  • Felt my first kick last night, we are having a ninja! :rotfl:

    Wait till baby is bigger and decides to turn over/move from one side to the other/stick bum out.

    Looks like something out of a low budget sci fi film. :eek:

    Wonderful and terrifying in equal measure :D
  • Ah, lovely. Keep stashing the money away, they are expensive little blighters! X x

    Went out for dinner with friends last night - oh how the other half life! Just discovered that one couple (early 30s) had just bought a £400k house :eek: :eek:

    Now, I realise that green is not an attractive colour on anyone, but I can't get my head around it. They have normal jobs, granted they work hard, but I know people earning £50k+ who wouldn't spend that. The bank of mum and dad is very powerful, find it odd that a young couple own a house as expensive/more expensive than parents 30 years older than them!

    Keep slogging away, eh? :)

    Just think about the council tax, heating, leccy, insewerants, et.c et.c bills and the CLEANING.

    You are so financially wise so early and thats a gift your mates can't buy.
