    Thank you Alchemilla and Muser1. :)

    My small aims are trundling along although lunch making has fallen by the wayside recently so I have to get back into sandwiches again.

    DS was very funny last night as he was dancing in front of a mirror butt naked - some of the moves had me and DH in stitches.

    Thanks NG and FF.

    I see a huge joint child birthday next year for all the June MSE toddlers! It would be an absolute madhouse - I can just see it...balloons, chocolate, crisps, us on the bouncy castle, the kids hyper on fizz..........

    we can do apple bobbing!

    I'm a bit stroppy with DH atm for leaving such a messy house so its nice to daydream about parties where I don't have to clear up :)

    Lots of overtime coming up as I've been upped to 4 days a week, although once we've paid nursery fees I only earn about £20 a day! oh well......

    Thank you Kkube :)

    Those vibes and good thought have worked already! I've just tested positive. :D

    I'm not sure whether I should tell DH yet or not. I had a miscarriage in Feb and it was quite traumatic so it took some convincing to get him agree to try again. Maybe a quiet month or two wouldn't be a bad thing...
