Amazon frenzy

One advantage of being stuck in the grim north is the lack of any decent book and dvd shops. Because I save money? Nah - because it gives me the perfect excuse to go on an Amazon frenzy.

The first of my packages arrived yesterday. DO was horrified to find the first series of Baywatch fall out of the envelope. Some sides of people you only see when they move in.... I don't know what was more scary for him yesterday: that surprise revelation about my viewing habits, or the fact that I announced I wanted gingham curtains in the bedroom, or my joke that my waters had broken.

I'm going to be watching the series quicker than I thought. The midwife came today and said that my blood pressure was high. To DO's delight she prescribed lots of REST. A true four letter word for me.

I don't want to rest - my hormones are going wild and all I want to do is that other four letter word beginning with f. That's right - I want to FILE all day. Organisational genes are in a frenzy and I have already created three household folders containing neatly arranged information on babies and sections for car, council tax etc. I even have created a lever arch folder of tourist leaflets, organised by county.

I obviously don't have enough babygros to fold and unfold.
