    Hi all!! Just doing a quick catch up then will be off to bed, I only seem to manage to get on here for half hour these days, boooooo!! Hope ur all doing well. Well this morning I went to a nearby town and mooched round the shops with the pram which was nice, then had lunch with a friend, then we had our baby singing class this afternoon. Good but tiring day!!

    Im in the process of trying to sort out about my return to work, been number crunching with the entitled to website but there are so many variables!!

    Evening,

    I've caught up

    Hugs, well done, hello and congratulations.

    Grandma took Katie for her dancing shoes today, they are so cute.

    Rubbish day at work, the person I worked with left on Friday and I was told that someone else would step in from today - have I had any help today? Not on your nelly. I'll see how it goes tomorrow and then say something. I have to be careful as the person that is meant to be helping me is the owners son.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)

    Tia & Krystal - I've just been on FB and seen the shoe's you commented on that Bizziebaby had linked to. Isla's got a pair of these which are the same type of thing. I now want the strawberry, the cupcakes and the kitty ones!
    I really shouldn't look at those!! Caitlyn has some similar, 1white pair with cherries and 1 pink pair with flowers... And she'll be in walking shoes soon... :(

    thank you, I would love that :D

    I will check tomorrow for it as I have a date with DH and 2 episodes of Jonathan Creek :D:)
    Nekkid? It's the only way to watch ;)

    We're watching Fringe on catch up TV... It's like a modern day x-files...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    dh playing on computer, so i'm lurking on my phone. Nothing on tv and mega-bored. Dh thinks finn is teething, the thought of which terrifies me, but he's been chewing on things like crazy and has now woken up 3 times this evening (very unusual for him to wake before 11)...:eek: hope it's just coincidence. Mil came to visit today so maybe he's just having nightmares :rotfl: i'm so mean.

    Jillie, hope u get back online sooner than fri. I know what dh is like when something's blocking his ability to sell/do work.

    Never heard of jonathan creek? :o

    Eeeeeeeeevening all!

    SS, those wraps look tasty. I showed OH and he just said "wheres the meat then?" pointless man!

    Bit of stress for me here. OH has been offered and decided to take a new job working as a Heath and Care Assistant in a local hospital, which is something he has been wanting to do for absolutely ages, as he wants to work his way up and train through the NHS to eventually become a paramedic like his dad, and has looked into all kinds of training and study options and has found that the only way in seems to be if you already work within the NHS. Dont get me wrong, I'm really pleased for him that he is doing something he wants to do and he has been applying for these jobs for over a year now so he is definitely dedicated to it, but deep down I'm really not sure its the best thing for us as a family. Its shift work so I'll have to stop working Sundays and work another day in the week, if my work lets me, to ensure Seth has childcare while I'm at work, and therefore pay more for that. We currently dont have any work travel expenses as we both live within walking distance of work, and with the new job he will have to either drive, train or bus, more money for that, and then on top of that its going to be a pay cut of around £200+ a month, which we really cant afford! Oh, and the small matter of my huge debts to pay off as well, I was hoping to start making some headway on actually paying them off but now I dont think thats going to be able to happen either.
    So we've now said we'll put the wedding back (for the third time!) from June 2011 to June 2012 so we can make sure we've got enough money to pay for it. We were hoping to move house next year as well, which we wont be able to do now, and we were going to TTC straight after the wedding which will also have to wait now, if we can afford to at all!
    If it all pays off then great, I will be pleased, but what if he ends up stuck wiping !!!!!! and cleaning bedsores on a crappy wage forever? There is no guarantee he will even be eligible for any additional training/studying for what he wants to be, its all a hunch. So while he's all pleased with himself, I'm trying to be but cant help thinking he is a selfish bell end that cant seem to grasp any kind of household budget sums!

    Anway... MFD, any news on Mr MFD yet? Hope everything is fine and it turns out to be man flu xxx
