    Goody, took Michelle's top tip and did an approved foods order with free delivery. Seems to be lots of good stuff for packed lunches and some interesting indian food. We'll see.

    How long do they take to deliver, I wonder??

  • Popping in to say I am still not in labour...DH has taken DDs to play with ponies. Hope everyone is managing with the lost hour of sleep.

    Puppy met the hunt yesterday (hunting ban? Really??) and took it well. Think DH and I have decided to get a new pump and filter on the well so we can use the water again for non drinking purposes...save on water bills.

    Change your bedding. Worked for me twice.

    I really can't imagine baby not wanting to leave with mine both being early. DHs cousin was having an induction today, so i had best get knitting as i haven't finished her blanket. Lol.
  • That's good, it was changed today! Think may send DH for a curry, purely medicinal you understand!

    Maybe the curry will work! I went a week over with DD and when midwife came to do sweep i was already 4cm and had no idea!! Anyway, once it starts i can't imagine you will be long. Keep us posted either way xx

  • I am 2-3 cm which is rubbish, and have had two sweeps already. At least curry will be a diversion!

    2-3 is rubbish as you're probably permentantly that now anyway with it not being your first. ..but hopefully you have something to tell us by now anyway !

    I feel your pain , I was 14 days over with DD (no5) she was never going to come out.
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore
