Evening! Sorry for the radio silence - a mad few days here.
Scarlet, belated happy anniversary! Glad you had a lovely time, and glad DS is doing ok :)
Scream, yes, this will be the first house we've owned! We've been renting for five years (three of which we were students), and it's going to be so wonderful to finally have a place we can do whatever we want to! I can see why it would be almost as significant as your wedding day - it's very important to both of us too.
jen, we're viewing a complete range of places, don't worry! Having only moved last a year ago (into rented, as we only had a month to find somewhere, which was cutting it fine for a mortgage!), we already have quite a clear idea of what we want. We've viewed six houses so far, and there's a couple we're very interested in, so we're slowly getting there!
Little, lovely to hear from you. I hope you're taking things easy, and as feeling ok as you can be.
Wants, sounds like you picked up some real bargains! Sorry to hear about the spotting, but sounds like you're handling it well - I was told by the doctors that spotting later on was both very common, and a sign of doing too much..!
Hawthers, glad the lactation lady was helpful. I hope things are going a little better now, and that you're feeling more confident that you're doing things right!
Dream, you must be exhausted after the zoo trip! Very brave of you though - and I'm sure DD loved it? :)
So.. up and down here. Viewed three houses over the past three days. Saw a very interesting one yesterday afternoon, that we're incredibly tempted by - three bed end of terrace, so room for the future too. There's a couple of things that need doing (like a ground floor cloakroom), and a couple of other niggles.. the biggest worry is the living room though. Until we could get a conservatory on there we'd need to fit the lounge, dining table and a piano in the lounge. It's a bit tight, but we think it's do-able.. what's the betting that the only place we think we could put the piano turns out to be where the radiator is though? Didn't notice when we were there, can't see it in the photos! Making it worse is that we can't view it again until at least Wednesday to see if our suspicions are confirmed..
Also did some baby shopping at the Tesco baby event - so we now have clothes, nappies, breast pump and bottles etc - we're basically just about prepared.
Also feeling highly hormonal today. DH left earlier to spend a couple of nights away for work - saw a lovely note from him as soon as I got in and have been in waves of tears ever since. Ridiculous! When we first moved here, he had to go to Bristol for the rest of the week and I was left alone with no tv and no internet for a week, having to navigate scary non-London trains - no problem, but yet he goes away for two nights now and I go into meltdown. At least I realise I'm being a little ridiculous I suppose!
