    I am really the opposite of enjoying plus I am off my anxiety medication so bit hectic with mood swings and worried a lot.  Midwife said I can take them but there is a chance could affect the placenta or growth of baby but will give me scans... so not taking any risk.

    Yeah I am due 31 January, however, section baby this time round (medical problems from first - epidural went wrong and seizures and third tear :()  so be 25 January we have estimated week before but they do not do weekends.  My first was early so it could be early also who knows :)

    Will do my best. Back at work and  being told that my shifts are all later 10-5 instead my usual 9-4 which I am arguing about.  Finish in 16 weeks of work thank god but then maternity.  xx

    If anyone knows where decent maternity clothes I can buy please let me know.  Cheap but good quality ;)

    Also ordering my sons gaming PC for his birthday.  My mum and dad are getting his desk.  I have ordered his webcam, microphone, streaming edit "must have" as he wants to be a youtuber....xx

    Will also get my mums £50 hair voucher.  So that is  her and my younger sister xmas complete.  My dad gets his usual £25 amazon (surveys will build up) JP got his designer sunglasses and will get few more things.  He finished up Rolls Royce and starts Ryanair next month xx

    I definitely will!
    18 weeks and 1 day.  We got the babies room new carpet laid down and skirting board... or I shall say JP done it :).  He starts Ryanair in mid end September and I pray it all goes well as will feel so much better when off maternity in January.  
    My boys birthday presents are all completed now :D I can now focus on Christmas.  Wish we knew date for PS5!!!  Or at least can pre order.  Then his main christmas and most of his Christmas will be complete. Only few more things and I will be done.

    24 days until payday.  Hope all is well x

    All bills minus one went out.  Banks looking quite healthy which is good.  Only have one thing this month booked and its a meal and Michel Roux.  It has been JP dream to go here so I booked it after our 20 week scan on 18th September.  Will be expensive but thought be nice treat after... tbf I will be going to chippy after I am not one for fancy food but willing to try.

    Payday is in 23 days will finish everyone else Christmas :D just my boys xx

    Thank god its Friday

    First full week in work complete, Glasgow is also put down in lockdown (partial again) I am south lanarkshire so it does not affect me ;) .... however what she does hide the fact is saying it is only "house gatherings"  It is hospitals as well - no visiting and also ,means my bf cannot attend 20 week scan on 18th so she better lift it by then as we are in Glasgow hospital for it.... I will argue we are not glasgow residents though.  I honestly do not like her and I was a huge supporter.

    Rant over oops! 20 days til payday thank god lol xx

    I know I rarely post.  Tomorrow is 20 week scan and I am sure it will work out fine.  I seen in the GRI hospital comments a girl was able to bring her bf.  I am now over halfway woo!  Hoping tomorrow our boys fine.

    Also great news I got my boy and bf their PS5 each.  I had to put it on a card so I have at the moment £707.96 to pay.  I had paid already £200 off,  I started JE again, stopped due to worries etc early pregnancy so £10.25 next week be thrown at it and I will be paid for £250.  This will make it down to £447.47.  I will do what I can :).  Still to get them games and another two controllers but will get there.  I want zero extra payments needed paid out in mean time for debt...but also main Christmas presents are done for main people in my life :D xx
