I would suggest some sort of work, whether it be from home as another member suggested, or some volunteer work, I know the Salvos are always looking for people to work the till at the local op shops. You will feel very humbled and useful doing something like that, without it being too strenuous.
Have a weekly routine e.g. Monday vacuum, tues clean bathroom, etc and you will find you don't have to do many chores a day and will end up with a gleaming house.
A great thing to do which im currently doing is checking all you and your boyfriends mail/documents have the correct addresses, bills paid up to date, memberships paid up, etc, cause that's stuff u can forget/be to busy to do once baby arrives. You can even get a calendar and mark off when each and every thing is due eg boyfriends car rego, licence renewal, phone/utilities bills, tax returns etc.
Perhaps I am OCD but I just find having absolutely everything written down makes me feel I have everything in control, even if everything else seems to be crazy around me! Good luck x
1. Sort out all your photos! Whether on your computer or in shoeboxes somewhere, now's the time to sort them out and write a little caption of who/where/when etc. You'll probably start taking heaps of your new little one and all the old ones will be forgotten in the past, and one day your child will ask you about the old ones and you won't be able to remember!
2. Upload all your CD's onto iTunes and sort them out into playlists etc.
I should take some of my own advice as I'm not working either and still have months to go!
If your crafty you could start making stuff for your babies room. scrapbooking (ive been doing this with only photos i want to display on the wall - its not as boring) declutter your house as you will find it harder to do once baby arrives.
get creative in the kitchen. I really enjoy baking and cake decorating. you could also cook some new and exciting meals.
