    Oh my gosh, I hate housework. If I could justify it, I would definitely get a cleaner :o I hate dusting as it makes me cough as well. I appear to be in a bit of a grump today :o

    I suppose I should put this here, but me and DH have decided it's time to try and expand our family :D which I'm really excited about but also kind of nervous about! Also, I've been looking online and there's stuff about pregnancy and cats which has scared me slightly. I think I'm going to make an appointment to see the doctors and talk through some stuff. I suffer from anxiety at the best of times, so I don't want this to trigger off other things so I think talking through some things will help.

    But, as you can imagine, our priorities have changed again... we will need to get a bigger car as ours is only a 3-door. Obviously there's plenty of time to choose but we need to save first. It won't be a new car, I don't think, but a new-to-us car which is fine :)

    So, I'm excited for the next chapter of our life :) not gonna lie, I've been waiting about 2 years for this moment! Here's hoping it won't take long :D

    I will admit that when I read your post, for the first time in almost 3 years I felt a little broody. My family is complete (2 boys, 1 girl) and I am totally on board with that but still I felt a little pang of awww :rotfl:

    Just a touch but the boys are both at school now and the littlest goes next August. I will have so much time then so be more frugal :)

    That's so exciting SF! Not to mention scary too!

    I can't wait to be in the same situation but I need to fit in my wedding dress in May :rotfl:

    That's scary about the cats. I'd definitely go to the Dr if you're worried, you want to be as relaxed about the process as you can although I know this is easier said than done!

    I've made an appointment - the earliest I could get was next Tuesday! Just to put my mind at ease more than anything :)
