    Gilly - the bits are lovely!

    I think I have seen a giraffe at M&S... Oh, here you go:

    Ok, maybe they are not as cute as that one... Cloudberry - that is a fantastic gift. I doubt I will get anything from the team I am working in, as they are all men (ok, 4 of them and me) and they seem to oblivious to my pregnancy. I have a client who asks how I am every time I see him and how things are going and he brought me two T-shirts and left for me last week when I wasn't in (didn't know he was coming) - he is really great, and I wish I had him as a boss. I might get something from the girls (admin, security, etc), but I don't expect anything much.

    The days seem to be dragging here, and I still have about 13 weeks to work, if I am to finish by April (I have one more week to use up before then). Some days (most) I really feel like starting maternity leave the earliest possible (29 weeks) and take all my leave before hand - would mean I stop working before mid-February... The only issue - the finances. We will need every single penny we can get with the twins!

    Oh no Jenjade :( if you're measuring so big, they should be referring you to hospital I thought? Especially if you've had 2 larger measurements in a row?

    If anyone wants to do me a favour I'd be grateful :o

    I want fitted sheets for a crib, in blue if possible. Out of stock at Mothercare and, £19.98 for 4 from Babies R Us, if anyone can find them cheaper or with cheaper delivery than BRU (£4.95 :eek: ) I'd be very grateful xx

    I just bought 2 crib sheets on Amazon- £3.49 each, and they qualify for free super saver delivery ( we have Amazon Prime, so got them sent free next day)

    May have already bought the bottom one :o Was half price a few weeks ago and I couldn't help myself. I am obsessed.

    It sucks you feel this way :( but not surprising considering the way your work are with you. I really don't know what to suggest, because I know the earlier you take, the less time you have at the other end, (if you plan on going back? ) Big hugs xx

    Those are not bad priced actually, but I really want colour, torn now, whether to pay the extra £1.50 per sheet just to get colour.

    I suppose if I go out to Babies R Us, I'll get 4 sheets for £15, which isn't the worst I guess.

    All these decisions for bloody bed sheets! :o

    They do do other colours. The whites are just the ones i got. Just do a search. I'm sure i saw pink and yellow, and would be v surprised if there was no blue ones.

    Done it myself! Et Voila! In blue, as per the ladies request.
