come on girls, should i have another baby? i need you to tell me so i can blame someone if it goes wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My twopennorth comes from my own experience My 2 are 22 months apart and I wanted a third once DD (the elder) started school. DH was adamant that 2 was enough, so I went along with that. I mourned a bit fro children 3 and 4 but now that thye're teenagers I'm so glad that I stuck at 2. We can afford the time and the money to do everything we wnat to. I'm fulfilled with being able to indulge my time on them and on a PT job, which I simply wouldn't be able to with 3 or 4.

Many of my frineds have 3 children and they constantly talk about how much more expensive a third child is, how many holidays are set up for families of 4, how you need a bigger car to take 3 chuldren and all their luggage on holiday

Possibly my urge to have more children is still there but as they're 14 and 16 I'm planning having pigs instead :T

Hang on, YOU need to change? It reminds me of men who hit women and say: "It's your fault I hit you, you make me angry."
If he's threatening you and making your life miserable, then it's really not worth it. You deserve to be with someone who makes your life happy, not someone who scares you or is nasty to you. I think you have done the right thing in asking him to leave.

:T

Lou, do you have friends, family or professionals you can talk to about this? You can contact Relate, and they should give you someone to talk to. Hope things work out for you :A

Forgot to say i have listed 10 items on Ebay and will do 10 per day till everything has gone.

On the new baby front if it was left to me i would have another. My dh does not want any more kids and at the mo just started a new job so i would like to settle in there as well.

It took me 11 years to get DS after being told at 18 i would not have any kids so he is my miracle baby so i would not mind if he ended up being an only child but would prefer him not to be .

If you can afford and have the room then go for it xx

Morning All

There seem to be a few people going away so have a great time all of you.

Piggers - make sure you rest - I know you find it difficult but you'll be better quicker if you take it easy for a change.

Sexy - hope everything went well yesterday.

Lou - hugs - pm me if you want to chat.

Lots of GO AWAY vibes for BD and hugs for those he's visiting at the moment.

Well done on the weight losses.

I'm sure I've probably missed something but that's because I have a brain like a sieve.

I had parents evening last night for my 2 and they both had very good reports so pleased with that.

Off to Zoe's tomorrow so I won't have much chance to get stuff done and I'm at my parents' house for tea tonight so it may be Sunday before I get round to doing anything else, However half-term next week so hopefully I will get something done then.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Sorry I have been playing catch up - yesterday wasa bad day! I had to eat lunch alone as my support worker had to change her time to take me out and I stupidly ate a granary roll part of which went down the wrong way into my lungs!!!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:
I can understand the temptation of a fresh granary roll - but you were lucky - so don't take such a risk again - pleeeeese.
We need you around to keep an eye on us.

Def too many BDs around at the moment - shoo - go away - not wanted!
