    Thanks everyone.

    Well, I have a bit of good news. I'm 8 days late and two pregnancy tests have confirmed I'm pregnant. It's very early days and I'm trying not to get too excited but I fear it's too late for that.

    I've already started to look on ebay but I really should wait until I pass the 12 week stage.

    So pretty much you are the first to know, even before my family.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well, I have a bit of good news. I'm 8 days late and two pregnancy tests have confirmed I'm pregnant.

    Stuff the mortgage - this is far more important stuff. Hope everything goes well and that you keep us informed in the coming weeks and months...

    Only 2 tests - I think Mrs Bliss did at least 5 tests. First to confirm pregnancy and a further four to take the (nice) shock out of it...
