It's good to see you around.

I hope everything is going well and as expected.

Hi Evangeline, I'm really sorry to have missed this post - I've had a really bad cold that was very hard to shake off and so haven't been online much, but I'm much better now. Thanks for taking an interest.
Everything's going fine - we seem to be on track as far as getting ready for the baby is concerned. The baby's growing fine and though I have been getting some pelvic pain, I've been having treatment (cupping and acupuncture) at the hospital which really helps.

I hope things are going well for you at the moment, and that you had a good Christmas and New Year.

Hi Candi,

I hope the cold is gone.

I'm very happy to hear the baby is growing well and you've had suitable treatments for the pain and discomfort.

Been busy, but everything is ok. My job description changed, again. Now it's Office Mgr. followed by all the other stuff. That took some getting used to with the millions of bits of paperwork. Done some writing, some of which has been in . Longer projects are still in progress.

The holidays went well, thank you. Did you have a nice festive season?

Hi Evangeline,

My cold lingered but has now finally gone, thankfully.

We had a nice quiet, lazy Christmas, New Year was extra subdued due to the cold, but still enjoyed it.

I hope being office manager suits you - I'm sure you're very efficient!

Glad you've been writing - I'd be interested to see your pieces. Could you give me links?

*locks the door so the cold can't sneak back in*

I'm glad you're feeling better.

The office stuff would be a lot better if it didn't involve filing and phones and paperwork. A couple of people have offered to set fire to the paperwork before my in box collapses under the sheer weight of the paper. Instead of an assistant, I was given two other trays('invoices' and 'to file') and a crate ('pending projects'). Ah well, it keeps me busy.

Here are a few links to stuff I have submitted to : The Caped Confuzzler A14423438 Halloween Story A16336875 Christmas Story A18313986

What is it, a little over a month to go until the happy event?

Thanks for the links - I've started on 'The Caped Confuzzler' just finished part 4 - great fun!
It may take a while to read everything as I find reading from a screen only works for me in short bursts, but I'm really keen to read more.

At least working as office manager I expect you're less exposed to customers' baffling requests, not to mention all the cold/flu infections they bring in....

Yes, about 5 weeks till my 'due date' - we're both getting quite excited and nervous now.
I'm on the raspberry leaf now, and spending at least an hour a day leaning forward in an all fours type position to get the baby to turn the right way for birth!

No need to rush with the reading. We're still writing the Caped Confuzzler (and other stuff).

I do try to hide in the office, under the desk if possible. Did I mention the lady who thought the soap chip was an appetizer? It's all in that book I'm writing. Coughs, colds and strep throat have been going around the last month or so.

*checks calendar* Any minute now... *paces* Raspberry tea is good. Do you have the Traditional Medicinals teas, there?

...sorry, Evangeline - I've left you pacing for 5 weeks... but now the wait is over: Please check my journal for birth announcement! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F80705?thread=3593593&post=47150529#p47150529 I probably won't be posting again for a while as I have my hands full now, but I'll try to drop in from time to time...

*stops pacing*

Have read and replied to your journal.

If emailing is easier, I still use the familiar emails.
