Bluecrane yep, leg cramps a plenty here, usually only during the night and when I get up in the morning. My current coping strategy is to have a nice warm bath in the evening, stretch legs before bedtime and drink oodles of water during the day and evening, and although this means I get up to pee 3 times a night it seems to be working :) I also make sure I have salt on my food, as it can be an indication of low salt levels, bananas are a really good source of magnesium/potassium, but I haven't been able to eat them since I was a baby, just the thought of them makes me want to boak! To help ease cramp you need to extend the muscle ie: flex your toes towards your knees if it's in your calf. The other night I had it in my hamstring AND my shin muscle at the same time, so had to massage to try and release tension, took 10 minutes for it to ease up, not fun...
Sircharles I had a look at that pelvic floor exerciser, seems like a good idea, but not at £90 PLUS P&P!!! I do them when I remember, but can't be arsed to make any special effort. I think after baby is born I'll be more conscious of trying to get things back to normal down there, I guess it makes sense to do them when feeding the baby as there's not much else going on for that time :o
On the lady garden front, I have a trimmer (bit like clippers for head hair but smaller!) so am going to endeavor to do something down there, as apparently it does make life easier for the MWs to see what's going on, and although they will have seen all sorts before (especially round here) I'm a bit 
about leaving a complete jungle! May try and rope DH in, but don't really thing he'll be up for it.
Cewafwb glad the house is progressing, rubbish news about the school :( and 
I really hope it gets resolved asap for you, have a 
and 
and put your feet up for a minute (I'm sure the old lady would approve)! My DH keeps on about moving back to Australia (we lived there for a year) but I need to get through 4 exams in the next year to qualify as an accountant and apply for the residents visa which takes 18 months, plus it means being 1000s of miles away from any free babysitters, so I'm hoping I can distract him for a while with the fun of a new baby. He may feel differently when he realises we wont have Granny & Grandad around to help out when needed!
Apologies for the mammoth post, I'm finally on my laptop, so less hassle than on the phone and I can write more! Oooh, one last question for the 2+ timers - can you still feel the baby moving/kicking etc between contractions when you're in labour? Slightly random question, but just popped into my head the other day
