Charlie it's a group that you can join online, (there will probably be a local one for your area) where you can post items that are wanted or to give away free of charge. It can be anything from wood, to garden gates, to clothes to fridges. It's recycling for free

You'll be surprised what people offer and take Charlie. I got rid of a scraggy tree in a pot, an old electric fire, some scruffy paving slabs, old magazines etc etc. I love it, as otherwise it's stuff that'd go down the tip, which never seems quite right.

I love freecycle... Although ours has just become freegle now I think?

I've just had someone collect DD1's old car seat and I'm hoping someone will come and collect the baby carrier and pushchair that was kept for my Mum's car for DD2... It's taking up space in my hallway lol...

Thanks everyone will go check freecycle and ebay

Feeling better after my bath and a chat with oh about the birth and what I want and what we want in terms of what family visiting when - he has a large family and we both feel having them all around at the same time might be a bit too much.

Also any idea how to explain to baby the concept of time? Im wanting to go into labour around 7pm so that lo has gone to bed that way I can have the baby and everything sorted by the time he wakes up in the morning.

This would be a lot more convenient than say going into labour at 1pm when lo is awake and oh is at work lol

My friend just turned up unannounced... My worst nightmare!! But still... At least I was dressed today!!

I really hate people coming round when I dont expect it always feel like both me and the house look like a disaster area lol

I wasn't going to bother about a breast pump until I knew for certain I was able to breast feed (you never know right?). Then I was just going to borrow my friends but hers isn't electric. Now I've seen this one half price, http://www.boots.com/en/Tommee-Tippee-Closer-to-Nature-Electric-Breast-Pump_954508/

Is electric much better than hand pump? Is it worth getting this now or will it add more pressure to me? Am I fretting about nothing?

Thanks Dusty, I have just ordered this!

Hope everyone is ok.

I'm not sleeping too well at night, can't get comfy. Couple that with the stress levels increasing at work somewhat and I'm in a permanant haze! Still never mind, weekend here soon.

I'm 25 weeks today, yey!

I have given some old tat away on freecycle too, it's amazing what people will take off your hands!

Labour vibes too all in need. x x

Well, I'm feeling something now, but its not the butterflies or flutterings that people describe. Its more like something being run along my insides, a bit like how a smear feels but not as uncomfortable if you know what I mean? I'm not very good at describing things! And it's quite low down, not at the front of my stomach as I was expecting (why I was expecting that I don't know!)

So I think that must be the little un having a wriggle! Heartbeat was nice and strong at my check last week, which has reassured me a bit too!
