[sweetcheeks85]

Wow Tinkabells ure putting us all to shame now with ure super organised spreadsheet!! I thought I was doing well with a list on word that Id cut and pasted from somewhere

Hmmmm I havent really thought bout toys the only thing on my list would be a cot mobile and maybe one of the spirally things u could put on the handle of the car seat but apart from that it hadnt really entered my head either.

Hope use have all been keeping well!! Sorry I havent been on in a couple of days but ive been working and SLEEPING

Only 12 days to my scan ladies, im so excited

 

[tinkabells]

Haha na i dont put ya to shame, im just a weirdo, i always work with spreadsheets cos im sad and like to see how good i am doing, bit of self praise haha

Yeah i got a things like the mobile and stuff for the pram and car seat, but didnt think of anything else as she wont be able to do anything with it!!

Awww i got my health check scan on monday!! And i'll also ask hospital to confirm she is a little girl haha!!
Awww im so excited for you, i dont know how you've waited until you find out!!! xxx

Hiya girls, thats all i keep doing - lists! We are storing all the stuff over OH's mums house for now, but i've kept the clothes here so i can keep an eye on what i got... and make a list...

I wont be buying toys to be honest, like you said i'm just using a cot mobile and the thing for the car seat handle!

Them 12 days will fly by now hun! xx

 

[sweetcheeks85]

Its getting harder and harder as the days go on!! I keep refering to my bump as him though I really dont know why so i ll be mega shocked if its not a BOY. I just wanna know that everything is ok aswell.

Yeah I totally agree, dont think a newborn needs any toys to be honest.

Good luck for Monday doll. Give me a txt and let me know how u get on.

Hows things been with the Dad and that? You dont need to go into detail just wanna know if everything is ok x x

 

[tinkabells]

I'm a list queen, but i've been looking at things on ebay as well, that are brand new never been used, and seeing if things are cheaper on there than in the shops

wow ladies u guys seem to have gotten it all, i havent even gotten a sleepsuit. i intend to go shopping much later though, but i guess i could start shopping from now. i live on a very titte budget so i try as much as possible not to get carried away! it must be a real chore having to hold in theimpatience about finding out baby's sex! dnt worry though it'll be worth the wait when u see him/her!

 

[sweetcheeks85]

it must be a real chore having to hold in the impatience about finding out baby's sex! dnt worry though it'll be worth the wait when u see him/her!

TBH its not just about finding out the sex I really need this scan for reassurance that Pee Wee is doing ok and is healthy. I totally take my hat off to anyone who can go through their whole pregnancy with just one scan. I guess worrying is in my nature!! Finding out the sex will be an added bonus especially when I know he/she is healthy.

We have just been just been buying bits and bobs here and there to spread the cost a bit as OH got made redundant just before xmas so he is only in temporary employment at the moment. Im not worrying though, we will get by all the same, somehow u always manage to x x x

 

[tinkabells]

Hiya girlies,

Hows it going?! Well work stressing me out big time, but i've come to the conclusion, i am not worrying about them anymore, i cant be bothered to waste my time and engergy trying to hit my target each month when they just worm there way out of it all..

But on the plus, i got my TT seriliser in Tesco for £14.64 its the microwave one and comes with 2 anit colic bottles, a dummy and the cleaning thing!!
On friday gonna get my pump from there aswell which is £16 something and its the electric one!!

[ames_x]

Hiya hun!

Work is getting to me to, your not the only one! It seems asif everyone is just stupid or trying to wind me up

woo hoo good deals hun! Im slightly annoyed at the moment, think the little guy is lying on my bladder and feel as if im gunna pee myself, i go to the toilet and a tinyyyyy bit comes out

On the plus - pay day friday and bank holiday xxx

 

[tinkabells]

Lol i hate the little pee's if feels like i've got buckets full to release and then a little piddle comes out hahaha

Yeah got some good deals, just bit by bit, oh dont work pissed me off with my pay, but im not going to let them stress me!! I just gotta watch what i spend this month!! xxx

 

[morayo]
