    Those are 2 brilliant posts! Your house sold really quickly and that's a great offer. Really pleased for you.

    Mat leave might be spent house hunting then?

    Another month knocked off the mortgage. More debt reduced. Generally onward and upward for us.

    We found another perfect house but were outbid after initially placing the same bid as our competitor. I'm not sure if it's hormones but I actually cried when I found that out this afternoon. Luckily another house has come on the market which is equally perfect so hopefully we can get an offer in for that tomorrow and be more sucessful.

    38 and a half weeks pregnant now and I have the biggest bump known to man! Polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) is the cause although they don't know why I have this so I am just like an egg on legs. I'm a little nervous they are talking about inducing early as a result possibly next week. Wish me luck!

    Fingers crossed the offer is accepted. Sounds like you might be busy next couple of weeks. You really have not stopped during your pregnancy!

    Exciting times for you.
