Default I should be packing boxes...

....for our move.... but I'm knackered. I had taken several car loads of stuff to the new house this morning and then straight after lunch we took DS to a friends house, he is staying there all night....feels strange to not have him here but apparently he is having a great time with his partner in crime. This afternoon we painted......and painted...... this evening we painted...... we had chinese for tea and then back to the house again to hoover and clear away... I've just packed 4 more boxes and I'm ruddy knackered now..... I hate moving house. I have more boxes to make up (kept from when we moved out here).... and after this post I best get to it.... dunno when I'll be back online as we have yet to find a desk for the computers.....(this one came with the rental house)..... have fun everyone.... I certainly wont!! :scared:

Good luck, Sarah B and family.

I should be packing too, I've got two weeks before I leave for NZ and whatever I don't get sorted my hubby will do (he is staying behind to clear-up) and I can see him omitting my best china and bringing his stash of car/boat magazines.

So if I could 'move away from this forum' and get on with it I would...........but I can't!!

You poor thing, its hard enough when not pregnant, just try to take it easy and have a break whenever you can.
I hope it goes as smoothly as possible and look forward to hearing the news when you are sorted with the computer
Take care,

Hiya guys..... have missed you all!! Have moved house OK (ended up with horrendous back pain though... my fault!! )..... the internet has literally just been connected. I will pop on later when nipper is asleep to catch up with you all.

We love our new house, we are surrounded by gorgeous trees and theres plenty of room.... will say more later.

One bit of news I HAVE to tell you is that we had the 20 wk scan yesterday and our son is going to get a SISTER!! Yes, its a dinky little girl and everything looks ok so far... I am still a bit in shock....

Look on the bright side - I moved house 11 weeks before I was due with my 3rd, settled down for our first nite in the new house - famous last words as I went to bed about looking forward to sleeping in our big bed and then ended up giving birth on my own in the bath 2 hours later!!

When the paramedics did arrive I had to suffer the humiliation of them going through our packing boxes looking for pants. Holding up a lacey thong which said paramedic declared inappropriate was one of my funnier memories!!

Moved at 6 mths pregnant the next time - went near enough full term but still managed a 42 minute labour!!

Knowing the paramedic mentality, as do, why does'nt that supprise me, and an ambulance late, never, don't believe it, not on nights

Congrats Sarah, big cheesey grins (well, probably apart from Danny who got wrong make). Looks like there's still a few in the running for guess the weight!
