    It was lovely and I got used to resting - i'm exhausted now that I'm home! Have seen an anesthatist this morning and my scan is at 2pm so another busy day. Have picked up some excellent bargains for the baby and got my pram for less than £150 so will definitely make a profit on that when I need to sell it on!

    DH gets paid on friday and me on Monday so I can start to plan next month OP really, I think we will get our daily interest below £10 a day in June which will be great. Wage should be pretty good too since I worked practically all of the bank holidays and did 2 extra Sundays, the OT seems worth it when it comes to payday doesn't it.

    I'm really behind with surveys, onepoll etc so need a catch up with those. I just need some time to do it!

    Right - off to play with my pram before it goes to my mums for safekeeping.

    Well done on the overtime, I'm sure it will all make a real difference. Have you heard of the NCT nearly new sales? We picked up loads of bargains for our little on from there.

    Thanks Kingster. I'm glad I did it while I had the energy and also while the hours were available. I always seem to miss the NCT sales so should keep an eye out on the website, thanks for the hint.

    Well, we had the scan!! And we found out..........................

    We're having a little boy, i'm really glad we found out although I was adamant we never would. Funny how i changed my mind last minute really. I now have lots of blue shopping to do and a 2 year old to convince that she is not having a sister since she argued with me that she was despite me telling her the baby is a boy!

    Thanks everyone. I am actually on Annual Leave this week and I think this is the first time ever I have not picked up extra shifts during my week off. I am going to enjoy the rest and the time with DD.

    Anyone else finding that there don't seem to be enough hours in the day at the moment?
