Not sure if I said this before, but Kittykins who do reusable nappies, wipes etc etc have 20% off everything with the code KITTYKINSSUMMER last day is today. I ordered my stuff through them with voucher from the nappy network and it was good so ordered a bit more stuff, ordered Thursday at 9.30, it was dispatched at 10.55 which I don't think is bad!

I was just thinking the same, then I realised I am so far from ready it's not even funny, so good job I've a little while left :rotfl::rotfl:

Speaking of which, someone has got a really good list of stuff needed for hosp bag and baby..........is it rach ? apologies if not

If anyone has such a list I would be eternally grateful.......I know it gets posted every month or so, but I think it's handy for all

I'm no expert, I just like lists...and I'm sure mine was cribbed from elsewhere, but I did post a while back so will see if I can find it!

I don't have a hospital bag list though, not thought about that yet!

Hi all, hope everyone is ok this morning:j

I was talking to xmas lolly on a different thread and she pointed me in this direction as I am due the same date as her (25th August). Hope it's ok for me to join.

I'm pregnant with my 3rd and it's a pinky:D Got 2 older boys already so this one came as a mega :eek:!! Am planning on having a HB this time round so the older 2 can be at home and not have to be shipped off somewhere as we live a good few hours drive away from family and I recently split up with my husband and he says he won't be there at the birth but hey ho he misses out not me! If I do end up in hospital a friend will have them. What type of birth are you all planning?

The nursery is all sorted and waiting ready for her arrival so just waiting now, seems to be really dragging this time, hopefully not much longer as she keeps getting her head in position down below and giving me the most horrendeous of pains and MW said things have started happening by the sounds of it. Can't wait to meet my little person

Suppose I best log out as I have said I will take the boys out for a bit. Hope you all have a fab day x

Hello all

Had a lazy morning but have got to go food shopping at some point today, was having a bbq but its raining so not doing that now. Husbands friend coming over this evening as his wife and children have gone to visit family he is joining them next week - have said no he cant stay in spare room as bed is made for my mum on monday and am not getting it all changed again tommorow esp as have to do it on fri morning ready for his dad coming fri eve for weekend. His friend can sleep on sofa if he is that desperate to stay.

Lots of my ebay stuff finishes today and the rest tommorow, shocked how much tatty teddy stuff seems to sell for brought a set of 3 girls sleepsuits in marks spencer early on in pregnancy as were far too cute to resist - pretty silly really and not mse at all but have put them on ebay and looks like will prob make money back as upto £9 already!! Shame some items dont have bids on them at all but hey ho least some bits have been bid on.
