    Throwing it down with rain here too :( I moved into a new house in October and have done quite a bit of planting to the front - a new hedge has gone in and trees at the bottom of the back garden for privacy, so all this rain is saying the water meter at least :)

    April - Yes I will definitely be having the sweeps, funny how I haven't been offered one in my previous pregnancies given that all three were late and two had to be induced - maybe you have to ask for them? The consultant told me that they are great and that it worked for her, but its no good if you have a kind midwife, you need a mean one she said :eek:

    Off to have my hair done this morning which should mean its ok until baby is about a month old, so looking forward to that. Also met up with two work colleagues for tea last night and they bought me the most generous gift, a large pale pink type canvas storage tub absolutely full of baby things - nappies, sleeping bag, hooded robe, about 3 outfits, shoes, toiletries - I was really blown away by their generosity

    I'm taking the non-shedding dog to be groomed today, pretty short so hopefully she'll now do until after bean arrival although I always leave her too long anyway. Sod the people (husband, MIL) who like her 'scruffy', they don't brush the matts out and I'm going to have other things to do with my time.

    First time the other dog has been left alone since she arrived here though. So that may be 'interesting' and I had best put all shoes away or they'll be in her bed....

    Not a bad night's sleep but, with dog timing collection a bit up in the air, have said I won't be going to the meeting as part of the volunteering at the school. So i'll do some reading/ question writing ready for antenatal class tomorrow and midwife on tues (since we're doing my birth preferences, hopefully)

    Ha, yes one of the girls in my NCT group was a bit miffed that a student midwife did her sweep as didn't feel it did much at all, whereas another girl had an old-school midwife who got stuck in and said she got her hand right behind baby's head :eek: I'm booked in for one next Wednesday if needed.

    Just been out for breakfast with an ex colleague who was on her way home from a night shift, was lovely to have a catch up and pancakes & bacon were so delicious I could eat them again. Have been eating so much the last week or so, I think it's tiredness.

    Can someone on a computer repost the lists? I'm losing track with due dates? Is yours this weekend penguingirl? And april87 yours is the end of the month...?

    Last full week of work for me next week! Sitting in stool in Pret at the moment with horrid mid-backache on both sides though :( hoping it'll disappear when I'm back in my desk chair in 15 minutes...

    Spending the weekend with DH's cousin who has a 4-month-old. Can't believe how much he appears to have changed in the last 3 months going from photos. Must remember when mine arrives to treasure the early days!
    Cleared my credit card debt of £7123.58 in a year using YNAB! Debt free date 04/12/2015.
    Enjoying sending hundreds of pounds a month to savings rather than debt repayment!

    There you go - with quotes and an addition at the bottom. :)

    Seeing the consultant in early June though as expect to be dragged in for an earlier extraction - this one is coming out through the sunroof again - hopefully not under GA this time, but expecting the worst! :D Curse mutant genes...

    Oh Hey Fuzzipeg, I'm finally not last on the list any more. On EDD at least, sounds like you'll be holding your little one rather sooner in reality
