for a change coz of Christmas). Smudge is fine! Had a good listen to the heart beat. My BP seems to be back to normal too. I also picked up my MAT B1 form (late coz I was at RLI for my last apt, not the with the middy) sooooo that meant I could officially tell work - as if they dont all already know - and book my mat leave! I am working until Fri 30th March, and returning the first week of 2013. That sounds so far away at the moment! 2013....

From now on I'm being seen every 2 weeks!!! I cant believe we've got to this stage already! 16 weeks to go IF I'm allowed to go full term!

Meantime though my boys are sick. Jack spent 2 nights in bed with us over the weekend - totally unheard of! He was sick Sunday night as well which freaked him out. Tom was sick tonight too but seems to have got over it quicker, and since Jack is on the mend I'm hoping both will be ok by Christmas Eve.

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
