    Thanks Happy :)

    I can't believe it's my last day, it feels really weird and is going to be a huge wake up call :eek:

    I've got lots of plans for my time off, not sure how much realistically I will be able to achieve, but we shall see.

    I need to sort out finances - that is going to be the biggest priority so will be listing my little heart out when baby is here. I might try and get some on next week and have them as scheduled so that I can upload them when I'm back home and a bit more settled.

    My first aim is to raise £3000 - that should get me back on track and make things much easier. Obviously the quicker I can do this the better, but I will have to see how it goes.

    I lost a filling the other day, and now that tooth has cracked right down to the gum :eek:. It's quite uncomfortable, but not sure what they will be able to do or whether I'll even be able to get an appointment so close to my due day. I will have to ring and see.

    Well, best get on - I've got loads to finish today and don't want to be here forever!

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Eek last day at work - try not get too stressed - if they cant do your job now its tough. You need to think of you and baby :D

    oouch ! re tooth - sounds painful :o

    I think its a really good idea getting everything scheduled for ebay (very organised) and will certainly make it easier for you when baby arrives.
  • You sound remarkably calm in the circumstances!

    I would beg for a dental appointment because tooth problems can just grumble on or they can suddenly get worse and I wouldn't want to risk the latter.

    Hope your last day at work goes OK. No doubt there will be a huge sense of relief this evening.

    Take care x

    Thanks guys - I'm starting to panic a bit now, but will get there!

    I have an appointment for the dentist on Monday, they did offer today, but I turned it down so I could get finished. I did warn them that I am due to pop and hopefully they won't charge me if I have to cancel.

    The tooth itself has had a root canal so it's not painful, but it's wobbly where it's cracked and so it's quite uncomfortable around the gum. I expect it will break off over the weekend (I'm too wussy to do it myself).

    Must get on!

    Have a good day everyone :)

    I'm finished work now, :eek: :T :j It feels really weird!

    I can't believe how quickly the time has gone either, I bet the next 6 months will now too.
