    I think its probably because i am not settled here... nothing wrong with the house just was too ill to sort things out when we moved s its very much a case of our furniture in a house but its not yet my home so I have a chance to view the rooms without compassion. Plus I need t plan, list and organise so need to prepare myself

  • Perhaps because you have had to have so much help organising your possessions in this house due to you being pregnant.

    I found when we first moved here, the In laws randomly unpacked lots of boxes, and until i put things as i wanted them it wasn't right. Once you have loads of new memories there then it should feel better.

    One of the deciding factors was my ex-husband's g/f has fallen pregnant (unplanned) at 53 :eek: Now each to their own and all that, but jeez that is not for me nor would I ever want to make a decision what to do either :(

    oh i know... all through the pregnancy he was getting snipped.. i was dne and that was that but now i'm thinking hmm im 30 i could have 15 years availible to have a 4th that a final no just seems premature..

    Michelle - I work about 24-36 months in the future... this house is done decore wise for a good few years.. kitchen looks to be 18 ish months old and bathroom similar the biggest issue is we only have 3 bedrooms. Can you imagine puberty with 3 teenage girls and only 1 bathroom the a shower and bath.. I dread it..

    Well NSD her today.. I made carrot and corriander soup and some nice cheese rolls which we had about 2 ish. DH just did a freezer special for the kids teas fishfinger and alphabites.. I think we will have a spanish omlette later tonight once kids asleep..

    My OH is already taking about the 4th and our 3rd is just days old.... I despair with her!

    Sometimes it just takes time to get used to new surroundings before you feel fully at home. Its hard if most of the decor is done as you can't "add your own stamp". But give it time.

    Granted the bathroom does sound like an issue you might have to resolve, is there room for extension or conversion at all?

    Ohh things really are spooky my OH made carrot and corriander soup for the first time just the other night.

    Ohh and subscribed :)

    LP your other half is quite honestly nuts.... I would fancy a 4th is DH had to carry it. I am quite good at giving birth just not being pregnant. My LO is 18 days :)

    I think i am clinically insane BTW. after moaning about tight march etc etc i did a count up.. £1200 for groceries, fuel (both tanks between full and 3/4 full) random bits etc etc. That is not allowing for any mortgage op or debt op. I have obviously miscounted someplace because 3 days ago i though we would be lucky to avoid overdraft and we had something like £300 not £1200.. I have !!!!ed up someplace because I know for a fact I am due some little bits of quidco cash etc plus child benefit when it gets sorted out and neither of those things are counted within my budget so !!!!!!..

    Oh yes she is nuts alright. I am happy with 3 although since we already changed the car to a galaxy she always notes there are still two spare seats...... Granted I have always wanted two sons but I think four would be too much to handle.

    Ohh looks like a digit or two has been punched wrong into your figures then.

    We moved into our house when I was pregnant and I was ill every day so couldn't get things how I wanted them. Four years later and they're still not right :rotfl:

    She is desperate for him to get it reversed - he won't - got her a puppy:rotfl:I can't believe she made him get it done when they were only 22/34.

    They can get a kind of IVF which means he doesn't need it reversed, but does involve a needle in the nads:rotfl:
