Quiche freezes well too - I usually make two at a time, although I find hubby takes this to work as snacks so it doesn't usually get to be another meal. Cottage pie is another good one to freeze too- either as full pies or to save space - just the base, defrost and add mash (usually after a roast meal the night before when I make too much mash to use on the pie )
Also a fav of hubbies is steak pie - I usually make a vat of the base in the slow cooker and freeze in portions. Then just defrost and add ready made puff pastry. And if all else fails - shove some dough in the bread maker and get OH to make pizza

There's a note on my scan from yesterday that says my placenta is anterior - which means front, I believe. That means I won't feel kicks as soon, right?

I too have an AP. I've felt some kicks already, but in general just feel "movement" still. But by palpating my belly, my OH can work out exactly where the Bean is, and can feel a good deal of movement

My plan is too stock up the freezer throughout July (OMG - thats next week :eek:)

Which means that next week I will be able to say I'm due THIS month! :eek:

My body is definitely preparing - I am getting loads of Braxton Hicks and I've been craving things with calcium in which I think is because it is a natural painkiller.

I bought some calcium tablets yesterday from the health food shop but they were about £8 for 60 and i need to take 8 a day, so my plan of taking them from now is over! I can;t afford that many tablets so will have to try and judge when I might go into labour and start the week before!

I'm totally out of sync with my MW and Gp apps now and have no idea when I should go and see anyone next. I also seem to have lost my list Does anyone have the list from NICE of when you see which person? I know I posted it once on another thread but I can;t find it.

I just saw on Martin's email that Sainsburys have a 1/3 off baby stuff (except clothes and formula) for one week from today.

thanks all - I just remember having read stuff that if your placenta lies towards the front, you may not feel kicks 'til later b/c you only feel kicks when they bump something else (i.e., you don't techically feel 'kicks' - you feel the consequences!).

I gpot some great white trousers from here http://www.yummymummymaternity.co.uk/white-linen-band-maternity-trousers-regular-or-long-leg-1630-p.asp and while they are not cheap, they are great and no knickers showing.

They also have fab customer service, and I found a discount code in the back of a preggy magazine which helped with the cost. They wash and iron beautifully and are really lovely.QUOTE]

Thanks Skinty - I remember you looking for them (in a rush I think?). Will check them out later.

Off to actually do something now. The decorators left ages ago, and I am still sitting in my bedroom!! Must get moving. Catch you all later. x

Fitzio - yes I was in a rush and they were great! I ordered the 12s and they were too big so they rushed me the 10s without making me pay for them as they knew I'd be sending the others back, and even made a special trip to the PO for me to ensure they arrived on time. They were great and I can;t recommend them enough.
