Hello
It's a bank holiday up here in Scotland so I'm not back until tomorrow - a 3 day wk this wk and 3 days next wk (this Friday I'll be working from home).
Petchy - just missed you in the chatroom, I was logged on for a while but went and put some washing on and forgot I was logged in! I think it booted me out after a while though.
What have you got planned for your maternity leave? I think I'm just going to try and relax and get the house ready for little one and join in any mothers to be classes or groups I can find (haven't found any in my area yet and parent classes don't start until 9th Jan).

typical!
i'll log in again and stay logged on for a while. work is boring me today!!i'm gonna use my time before baby arrives to do a bit of nesting and a lot of resting! lol
hopefully i will have time to clear out a few cupboards and get them organised, as well as catching up with some friends that have had their babies recently! and a catnap in the afternoon sounds veeeery tempting with all these trips to the loo i keep making in the night!
Hello!
Today was hard work (hadn't been in the office for nearly 2 wks!) by the time I got home I wished I was finishing on Friday but I hold on to the thought that my boss is on holiday from lunchtime Friday so my 3 days next wk (mon-wed) will be really quiet and I can take long lunches and arrive/leave on time!
Working days left: 5
Working days in the office: 4

Congratulations Petchy - It must be great to know you can relax now. I hope you had a good last day. I have 10 days left to work - I came home at lunchtime today and went back to bed - I felt like pants!! Feel better now for the rest, just rather uncomfortable. Not long to go now though - soon be in single figures.

so yesterday was my last day at work - and it was so nice at 5pm knowing that i can put my feet up now, and have a kip in the afternoon if i've had a bad nights sleep (almost every night these days!)
my colleagues had done a collection for me, and gave me a nice rattle from early learning centre and a £75 gift card at boots (which i have already decided i will spend on a couple of nursing bras and a baby monitor). i also got a lovely card which everyone had signed.
i have to keep reminding myself that i don't have to stress this weekend! i usually run around like a headless chicken trying to get all the cleaning done, shopping, seeing people and all of a sudden it's sunday evening and back to work on monday. but now i don't have to rush! i keep forgetting though, and got up early this morning and cleaned the house! when i'd finished i realised there was no need to rush it - but at least now the house is nice and tidy and i can sit down and admire my handiwork! lol

Yay, I'm in the final week!

How was your first Monday on maternity leave Petchy? Last night in my usual frantic rush to get stuff done and get to bed at a decent time I was thinking it'd be my last Monday morning feeling for a while!
