No!!

Oh sweetie it all seems to be going wrong for everyone today.

Want to come and make it all better.

bloody hell - so much bad luck on the thread today.
I hope we all have a fab day tomorrow.

I was in interviews most of today interviewing for my position. I'm getting stressed as I have less than 3 weeks remaining and there is no one in position yet. I really need to start winding down.

Thanks everyone for your ideas on what to stock up on. Little Miss Money Saver - you have some fab ideas. Just added loads to my tesco order for monday.
I've also ordered all the ingredients for the sweet pot curry and butternut hot pot so will be batch cooking like a nutter next week!

I also had my 34 week midwife appt today - the baby has moved to head down from transverse at 31 weeks. I nearly cried at the heart beat again (what a softy I am!)

Got another person interviewing at 8.30 tomorrow. Let's hope she's the one!

Rebekah - i am sorry you have had a rough day, have a good cry if you want. sorry to hear baby is still breach, hope it turns.

MRs BRyan - i am the same with paracetamol, i havent taken one since getting pregnant, even though i am in pain daily with my back, i am coping with using a natural antiinflammatory cream. apparently it is safe to take paracetamol but i dont like taking drugs anyway, let a alone taking them while pregnant.

ladylegs - sorry to hear labour didnt go as planned, i think it is hard to stand up against medical professionals because you do trust that they know best. congrats on your baby boy


i go on mat leave at 38 weeks so might not get time to do cooking and freezing of meals if baby comes early, definately do not have time with working full time and also seeing nutritional theapy clients and general preg tiredness.

a question - my moses basket has been given to me second hand by my sister - i was wondering do i need to buy a new mattress? i thought not as the mattress is covered in a plastic lining

i use ecover too, as have previously reacted to other detergents. the softner smells lovely! some shops will refill ecover 1.5L liquid detergent, a shop near me does it for £4.99.

even though i am 34+3 baby is still moving around a lot in terms of position, i will feel hard head below my breast one minute, then later in the day its gone. really hope its in head down position when midwife next checks on tuesday.

its nearly the weekend, thank god!

Sounds like we've all had bad days, here's hoping tomorrow is better for all of us! xxx

Do I need to photocopy both sides of my MATB1 form? Am I right that I keep the original and everyone else gets the photocopy? x

I sent a copy to my work HR and they just emailed me today saying they needed the original, so probably worth checking.

Here's to a better tomorrow for everyone

I'm off to bed as have been knacked all day.

My work wanted the original. I didn't photocopy mine - will I need it for something?

My midwife advised me to photocopy mine and keep the original as my work will need it, OH's work require a copy so he can have paternity leave, the council require a copy for my trial pack of reusable nappies and then the DWP want a copy towards benefits.

Oh I understand. My DH didn't need it for his work - they never asked. What kind of benefits is that - the child benefit? I thought proof of birth would be enough?

MrsExcited

are any of you hiring a tens machine? Anyone know of a good deal going?
