Oh Hetty, hope all goes well and you get the all clear tomorrow. Good to hear they are keeping a close eye on you though. And well done for treating it as a run through!
Joskar, sounds pretty rubbish, but then I hate and totally disagree with using orthotics (as an archaeologist I'm obviously well placed to say this [hmmm]) but im pretty sure they shouldn't make yr feet hurt more!? Rubbish about the shoes, but if they let you get out and about that must be a good thing?
As for drying nappies, a dehumidifier should do the trick I place of a dryer/central heating. They are quite cheap but amazing and keep the humidity down across the house if you can control. One room with washing in.
Badguider. Phone the nct shop. There is a field on the order form named special instructions or something, just put the due date and required delivery date in and that should do it ... I'll let you know if ours turns up next week by accident!
On the diabetes front, dont worry too much, from physiologists i know all preggo women have it to a degree. I've had serious sugar crashes (apple tart induced) but easily treatable with less sugary food! Or a steady stream of chocolate 
no, seriously, once you get your head around what causes and fixes it it is easily manageable.
Ion our tour of the birth centre was good. Other ladies were all past 36 weeks though!? I like the way it is very active birth, low intervention and drug focussed and all midwife run. They have three pools and rooms without pools, and the medical delivery suite is just downstairs. All seems ok, but scary, but alright. Will still try to investigate home birth though I think, as I don't fancy a night in hospital with the new baby and without dh ... Although I think he quite liked the thought of getting a good nights rest post birth before we came home!
God im tired ... Been awake for two hours, can't see how im going to go back to sleep now it is light outside and the birds are already tweeting a dawn chorus! Aaaggghhh
