    Congratulations!!!:j:j:j

    Wonderful news about your new baby..:D. Don't worry your mum is just caring for you...and maybe being a little thoughtless as she says it. Do ask her to support and help you though..don't wait for her to offer...(I can tell you it can sometimes work!:p)

    And..sub £9.5k to boot..now that's progress honey! Wish I was there myself..but hopefully in about 3 months time! ;)

    It is true. I found going from 2-3 and then 3-4 much easier than going from one to two :D

    I had four in 5 yrs 4 months, crazy, I know but great fun.

    Please listen to advice to take things easy and look after yourself, especially for the first few months.

    :eek: I thought having 2 in 12 months (and 2 weeks) was bad :eek: I sent dh for the snip straight after that little mishap :rotfl: as i'm sure i'd be sitting here in more debt and also saying I had 4 in 4/5 years :rotfl:fertile pair is DH & I (well he was...........) :D

    Poohbear, think quite a lot of us had to reread that sentence twice. four little ones in five years, way to go. As my three Ds's are now grown up I would give anything to turn back the clock and enjoy it all over again. Looking forward to becoming a grandma later this year.

    Well done on sub £9.5k. :)

  • Hello to all my lovely friends, old and new. Thank you so much for your best wishes and congratulations. GetOutandOn please stay out of lurkdom now.

    Gained 2lbs at fat class yesterday :eek:. By the evenings though I have a definite bump which is rather strange for just 7 weeks!

    This morning we had DS1's parents meeting for starting year 4 in September, followed by DS2's seaside visit with playgroup. DS2 had a brilliant time despite the weather being pants compared to the last few days, and it was nice to have all the kids and parents together. I think we brought half the beach back with us though judging by the pile DS2 has left in the bottom of the bath just now! DS1 is at his end of term disco after school just now so I don't need to pick him up for another hour.

    Should really do some ironing but can't be chewed :o

    Pooh, I wish I could knit! There's nothing cuter than a newborn in a baby grow with a handmade cardigan on top!

    Couldn't agree more. I actually think of the money I could also save on making stuff if I could! Must make mental note to learn to knit!

    Cograts on sub 9.5k Awwwoohhoooo :money: :j :T :D :A :money: You always round down so really, if you think about it, it's only 9kish.. ;) xx
