My poor house ..... it's all soo dusty. Spent almost all day there today and only managed to get one room clean, am sure DH thinks I am going over the top
Have said to DH that I'm thinking about taking all the mat leave I'm entitled to. It means I'll really have to get back on track with money saving -I've been useless lately.Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck

Boss wasn't available at work to talk to so will try again.
Have decided to put house on market in Spring as we missed September and have discussed another baby (already you say!) and have decided to think about it in a couple of years - translation: DH has put off talking about it till then and I'll have to convince him all over again)
