    Gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. I wouldn't mind one, but I think we should aim to be MF first. :rotfl:

    It didn't cost as nearly as much as that one! :D Although that was the price tag that DH had in mind so he was pleasantly surprised when I chose the cheapest one I liked ;) Not sure why he was surprised - I always spend less than he thinks.

    Lovely weather here but i won't get to play out in it as the house is a tip and I'm having my first taxi ride with DS today. Wish me luck!

    P.S. You're not the only one who has an eternity ring as a wedding ring Brodie :D A few of the girls I meet up for coffee with chose the same sort of style.

    bling! bling! bling! oh sorry ...... I'm blinded by all my new sparkles :rotfl:

    The taxi ride went well but sooo expensive for a short trip - £12 for a round trip that was less than 6 miles. Am glad I did it so that I'm not stuck if I need to get anywhere.

    Think I might try and go for a nap now.

    Cheaper than a second car though?

    I have my sunglasses on, to save me from the sparkles!

    Long time no see!

    Well the bathroom is now a shell and we've been living at the IL's for almost a week now. The bathroom looks like it's going to be costing us under £1500 which I'm happy with. Apparently the house is an absolute tip and DH is going to tidy it up a bit before we move back in.

    Its been nice having the extra help with Jacob but there's nothing like home :) he's soo big now and rolled over for the first time this week! :D He's been fed, changed and even massaged - and is fighting sleep as hard as he can.

  • I have to agree, theres no where quite like home. You will love it as soon as you get back.

    Make sure you have a long soak in your new bath.
