Default How do you cope in those last few days?

EDD is looming ever closer and the pressure seems to be increasing. Still not packed everything yet but slowly getting there. So much to do it seems!

I find myself laying awake at night when I should fast alseep, stomach churning and my mind racing. NOt getting much sleep as a result and seem to have a constant headache!

How did you manage in those last few days before departure?

You'll be ok. You have made it this far so just go with the flow.

It is hard, i know. You could always change your mind (but i know you don't want to do that)

Me and hubby are odd. We were quite relaxed about it. And we don't drink often so it wasn't that. Can't say the same for our eldest but she made up for the rest of us

Sorry to jump into your thread but saw someone was online recently and needed a little help, panicking a little at the moment as I have contacted a company to collect and send our applic:curse:ation off today and then have just read that the cost goes up on the first of July for the applications. I have just contacted them and they said that they can't get it there until Monday do you know anyone that can get it there before Monday I'm using DHL?

thanks
Helen
