Was wondering if anyone has any cot bed advise is this something we spend lots on or budget? We dont like the £100 ranges but was thinking £280 on Mamas and papas seemed expensive. and advise??

That is what I thought then had DS3 at 31 weeks, DS2 at 32 weeks, DD2, DD4 at 34 weeks, DD3 and DD5 at 35 weeks... it all suddenly seems VERY imminent this baby thing!

I'd been meaning to ask you how early your earlies have been! Must have read my mind lol

It's only 3 weeks until MIL prediction so I guess I really need to get motivated and crack on!

Hi Penny - I'm not buying a cot yet, but I saw a couple of Mamas and Papas that I liked, one was on offer for £80 and I think the other was around the £149 mark. Have a look on the M&P website - they've always got offers on

*Twinkle*

i got a M&P cot bed with the matress for £210 (the air sprung matress, not the foam one) it was on offer at the time but theyre always doing different offers so keep an eye on the website.
it's gorgeous here today so after not leaving the house yesterday i decided to drag my bum out today, had a stroll down the promanade and sat in the gardens but the blooming ladybirds out out in their gazillions, ive never seen so many, and littlelegs is, in her own words, "scared of everything" and at the moment ladybirds are at the top of her list of scary things, she has a fit everytime one comes near and i got fed up of the constant screaming so we've come home!
been having a few quite "deep" movements iykwim, feels like she is litterally gonna fall out, theyve actually took my breath. still think she's back to back, at the MW on tuesday so i'll find out then.....................13 days to go

So glad to hear that everyone else is living in chaos too

We aren't as bad as we were two weeks ago, we are now moved back into our room after having a wall taken down and the loft hatch moved. We haven't decorated, it will have to wait until we have less imminent things to do. OH has also unpacked all the boxes in the study / computer room so there is space to actually get in there now.

Our dining room is still full of wardrobe bits and empty wardrobe boxes, and our dining table is still in the lounge, but once OH has finished building our wardrobes, chest of drawers and bedside cabinets then all will be good there. I can't complain, he hasn't stopped for weeks!

I've got a tiny bit of painting to do in the nursery today, around the window frame, as we had new windows fitted last week. There are also boxes in there that need sorting out. Border to put up, skirting board and new carpet to be fitted, then we can move all of baby's stuff out of the conservatory.

I've got some stuff to list on ebay today whilst it is free listing weekend, and some books to package up for readitswapit, so that is my evening sorted for me.

They would go and put that house on Rightmove at the weekend when the lettings agents won't reply *sigh* watch me ring them monday and them say it's already gone

I am hoping and praying that we can get it. I'll cry if we don't! Mind you I'll also cry at DIY SOS, Heartbeat, the news and kid's DVD's so I suppose that's nothing new.

Have got a whole line of washing out and I'm just sat here watching it from the window... Actually maybe I have completely lost my mind. I'll sit and watch the washing machine as well, can't now because a) It's finished, and b) there is a puddle on the floor in front of it where i knocked the cat's water bowl over

It's Squeak's birthday today, she went to sleep at about 3 and hasn't woken up yet so we'll have to do her cake and candles tomorrow as OH has now gone out to pick something up. Not happy! Next year I am going to plan a party at a set time and if he isn't there he misses it. I've had enough of trying to fit everyone around him all day, and this is the 3rd time he's been out now.

Hope eveyone's OK

Im LOVING my MIL at the moment, she has just asked me if I mind if they go away on holiday when the baby is due and over christmas! Do I heck, do you want me to buy the flight tickets

Im soooooooooooo glad as I was worrying about her being round the baby straight away as it is their first grandchild, but after how she behaved (booze and fags) when i last saw her Im so glad that Im not going to have to deal with her when im either A) a hormonal, peed off, overdue mess or a hormonal, peed off, sleep depreived mess :rotfl: She is lovely dont get me wrong, its just last time I saw her when she helped us move house she tanked a bottle of rum and a bottle of wine in less than an hour and really annoyed the heck out of me by patting my tummy and telling me baby knew its grandma ( i wasnt even 10 weeks at that point) :rotfl:

So its only my parents to contend with when the baby is born and thats a totally different senario as they will help where needed and wont clean my house to an inch of its life making me feel like a total slob.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post as I'm after some advice and a bit worried. I'm 33+1 today and have been having really bad stomach and back pains all afternoon. I've took some paracetamol but they don't seem to be going should I give the hospital a ring or am I just being nesh?

OH is at work and uncontactable and my mam and sister are both on holiday so don't have anyone to ask.

If YOU are worried.. ring the hospital.. it is highly likely it is just a water infection.. but they can get reet nasty.. believe me!!

If it is nothing then at least you can be reassured and not sat home alone fretting!

Ring them..

I'd give the hospital a ring Mancbird, just to put your mind at rest x
