what does every one have ready in there box, just making sure ive not missed any thing out

Maybe worth listing what you have them we others can notice what you have missed. :-)

Face clothes are great for drying the puppies off. I know a few people forget these.

Rolls of paper towel also great to have lying.

kitchen scales. Not pad and pen

Watch/clock.

Mobile phone with vets number already in it and number of a mentor of you have one even just to ask reassuring questions . 

Heat lamp or heat pad.

Bottle of detol. I tend to keep filling a bowl of hot ( kettle boiled) water with some detol for keeping my own hand clean as you are constantly washing them.

Something to mark the puppies with.

Book of the bitch at your side. ( sometimes just reassurance)

Thermometer

Baby scissors.

Nutrodrops or similar.

The list goes on

I've just been through this. My kit was:
large stack of old towels
stack of newspapers - you can't have too many
lidded bucket or small lidded dustbin (useful for any stillborns and for clearing waste later when mum and pups are in whelping box)
supply of black plastic bin bags
a holding/incubator box - a cardboard carton with top flaps makes a good one (line it with towels)
a hot water bottle or 2 litre plastic drinks bottle that can be wrapped in towels for pups to snuggle against in holding box
a heat pad for the whelping box - this was the thing I didn't have and really regret not having one in the first few days (saves having to refill hot water bottles every couple of hours)
large pack of kitchen rolls
surgical/baby disinfectant
bucket, scrubbing brush, nail brush, mild anti bacterial handwash, sponge  & cloths  to clean up bitch
baby wipes
petroleum jelly/KY jelly to lubricate bitch if necessary
sterile gloves
a clock (to time contractions)
torch and batteries (whelping inevitably happens at night)
a decent bright light over whelping box so you can see what you and bitch are doing
a note pad, pencil/pen
scales (to weigh pups)
mobile phone with vets & vets emergency phone nos
whelping box
old large sheet/blanket to drape over whelping box to create cave atmosphere and keep out drafts (you may also need something to hold this up)
several vet beds to fit box (at least 4)
dog safety gate if you need to close off area

Just in case supplies:
bitch milk replacement
colostrum replacement
puppy feeding bottles, cleaning and sterilisation equipment
bach rescue remedy (can be used on self, mum and pups)

For yourself
a comfortable chair
a cot/mattress with bedding (I had to sleep by the whelping box for 6 night prior to and after the birth)
a kettle, (can also be used to warn water for hot water bottle), mug, tea, coffee, etc.
Chocolate and other energy giving supplies - it could be a long day/night
reading material (for waiting period)

I think that's about everything. If I've fogotten anything, I'm sure others will add to this post.

Watch the bitch carefully. I didn't see any contractions from girl. After sitting with her all day, I went down for a cuppa and some food - was away approx 20 mins and came back and there was a pup! Thankfully mum had delivered it in the right place. Talk about a watched bitch never whelping! Good luck.

The above plus:

Coloured elastic collars for puppy identification

Veterinary Nutridrops / Col-late P/B
Calciboost D
Dopram V

Heat lamp - it dries the atmosphere and I wouldn't use one with a small breed / whelping box but with a big whelping box it can be placed over one corner allowing that corer to be warm for the pups and the the overall room temperature to be lower for the bitch. When I use a heat lamp I drape a wet towel over the side of the whelping box next to it.

A room thermometer attached to the inside of the whelping box at puppy level.

Pocket dictaphone for weights times etc (too many unreadable, mucky pages scrawled when pups were arriving fast)

Camera / video camera

Book of the Bitch - it's always worth one more read

A husband (emergency driver).

I know someone and because the breed that they were having came with different markings, she drew puppy shapes on different pieces of paper and as the puppies were born she drew what markings they had on the templates. This way she could keep track of the different puppies. But having a dictaphone is a really good idea

Jas, love the emergency driver. My hubby was like a slave..

As well as the holding box, have another ready, just in case your girl gets too tired to push out a puppy or two and a visit to the vet is necessary for a jab to help her along - you will need a box for the puppy which will invariably be born in the car!

Running thorough my Kit:

Whelping box, with heat lamp over, oldish (but clean) vet bed inposition for the birth.  New vet bed to change to once everything finished.

Heated bed to put new borns in.  Lined with clean towel

Supply of further clean towels (hand towel size I find best, not too big to get in the way.  Asda do great cheapy ones for 80p)

Crate ready in car for bitch, with puppy size crate4 & hot water bottle on hand for pup transport, in case of emergency.

Diesel in car tank!

Scales (with working batteries) note pad, pen, clock, phone, kitchen roll, bin bags, nail varnish to ID pups.

In kit box:   Therometer, scissors, forceps, diaoralyte/lectade, glucose, selection of feeding bottles and teats, self heating pouch ( to pop puppy in if have to bring back from vets), spare heat lamp bulb.

Supply of carnation milk & eggs to make up milk replacement formula.

Torches with batteries fully charged and calor gas heater (just in storeage for stand by in case of power cut - it happened once to me!)
