You're hubby is so lovely! I've got tears in my eyesExcellent - what shall we call ourselves???
Speaking of not having enough shoes, bags and clothes... last night I turned round to hubby on the other sofa and said "if you win this contract and get the £30k bonus... I want £500 for a new wardrobe!"... and bless his socks... his reply was:
"if you want £500 for a new wardrobe you can have it now if it will make you feel happier?"
Now in all fairness I spend SO little on my clothes and he's probably never heard me utter those words before (infact £50 on anything for my wardrobe is a major event!) so it's not like we're just chucking £500 at wardrobes on a regular basis in this house
However I want to loose a bit more weight first and get a little fitter and that would fit with when he'll get the bonus if it happens... the latest he'd get it is January (physically in paycheck) but could be november :eek:
And it might not be £30k before tax - could be as little as £10k before tax
And I know that sounds a lot but if we get it then all of it (nearly) will be going towards a new house and paying off debts 
Saline drops are avilable from tesco - in the baby aisle with infacol, bonjella etc.When I went to the doctors a while ago I had Celia in bright pink trousers, a bright pink and acid green stripey top (it's as lurid and hideous as it sounds I love it!) with a bunny on and someone still asked me "How old is he?" I kid you not!
Have you got/heard of saline nose drops? You can get them from the doctors/chemist and they help unbung their nose
Anyone want to start a book of when I'll cry?searching_me wrote: »fern britton leaving this morning

elle you'll know when it's time to move up
I thought the size 1's looked huge on Alexnadra when she was born and she was 8lb 2oz so goodness knows what they might look like on Rhys
Try one - if it fits it fits
if not, carry on with the smaller size
