    Mrs Wade 2 Be the due date is two weeks on Saturday, but he could in theory come any day, as I'm passed the 37 week mark which is the start of full term. Anything from 37-42 weeks is classed as full-term. There's no significant anything happening yet, and I'd like another week, but I'm quite keen for him to arrive before the due date. I'm starting to get what I think are Braxton Hicks, not painful but definite tightenings. I think he's moved down a bit as well, as it feels sometimes like his head is pressing on my pelvis.

    Just called J's nursery to say i wont be sending her the rest of the week, and cancelled her next two swimming lesson as she not really much better at all (though doesn't seem to be getting worse either so that's a plus). I'm glad work has let me take last years holidays at the end of my MAT leave, as technically I was back at work yesterday - this wouldn't have been the best way to go back!

    I've also had to cancel a trip to a dress boutique on Thursday - I'm really hoping the can rearrange for next week as I was looking forward to it,

    That is good Wundatigga (the annual leave that is). The official HR line at my work is that you can't carry annual leave over even for maternity leave, but my line manager has said to both me and my colleague that if we couldn't use all our annual leave before maternity leave we could still take it. I'm using the last of mine now, so provided little boy doesn't come before Friday I will be fine. My colleague however simply couldn't use all of hers in time, so she will carry over some of hers to next year.

    Well I had the luxury (read as complication) of taking my mat leave exactly on the tax and holiday year 6 April 15- 4 April 16 - so had no opportunity to take my accrued annual leave, so my employers have HAD to let me take them! They did actually let me take 4 days before my MAT leave due to me really struggling with sciatica and to actually fit behind the wheel of my car!

    I'm sure I read something (when researching my options)where they have to let you carry so many over if you are unable to take it due to maternity, as long as it does not got over 2 holiday years - but it is has to be immediately before or immediately after your mat leave.

    I think there is supposed to be some provision for extenuating circumstances, so if my baby was born this week while I'm still on annual leave I would ask to carry the remaining days over. My colleague is being allowed to because our line manager said she couldn't cope with her being off for three or four weeks. Our leave year runs with the academic year, and Christmas is given as extra, so it's perfectly feasible to get to Easter without using much leave.

    I gave up on Neighbours about 10 years ago Mrs M. Was it good, all I saw was that someone would die on the episode but to be honest it looked the same as many other episodes with a big disaster.

    Pain in the bum day at work. Lots of issues to sort out with flights being cancelled at the last minute and changes being made etc.
    Stayed until 630 and had 25 mins at dinner, I got home and was ready to drop. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

    He mellowed in the last few years and was great fun in the end......

    Woke up to go to the loo and was checking FBook. First status I saw was my twin brother saying he was in A & E after a seizure. He says ECG and bloods are normal and he's waiting for CT results. They've taken his driving licence away for a year. He and his wife only have one car between them but I'm pretty sure he normally drives to work. I've had fitting a couple of times when I've fainted but nothing like this. I did have an ECG on one occasion but not in hospital, and there's never been an issue with me driving. Good thing too as my husband doesn't drive.

    Apparently all tests are clear and they got home about 3:30. He's got to have a follow-up in outpatients. Apparently this was a full seizure, rather than fitting in a faint which his wife and I have both experienced, but it could just be a one-off. I think he's more bothered about not being able to drive for a year.

    LO is stressing me out already. I've asked him 4 times to tidy all his toys away so I can Hoover up and still hasn't done it

    He got told off at nursery yesterday as he kept smacking other children whilst they were all sat at the table eating their dinner so he got put on a table by himself

    I've just come in the bedroom out the way to see if he actually tidies up without being able to see me and he's stood outside the door shouting mummy cuddle

    My brother can't be that ill, he's desperate to get back to work. He even said he would work from home today if his wife would let him. He's being scolded from all sides and told he'd better stay home and rest, particularly given we don't know why it happened yet.

    I estimated a size 12. Apparently he now has a "slinky little pink number" with a matching cardigan and necklace.. Nice!!! I was worried they were going to make him dress up in the evening as he hates stuff like that and I know he didn't want this to be like your typical lad's stag do.. but my uncle's said it will be something for breakfast the next morning, lol.

    The consultant has told my brother not to go back to work yet so he has to listen. The concern is that we don't know why it happened. Until he knows the trigger so he can avoid it, it could well happen again. Everyone is telling him to take it easy, and I think he is reluctantly accepting that he has to.

    We didn't manage to get the date set in stone until really close. Our buyer proposed a date which we and our sellers agreed to, but the solicitors took so long to get everything done that our buyer started faffing about and asking for a delay. We finally exchanged contracts and confirmed the date a week and a half before we moved.
