    That's weird your OH being snapped, Wendz! I personally feel so bad for Imogen. Want to go around and give her a big hug! The guy, as just about always, gets off lighter than the girl even though he was the married one.


    I dont feel sorry for either of them! She knew he was married, so IMO that makes her just as bad. I am glad he has been revealed as I dont think he should be protected just because he has money. Although I did know it was him before it was announced by that MP as my OH saw it on the twitter leak.

    We are considering moving house again :o OH wants us to still have a spare room. And as the now spare room will be changing into a nursery he thinks we should look for a 3 bed house to rent.

    So you use the spare room much? If not you could just have a sofa bed in the lounge or in the babies room, and if guests stay over have the baby in your room, at least while its teeny.

    We do use the spare room quite a bit. We have a sofa bed in there now, but not one thats suitable to have in the lounge (not that we have space to put it there unless we get rid of our other sofas). Not enough room to have sofa bed and babys furniture in the spare room unfortunatly as I was thinking that.

    To be fair we could move into a 3 bed place and only pay an extra £50ish a month, but I just cant be bothered with the hassle :rotfl:
    I like this house, I like our neighbours, I like the area.

    I wouldn't worry for a while Flower. Will you have baby in your room to start with? We have Poppy in our room and have the second room as a spare as my sister is half moved out now.

    Cinny - i bet my OH wanted to give her a hug too ;)

    Lol Wendz :D Boys are so silly sometimes.

    I don't condone the affair, but I don't think she deserves all the media vitriol and death threats - it must be genuinely terrifying.

    I seem to have missed a lot of this, I've kind of vaguely known that there's been some 'scandal' but not read much about it... been kind of out of the newsy loop recently for some reason! The only thing I can say is that these injunctions are madness, if people don't want the world to find out that they've been playing around, they shouldn't be doing it in the first place!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I'm with Birdie, I know they say the injunction is to protect his wife and kids, but thats his job to be doing and he knowingly and willingly hurt them for six months apparently, nothing the media say or do is going to be as damaging as them knowing they weren't as important to daddy/their husband as a bit of nookie.

    Whereas I'm more along the line of "The wife and kids have suffered enough because daddy was a t**t, the last thing they need is a bunch of souless paps sitting outside the house all day waiting to mob them if they so much as breath"...which is whats happened cause some mug MP decided to abuse his power, which he should resign for, but wont.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Yes baby will be in with us so I know we dont really need to have the nursery sorted before hand. But we will be buying the furniture before because its where all clothes etc will be stored, and we dont have room in our bedroom for all my clothes as well as babys :rotfl:
    I've told OH I am quite happy to move when baby is a year or so old, but at the minute I thinks its just another expense that we dont need.

    I think his wife probably already knew it was him before the MP spoke out, after there has been such intense media coverage (and the fact that it was all over twitter).
    But I agree she shouldnt be suffering anymore, but then thats Ryan Giggs' fault, no one elses.
