Haha yeh i was originally leaving at 37 weeks, i have now saved a weeks holiday and leaving at 36 weeks. It cant come quick enough although il prob be very bored!
Bet you cant wait! 7 days and you will be free haha where do you work if you dont mind me asking?

 

[babyslog]

Dont want to say the company as ive said how much i dont enjoy the place on here haha!
But its a office job/call centre, easy job.. but sat on my arse on a pc chair for 8hrs a day kills my hips! My keyboard is like on the edge of the desk so i can reach and type lol!

Hoping for 9 months off! xx

 

[Bonfire Bride]

I bet you cannot wait babyslog! Those last 7 days will soon fly by.

I also work in a banking/office (all day on your arse) job so understand. I'm only seconded to this place for 3 months but they have not been very helpful with making my work environment beneficial to me. My last role in a different office (same company) was the complete opposite and I had a desk assessment, special chair and a fire buddy (someone to roll me outside in case of fire)! It does make a huge difference. My manager would also tell me to get up and stretch my legs every hour or so...aww, I really miss it now.

Ladies, anytime you feel bored during your maternity leave running up to the birth...just remember how it feels to get up super early and waddle around work. I'm sure you'll start enjoying the boredom hehe xx Oh, and use the time to get plenty of rest before little ones arrive!

 

[kim88]

I think sometimes its more uncomfortable sitting than standing, i bet your crippled by the end of the day!
I can move about a lot in my job but im struggling up and down the stairs now lol people hate getting stuck behind me on the stairs when they are in a rush haha.
Hopefully you can have 9 months! I dont think 6 is enough they are still tiny

 

[kim88]

LOL @ roll you outside!! Yehh thats a point, get all the sleep possible while we can!!

 

[babyslog]

I hope i dont have to go back any sooner than the 9months!

And id rather be bored at home waiting for babas arrival than in work haha! I just constantly count down to home time every day im there atm!! xx

Ah girls oh hates me haha! I've seen a gorge pushchair I really want but we have already bought ours! We put it up last week and it's great, but I saw one ages ago I loved but it was just too expensive. Well now it's on offer, plus tesco direct have it even cheaper, and you can use tesco vouchers towards it, so if I sell my current one I could just about afford it?

Oh is straight forward telling me no, but im not giving up. So I've advertised ours for sale n will see what happens! Sneaky

I'm terrible! X

[tilly16]

There's an ongoing joke between my hubby and parents that I always change my mind, iv already decided I want to redecorate the nursery when we know if bubs is pink or blue think my dad is praying I don't change my mind on the pram as he's just bought us a bugaboo!! Luckily for him I love it, hope your feeling better soon Laura xxx

 

[lauralou]

It's hard tho isn't it cuz there's so much out there and babies take 9 months, so we are bound to change out minds on things! Haha x

And Thanku x I'm home now just resting and hoping food stays down! Work tomorrow morning and need the money so I better be sorted by then haha x

Im gutted.. i order beginning of April a Noahs Ark wall sticker from Ebay it was coming from the US.
Cost me £21! and its never arrived. They Seller has given me a refund but i was still hoping it would turn up as it was 1st class so its not like they can cancel the order..

But its mid May and still NOTHING!
I do have other bits in his nursery that show its a Noahs Ark theme but this was the main thing!
It was huge and it was going on his wall of the cot.. Gutted now! looks boring as hell, it was the only one i liked and all the Sellers are from bloody America!


OHs dad is an amazing artist but he had a moan about painting us an Ark with animals!! Huffed and puffed and said well i spose if i did one grand childs ill have to do the other but u can pay for the paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHARMING! So this is why i thought SOD IT ill get a wall sticker..

But looks like ill have to get him to paint it.. grrr!
