bleuravin - havent finished reading so dont know if you sorted it out with your dh but think a lot of men prefer to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to money. we had a few problems with dh not telling me about a big credit card debt - had a pretty big fight about it when i found out, but once i did, we got the payments increased and paid it all off by August so things are soo much better financially now - i pretty much have to force him to let me deal with the money - so maybe as boffinmum says you need to gently but firmly tell him you will become his personal accountant for paying bills etc.
money (and the roof leaking) are about the only two things that keep me awake at night (apart from ds of course) so the sooner you can get it sorted, the more you can enjoy these last glorious weeks of being pg (conkertree runs behind the communal sofa and ducks from all the cushions being thrown)
mathsmummy - piglet outfit? where from - i think i will need one for this lo.
nutty - love your mantra for bb - will need to remember that one.
babybolat - hope you are feeling better today and hope you can speak to your bosses (or just get to the end of the week and then collapse and have a really realxing weekend). - just read your post from last night - glad to hear you have a nice relaxing weekend lined up.
boffinmum - yay to the treatment - hope it actually works this time round. and yay to babybolat for helping out with the letter. think a spice girls song is called for here.
puzzlerocks - the gruffalo is a favourite of ds's too. julia donaldson's son is one of my uni friends too - they are one of these very talented and very lovely families (a bit like i imagine boffinmums to be) - and the gruffalo gets recited in the dark every night as ds goes to sleep (by me not him).
nutty - not fair about the lush stuff - i am allergic to sodium laureth sulphate (the bit that makes bubbles) so cant use hardly any lovely bath smelling things. boo. hope you enjoyed it though.
babypringle - chickens are not hard work at all - they mess up the garden a bit - although they also contribute fertiliser to the vegetable patch, but you can leave them for a few days without asking a neighbour to feed them as they wont overeat, so you just leave enough food for a few days and water, and they are fine. ds absolutely loves running around the garden with them too. and there is the obvious benefit of fresh eggs pretty much every day.
oh dear nutty - just got to last night's posts. poor you - think you and boffin deserve medals when this is all over. will retract my earlier comment about enjoying the last few weeks of pg. hope you can get some help today.
right will post and see if a new thread has been started while i was writing this .
