    Such happy news :) Congrats BCS!

    It's such a nice day today everywhere I think. So hope everyone is getting something done ( that's probably only you Pigpen ) or spending the time relaxing in the sun.

    Labour vibes to those who need/want them :D

    I am drowning in a pile of long neglected laundry today :o geting it all sorted, and packing up the baby clothes in bags according to size. Squeak has so many clothes in tiny sizes in her wardrobe, that there was no room for anything that fits her :rotfl: When I know what we'll need after the scan I'll either get it out nearer D day or probably give it to social services along with all the kids old bedding. Someone from children's services (in one of my fiasco visits from them triggered by KH) said that they give them to families that need them and they are always on the lookout for more.

    Also sorting through DD1's stuff so she can go back into her room tomorrow, I don't want it going back in the same higgledy piggledy mess it came out in!

    Still got more washing on the line and in the dryer *sigh* it's non stop.

    On the plus side I did get 2 new dinner sets from sainsbury's that were reduced to £14 from £31 :T just got to put all the old ones in the car now for OH to take to the charity shop. Apparently they really like getting plates etc as they sell quickly? they are so heavy and fragile it's not really worth ebaying them.

    So I am having a Pigpen-esque day. lol.

    ETA Congrates BCS :D don't know how I missed that. Hope it all went well for you and you are enjoying your cuddles :)
    Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession :o:o

    Well done Delain, I've been a lazy cow all day :D just in from a big long walk in the sunshine and it was fabulous. My OH thinks he can come in from work and nap, just about to wake him up with a list of stuff that needs doing and get it done tonight. Got a rather large grocery order coming tomorrow morning so want everything tidy and sorted out for that.

    I'm going back to my folks next week for a few days too, so that needs to be organised too. Supposed to be super sunny tomorrow, hopefully I can get out for a while, it puts me in a good mood.

    Pigpen you need to give me some of your energy, I feel knackered constantly.

    Congrats BCS :j I hope it all went well for you xx

    Lozzy im 32+2 and have started to get bits together for hospital bag and bung them in the bottom of the wardrobe so if anything happened i can grab them and stick them in a bag. Will prob have bag packed and in car from 35 weeks, i would rather be organised as we are moving house at the end of August and i dont want stuff getting lost in the move.

    Well im shattered today, had approx 3 hours sleep last night and feel like crying, just cant sleep even though im exhausted, i look awful. OH has been great and has taken DD out to the funfair and then cinema just so i can have a bubble bath and try and relax, but my mind wont switch off and if i dont sleep soon im going to become evil, have been close to losing my temper with DD twice today and she hasnt done anything wrong :o

    I hope you are all having a better day than me xx
    Due 26th July, team yellow :D

    I have no energy but I have loads of stuff that needs doing to make the house habitable.

    Hospital bag I sort at about 33 weeks but I have had mine early so it needs to be done.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think thats whats putting me off!

    i`m 35 weeks tomorrow so i think if i cant find a suitable bag in the house i will treat myself to a new one when i go to town next week, i know where everything is its just actually placing it in to the bag...

    i could be having a c- section thing so i`ve heard they do them a bit earlier too but they are still debating that amongst themselves but am guessing they have to give me some sort of notice for this
