Maybe I'll venture over and have another look! I do try to batch cook, but I find we start off well but then use it throughout the month. This isn't a problem at the mo, but will have to make sure I get the freezer stocked up before bubs arrives. I am succeeding at keeping onto of the ironing. I only have two things in my basket :j

I've just had a lovely welcome PM from Quillion with some more info!

I need to clear out freezer, I found some meat in there that looks dreadful and I wouldn't eat it. OH now thinks MSE is wonderful because of all this money and time saving stuff I'm finding out!!

Sugar - what a beautiful baby girl, ditto glamazon I'd love to hear your birth story.. spare no gore xxxxxx

Glam - the above post was the first one I saw this morning when I opened this thread....I thought you had had your baby too for a second!!!!! :eek: Had to then go back and check if you had posted and it referred to something else! Ha ha.

Just back from a long lunch with a friend. Still no word from Mrs Tine? Things must be happening! Come on Krystal & Candice!!!

The flylady thread scares me too. It looks like a lot, but maybe I am just not reading it correctly! I also think it is maybe easier if you are at home all day, but I don't want to think about housework every night when I get home from work.
I do try to meal plan though, and I got a slow cooker for a wedding present (although haven't been brave enough to use it yet!).

OMG - yea can see how you thought that! 18 weeks early, not even viable and a girl! Good God. I've got my legs firmly crossed - no babies escaping anytime soon!!

Right I'm off with Flylady list in hand - going to get home and maybe get on with something or continue my to do list for the weekend!

I'm going to become very MSE now - batch cooking, meal planning, order groceries online, buy meat from butcher and veg from grocer. Flylady thread to keep on top of housework and this weekend I WILL get some of OH's stuff listed on eBay.

I had a nice morning in John Lewis putting together the list of new stuff for baby and arranging a delivery date for a month before my due date. Apparently I can bring this forward if I need to if I give a week's notice. I'm assuming if I do give birth before 36 weeks, baby and I will be in hospital for at least a week.

I've gone for the Bugaboo Bee in the end, with the maxi cosi car seat. The BT150 baby alarm, and Avent Electric pump, express steamer, and bottles, some bedding, changing mat and the rio rocker as my extravagance (http://shop.babyworld.co.uk/DisplayDetail.aspx?prodid=1655)

Still have the moses basket and stand from last time round, and some newborn baby clothes. Nappies, muslins, etc are on order from the nappy lady. Think that should be enough to get us started, unless I've forgotten something obvious. We won't buy the cot until after baby arrives, as we've always used the moses basket only for the first few months with the other two.

Feels slightly weird to be all sorted at only 21 weeks but as I'm getting tired, big and sore now, I'm glad I've got all the walking and hard work choosing over with, as I feel things are only going to get worse!

Not after my elective c section it wasn't. Tbh its far easier (and therefore can be attempted much sooner) after a csection than a natural delivery!

I had quite a few problems after my last section nicki, thats why I am not holding my breath for this one to be much easier !!
I dont heal very well very quickly, so if I allow myself 6 weeks then I wont be disappointed
