Aussie welcome to my life.... I've now written c. 16,000 words but probably have another 6ish plus figures to do in the next fortnight. So I can erm, have some time off once it's done.... apart from the big presentation I have to do! :s It is quite an incentive though.
Cherry hopefully your mum will get better soon; at least you offered to look after the LO's.... if she says she's OK to then there's not alot you can do.
Vix I forgot to say congrats on the breast feeding decision. You've decided to try to do your best and that's all that anyone can ask for. I'm now kitted up with a breast pump to hopefully make the whole breast feeding thing easier; maybe once you've got going investing in one might be a plan so as to allow your DH to take some of the slack with the feeding?
(BTW anyone thinking about ordering the medela swing pump from John Lewis - don't. I'm now on to my third delivery as the seal on the box was broken on the previous two, the boxes bashed and the contents dirty. Yuk. And they won't send me pump number three until number two has been received back at the warehouse.... boo! They tend to be quite good on the compensation front though so maybe I'll get some vouchers.)
MrsZac how are you doing my dear? I'm still waiting for my pillow to be delivered from M&P (same one you have) really hoping it comes in stock soon as my back ache is getting beyond a joke... I only ordered it from M&P in the first place so that I could use the opportunity of paying postage to get some of the other stuff I wanted!
Is anyone getting a nursing chair? I've decided we really need one, and my Mum has very kindly said she'll get it for my birthday (yay!) but most of them are hideous aren't they??? The only one I vaguely like is the Kensington one JL stock. Also on the nursery front I've just ordered some samples of light grey paint... as DH has finally given in and said that he'll get rid of the hideous peach the previous owners had in the nursery -to-be! Yay!
