    Forgot to say yesterday I got an ten pound voucher through for clothes shops , hopefully am expecting another 20 from two other sites too so am going to save them so I can treat myself after baby has arrived.

    I don't really have plans this weekend (apart from waiting for baby to maybe make an appearence!). Think I might take a walk this morning -is nice to get out and you never know might start something.

    Only 2 days till due date now! Been getting a few pains but still think i may be waiting a while!

    Finally managed to speak to someone at electric company today and have paid bill now they are accepting they have my payment from Feb!

    Not actually doing too bad moneywise this month, probably helped by not doing much although I do always seem to be in sainsburys buying bits and pieces. 9 days till payday but hopefully will be in labour in next few days which will help save money for a couple of days hehe.

    Hello everyone,

    Just an update that baby Poppy Summer was born on the 19th at 2335pm (so 25 minds before due date hehe) weighing 7 lb 5 oz. The labour was quite long and unfortunately i couldn't progress after getting so far so ended up having a c section but I am just happy she is here with us. Only just got out of hospital yesterday because of the c section.

    Here is a pic for anyone who wants to see :

    Aww so beautiful! Sorry to hear your labour was a long one. I hope the C-section isnt causing too much pain.

    Congratulations again mummy! :)
