Lent - day 11

So here goes:

1. Today Ziggy has been wriggling all day and it makes me smile (as do daffodils but not quite as much).
2. Today I actually learnt about pensions - a bit late I know but as they're changing them I finally thought I should work it out!
3. Today was lovely and sunny until about an hour before home time. I took advantage of the sun by going home at lunchtime to clean the kitchen and do all the dishes. That might not sound positive but it is because it means our kitchen looks less like a hygiene disaster zone!
4. Today 2 good things happened. Firstly I have admitted that I am not as unstoppable as usual which given that I'm now 32 weeks pregnant is a good thing. Being on my feet for most of the day has resulted in very swollen legs, ankles and feet. Perhaps it's time to admit defeat and take the next 8 weeks easy (or less if Ziggy makes an early appearance). The second cool thing was seeing a blue tit. I know that doesn't sound that exciting but they're my favourite and tiny birds like that are so perfect that they always fill me with wonder.
5. Today's one isn't hard. Scotland didn't get humped by England in the Calcutta Cup match. OK they did lose but not in the way everyone expected. Evans got an excellent try and Paterson (whom I love) did the most kick ass tackle ever to stop a try by less than a metre. Both sides got one try each, Scotland got a drop goal and the rest were penalties so not a result to be ashamed of.
6. Two good things today- A: Had a meeting with a really lovely committee Chair who is super keen to get things shaken up and moved into the 21st century! B: I am now going to the Big City on Friday to use sheer embarrassment to show some of our members that they cannot bully staff into breaking/bending rules just because they can't be arsed to follow them. They want someone to do a tedious and tiring job at their event so I - the 8 month pregnant person they like - am going to get up at 05:30 am to get their to do it for them and I will make sure that they know about it. They normally bully the facilities staff into doing what they demand but I think it's time someone stood up to them. That might not seem a positive thing but as I get no support from Senior Management I want to make sure that I stand up for other staff when I'm in a position to do so :)
7. Yesterday I got the train to another country that is attached to this one. It was lovely and sunny and all of the people that came to the meeting I was running were mostly nice to me! And I got to see my brother for a couple of hours :)
8. Today on the train back to this country I got all of the notes written up from last night's meeting - I feel efficient!
9. Tonight I learnt that I should be able to go to the midwife led unit for Ziggy's birth which is fab as it's way more chilled and it's what I was hoping for.
10. Today I got up at silly o'clock to get to the Big City to sort out those old blokes. I did what needed to be done then did some work then pootled home early as knackered. I then had a lovely lunch with MrT. Now to watch a film and chill out eating sweeties!
11. Lots of fun things today. MrT and I had a lazy start which ended up getting food planned and shopping done for the next 2 weeks. When MrT went off to work after lunch I went off for a craft shop run with my friend in the sunshine which was fun and got a few bits and bobs for Ziggy's arrival. Going out with my friend meant missing the rugby and my darling boys avoided being grannied for the whole of the 6 nations by winning! I'm now watching MrT's national side get humped :) We've also got a beef stew and some spag bol (-the spag at the mo) on the go to be split into portions and frozen so that we can eat properly for the first couple of weeks of Ziggy's life. AND it's sunny enough to have washing out and that's lovely!
