I'm back, feeling less grumpy than this morning.
Went to Matalan after work, looking for baby stuff in the sale. Nothing doing. No bedding, which is what i was after. So actually left without buying anything, which is a first for me.
Oh no OH has just opened the boxes from Argos with the flatpack draws and wardrobe and has said its going to be a nightmare. Why can't he leave it until tomorrow? Don't want to be here while he does DIY.
Really want to go see new Harry Potter film, can't take DS, he's only 5 and i think it;ll be a little bit too old and dark for him now. Best mate not into it. OH only seen one of the films. May have to be sad and go on my own. Mind u, time to myself, Hot dog and Hagan Daz ice cream, plus bif full fat coke. Could actually be heaven,;)0 -
Thank you! Yes i have seen it
I remember now
I have a bad memory as it is, i cant imagne what pregnancy will do to it in a while!
The film is a little bit dark, it made me jump at times. But there were quite a few kids there today and they seemed fine
Anyone going to see G.I.JOE? OH is making me see it with him and im not to sure

GISI Can I ask how much maternity leave you are planning to take.
I have a really strenuous job as well but can only afford six months off and am constantly changing my mind about when to start mat leave. Need to tell work by next week though so better make my mind up quick!!!Coming soon............
Brand new baby first showing in November!

Sirius Black dies, Beatrix Lestrange escapes from Azkhaban. Big battle / showdown at the ministry. Everyone realises that Voldermort is alive. Harry and friends create Dumbledores Army.

rsharp, I was thinking about them earlier. What a rip off! Glad I never got them sent to me now would have caused a rant.
Sorry to disappoint...but they don't even get sent to you - you download a pdf of the voucher (with your name and unique code on) that you then print out.
You can get vouchers to redeem in Lloyds Pharmacy or Argos for pre and or post natal bags - doesn't say what you get in them though (only 10 points) could be like the bounty packs I guessMSIQ = 158 :j0 -

wow Lou, busy day! Hope your over the shock!0 -
Lou- how stressful for you all! Make sure you take it nice and easy tonight as things like that are a shock to the system.
Pookie- I'm taking nine months, I think plus probably another month's annual leave which will have accrued. I only get two months full pay, then seven SMP which is a big drop for me, so it will be really tight but I really want that time with baby. Also lucky that OH can pick up overtime if needs be to boost the pennies.
I really cannot wait to leave- I have seven weeks left and much as I love my job, I am finding it so physically exhausting. How are you finding it so far?:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator0
