    Still enjoying reading this thread!

    I have some good news. My wife and I are expecting a little one! She's 13 weeks pregnant so due middle of May. My parents are up this weekend so we are going to redecorate our dining room, then literally just hall stairs and landing and new internal doors to finish the house! :)

    Another de-lurk from me - CONGRATULATIONS!!
