    ali I can't imagine there'll be any ground breaking plans, just the usual Osborne budget slashing! Mrs SJ/Corbyn won't be happy ��

    Well it's D'day today!

    I've started it with a big cup of tea (of the Gold variety) and a TT of 21p. So we're slightly behind our TT target and need a further £7.88 in 10 days...

    So a quiet day or 2 for me on here, but I'll keep up the TT's!

    Done and dusted! 8lb 9oz, mum and daughter doing well. All went relatively smoothly. Was tough leaving them, but had to come home to sort 2 boys out for bed and school!
