Glad to hear you had a good time in Scotland

I bought my first pair of maternity trousers last week from Matalan in a size 12
Was major chuffed as I'm normally a 16 although its not true that I'm a 12 I does make me feel better 
Hope your headaches get better soon.
Lots of luck with the house. Afraid that the markets pretty much dead atm
Here's hoping that it picks up soon. Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck

Was that the first pair of maternity trousers you bought this time, or was it just that you bought a smaller size than before? You should see the size of me, I'm mahoosive!!Mummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0 -

Nope we didn't get them planted as it seemed to be quite a bit colder this weekend. We went to a cash and carry type place last night though and bought loads of seeds and bulbs. Hopefully if it picks up again this weekend we will get them out.
How is your pregnancy going? Are you looking forward to maternity leave?Mummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0 -
Am hoping for a nice and dry weekend here too
I've been optimistic and planted some spuds in pots and there's tomatoes sprouting on the living room floor! 
I think I've got something like 10 weeks of work to go till mat leave. Am definitely looking forward to it
Both me and baby are healthy, I just didn't realise that pregnancy was sooo uncomfortable!

Hi LittleBit, I have just read your thread and have signed up. I am trying to save money so that I have enough to cope with a year off work from next year to have a baby. All in the planning though because I have quite a bit of debt to clear before then.
Good luck with your saving. You will definitely do it.Halifax CC £1029/£2490, Tesco CC [STRIKE]£0/£3203[/STRIKE], Tesco loan £15431/£15808, Carloan1 £6743/£8241, Carloan2[STRIKE] £0/£3813[/STRIKE]

I'm 30 weeks on Thursday. I'm signed off work at the moment, and it's nice to have some time to myself while the boys are with the childminder. I think it's the last chance I'll get for a long time.....Mummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0 -
