    Thanks, i sent the form of yesturday so hopefully they will get it tues/wed and process it quickly, i just dont want this baby to come and us have no money for nappies or anything, im sure it will all work out fine, if not i will have to just ask my mum to help out or something.

    It's not easy is it, when i went from being single to living with my OH i was tearing my hair out, they lost a form, then it took almost 8 weeks to process it, they had done the claim but had forgotten to get it authorised so it was stuck in their system. If i hadn't have kept ringing i dread to think how long they would have taken.

    Good luck, hope you enjoy the sunny weather today.

    Elelyn and bellola -congrats on the pillow. Hope it makes your nights a bit more comfortable. Theres nothing like not being able to get comfy at night. My hips hurt from really early on and they are still bad now. I need to be on a spit that turns me automatically.

    Emsbet - happy anniversary to you. Hope you and your OH have a lovely day and evening. Did he like the book you made for him?

    Flutterby - sorry you are having a bad day. Just rant away on here and it will make you feel better. Not long to go now for you so hopefully your hormomes will !!!!!! off.

    Laura - glad your OH is home and well. You can start looking forward to your baby now without that additional worry.

    Triangle - do as your husband says and rest up today. Sorry your SPD is getting you down.

    Lovecrafting - hope your form gets sorted ASAP.

    Kelda - welcome back and hpe you had a nice rest. No definite idea on a birthing partner but i am building up a list of options so am getting there. Thanks for asking.

    My night with friends was good. Though they didnt go home til after midnight and i was absolutely knackered cos then of course the clocks went forward. Im like a zombie today but will just rest up and do naff all. Got a lovely chocolate cake i amy well have a nibble of later. Or a bowl full of. The decision is hard!!!
    Hope you all have a lovely day

    My hips hurt already not sure the pillow is making a lot of difference. Wish I could levitate then they wouldn't be pressing on the bed. ;):o

    My hips are so so sore, been to the park, on a walk with DS, planted some more plants and been to asda, he is now playing out while I have half an hour.

    Glad you had a good night happy - i bet you were tired. We are here too, was at wedding all day and night friday so we are still catching up on sleep, me and DS that is, OH is fine with a few hours, but me and DS are are like 2 peas in a pod :)

    Prawn salad with smoked salmon for tea and new potatoes soaked in butter, followed by strawberries, cream and ice cream, yum yum.

    Time to change the washing I have pegged out as it must be dry now. What a glorious day, so nice for March.

    Been shopping today - picked up a few bits and bobs I wanted (not so much "needed" now)... got some sticky on mirrored stars to go on the fitted wardrobe doors in the nursery from B+M - they look fab dotted about across the doors (long-term plan is to paint the doors, or possibly star-shapes on the doors, in blackboard paint when the baby gets older), couple of bras to start off with until size stabilises (gone slightly larger than my current one just to have something without underwiring trying to kill me for the remaining bit of pregnancy if nothing else), the ever-so-glam nipple cream to make sure I've got some in, clip on hooks for the pram handlebars (I've got one with only one handlebar rather than one per hand) to hang shopping bags on that I've been meaning to get for yonks... think that's it really.

    Just been lounging back in the baby's room watching everyone in the two streets potter around their back gardens - it's such a bright and airy room it's lovely... only drawback being the neighbours from hell that back onto us (whose builders have put us through endless months of disruption for almost a year) have fitted lights to their back wall that aren't angled at ALL - but shine straight across into the baby's room window, and are that bright it feels like the back of the house is under floodlights at Old Trafford when they leave them on all night (makes going to the loo feel like you're in the premier league as well).

    Poor dogs are going to be exiled to the kitchen until they EVER dry off - they've been out for a walk with hubby that appears to have involved chasing squirrels and bunnies up and down a stream so they're all muddy and soaking wet!
