UPDATE!
Nothing too exciting to report I'm afraid! Silly contractions have slowed a bit - they are still coming and are more painful BUT a bit further apart! Lol. Typical, she isn't going to make this easy for me!
I had my TENS on for hours earlier but it began to annoy me as I couldn't seem to get the balance between being able to feel it and it stinging! So I gave up with that!
My midwife popped in about 11ish (maybe, 12ish? can't remember) to say hi. She is on call today and tomorrow! YAY! she was so exicted! Lol. I also had a student round. She didn't do an internal as it's not far enough in the worry about anything like that yet.
She did a wee check (lol) all was fine
My BP was 120/86 which is very high for me! But not too high generally. They took it 3 times all together but i think it was high due to nerves and due to the fact that 2 of those times it was taken just after a contraction!!
Midwife listened to baby, prodded me and said everything was good and baby was in THE perfect position (she can be a good girl sometimes!)
The pool is blown up and the living room is 'ready' lol. Now all we need are some full-blown contractions and we'll be well away!
Anyway, i'm babbling, i seem to have a bit of an energy burst!
OW had to stop then for a contraction
Well i'll keep Sarah updated and thanks again for your lovely comment, you're all sweethearts! xxxxxxx
P.S BeckyJ - you next!!!

Mini-update!
Well i'm still here and still contracting! The plan to sleep didn't work, well Matt is fast asleep but i just can't, it hurts too much too often! It's about once every 5 min now, i've logged online to use contraction master to see exactly how they are coming.
They are hurting more now too!
I have my TENS on and am slowly cranking it up, i've got a cup of tea and a new book too - might as well enjoy the time in-between the pain! Lol.
Thanks so much for all your lovely messages! I'll keep Sarah updated as much as I can though i'm sure she's got other stuff to think about!
I'm kinda sad, i'll miss this tri! So i reckon i'll be around stalking all you guys... hehe.

AT LONG BLOODY LAST!
I thought i'd never get to write that! They've been going for a good few hours now (6!) and are every 8 minutes ish! They hurt but aren't bad at the moment. Am going to try and get some sleep and convince OH to get some sleep too! He's a bit panicky, bless him!
I will keep you updated whilst I still can and when I can't i'll pass you over the the lovely Sarah (GL) who is back and has her phone at the ready!
Not sure how long this will go on, i'm guessing could be a couple of days but hopefully no more! Maybe i'll have the first June baby!!!
