In other news, if my redundancy is confirmed next week (consultation period is ongoing at moment to see if they can reloccate me elsewhere but with only jobs in London/Sutton so not likely) and they don't give me notice I will be BETTER OFF than if I was made redundant with notice as I get 3 months FULL PAY rather than 6 weeks then basic SMP... Payout looks to be £15k ish before tax...26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

Luc, I think a lot of people feel the need to say how easy it all is and how it all comes naturally! it's not fashionable to find it difficult or moan these days even if it is! that said the baby will come (eventually), you will love it more than you ever thought possible and you'll get by just fine no matter what life throws at you.Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Hi Luc. Glad you are ok. Happy waddling.:D
Sal. My best friend went to live in the States in 1981. I was heartbroken. We have kept in touch and when my youngest was about 10 I started to go out there every 2-3 years. I sort of get off the plane and the conversation starts as if it never stopped. We use AIM in between - used to phone but she is going rather deaf. I love her to bits and know that she is always there if a bit remotely.
I went out for the millennium after my horrible divorce year. Last went the Christmas before last. She has moved all over the USA so I have seen a lot. The kids came with me when she was in DC. In Atlanta now.
Bit of a waffle that. In short I miss her like mad but I know that I can phone her in the middle of the night if necessary (have done it) and she (and her hubby) will be supportive.0
