    Can you ask someone else to pack it and not to let you know when its done? Then at least it's ready somewhere

    Nope :rotfl:I'm a total control freak :eek: Hubby had a go last weekend after the contractions stopped but they kept me in. He was very proud he managed to put a night shirt, socks pants and maternity towels.

    Debt Sept 2012 £140,000 end age 65.5 (maximum) four mortgages in total
    April 2016 £114,599.83 (3 mortgages now)
    Nil debt for some many years now perhaps 8. Need to save for a tent for holiday this year but nil else.
    Over paying about £500 per month but fancy £600 so will have to think of some very money saving techniques...
  • Do it yourself LP or you know what will happen! Hope youre OK and not too worn out, didnt think you'd make it to 36 weeks! V glad you did though.

    GFH - i'm fine an groovey... 15 hours of irregular pains and tightenings and they disappeared about 10pm so I took some painkillers and got my head down and they didn't return until just before 7am. TBH I think we will have days maybe weeks of this, baby seems lower though and it hurts more to be upright so thinking its a head pressing down

  • See??!! Get the bag packed - red alert!! Good job I'm not being relied upon for any of this baby delivering business, I'd rush about screeching about hot water and towels and not know why! :o

    Cath TBH I don't feel like this is it, sounds weird but i'm too calm. Today I plan to switch my utility supplier, shred some paperwork, actually pack my bag as I did babies last night and possibly have a look for my MIA moses basket sheets but the boxes may be too heavy for me.

    I have also seen some nice DVD units, thinking of ordering them as I have liked them for what seems like forever and they are now 60% off. I need to look at budget at some point. DH been offered a different route, slightly less bonus earning capability but a later start and earlier finish. Drop would be about £100 a month after tax etc but would be working about 20 less hours over the month.
