WOW 3 more weeks MissLol - isn't it going quickly!! I think I've got around 3 weeks left too now, I'm finishing on the 30th June which is only 2 weeks before my EDD.
I wonder which one of us will pop first?!?!?!?!?
Just got back from a weekend away of visiting parents up north. Had a lovely weekend chilling out but one of the main reasons we went was to pick up the Travel System but no joy. Apparently its stuck at Customs and won't be released until later on this week!
Please be aware that the next part of my post is a bit of a rant so feel free to skip it!!!
We've had a bit of a nightmare over the past week...........and its really put a dampner on our imminent arrival which is a horrible thing to have to admit!!
We've been looking for a flat to rent (we live in SW London / Surrey) but its so expensive down here that we were trying to get on with a 1 bed for the time being so we can continue to save for a deposit to eventually buy. We've been fobbed off and pissed around by estate agents that much that last Tuesday DP called me at work to have a rant as they had apparently lied to him again and I just burst into tears at my desk! I haven't been back to work since. I really got to the point where I thought I couldn't cope. Anyway the long and short of it is that, we've put holding deposits down on numerous properties only to be told that the landlord has decided they do not want children living there - very much their right to do so but ever so disheartening to hear.
The store we bought the Travel System from went bust!! Luckily, there is another shop called Pram World who have agreed to honour all of there outstanding orders - so we've not lost out thank goodness.
We live with DP's father who isn't a particularly nice soul at the best of times and he has been such a nasty piece of work recently that it has just added ten fold to the stress we are both under.
DP had a car accident and completely smashed up his van (his fault). He blames having his head up his arse becuase of everything thats been going on, which is probably true. He has been super snappy at me, which teamed with my irrational emotional state is not the best of combinations. He is never like that either so I've got him on Kalms to try and take the edge of his temper!
I drove 2.5hrs to work the other day to give a presentation to a couple of directors, only to get there an realise I'd forgotten my laptop!!!
and then......I got stuck in a lift at work which, although rather funny now, at the time was just the icing and the cherry on top of a big fat cake!!
So as you can see - we definately needed a weekend away.
On the plus side though, just before we left for the good old North of England on Thursday we viewed a flat. A bit further out of the way than we would've liked and not in a great area but you have to make compromises don't you. Newley refurbed, ground floor, 2 Beds and its lovely and big and they were asking £750 pcm which is what we were looking to spend on a 1 bed. We put the holding deposit down on it straight away and its off the market pending our Credit checks etc. So keep your fingers crossed - its also empty at the moment so we can move in asap once everything is sorted. DP got his van back, FIXED, this morning so can now start booking jobs in and not sit on his bun at home, and although the Pushcahir wasn't ready for us we got the car seat just in case and they have agreed to deliver the rest of the Travel System to my work as soon as it comes in!!
PHEW!!
DP is currently naggin at me to log off as he wants to go and look at baby furniture - we never thought we'd get the chance to do up a nursery!!!.
So I must dash - sorry for the incredibly long me me me post. I hope you are all very well.
Speak soon xxxx
