    I feel sorry for newbies posting on the main dfw board as I only go on that bit once or twice a week - as even this thread and the £10 a day thread is subscribed to and takes me straight there.... I do have about 28 subs tho!!! I wonder where all my time goes... not housework that is for sure!

    cold LOL

    but found a really nice area to move to, and got some details of some places.need to go back up there though to check them out properly.
    we're looking to rent for a couple of years, get debt paid down and then look at buying.... rent is so much cheaper up there, at least £200 cheaper than what we pay now and for more.... its crazy....

    DH should hear tomorrow or tues about fire service interview, he thinks it went well though, next up would be physicals.....

    Hi CMD - I think you posted as I was writing a different reply. I would get checked out re the twinge - you may as well put your mind at rest. I found with my pregnancies that I got all sorts of weird pains. I even bled a bit once but it turned out ok - DS now 11!! Hopefully its nothing.

    CMD - don't forget baby is getting bigger now and your body needs to make room for him/her. it's bound to stress some muscles. i know what you mean about wanting GP's reassurance though. go for it and don't let them fob you off either.

    saving - good luck with your 2nd interview
