boo - u seem to have it all covered althou u will need a bigger bag. I found once the towels went in there was not much room for anything else!

boogellyboo

Boo that looks pretty much the same as mine. I think the only other things Ive got in mine are a few more muslinsand scratch mitts, some RLT (hoping it'll make everything contract back quicker) and a small bottle of cordial as I hate plain water. Im leaving the car seat at home with a snowsuit in just incase its really cold and my parents can bring it to the hospital. Me and OH dont drive and they have a spare key for my house.

BeenieCat

Went out to buy paintbrushes but ended up at a checkout in Morrisons with a tub of Ben & Jerry's in my hands

boogellyboo

Ooh Beenie, which flavour? You deserve it as a treat for starting the decorating. I went to get some from asda yesterday and every single tub had about 3 inches of ice encased around them :mad: They looked like they should have been in Ice Age!

I love all the welsh names on here at the moment. Some fab ideas.

Kindof- I love the nursery set that you're getting. How sweet of your brother to get those bits for you. You have a lovely brother!

Nikkit- sorry that Kiddicare was disappointing.

Thanks for the vibes. I feel totally normal today, so not feeling so hopeful! I'm going to try and do some walking today and I'm cracking on with the
RLT too.

Anyone got any fun Sunday plans?

I know bless him we are very grateful

SJ - Thanks YAY for B&J's

Gymfiend - Ohhh thanks lol Ive never actually seen it in real life, I am very trusting arent I lol

I am the opposite Gymfiend lol someone from work has a load of boys clothes to give me if we are team blue lol so it will be :money: if we have a boy lol

OH will not go to asda with me for B&J and it shuts in 35 minutes

Awww we went asda and there was no ben and jerrys left

SJ - I hope your cake was nice, although I am sure its lush if you made it

Labour vibes Jennynoo

Aww Beenie lol we are rearranging the furniture in the house, I say we I am currently eating a feast while OH does the moving lol

Oh my god PP thats awful

Beenie - Do you gloss first? I always gloss last then get the hell out of ther cos it sthinks lol

MoosMummy

Fattybooboo, I would add a pack of antibacterial wipes to your bag, hospital baths can be a bit grim lol

BeenieCat

It's called 'half baked' never had it before it's yummy though (she says, as she's wiping her chin) :rotfl: They all had a fair bit of ice on them in Morrys too!

Kindof yeah i have always glossed first because i wallpaper more often than not and figured it doesn't matter if i get some on the wall, cos i'd be papering over it anyway!

But ex does it last, and i never understood it, he painted the bathroom but didn't gloss, saying he'd do it afterwards although he never did :rolleyes:

boogellyboo

Oh, thats the other things Ive got in mine. Some anti-bac hand gel and the little dettol spray that was in my bounty bag.
