Notcitrus and Pidge - good luck with the builders. i would say that dd came early and i was never aware of her head engaging - I'd had a check up a week before I think, and there was no sign of anything happening.
Our electrician (maybe the slowest in history, or maybe I was optimistic thinking re-wiring would only take a couple of weeks) is still here 4 weeks on. I tried to get a finish date out of him, but most I could get was "there shouldn't be too much left to do by next weekend". As dd was born just before 36 weeks and I'm 35 weeks tomorrow, I'm getting anxious. I've even bought some newborn nappies now, I'm starting my preparations at last!
We have to get our stuff out of storage this weekend to avoid paying any longer - have no idea where we're going to stash it all as work's still underway.
Anyone with money problems, it's horrible isn't it? I have some money aside which was to do the house up, so that's saved us from debt, but it's fast dwindling, just going on day to day stuff - partner has cut back on his work to start up his new business, so money is tight, and he puts all the responsibility on me to cut down on spending (and I only spend on the household shopping at that!) by going to the market and Lidl instead of Tesco/Sainsburys. However, he is still smoking, going out every night (until stayed in for about 3 nights this week) and wanting takeaways....we are arguing all the time, and life isn't very cheerful right now.
OK - moan over!
Glad you're happy with your new dr Eandz
