Making the future happen - museumworker's MFW diary Pt 2

Hi TYO, good to hear from you. Am due a week today - not sure relaxing and newborns go together though :rotfl:! Feel like the baby has dropped, so feeling quite uncomfortable and ready for baby to come.

Small OP of £13.91 from Ama$on sales to record. Also ordered a free kitkat from fb yesterday, and rather than meet friends in coffee shop this evening am baking a cake and having them over.

I MUST send copies of receipt for fridge to manufacturer for £70 rebate and 5 yr free warranty, and register for S&S. Someone shout at me if I don't!

I also have to dip into savings to pay for family break to celebrate my mum's 60th next April - already booked and owe £311. At least it means we won't have to find the money when in unpaid part of mat leave.

I know you won't think so but I think your pregnancy has flown. I think it's probably as I had a newborn when you announced and now he is 8 months old!

Hope you are okay after the fall. Is baby back to back? Both mine were and I had lots of pressure in the last week or so. Hope baby turns for you. Well done on the continued money making and OP's!

Go for it!! I'd been trying to get onto the panel for years but they never wanted us ..... until we had our lg!! Only been doing it since October and have about £70 to claim (have already had a £10 evoucher for ama$on). It only takes a couple of minutes to scan your shopping (I do it as I'm putting it away) then another few minutes once a week to transmit and scan in receipts - an easy £1.50 a week which all adds up)
If you can get onto the other panels - food on the go, fuel, food diary etc you can make loads (my dad is on them all and makes about £600 a year!) I keep emailing them but still not been invited

Glad you and bump are ok after your fall!

Oooh, thanks icklehelen, you've convinced me now - although I started to register on OH's laptop, which is a Mac, so need to now try and do it on the PC in the office.

CathT - I definitely feel like its dragging now, due on Friday and really would like the baby to come now! Hope your first week back at work wasn't too much of a shock. Am sure my mat leave will fly by too!

FINALLY for the first time in ages, have redeemed a £10 voucher from !psos- this is stashed away for the Xmas present fund. :j!

Went and got fitted for nursing bras today from M&S, remembered to take a gift voucher had lying around, so £1.52 off :rotfl: - I thought it was a tenner, but better than nowt I suppose! Also got round to chucking out all my socks with holes in heel - actually that was all my socks - and bought 6 matching pairs, I think I'll need more though.

Apart from that a fairly quiet and local weekend - friends over for a roast earlier, DD and OH went for free schwim this morning and I took DD to help make a local mural yesterday. DD drew OH a fantastic picture of me pregnant with baby bean and we framed it for his father's day present, he absolutely loved it. Light tea for us (still full from lunch) then an early night I think.

Just to let you all know ...we had a baby boy yesterday morning at 2.58, weighing in at 7lb 9oz. A quick delivery, as labour pains started at just gone midnight. I got the low risk ward I wanted but not the water birth - although had a room with a birthing pool, by the time baby was delivered pool was only 1/4 full! He is absolutely gorgeous, DD is over the moon with her new baby brother.

Completely exhausted now and first night was even crazier than I remember with DD! He has a touch of jaundice, but hospital quite happy to send us home yesterday.

ooh - so close mw! Hope you have a lovely last few days and that bean doesn't come (too) late - time can drag at this stage

Father's Day pressie for OH sounds fab!
