    My period is 6 days late but I am so stingy that I wouldn't buy a test (£3.45 in mr T!!) so I am going to ask the doctors to confirm or not later!

    I wouldn't be able to wait!! :D

    OMG Earthgirl how can you resist not testing?! I have a Clearblue digital test in my drawer from earlier in the year when I was TTC, wish I could teleport it to you! Good luck anyway. Also big congrats to Twinklie.

    Oooh, fingers crossed for the result you want!

    Well done on being strict with the tutoring. Have you found demand has increased recently? I could go full time with the amount of requests I've had.

    Take care

    Thanks for the well wishes!

    Well it was a faint positive!! The nurse would like me to do it again at the end of the week just to get a stronger line. But I am pretty safe to say that it is a very early pregnancy - now my period is 8 days late. I guess I just have to relax and see what happens on Friday.

    She said Thursday, but showboating I said I could wait till Friday to test again!

    So perhaps all will change again for me this autumn. I see this time now as a time to get all organised and make plenty of money as I can't see me being able to tutor much with 2 LOs, plus I am planning to go part time on returning to work, if its possible.

    Good news and the EG household is very happy!
