    Thank you Ally, Auntie Mabel, LP, & Misscousinitt! :j:j:j

    Woohoo! I have just sold another book on GM! Another £3 closer to mortgage freedom!

    Just been playing with the mortgage calculator, and this morning's OP has saved us £4539 in interest alone, and shorten our mortgage by 9 months! :D:D:D

    Well done on the OP! That's a fabulous amount.

    I really hope your IVF goes smoothly for you and wish you both the very best of luck. I have my fingers and toes crossed here for you.
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    I am glad I am not the one that I have to stab myself every day with those drugs.. I'll stick to morale support...

    Iris, I think I need to take the kind of drug you're having!! 6 kids!! (and counting??)

    No it isn't nice, My cousin went through it and thankfully she was lucky with the end result. I imagine it must be quite stressful for you.

    It doesn't feel like I've had 6. I suppose its because the oldest is nearly 18 and the next 12 months later and then they have been spread out until the last 2.
    number 7 is planned for after the wedding and then that should be it.

    ps just looking through your piccies. They're good. You look very tall. I can say that as I'm a short ar53!

    I am 6ft5!! My brother is a fair few inches taller than me.. My mum is 6ft and my dad same as me.. However my Grandma is 4ft 10 :rotfl:

    I would not wish my worst enemy to have to go through IVF.. Its very difficult to describe... Your whole life goes on hold and then there is only one focus.. I have got MSE for distraction so I hang on to that...

    Number 7!!!! It could be twins!! You are a great mum, so I am sure you'll have no problems welcoming & raising another Blue baby!

    Froggy :p

    Wow. Aww your little gran! How cute. You could put her in your giant pocket and carry her around with you.

    It must be awful. It took me 18 months to get pregnant with DD and that was a difficult time for me but I can only imagine how you must feel.

    I think I am a good mum and that why it makes you wonder about children that go off the rails, a year ago I would say its the parents fault ..but now I wouldn't be so judgemental as I really haven't done anything. Its hard not to blame yourself through. I'm a better mum now at 37 than I was a 20 as I have more time for them now but not enough energy! Twins ! The older you are the more likely it is apprarently.:eek: Saying that you could end up with 6 straight away! :D

    If we have 6 in one go, then I'll be round yours for advice straight away!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I wish I could have my grandma round here, I love her to bits..

    Thought you were going to the Trafford Centre?? Are you postponing again or going later on??

    Looks like its about to start raining here, so my plan to mow the lawn tonight ain't going to happen...:o
