    Mattress number 3 gone.. just clearing 4, 5 and 6 :D

    I spent a small fortune in M&S buying school uniform for September.. just need to sort shoes and bags and DS3 and DD2.. they should be bringing their price lists home soon for me to have palpatations over! I got Dot a snowsuit and some bits for Squeak.

    Congrats Claireloo :D

    Spakle My girls were up about 4 this morning.. ready for school by 5 and I had them doing all sorts of menial tasks.. and tonight they are stripping their beds tidying the back room and being sent to bed straight after dinner! I am not very nice when I am tired apparently lol

    OH's mum is after buying the cot.. she got Squeak hers so wants to get this ones too.. but the one I want is £300 WITHOUT the mattress!! :eek: .. I will get a different one I am not that unreasonable. ;)

    Hi!

    Congrats Claireloo, you must've wow'd them at your interview! I hope your promotion means more money too. Well done.

    Sparkle you sound super organised! I'm very impressed and very unorganised! I started so well but since about 25 weeks it's all stopped. Ooops I must crack on but when I'm not working I just don't have the energy. My plan for the weekend is to get this house sorted and clean. PP you'll be my inspiration!

    Lovely to hear you're getting on so well with motherhood. I can't wait for my little boy!

    I've also been sleeping really badly but it's almost normal now so I'm used to being a zombie.

    Has anyone heard from BCS? the last I remember she was having a tough time and was heading to the doctor. Sorry if I've missed anything since - hope she's ok.

    There seem to be quite a few ladies due soon who we don't hear from - I hope you're all lurking and doing well.

    where did you get the matresses from pp ? my eldest son could do with a new one.

    i agree on a summer pregnancy. it not so much the heat killing me, it more in the summer i love to be active, beach, walks, water park , picnics etc but i just feel quite shattered and not getting to do as much as i'd normally do. but then if i fell ( which i'm not planning to !) within a couple of months of the birth of this one , then it wouldn't be as into summer . but i think i'd prob wait until baby is at least6 months or so, so at least when summer hit i'd only be 6months ish gone which is fine.

    but hey the best bit of pregnancy don't matter how much you plan your body will always never go to plan :rotfl:

    my car seat has just arrived. so i have 3 very happy children playing with a huge box. which is good as my head is spinning this afternoon. had a nice sleep on sofa and drunk lots of fluid and starting to feel bit better now.

    Had my second booking in appointment today as I've moved counties (and the paperwork is completely different AND I've got to have a whole set of bloods done again!) and midwife confirms I've got SPD :( I have a consultant's appointment on Monday due to my high BMI so I've got to talk to him about a referral for physio. I refuse to take any painkillers as a) I've tried so hard not to take paracetomol for daily headaches & b) I'd rather know when I in pain in case I do more damage but this all depends on how bad it gets!

    GTT tomorrow :( Hate going hungry in the morning - always makes me feel sick.

    Feel really fed up & bored stupid but if I play the sympathy card with hubby I wonder if his work will move him back home now?

    Congratulations on your promotion Claireloo! Nice to have some good news when you were expecting bad!

    Sparkle Im envious of your batch cooking plans - I need to do some but need to defrost my freezer first and things are not going down as quickly as I would like so goodness knows when Im going to be able to do it!

    Have been to have my hair done today - feel much better knowing that one thing is out of the way for a little while at least! Am off to meet a friend in a bit - Chiquitos for tea and then to watch Bridesmaids at the cinema. Ill probably fall asleep but it's nice to get out for a few hours!

    Wonder if any of our boldies have had their babies? I need pics to coo over please ladies!

    Any news on the MOT supermaiden? I'm going to have to check what's coming up in September for car things to try and prepare. Think the tax is due then. I have a handful of family birthdays in Sept/Oct too so hope to buy gifts in advance.

    Great news clarieloo. Well done.

    Pigpen, I think I have an inkling of what you mean re clothes. I've started looking longingly at non-maternity wear. To have that dream of wearing normal clothes snatched away would be most annoying. And that's without all the other fun things you get to endure!

    Kandboys - I'm glad your GP managed to prescribe something. Itchy hands and feet are just the worst.

    Well I spent a good portion of yesterday evening on my hands and knees. It's done something as my bump has changed shape a bit. I can't tell what's what though so will see what the midwife says when I go for my 31 weeks appointment this week. I'm jealous of all you July ladies on maternity leave. Work is starting to feel a bit much but not enough to bring my finish date forward (partly because I want to see the end of a project and mainly for financial reasons).

    Sorry if I missed any other news. I'll blame sieve brain.

    Thanks for popping in mrsS.

    Yes, it failed. Costing around £800+ but husband signed up for some plan that costs £12 a month and it takes 10% off the price so its just under £700. :( Luckily we can just stretch to it but it means borrowing money for a week til payday.

    Still getting whatever is it when I go to the loo. Not sure if its anything/nothing. Feeling some pressure low down also but just keeping an eye right now.

    People keep bashing into my bump :( maybe thats why its called a bump because it gets bumped a lot :D My husband said its because its in the way all the time haha.
