    Could you please wait until 26.06 to have little one, as I would not want to miss the occasion?

    Sorry Froggy but i'm ready to have the baby now! come out, come out baby :)

    Wouldn't it be nice to say I'll have it tomorrow at 8pm? :rotfl:

    I'll have a go at being informative to you about the nappies we got Cath :) Of course we haven't used them yet and a fair few people we know think we're crazy for buying them.

    The house is nice and tidy so my aim is to try and keep it this way as long as possible! :cool: I can dream :rotfl:The freezer is full of food, even so that I can't fit in a portion of lentil soup so I admit that I may have gone a little crazy with the cooking.....or perhaps I just need another freezer (and of course a larger house to fit it in) ;)

    It was such lovely weather on Sat that I spent most my time in the garden and so it's now nice and tidy too. Spent £40 in ikea on bits and bobs - not even what we went in for but all useful stuff at least.

    Tried to have a relaxing bath this morning only to have the doorbell ring *rolls eyes* Twas Mum popping in for a cuppa but she brought chocolate eclairs so all was forgiven :)

    I must go and do something useful now as its almost 2pm and a load of washing is all I've achieved!

    Got a mild telling off from DH yesterday for not doing much :o So today I have already done two loads of washing - what an achievement! :D

    He really dosent want to go to work atm and I'm thinking that he's worrying about getting back home should labour start etc. Not much we can do about that though.

    It's a glorious day here though so I'm going to play in the garden, dismantle the shoe rack and touch up the cotbed with a bit of paint as it got knocked in transit. I really should do May's financial spreadsheet but it seems such a shame to be indoors when it's nice.

    Thank you so much for keeping hold of them for me grateful. Big (hug) to say thanks.

    The hallway looks really large now without the shoe rack. May's finances are a bit scary to look at as the car payments came out and June's won't look much better as I've just paid the cc off. We've still got a float of about £500 so no worries there for a bit.

    As we haven't touched our regular saver yet I'm hopeful of being able to make a small OP this year. Even £500 would be great :)

    Midwife appointment this afternoon to check baby's position.

    Thought you might like to know that Littlebit had her baby. I saw on FB. I don't know any details yet, but i am sure she will be about when she gets chance.

    Morning :)

    Midwife appointment went well Radish. Baby is engaged and things could start anytime or in three weeks! :p They do like to be specific. :p Another appointment in two weeks and then we'll discuss things like a sweep and induction.

    I'm taking iron supplements as my blood test came back slightly anemic. Apparently I should have been called two weeks ago :cool:

    Thanks for letting me know Michelle :) I bet LittleBit is really happy. Would you let her know that I send my congratulations.

    Its good to hear from you Danny :D How are you finding married life? I look forward to seeing your diary again. :)

    I'm going to have the best dressed baby between grateful and Cath :D

    I'm feeling good, house is tidy and garden looks good - its like the calm before the storm :rotfl:
