Belated Happy Birthday ELJaycock! hope you had a lovely day xxx

My DD went to Harry Potter studios in December on a school trip and thought it was brilliant, although I think they were all all more interested in the fact that Tom Cruise was in the studios opposite filming for his new movie at the time!

I feel like someone has hit my head with a piece of wood. Nothing I have taken has worked. I am sitting with the light off, as they hurt my eyes. :(

Popped on here earlier and came across this thread. I had my vote and comment.

Well here we go....had an unbelievably stressful few months (hence my lack of posting but I have always been here lurking behind the scenes).

Christmas went well....my moneysaving and cost-spreading, with the help of this thread, meant that we had a Christmas well within our means (for the first Christmas since leaving home at 16 I managed to do all my shopping without having to rely on store cards/borrowing money from elsewhere) All the family seemed to love their presents so a big thankyou to all those who posted fab deals and offers on the old thread that I took advantage of. OH and I decided not to bother with presents for one another as we have been house hunting and decided any extra money we could save could go towards paying the bond/any decorating that needs doing etc when we found somewhere. Although I got the best present from him ever....a romantic proposal :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Although there'll be no wedding planning for me for a while....our 2nd little bundle of joy is due in 6 weeks time and we FINALLY move house on Saturday (just what you need at 34 weeks pregnant eh?) :undecided Although the house needs ALOT of decorating before the baby's born....can't help feeling like I'm drastically running out of time

Just got back from the midwives where I've just been diagnosed with suspected SPD (although they haven't OFFICIALLY confirmed it as they've said I need an ultrasound to confirm it but there's no way they'll be able to fit me in for one before my due date) so I've been referred for physio and fitted with a very attractive support belt Part of me can't wait for my little man to be here as this pregnancy has been nothing but trouble so far but on the other side I could do with a few more weeks to make sure we're prepared for him properly!

Sorry I'm rambling ladies........just thought I'd let you all know what's been going on with me. Hope everyone's well!!! xxx

Opee92-Congratulations! :j Hope the move goes well and is not too stressful. xx


bunbun-What figures did you get? They're usually £9.99 full price in other shops but dont Boots inflate all their prices lol! £3.75 is a super bargain still.


I am so excited, yesterday my sister told me she is getting my niece and nephew christened and asked me to be my nephews Godmother! :j The christening is in May so now have lots to organise!
