Shall I save you my boy baby clothes in case, or are you having all new? I keep thinking I should have another one to get proper use from the clothes...but am too old/skint/not enough bedrooms/DH won't!!

Morning! Am sat back at my work desk...doing enough just to keep on top of things naughty me.

Ohh grateful, if you're happy keeping hold of your boys stuff for me that would be great Are you ok storing it for a while longer? Only 9 weeks to find out if we're having a Mr or Miss

We haven't actually bought anything new for Smllet yet, its all second hand or been a gift

I guestimate we spent £100-£150 this Easter (including petrol) so while not a cheap weekend it was lovely and we did go spending in lakeland which is always dangerous.

Good old beans on toast for dinner tonight

I am happy to hang on, would rather give it to a person I "know" IYSWIM? Exciting, we were team yellow, were soo surprised he was a boy. Lovely surprise though.

I was pregnant with two friends all team yellow, it was great. We decided between us friend one boy, me boy, friend 3 girl. I had a girl the others had boys. So only got 1 out of 3 right. :rotfl:

I was convinced DD2 was a girl, but OH and my mum both convinced she was a 'he.' Going as far as a baby blue bedroom:rotfl:

I wasn't surprised at all, but my mum was hilarious when I phoned her to say I had had a girl. Could not believe it. :rotfl:

Team yellow is great, I was in team pink first time round as I wanted to know. It's nice having the 'surprise.'

And I'm back again Had a good time in Wales with friends, ate too much and went clay pigeon shooting! A good laugh all round.

8 weeks to go now (19 working days) Is it wrong that I'm really hoping for a girl while DH wants a boy? I'm sure when it comes we'll both be happy with whatever - I'd be happy with a puppy or cute duckling too :rotfl:

Have to work out how much we've spent this month now.....cue Jaws music...

Hiya smlsve,

Hope you are well, I'd be very happy with a cute duckling as well. I have 3 girls, 2 with same birthday but 3 yrs 5 mins apart and all with attitudes!

Corr, its been a week since I last posted!

May's spends weren't too bad actually We ended up with £5.50 left in the bank so I won't complain.

DH has bought himself a new camera though *rolls eyes* It takes HD short films and will be great for when the baby arrives - so I've been told;). I couldn't argue about it too much though as he'd actually saved for it himself but still *shakes head* we've just bought a car and the camera basically costs 1 months repayment on it.

Oh, the new car Its a silver ford focus which I'm picking up Friday and cost just under £7000. So we now owe Dad £6000 which I'm aiming to pay back in two years being £250p/m. Here's hoping DH gets a decent bonus in June to make it feasible.

Our old car shall be going on ebay and hopefully we'll get some pennies for it. I'm optomistic for £150-£200 after seeing what other cars are going for.

The living room has had one coat of paint and is due another on Thurs It looks really nice and fresh. Once that's finished I have to empty the study to convert it into a nursery as we've now picked up a cotbed

I've got a list longer than my arm to do but thought I wouldn't bore you with the whole thing Only 16 working days left :T
