    morning, well Im awake nice and ealy, didnt have the best nites sleep but could have been much worse. Atleast I haven't been awake sincfe 4am!! Really need to go to te$co and get some nappies this morning, as they are on offer but they had run out when I had gone the other day, and I have a voucher to use! Although really can't be bothered to leave the house that early. hmmm keep sneezing think I have a cold coming.

    I have my dad coming round to deliver my nursery furniture that I picked up from an ebay person but I couldnt get in my car. So I need to come straight home tonight and clear out the spare room so can actually get the furniture in there!!!

    I used 2 pack of the big horrible packs and then when onto normal towels with my first (he was normal birth) but i used 3 pack of horrible ones before going onto normal towels with my 2nd (c section) so you should be fine with 4 packs.
    My mum got about 5 packs of newborn nappies reduced from her work place with my 2nd,plus the 2 i had brought. i was overflowing with nappies but they soon get used up

    hi!

    Well the carpet fitter has been i'm really happy with it as is DS :) OH, his friend and DS are currently building the bed which was delivered today, i'm staying out the way me and flat packs do not mix well! and always ends up with me and OH falling out :)

    I just need to buy a chest of drawers for his room and maybe a bookcase, but it is soooooo hard to find something decent at a reasonable price :( just gonna keep watching ebay seems to be the best bet. Oh and we have decided to re-tile the kitchen and paint it lol its all go in my house!

    Good for you joining the gym :) just the thought of exercise at the moment makes me want a sleep lol I'm gonna try and sort some of DS toys out tomorrow, I got a couple of those tubs with the handles just for storing toys in so gonna see how they work out

    As for the pads 4 packs should be fine, better to have to many than not enough ;)

    Lovely 4 packs should b fine then, have got 3 boxes or breast pads too, think there is 24 in each box, should this be enough too? I am planning to breast feed..... oooh need to get a breast pump too!

    so glad the carpet is fitted Bella:T! My dad has just delivered my chest of drawers and cot:A, have put it in the room that will be the nursery, but there is still so much stuff to sort out in there:o, really need to get stuff sorted. Thats my plans for the weekend! Think I can probably get it sorted on the saturday, ebay listing all of sunday, and washing all the new baby stuff on the monday along with tidying downstairs, and tidying upstairs on the tuesday ready for when OH comes home Tuesday night. He thinks i am a domestic goddess :) well most of the time although he knows my halo slips sometimes, (most of the time :o)
