OH said one of the ones we normally go to was heaving with sellers today and most of it was tat but he managed to come home with bags of stuff to sell on eBay. I think he could make a little business out of it and at least have some money coming.

I do this occasionally, if I find something I know will sell well. Infact I bought something at the bootie yesterday to sell on Ebay (listed it last night!) OH said my eyes lit up when I saw it and he said he knew exactly what I was thinking. Couldn't believe my luck when the stall owner only wanted £4 for it when I know I can easily get over £20 for it on Ebay Just wish I could come accross situatuions like this more often for me to make a little business out of then I could quit my job as a slave.

Oh and the subject of kids sharing rooms...a few of you have said your children-I think were aged over 9 will share with the new addition..I was thinking the other day about my situation with my dad. Thinking if worst comes to worst and he refuses to let my daughter move up into the attic bedroom (his room when he is in the UK) then baby won't be able to have a bedroom to himself and would have to share with DS who is 6, will be 7 by the time baby is ready to move out of our room. I thought this wouldn't work as the age difference will be abit too much,but maybe I was abit hasty and it isn't that much of a big deal?!

I am feeling movement really low down,in foof area, I am only 29 weeks but midwife says baby is head down and don't I know it..I felt all swollen and hot down below yesterday and Saturday. Hiccups are great but annoying at the same time arn't they, my bubba had them for aggges last night but I think it was my fault cos I gobbled my tea down in record fast time. Bad mummy!

I get all my movement in the foof area, with only a small amount up below my ribs from the head, and my baby is breach at the moment (32+ 3). So think it gets uncomfy there whichever way up baby is, if that's any consolation! Mine's kicking so much down there, I keep expecting to feel a foot breaking through the cervix :eek: which is not a nice feeling at all!

I've told OH to research stuff on eBay that goes for loads that we know we can pick up - his total profit (excluding fees and postage) from 25 sold items is about £150 but I'm sworn to secrecy as to what he buys.

There's a good thread on the ebay section of MSE though

right off to aqua natal now.

I think its needs must. If you have a 3 bedroom house and 3 kids, then someone somewhere at some point is going to have to share irrespective of the ages.

DS's bedroom is pretty big as its an old attic room, so probably about twice the size of a small double, but wouldn't be very easy to do a permanent partition due to the layout on that floor without one child having to access their room by walking through the other's bedroom. When baby is old enough to move out of our room though, we were thinking of having some form of temporary partition, or privacy screen, so that the room could be divided into different areas to an extent and each child have some space of their own and some choice in posters etc in their area. Though that won't work if baby is a girl as DD's room isn't big enough to do that in, and given her special needs I am positive she won't want to swop rooms with her brother!

Ok peeps, for those of you who have cotbeds, which one did you get?

Ours is a Mamas and Papas Cotbed, can't find it on the website, but then it is nearly 6 years old. Its Pine or light Oak, with Rattan effect ends. I'm no good at explaining things. OH put it up last week, and it still looks practically brand new.

But was covetting a Dark wood Sleigh type Cotbed when i had a flying visit to Toys R Us. Dark wood is usually so not me but i thought it was lovely. But obviously not getting as have perfectly lovely, functionable one already.

Weve got a M&P Millie and Boris cotbed. OH put it up yesterday and it's gorgeous,really pleased with it. Bargainous £50 too!!
