How weird. Just logged in for first time in ages and you are all here! :-)
I'm so pleased and happy for your that bubba and motherhood is going will Happy. Can't beleive he'll be one.
Hey OF and Jwil! xxx
Am on here and just thinking I waste too much money so looking for some challenge and to keep myself on track. Not wanting to bring things down but after 3 years of ttc we fell pregnant in December last year. Sadly we lost our bubba boy at 20 weeks back in March - it's been an incredibly hard time but we're holding up and trying to stay strong. Won't go into details but hoping one day will feel strong enough to try again.
Anyway enough of me and things. Happy plans re house sound amazing and I hope bubba no 2 makes an appearance for you. Jwil...you must be so excited. A Christmas baby :-) OF - amazing work on those debts.
Glad to see you are all well and still about. Sorry for hijacking thread happy but seems all those I remember on here.
Take care lovely ladies xx0 -

Thanks Happy. Keeping ourselves busy with house DIY and we have booked a trip to see my sister in Australia for September so keeping ourselves going. It's incredible hard and I get very angry at things but all part of it I guess. Time, as they say, is a healer. I really hope that we feel stronger to try again soon and have our forever baby. With any luck my body now knows what to do now as think I said before we came under the 'unexplained infertility' bracket...whatever that really means! I know i'm supposed to be a mummy and although sadly not with our precious boy, hopefully one day with our second.
Sooo how is the house selling/buying situ? I really hope it all goes smoothly for you hun.
I'm trying to keep focused with money as been wasting it lately and hate that. I want to build savings, house diy and overpay mortgage....why is it money plays a part in head all day everyday eh?:rotfl:
Right, must get back to sanding and filling holes....just had me a diet coke break whilst the men off to diy shop.
Take care all xxx0 -

Thank you Happy. You couldn't write our last year to be honest...my sis in Aus had baby Feb at 25 weeks (waters broke 19wks) - you can imagine and bubba boy was so poorly but doing so well now amazingly!!! Defied ever odd thrown at him but it was 4 months in intesive care before moving to normal wards. The in October my sis in law was killed in car crash on her way to work and then us with bubba. I'm amazed i'm still standing but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I really feel for OH's parents as both their sons have gone through major traumatic experiences in less than 6 months. It's tough on them :-(
Gosh i'm sorry, clearly off loading. Apologies!! Weirdly I miss coming on here and chatting. May start a savings/mortgage and keeping on track diary! May have redundancy looming later this year so need to get things in order.
I'm so glad all is going well in your planning sweetie. It's great that nothing too exciting has come on whilst you are still selling. That dream home will turn up just when you want it to, i'm sure.
How is your little man? Can't beleive how quickly the time has flown!
Take care and speak soon xxx0 -
Choc-addict - lovely to see you again! I wondered how you were.
So sorry about your awful year, and your little boy. I'm 20 weeks now, and can't begin to imagine how heartbreaking that was for you. I hope that when you try again, you soon get your baby.
Let us know if you start a diary, it's nice to have somewhere to waffle I find"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

My little man didn't crawl until he was nearly one. He started about 3 days before I went back to work! I was just thankful that someone else had to do a lot of the chasing around
