[STRIKE]relist items on eb4y[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]update and print out invites for party[/STRIKE] nice easy one
make biscuits

must try to get all this done today. DH is away and is coming back today and it would be nice for him to come home to a tidy house (for once)

Oooh birth plan! How exciting! Did they seriously not read it last time? I am drafting an epic version as I've been told to make at least four copies so everyone can read it. Mine's turning into Mills and Boon length, so if no-one's going to read it, I'd better get it all onto one page!!

Take it easy with the tidying!

I'm sure they didn't. but it's easy this time. It will just read "Give me an epidural now and get this baby out quickly and safely!" :rotfl:

(long labour and difficult birth with DD)

I think my next birth plan will be the same Starnac :rotfl:.

I've got to be honest I'm not exactly sure what I'd write in it. Last time I went with the whole "Oh I want to do it as naturally as possible. I don't want any pain relief except gas and air. DH wants to cut the cord, baby straight onto my chest for bonding. blah blah blah" but after being in labour nearly 16 hours and realising baby is in trouble I would have done ANYTHING to make sure she was safe. I had an epidural in case I needed a section (something I claimed I def didn't want but would have gladly had one to ensure DD was okay) Midwife cut the cord to hand her over to the doctor to revive her asap and it was a good minute and a half (felt like hours) before she was passed to me. The only thing I felt went to plan was being offered the help to BF her. The midwife was fab, so patient with me and I'm sure that was why DD took to it so well.

This time I just want him out safely and I don't care how that happens. Obviously I would like a natural birth (no stitches) but if it doesn't happen then it doesn't happen. The baby is my main concern.

eb4y listings are doing okay. sold 3 items last week but the buyers have only just paid for them :mad: got bids on items finishing later today too. I have relisted the ones that didn't sell in the week so hopefully some of those will sell. I'll get them all packaged up tonight so that i can post them tomorrow. Then later on in the week I will check my paypal balance and transfer money into my account.

Got a letter of Barcl4yc4ard yesterday telling me that my Egg card (which I had actually thought I'd cancelled) has now been taken over by them. I'm tempted to ring them to see if they will offer me a 0% balance transfer so that we are not paying interest on any of our remaining debt. Apparently they take over from the 7th November so I may leave it til then.

Might be a good idea to look at other 0% deals that are around too.

I don't know why folk on ebay don't pay immediately - I do! I've three things finishing today too - two with bids on YAY.

Hey up thought I'd stick my nose over the fence

I've been into town this morning.

Had to go get my eyebrows waxed. Didn't really want to go as when I was pregnant with DD and had my eyebrows done quite late on I nearly passed out due to having to lie on my back. But I thought I can't possibly have unruly eyebrows in my boy's first pictures now can I? What kind of mother would I be?? So I went. I did a bit of shopping too and now I'm cream crackered so am sat in bed with the laptop debating whether or not to go back to bed properly

yay got my fourth star!!!
