    I meant talking about it with him, you lot are welcome to talk to me about it all.

    I really should have got rid of the overdraft last month as only took it out for the New York trip but am glad its gone.

    Hey Dawn,

    Its awful that his decided he doesnt want children, but we cant predict the furture he may change his mind. Im not sure how i would react if my OH felt like that, its a hard situation to be in im sure when you love him.

    I think he should think about you not just how he feels, you've been together for a long time now, it should be give and take. Has he always said he has wanted children since you've been together and only just changed his mind? Or have you only just recently started talking about children?

    Hi,

    Glad you are going to try and work things out. Who knows what will happen in the future but definitely worth a shot!

    I am hopefully going to have enough to redeem on Bingo port today too.

    Its just now he has said that he doesn't want them and isn't sure if he will, we did always talk about it but not seriously.

    I am wondering if I have made the right decision but only time will tell :o

    Yeah you will see in time! Worth a go though if you love him.

    Been having a think this morning and this might not be a bad thing after all, I still have things that I want to do, like go to Australia and see where Nick was born in Sydney and my namesake too and I also want to try and do a safari, these are things I could do with a child but would be easier without.

    The only thing about Australia is that I would like to go for a month so we could travel around but work wouldn't let me take that off even if it was unpaid just because its such a small company, Nicks company would let him take a few months unpaid its not fair. :o

    Could probably go for 3 weeks but that would have to happen over Christmas as one girl did that when she went to Africa but its bloody expensive for flights then!

    I was thinking of going to Australia before I changed the trip to New York.

    Getting excited now about the things we could do :) Need something postive to look forward too as well as maybe owning my own home

    Better carry on with all this money making though!

    Morning hun thats such a good idea.

    Having a child is a fab thing but it brings with it limitations. DD is brilliant on planes but the max she and I can deal with together is about 4 hours :rotfl:only so much drawing you can do in a confined space lol

    LOL.

    Having other things to focus on will help me though, just been having a look on ticketmaster too to see if any comedy gigs or anything like that we can do for smaller things to look forward too but all the gigs i like are sold out :o

    Saving for the house is still the main priority though.

    I must get back into Dooyoo this week, I requested my check on Tuesday night hoping it arrives soon as looking forward to pay it into my ISA :)

    Should get some pennies from quidco and topcashback next week too, OH's games sold on ebay but after fees, paypal fees and postage hes only made about £30 but hes letting me keep that from what he owes me.

    He only owes me £90 now but £435 on his credit card, he is doing overtime today though for £50 which he is going to pay off the card, his car tax is due end of July though, I will pay half as he drives me round but that will probably go on his card too!

    Sounds like a great idea and something you couldn't do with a child. Sometime to work towards as well.

    I would love to go over as my best friend has moved there for 6 months and I reckon it might be permanent as her boyfriend lives there.

    Feeling a bit !!!!!!_e tonight about the whole baby thing.

    Was with my good friend whos pregnant today helping her find maternity clothes, am really happy for her but everywhere I looked I saw children all around, I don't know how long I am going to last with OH.

    Thought I was strong enough to cope but don't think I am.
