That's me too, when my head hits the pillow...!
I hate not sleeping though as I reach for the munchies far too easily as a pick me up.
How have you been Michelle with them at nursery, any free time to yourself?
I've saved some money today whilst browsing ...We need a energy performance certificate in the next 28 days as the house has now officailly gone on the market. Not wanting to pay the Ea's £70 fee cos I'm tight, I have got it for £39.95 online :money: I hope they come out early next week as I want it done and dusted before baby blue comes.
Other little info ...Still haven't done a meal plan as I've been busy chatting to my mum who lives in France about coming over in October and I've washed , dried and put away 3 washloads...where does the day go?
I'm having my hair done tomorrow and I CANNOT WAIT ..! I feel like a blonde yeti with dark roots, it's been 15 weeks since I had it done and its getting me down...at least I will look glam in labour :rotfl:I can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -

Well done on furthering your plans for moving and saving money. I had a little chuckle to myself when you said about the hair, as i was thinking the attention might not be on your head, but i am sure you will look lovely for photos afterwards. There are none of me when DS1 was born and i kind of regret it.
I think i am getting even less time to myself than normal at the minute. I drop DS1 off at 8:45, i've been getting home at 9:15 due to him creating, then leaving at 10:30 to pick up again. I've also squeezed in so many jobs i don't know whether i am coming or going. A bit crazy. Hopefully easier in October when he goes up to 3 hours per day. I am completely cream crackered with all the rushing.0 -
:rotfl: I've shaved my legs too but I didn't share that bit of information with you. I feel a lot better for it though...you never know who's looking at you!
I'm so big today I swear my stomachs grown again just today.
You've reminded me what it's like now when I had DS3 at nursery and doing the car journey there and back home, pick up for dinner and then back to nursery again. I was so stressed out. You forget these things though.
Like you said, It'll get easier and October is just around the corner they'll both be at school before you know it...then you'll want another oneI can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -

I remember someone being shocked i had bothered to do my bikini line. I couldn't see what i was doing, but it was important to me i bothered. :rotfl:
I think with nursery, i will ask for mornings when DS2 starts next September. At least then it will be easier in the mornings to chiv them along. The one thing i am really grateful for is my neighbours little boy being in the same class, as they both really want to walk to school together, which is helpful. It's only a few minutes walk up the road, but it is up hill, i am unfit. :eek:
And as for the last bit, my head knows it is not right for us, and i need to let my head rule. That's why i am getting rid of quite a bit of stuff. Saying that though, something is stopping me getting rid of all of it.0 -
I couldn't imagine NOT doing their bikini line! :eek:
I asked OH to do mine for me last year and I ended up with 2 big wings...don't ask! I'm sooo glad I went overdue and gave it chance to grow back. I'd have died with embarrassment if anyone would have seen that! :rotfl:
OOooh we heard it here first I predict end of next year you'll be making plans !I can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -
Hi Iris! :j
Thought about you on Friday! The Audi R8 I drove was a white one! It must have been a sign.. It was simply amazing... I highly recommend it, this is a superb car..
Hope all going well with you & the baby... Not long to go now...
Will speak to you in the coming week

Hi all,
I've just popped on to tell you that I've had a phone call for a viewing on our house today. :j the viewing is on Thursday. I'm nervous!
I've not been on much as I've been trying to rest ..well as best you can with a large family to wash , cook and clean after , my feet and ankles have been very swollen with this pregnancy. I still don't feel like I've done everything to prepare but on paper I have. ( I make lists for everything!)
I had my hair done on Friday all ready for baby blue's arrival and it had gone up £10 ish to £86 for a full head of foils and a cut and blow. Not MSE I know but It is still cheaper than my last salon so it's MSE to me. Me and OH have a hair budget of £400 for the year so we should just do it.
You must tell all Froggy -I'm dying to know how you got on. I'll catch up on your thread when I've got a minute this week. Life's just hectic at the moment. I've been looking over the weekend at some sites. He's asked me if he can have a Lamborghini Diablo v GR-r track day for his birthday this weekend ...hmm funny that 'cos I'd been looking before he asked I even deleted the browsing history !
Oh yes whilst I remember the MORTGAGE PAYMENT comes out tomorrow who hoooo, so I can update the latest figures on Wednesday. :j
Take care all and I'll try and catch up when I can !
ps Fingers crossed for me that I have this baby soon. An allocated time slot would be useful as I have so much to do. I'm thinking Friday night 8pm ish ! fingers crossed hey!I can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -
lol! Just caught up on your thread and am loving that last comment!!
I have to say that I was very lazy and didn't give a damn about hairy legs or anywhere else for any of my 4 - and I certainly wasn't going to let OH give me a trim!(I've seen what he can do to his chin!!)

Greent - OH had a goatee when I met him
...need I say more? I'd never let him shave me again after last time!
Well I got a phone call about the EPC that I purchased on-line last week for half the price of the EA's cost. He came to the house within the hour...how's that for service? Although he asked me for the money when he arrived, I had to explain that I had already paid. He's a subcontractor so he didn't know but it was a bit embarrassing. Anyway he's rated us a C , average property is a D.:j He told me we had cavity wall insulation which makes a huge difference. I didn't know we had it. How MSE am I ?! (without even knowing it too)
I can't be bothered updating this anymore0
