    Thanks again everyone, it's nice to feel like people care :)

    I can't believe it's November already; my maternity leave is flying by! I know I still have ages yet, but it'll be over far too quickly for my liking. I'm enjoying being at home and not having to worry about work a bit too much ;)

    DS is continuing to thrive; he's just starting to chuckle which is incredibly cute. I've started to play the piano to him when he's getting upset which seems to calm him right down. It's a bit tricky with one hand as I'm holding him with the other, but it's lovely to do. I'm secretly hoping he'll be musical too!

    In mortgage news, after doing a small OP today, our mortgage currently stands at £103,000.00 so it'll definitely be under six figures before the end of the year :j :j that's such a big milestone to get to, in my mind.

    Plodding along :)
