    Thanks! :D:D

    I think we will still have scary months :o - even without debts, our budget is pretty tight. But I feel like we are in control of our finances now, which means that the extension (or moving house, if the extension doesn't work out) is something that we can just about afford to do, instead of panicking about the mortgage payments.

    I wont stray too far from DFW though, for fear of slipping back into debt. :o

    Hahaha Bob, I will be very careful because I think there's a very fertile vibe on this forum at the moment! Another baby would be lovely, but we just can't afford one, and I do usually feel like two is enough.....but then I see little babies and I think 'awwwwww.....maybe just one more......'!

    Especially when my two are behaving as nicely as they are today - Ryan is playing with his Transformers toys and Natasha is asleep with her head on my knee (so I am trapped here, right next to the computer....what a shame.....:D).

    I know what you mean about affordability...baby wise, luckily Mr.b was fixed, so unless i find Pierce brosnan pining after me (not in a million years) It will never happen again..and verging on the too old for all of that malarky as well.

    Hi Bargainfinder :wave: quidco is fab isn't it - glad you've started your own thread, I look forward to reading how you get on.

    Bob, I think I am bordering on too old too to be honest. I'm not sure my body could cope with another pregnancy! :o

    Beanie - we go away in just over a week! :j :j I have to drive back on the Saturday to go to work, and then Stu has to come back for 4 days too, so it will be a bit of a jumbled holiday and not entirely relaxing, but it's better than nothing, and at least we will have used the folding camper (it's only been sitting on the drive for 10 months :rolleyes:). I am really looking forward to it.
