Yeah it's super easy. One of my favourites. I will put it on later when I at home

I've been thinking more and more about my to do list the closer I get to due date. 34 weeks tomorrow! :eek:

I thought I'd share - please share yours too. I'm paranoid that I'm missing things off.

• batch cooking freezer meals.
• tidying larder (it's a total mess!)
• Ordering in dry supplies, loo roll, dishwasher tabs etc (tesco delivery coming on Monday)
• Tidying my knicker and sock drawers. (lots of old stuff to throw away!)
• Tidying my wardrobe (lots of my tops and pjs are screwed up on the shelves)
• Pack hospital bag! (nearly finished, just need to buy a few bits and bobs)
• Wash baby clothes (have baby shower Saturday so will do this after that)

What have you got left to do?
Have you got any ideas for dry supplies to stock up on?

It's getting close now!

It wouldn't show the page SC.

Today I have made 6 lasagne's to freeze in practice for batch cooking, didn't have a freezer last time so haven't done this bit before. :j exciting.

Apart from lasagne and shepherds pie does anyone else have any suggestions which are easy to make and store. I have bought some cheap metal tins (like takeaway tins) which I am using so I can easily stack and label. Think OH would get board of the same thing all the time, as will I.

Our freezer has to have more in it than frozen veg and chips

If you're making batches of casserole/mince etc, you can also freeze mash to go with it. I always make double and freeze some. One of my fav easy teas is sausages with mash and red cabbage (both from the freezer). Tastes like it's taken ages to make but all done in the time it takes to grill the sausages

What about cans of beans and tomatoes, packets of pasta and jars of sauce like pesto so you've always got an easy meal on hand?

I am badly stressed out. Kitchen sink full of laundry now. Feel like i've gone back 50+ years. Need my mum but she is a useless *insert swear word here*. She already turned down my asking for help before. No one else to help. My sister has a toddler and this house really isn't a place for one of those right now! And my dad has parkinsons disease. And hubbys parents live 4 hours away ... Stiff jaw ...Will not cry ... Must soldier on.

Midwife at 1130 baby still not turned so expect to be talking about what happens in regards to consultant referral now.

So much for the ideal life of perfect house - perfect nursery - resting in the last few weeks with feet up knitting and reading - HA!! Who fed us that clap trap ...

Oh no, are they guaranteed at all. Fixable?

Dishwasher we dont know whats wrong with and tbh I can live without that - will make life harder but do able.
As for the ruddy washing machine!:eek: Its currently out in the middle of the floor with hubbys tools everywhere. He *thinks* it's the motor or something.

Nah nothing is guarnteed as they are old. Both inbuilt into the kitchen so came with the house when we brought it 4-5 years ago.

His solution was to take paracetamol regularly, so 1 or 2 tablets 4 times a day. I took 1 monday morning and then another about dinner. It was only later in the day that i noticed baby hadnt moved as much as normal. I was paranoid that it was cause of the tablet, i havent taken any since and baby is kicking away like normal. Do you think it was because of the tablet or just a fluck and they were having a lazy day. Only asking as i was really achy last night.x

Hi Snowy,

Last time I was on strong painkillers and had reduced movement which I put down to the painkillers. I was informed by the consultant that the painkillers shouldn't cross the placenta and wouldn't have any impact on the little one.

Glad you are having stronger movements again but if you are worried do get checked out.

Speaking to my nan yesterday and she doesnt recall anyone in the family(her children or grandchildren) being late infact she knows some were early, does this run in the family or is everyone really different?

No one in my family have gone past 36 weeks, was informed that it doesn't run in the family by the consultant but my midwife seems to think that it might do.

Will be interesting to see.

Thank you for all the recipe ideas, lots of fun to be had. Really need to get my !!!! in gear, there is lots to do like mop the floor (been putting it off for weeks but it is only going to get more difficult)

Big ((hugs)) to all who need them.

I hope your washing machine gets fixed soon.

Do you have a laundrette you can use temporarily? we always use one when we get back from holiday, just take the suitcase in
