been to the hospital today to check on baby as i havent had as much movement as i normally do! so have had a bit of a worried day..they did a trace and baby looks like its fine in there but i have to keep a eye on the movements and see how they are.
Tomorrow the girls are going to my mums for the day and to stay the night - so i can have a rest and do anything that i need to before baby. So not sure if me and dh might go out for a meal or something - even though he has the right hump tonight!! so might be spending some money again this weekend!!GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr.

glad all was well hun, I know how worrying it can be realising that you don't remember feeling movement for a while. Glad that I never have to go through the stress of pregnancy again to be honest!
Try to take it easy tomorrow too and get some rest if you can.Following :money: to keep us debt free :j0 -
hello well baby has been moving a litlle more over the weekend so thats good news!!
My mum had the girls so me and dh had some time to urself - we ended up going shopping as i thoughtwe got a new pushchaire which is sooo easy to push and is suitable from brth so will be abl to use it right away - i wanted one that was light and easy to push. It was £160 but got a free changer bag and liner, footmuff and head huger, its really easy to put up and down etc so im happy with it all.....even if i was spending money!!!
We also had to get a new sky remote as it died after the trip in the fish tank! we got the one which wasnt made by sky but looks the same and was less then half price! also some more packs of the pampers wipes - 6 packs for £3.66! will keep us going a while...
ok as for the list of things to do:
* Wash baby clothes
* Wash bedding
* Wash dressing gown and [strike]old bedding [/strike](to use for home birth then chuck if need be!!)
* Order crib matress!!
* Buy [strike]shower curtains [/strike]and lamp for the hb! (mum spotted some reduced in asda so got them for me - so we got them for free)
* PACK LABOUR BAG!!!
* wash pushchaire and carseat (still havent done!)
* wash the cozy toes bits for pushchaire - will still do all this incase i need a travel system for some times!!
So i havent done much!! better get to it!!GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0 -
Just caught up with your diary, glad to hear everything is good on the baby front!!!!!
you have a lot of washing to do mummy (i am sending you good weather thoughts so you can dry it all outside, nothing like the smell of baby and fresh air on clothes!!)December 2018: £20,850.24. Now: £18,333.02 Total paid in 2019: £2517.22

thank you 1hannah i need that kind of kick!! I have washed all the newborn clothes (two loads of washing so it def has lots of clothes!!) so it now has things to wear!!
I have also sorted everything i need to pack but its all on top of the bag - so getting there and if anything happened i could pop it all in! Will try and sort it today
Think we need to get a new car seat as i dont think ours will fit in our car!!:mad: we also have leather seats so really need a isofix one as then it doesnt slip on he seat!!! last night mil was talking to dh and saying if we wanted a double pushchaire they would get us one, so maybe they will give us a bit towards the car seat instead....the lady who said she would gve us the double said she is bringing it to the school today so will be handy if we can have it for the odd occasion we might need it...
I had a email saying payment was coming from amazon - but i didnt know i had sold anything!! I do not remember getting a email saying it had sold!! have sent a email saying sorry i can send it today or give a refund so i hope he will let me send it today!Extra £5 coming into the account - aslong as i dont have to reund......
Today i am going to have to sort some more from the list and also do some more cleaning!! dont want a home birth with this mess!!!lolGC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr.
