    I really, really want some red and green tartan cotton ... I have no idea what I would do with it - drape it somewhere maybe ...

    And I want to bake a cake. DH and I don't really eat cake - but maybe he could take it to work tomorrow?

    And the papers - but they really do need to get done. so I don't think that's silly - I've been making progress there, and I've been putting it off for months.

    Right now though, I'm deciding whether I'm going to chop up some pineapple or mango to eat with some cream. lunch!

    if your DH doesn't want to take the cake to work, i'd be happy to take it off your hands

    i haven't really had any urges this time - other than tidying the linen cupboard (which was strange for me!).

    last time though i HAD to bake...almost every day. now, i do like to bake but this was out of control! and donuts - i HAD to make donuts & did, quite a few times. DP was putting on weight at an alarming rate.

    I had to clean the car inside and out, I did it on my first day of leave yesterday it had been bugging me for ages. Normally it gets cleaned about every six months

    I keep buying washing liquid and cling wrap don't ask me why

    And I have an urge to plant flowers but I'm restraining myself as my brown thumb makes it an expensive task. Generally anything outside I'm happy to handball to DH

    Haha! This thread is hilarious!

    I had to keep the house spotless and all the jobs needed to be up-to-date so that when bubs came there was no backlog. It got to the point where I was doing a load of washing every day (and lets face it, not much was in it with just two adults in the house), including ironing the one or two tops used each day. I hate ironing. I don't actually think I've done it since DD was born. I've handballed the job to DH. Things had to be so up-to-date that even when labour started (and it was only quick) I was cleaning the kitchen and doing washing just to keep up-to-date....

    LOL Chody, I am still obsessed with being 'up to date'. I actually have been using the term backlog a lot lately. Oh no! lol.

    My nesting urges were pretty normal. Normal for nesting anyway. I just *had* to do the 6 months worth of filing bills and papers that had built up. (Thank goodness I did, I now haven't filed since DS was born 10 months ago!! Hellooo Mt Filemore.)
    I just *had* to rearrange the lounge. Several times.
    I just *had* to bleach the showers. (with a shirt tied around my face like some kind of renegade motorcyclist to avoid the fumes )
    I became tempted to move house. I think that one was the most hilarious.

    Ahh nesting. Good times!
