I'm having a DFW baby!!

Yes, sorry, I edited my original post when I realised I hadn't answered your question - hopefully I will be entitled to more Tax Credits, but as I still owe them money, I wont see any of it for a while. I'll ring and update them with my new income etc though.

yes you will get more when the baby is due

That's good, I don't class it as a debt exactly because it was their fault (I gave them the correct info, on time, but it was still calculated wrong apparently) and I don't have to pay interest on it, but I'll still be glad to see the back of it. Then hopefully I will start getting a bit of Child Tax Credit actually paid into my account for once, which will help as I'll have childcare to pay for once I go back to work.

Well, I've been a bit naughty today really, just lazing around, doing the odd bit of housework and painting but nothing too strenuous. But hubby has just come home and decided 'we' are going to crack on with some more decorating, so I will be spending the next hour crawling on the floor painting some more skirting board. Grrrr.....

Bless him though, he's dug out an old piece of carpet so I don't have to sit on the hard floorboards (NOT good for SPD at all!). Hope I can get back up afterwards....wish me luck!!!

Will no doubt be back later to moan about how achy I am lol!

Hi Mrs S, hows it going? Hope you are well. You cannot be too far away now! ( I know i keep asking and I shoudl know!) Lenny

Hi Lenny, about 6 weeks to go now - feels like forever! How are you & your family?

Hubby ran me a bath after we finished the painting, so I'm aching but not as bad as I could have been. Our bedroom is finally starting to look like a bedroom! (It's only taken us ten years to have a nice room to go to sleep in!)

God, I've just had a horrible experience. Just had to drive about 20 minutes to drop DS off with Grandparents (school training day tomorrow and it's my last day at work, so they're having him overnight tonight & we will pick him back up tomorrow), and on the way back, I nearly passed out....ON THE BLOODY MOTORWAY!!!!!

I suddenly felt dizzy and my arms started to ache as though someone had cut my circulation off. I thought I was going to have to swerve onto the hard shoulder. I wound the window down and had the wind and rain lashing in on me, which seemed to bring me round, and I made it home okay, but I feel shaky still, and my heart is still pounding.

My blood pressure has been a bit low and I've had the odd bit of dizziness, but nothing as scary as that. I might have to get a taxi to work tomorrow, and get hubby to pick me up. Thank god I've only got one day left, otherwise my taxi bill would be huge (it's about £8 one way). :eek:

Oh God, glad you're OK!! No more driving before bubba arrives now methinks!

Hope you're feeling OK now - but the exertion of last night may have been a contributory factor.

Lol, it's not easy this pregnancy lark is it???

Of course I'm now using it as an excuse to put my feet up for a while, I think I might have overdone things a bit today.

DS has just rung me to check I got home safely bless him....I nearly burst into tears, just managed to bite my lip really hard and tell him Mummy is fine, loves him very much and will see him tomorrow.

I'm watching a programme about Jackie Clune (I think that's her name) a comedienne who filmed a video diary about her triplet pregnancy. I just can't imagine carrying three of them! I shouldn't be watching baby programmes though, it's just scaring me....eeeek!
