That's it really. How long have you got left? I finish 4 weeks today and could quite happily finish now Smile

Ooooh exciting!!! That's not long! 10 weeks and 3 days for me. I feel like it's gonna fly though

Final day today!! Suddenly come around really quickly and can't quite believe it's time to have a baby! Enjoy your final weeks.

I've just got today and October. Last day is Halloween. Maternity Cover starts on Monday so we have a whole month handover!

3 WEEKS AND 5 DAAAAAAYS!!!!!!!

3 weeks today! I am soooo ready.

Sjb10 · 28/09/2018 09:27

I finish for mat leave in 4 weeks but I randomly have a week off when I finish today then come back for 3 weeks. Cannot wait!! I haven't even had the smallest urge to start nesting so hoping that will start when work is all done Grin Grin

usernotfound0000 · 28/09/2018 09:37

3 weeks today here too, and very ready!

WinterBabyIsComing · 28/09/2018 11:09

Finishing today .. thought this day would never come!

antipodeanjo · 28/09/2018 11:23

One week and 5 days 😀😀😀

sittingonacornflake · 28/09/2018 11:29

Jumping on where I'm probably not allowed but I'm 8 weeks into mat leave so on the countdown for going back. But using annual leave to extend to the end of March. Phew!!

sittingonacornflake · 28/09/2018 11:29

Sorry 8 months not 8 weeks!

overagain · 28/09/2018 11:38

12 weeks exactly. My last day was supposed to be Flexi but I've been called to court (expect witness) so no chance of getting that day off now!

Stargirl90 · 28/09/2018 11:45

4 weeks today for me too! And so ready for it

Emelene · 28/09/2018 13:10

I've got 4.5 days left! Taking annual leave then official mat leave. I'm really excited about it! Grin

Fevertree · 28/09/2018 13:13

After today I have three weeks left at work and then 9 days 'til baby is due 😊

Fevertree · 28/09/2018 13:14

User and hammering snap! 🎉 How long until your babies are due?

ChortleFace88 · 28/09/2018 13:16

6 weeks today! Grin

hammeringinmyhead · 28/09/2018 13:28

My due date is mid Nov so three weeks after I finish work. I don't think I'll be able to comfortably drive my commute much later than 37 weeks.

moomoo85 · 28/09/2018 14:22

My first day is three weeks today

Italianshark · 28/09/2018 16:26

4 weeks for me too! Last day 26th October.

Anyone got a countdown on their desktop?!?! hahaha

MJK123 · 28/09/2018 16:59

I have five and a half weeks left. My job is very demanding and I can't wait to finish!

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 28/09/2018 18:58

I finished today. I'm so relieved! Have felt as though I was crawling towards the finish line for the past 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to 'nesting', getting my hair done and putting my feet up for a bit.

eandoauntie · 28/09/2018 19:04

8 weeks tomorrow- because of my job I chos to start maternity leave at the first opportunity- im counting down now.
