    From about your stage I really struggled to be comfy in bed but a pillow between my knees when sleeping on my side helped x

    Sounds like you are doing really well woth the clearing Dinah! I can't wait to get rid of this baby stuff. I bought a jumperoo on eBay at the weekend so literally can't move for the play mat, bimbo, bouncer and jumperoo let alone Poppy's toys. Will try and have a clear out of toys in November ready fir Christmas.

    Dinah - hope grace and Ben slept ok. I am so over the 4 month regression at the moment...knackered!

    Off to open a savings account for Heidi this morning and treat myself to a coffee!

    Will try that! Hoping once the new sofa is here it'll help - ours is really squishy (normally the opposite of a problem) but I sink into it too much now and need more support in my life :o

    Well done on all the binned/donated stuff Dinah! Good going! :T

    I had a fun night last night with a little snotty cough-monster who didn't want to go to bed, but I did manage to clear the dining table so felt like the whole evening wasn't a total bust! Also discovered that he likes Strictly, he was dancing along and clapping at the end of each dance! :)

    I got one of those big swirly pregnancy pillows that helped when I got uncomfortable; DH hated it though as it took up loads of room in the bed! I struggled with the sofa too, not enough support! I borrowed a gym ball off a friend and sat on that most of the time. :)

    Grace off nursery as she had her pre-school booster yesterday, and her MMR top up, and her flu jab. So she's sad and lying on the sofa complaining she feels cold and her arms and legs are achey and her head is swirly. Poor bairn.

    Still, day off means I can get some Quidco work done and a few deals lined up for my feed. Looks like I might have an extra 2 hours teaching on a Wednesday as well which would be great, at the moment it's a pain of a day, out the house for nearly 7 hours for £45 before expenses and fuel.

    :rotfl: She really should be helping more.

    The gym ball is definitely good and helps position baby as well in later stages.

    Poor Grace :(.

    I keep seeing the pregnancy pillows, I kind of want one for all times? Can't see OH being too keen on anything which takes up more space in the bed, I already get told off for taking up 75% :o Do have one of those V shaped pillows though, will experiment with that tonight (sweet Lucifer, that sounds dodgier than the group hug smilie!) Made a note for the gym ball :)

    That's absolutely adorable about little Z, Birdie! I've not faired well with Strictly this year, only person I was interested in seeing dance was Jeremy, but with my current talent of crying over basically nothing - I realised my emotions couldn't handle judges being even remotely mean to him :o

    Hope Grace is feeling better soon. I remember how sorry I used to feel for myself after injections!

    Just wondering.. where the heck do I buy tiny coat hangers from?? I don't even know where I'd get adult ones from (just have shop ones!) but we wound up getting Fox a wardrobe so I'm suddenly in need. I meant to get some in Ikea but I was distracted by a book about a hedgehog and forgot :(

    We were buying some baby clothes in Debenhams and overheard the assistants talking about having too many little hangers so we asked if they had any spare they'd be willing to part with. A cheeky request but they gave us a bag full for free! :money: DH also ordered some from Amazon for not a lot of money.

    Hope Grace perks up quickly, that's a lot of injections to have at once, no wonder she feels rotten!
