Any ideas please - not really horsey...

I'm 8 months pregnant and have 2 weeks left at work before christmas and maternity leave... here full time, absolutely exhausted and feel like dropping off to sleep at any moment. I have some holiday time i could take but the house is full of plumbers sorting out the bathroom and there's no point in going home and trying to relax and sleep! I can go to the yard and potter with the ponies or go for a slow plod but that doesn't take all day and doesn't really achieve the 'getting some sleep' objective. My parents are too far away and there's no one whose house I can borrow locally! Any thoughts on how I can get some rest without suffering the bangs, crashes and loud music from the damn plumbers?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Why dont you book in for the day at a Travel Lodge locally. They have some really really cheap offers and you could sleep all day in total peace. Sounds great , think i might do it!

What about a day at a spa eg Nirvana near Reading - I used to be a member - you can laze all day on the loungers by the pool, they supply magazines and newspapers or they have a quiet room, dimly lit with heated ceramic loungers

how about going for a massage? or like finkle, a £20ish room ata hotel with pay per view and a big box of milk trays and froffy hot chocolate from the hotel café? when will the plumbers be gone? i sympathise with you greatly. poor you
