Or you could just not hoover fab?! 
Button - very
about you having family with property in the Dordogne. DP's parents have a place in the Vendee which isn't quite as nice imo but its still France! However it was a small bungalow with attached barn which they are converting, they sold the bungalow last year so now its a huge barn with windows and loads of potential but not ready for staying in yet!
Cara - when I was pg with ds1 I spent 4 months in a B&B with dd (aged 2.8 when we moved out) so couldn't potty train her as there was only one shared toilet and it wasn't my carpet to let her pee all over!! And I only moved out 3 weeks before ds was born. When ds was about a month old and dd was about 2.10 we went into town and her nappy was rubbing her thighs but I had forgotten to take a spare so just had to take it off and leave her without and that was that - no accidents and she never wore another daytime nappy!! I think there is a lot to be said for leaving it as late as possible!
Mitchell - I do have moments thinking what the hell am I doing! All 3 of mine will be in school from Sept so it shouldn't be too hard but it is going to be very manic at times I expect. And 4 children just seems like an awful lot, 3 is only slightly more than 2 but 4!! And there is also a little bit of me that thinks I'm mad for giving myself another 4 years of toddler/babyhood to deal with, I've been doing it for nearly 11 years solid already
But mostly I am just really excited about doing it all again 
I am 5'5 but have size 7 feet (they used to be 8 but have shrunk over the last few years
). My dc have been 8lb, 8lb5 and 8lb13.5 so I'm expecting a 9+lber this time!! They are also all quite long and have big heads! I think ds1 was the shortest but only because he has stumpy legs like his daddy, his body is quite long!! 
Although I'm wondering if this one might come early now, BH are now all through the day and night and the pain is tops of thighs and lower back rather than just evening and lower tummy like they were. He is also most definitely lodged right down in my pelvis, walking and moving now quite uncomfortable (on top of the PGP). But I suspect really this is all just to torment me and get my hopes and he will still be late! And I have suddenly got massive, everyone I speak to tells me so! And, unless they know otherwise, they assume I am term and are gobsmacked when they learn I'm not due till end of June! I might be offended but I am also pretty gobsmacked at my own size when I catch sight of myself!!
Confuddled - I will be 35 weeks on Thursday
Its gone from feeling like I have ages to go to thinking OMG I'm gonna have a baby soon! Especially considering its half term next week which will fly by and then when they go back to school I will have only just over 3 weeks to go!
Gah, another HUGE post, what is wrong with me?!?
I think its the lack of socialising due to just being exhausted/in pain all the time so I'm missing out on a lot of my RL nattering!
Last quick bit of news - we bought a new car today
Well, new to us, is 56 plate. Have traded in the FRV cos it was horrid to drive and got a very lovely S-max - its sooo much better. I am very happy and not thinking about the fact that I've spent money I can't really afford
