I get ctc - spill the broccolli..................I mean banana's .............I mean beans

I kick myself almost every day because of the debt I am in and its all self induced etc - not much of a decent mummy really to get us into so much debt - me not you

Um red hair, lots of freckles and I am translucent

I think I might be Mrs Weasley's scottish cousin

But think I just quickly read that sproglets have to be under 4 so you would need to have another baby to get them, not very MSE!!

I am really annoyed with myself as I consolidated last year and cleared all of my CCs with my egg loan. Then a few months down line OH lost job and things like his mortgage and both car repairs had to go onto a CC and wo there how did that happe back to square one with CCs and now a loan to boot.

You guys weren't to know - you are doing brilliantly.

Another sproggie

Not ruling it out - OH wants one I am on the 'um' side of the fence at the moment. I thought Oh no I am too old but having researched it abit the risks aren't that much more than normal. (sort of) - am still thinking and OH is still gently nudging.

Bit of an extreme way to get some fruit and veg though.

You can buy his milk with the money it says - that will help

Have another baby is on my 101 list (hows yours coming on by the way?) as you say bit drastic way to get some grapes tho :rotfl::rotfl:
They classed me as an older mum at 28 which is a bit ridiculous really.

Just remembered that 60 odd year old had a baby so you have a good many years to make your decision!!

My list is slow - just like my brain - another long night ahead writing.

I had baby 1 (rat boy) at 26 and baby two (nutthead) at 28 - and yeah i was an older mother then as well

Easy if I get bumped from PhD - baby
If I don't get dumped from PhD - think more and look seriosuly into logistics of it with maternity leave as its written in my contract - bit of a long way to go for an extension.
Or think more have 1 1/2 years left of this if I stay so thats some thinking time

OH is a bit pushy but he also can't decide either if he wants to lose his freedom - my two kids act as good surrogates for him. He's 39 and no kids - so he's not 100% sure he wants the committment of a family.

Think he'd be happy if we had an accident. But knowing how hard it is to have a family - they are best planned.

Mum at 60 - um no ta

Babies are definately best planned although a situation is always what you make of it IYSWIM?
Pip was planned but not!! We had decided to try for a baby but managed to conceive the FIRST time we tried, what are the odds!!! We thought we would have to wait ages.

I rang the Estate Agents today and they are coming to value the flat on 27th so this weekend will see a mad scramble to get it ready!!

Just done Pinecone survey on Choccie (a subject in which I know nothing ) so thats some vouchers winging their way to me.
Also reached £10 on bingo scratchee so all good.

Off to Library for a free peruse and walk, catch up later x x x

hi, from a Mrs Weasley wannabe. I've been searching for your diary for ages, didn't realise you were still on the normal board.
I'm taking great interest in how you're doing cos OH want's a baby and i've said we have to save up to cover the drop in maternity pay first (i'm by far the highest earner so will be a fair old drop with my debts)
How's little Pip doing? i remember hanging around for him to arrive.

ratboy was planned on the whole - ok lets try - 4 weeks later we had a confirmed bumplet
I am hideously fertile it would seem

Often thought of it as a career - having babies - I love the pregnant bit and all that nonsense.

Waves to LT - yeah she's 'special' and hides on the proper board.:)

I hadnt planned dd as Id been told in my mid tweenties that it would be unlikely idhave kids without help.

A few miscarriages, one of those things, as id had treatment in 2000 for pre-cancerous cells got told not to get pregnant till i'd had my 3 follow up smears ( i hate them), espically as I was on 6 mth recalls, met my ex, he told me he couldnt have kids........ and as I still on recalls wasnt bothered..........2 mths later the little blue line!!
