    I think I'm going to hope for a 4lb-er when we have one, surely their heads are smaller?!

    I was told that the smaller the baby is the harder the birth as they have no weight behind them to push. Not sure if that is true or not.

    Sure it all has to stretch anyway! (Sorry Wendz)

    Sounds great Birdie - I don't think you could ever get broed of Disney!

    I was 9lb and my sister 9lb 10 so I don't come from a family of small babies. I have heard bigger ones can be easier as well CMD....fingers crossed haha. This one os looking pretty average at the mo though.

    wow Wendz, Flower and CMD! It all seems to be going so fast! Those names you've chosen are lovely Wendz!
    Not too much is happening over here at the mo, I'm still trying to desperately save up for a house deposit but I think my plans might get put on hold because I'll have to move house soon :( I am still trying though and I have got time! The deposits you'd be able to get together sound good Dinah! I'm v impressed/confused how you have all this equity but also CC debt but as always - you're in control and I get that!
    £75 is good going from MS NIM! well done :) I guess when you get a big payment in one go its ok and it maybe makes it all feel more worthwhile!
    Dinah did you get the money for your car from your mum yet? are you going to ringfence it for the business?

    I'm still plodding along over here, trying not to get stressed out but it's nearly payday so that will be very welcome so that I can move some money around etc! I'm also still plodding along with surveys and DY (and ciao! Just requsted £5 and all I do is copy and paste my dy work so I'm well chuffed with that!) but it is really slow going and I think I've reviewed EVERYTHING in my house! god knows how you used to do 6 a day Dinah!!

    Nope still haven't been paid for the car Tink. We'll get it when they sell mums old one (not yet in the paper!) or dad gets his redundancy (end of May), whichever is sooner.
