Nora :wave: glad to see things are going well for you

xx

Hey emsbet,

Glad to hear things are going well for you too! Am also a big fan of chorizo so I've cooked it a few times over the past few months and savoured every mouthful!

mmm, I was on Cilest up until 6 months before we began trying, and used a condom for those 6 months. Will just have to see how it affects me. They do help with period cramps though.

We couldn't afford to have 2 children in childcare at the same time, unless one of us got a huge increase. The fees are around £1200 per month here, and that, combined with our £1150 per month rent, we just couldn't afford another £1200 per month. So looks like i'll be waiting till i'm almost 40 (35 now) until we can have a second, when first is in school

*Redhead*

:eek: oh my. That's terrible. £1150 RENT?!? I'm assuming you live in London?

Remember when your baby is 3 he will qualify for some free nursery hours, so you wouldn't be spending as much.

welcome to the thread hun, i am on my fourth baby and my husband has three from his previous marage, i am just a few weeks infront of you, i am 25 weeks on monday. do you know what your having yet, im having a girl

Thanks for all the advice, lovecrafting. I had my 20 week scan on Wednesday and they asked if I wanted to know what the sex of the baby was, but I said no. DH wanted to know but I didn't. I have a strong inclination that it's a boy, due to the timing of conception and the amount of nephews I have!! My mother is dying for a granddaughter and I just don't think it's going to happen for her!!

Well i'm officially stuffed The tapas place we went to is all you can eat so they just keep bringing out dishes until you surrender :rotfl:

It's way past my bed time (usually asleep by 8:30 at the moment) but I think I'm too wired on the glass of coke I had with dinner. It's amazing how quickly your body gets used to less Caffine

Anna, Amelia is gorgeous

True, so hopefully we could start trying then. Yes, i'm in Middlesex, which is basically SW London. That's the average for a 2 bedroom. Before that I was paying £800 for a tiny 1 bedroom flat. And I mean tiny!!

You should move up north it's much cheaper £1150 is almost double our mortgage on our three bed semi

haha, I was in Liverpool from 2000-2005, was much cheaper. But all my friends and my brother were down South, and to be honest, so was the work really in my trade.

We could never afford to buy a house in this country, there's no way I could save £30000 whilst still paying rent etc. So we're stuck renting, which is a shame, coz its so damn expensive!!
