  • Morning!! :)

    Thank you to everyone for their kind wishes. We're trying to remain positive about the redundancy whilst thinking of ideas for what he could invest his payout in, business or training wise. He probably wouldn't have to leave until July, which means that this new baby would be ten months old and i would be able to go back to my job full time. I don't earn even nearly as much as him, but it would pay the mortgage and bills i think. So at least we have that option. Things are far worse for a lot of people facing this i bet.

    Today i only have this morning to fly since i'm at a consultant appointment this afternoon. I get the date for my c-section though!!! YIPPEE!!! :j:j:j
