    Hi r.mac :D

    Aless, i was 31st on the list and now bidding is over and it says i'm 40th lol so i'm guessing i won't get it. Probably a good thing seeing as it's smaller than current house (and i want a bigger one, but don't most people lol!) and it's on a busy road, i quite like that i don't have a road in front of the house so DS can play out and also the dog can have a mooch on a night when nobody is around.

    Always - my sister used to have something that she stuck on the car window and then it hung over baby a bit like a mobile but with rattles and stuff - do you mean something like that?

    oh yes! my MIL (who wasn't actually MIL then because we weren't married) didn't talk to either of us for a week when OH told her about Chris, then VERY regulary said that there was no need to have another until Chris was at school. Since announcing that we were expecting Ed it is often said that "that's it now" and things to that effect.

    It'll get worse when you've got your girl.

    After I had Liv everyone said, "well, that's it now, no more for you, you've got one of each" :rotfl:

    I'd love to have 10 just to pi55 them all off. :rotfl:

    Did people give their opinions on your child choices? It's none of their business how many children you choose to have.

    Noone ever said congratulations!!

    DS1.. I was irresponsible too young ruined my life.. blahblahblah
    DD1.. I was too poor DS1 was too little (bear in mind we'd been TTC for 2 years!) life was well and truly ruined now! more blahblah
    DS2.. what you having another one for you've got one of each, house too small income too small.. *yawn*
    DD2.. are you totally stupid? 4 children 'at your age' (I was 22)
    DS3.. 5 children!!!!!!! What is wrong with you? You had 2 of each.. cue exceptionally rude comments
    DD3.. Well you wouldn't be so ill if you hadn't had so many children, maybe it would be better if this one was m/c'd
    DD4 you nearly died last time won't you be happy until you do and leave all these, your house is too small no money.. it gets very boring lol
    DD5.. OMG You need certifying.. you almost very nearly just about died last time and was EXTREMELY lucky.. you are an idiot

    #9.. I just didn't tell them.. when they asked I said I hadn't told them because a, it is none of their business and b, they have had nothing positive to say about any of the other children so why was I to assume they'd be happy this time.. it isn't like anyone other than the parents look after my brood. OH's mum is just mortified that we aren't married.. she'll just have to get used to it!

    Hi thanks for asking after me i've been reading but not feeling like posting :o

    Love the pic of K i could eat him up :D While we're on the subject of L&G - i have one that i recovered from my sisters back garden and the rain *rolleyes* so will scrub it up and see if it still works when Amber is ready for it, it's in the shed. Is the seat bit removeable?

    Yep, the lady I bought it from said it was but I've not tried it yet!

    :o Funny you should notice that..... I realised after I'd arranged to go for the L&G that I still have no bank card and therefore no money. Yes, I did pay with 26 pound coins and 2 double nuggets :o

    Oooh, I think we have that one too but in pink obviously. MIL bought it from Little VIPs. I couldn't get it open when I needed cash though! Hubby was disgusted with me for trying to steal Holly's cash. :o

    Beenie - glad you are ok and still around.
    I was also thinking that Fattybooboo hasn't been on for ages. She used to post semi regularly. Hope she is ok.

    Off to make dinner now. Catch you all later. x

    I can't believe that people can be so judgemental - well, actually I probably can, I just prefer to remain ignorant in my happy little world...
