Uhuru sells Floradix and it does taste slightly less of watery blood as far as I recall - but then it's been a while since I had it (I took multivitamins designed specially for pregnancy & therefore inevitably pink, the buggers).
Go you on getting the house in order! Don't worry too much about the toddler-proof-ing as you have a fair amount of time before you need all that in place - ours is massively un-toddler-proofed still. Even a cot is not crucial at first unless you mean a space for a cot in your room.
When I went back for my KIT days I was pleasantly surprised to find that my brain did indeed still work properly as before, and I could remember what I had been doing before!
PS work's payroll had this helpful suggestion - I don't know whether it applies to all companies but it might do - that if you're planning on doing a couple of KIT days in a short space of time you should try to do them in the same week. This is because the payroll calculation goes: * daily rate x number of days worked as KIT minus * SMP rate for the week(s) in which you had a KIT day.
So if you have two KIT days in the same week you get one lot of SMP deducted, but if you have two KIT days in consecutive weeks you get two lots of SMP deducted.
