    Thank you :)

    Obviously we have lots to think about and process, as well as plan for and make decisions about other options. All exciting stuff though!

    I like the fact you're so calm and organised. :) I think my wife and I spent her entire pregnancy saying to each other that everything was OK because the arrival was ages away but before we knew it, the arrival was very imminent and nothing (and I mean nothing) was ready / bought. :o

    Mind, that was nothing compared to the realisation that we really had been blessed with a child.

    Thanks everyone :)

    So, hello February! We're going to do some more housework this month, including switching some rooms around. I want to decorate our living room too, so I've been looking at various colour schemes to see what I like. I'm hoping to get a new sofa too - fingers crossed!

    Transferred a tiny £4.10 OP to the mortgage today, tiny steps. Also had a NSD :) DH made shepherds pie for tea which was lovely to arrive home too - nothing like some comfort food when it's cold and dark outside.

    Lots of various pots need to change now - we have lots to save for! Decisions, decisions :)

    I'm so glad it's the weekend - the weeks are so hard right now. I'm so tired all of the time and have been feeling pretty grotty all week. Had a nice lie in this morning though which was nice :)

    We're going across to my parents this afternoon to stay overnight, which I'm really looking forward to. We're going out for a meal tonight which will be lovely. We haven't seen them in a while so they haven't seen my scan picture yet - Mum is excited to see it!

    My blog views are way down this week :( not sure why at all? I feel like I've lost my blogging mojo a bit, maybe that's why.

    Happy Saturday everyone :)
