We did go to Rome for my 30th a few yrs ago, but I had to do all the arranging! For Dh's b'day we used to go to his work and while he wasn't at the van decorate it stupidly, but we only have 1 car now which he uses to get to work to collect the van (isn't allowed van home), so I ain't using the bus to do it....think the boys missed doing it this year!! Do the opposite of what u usually do for him, might make more of an impact?
I used to have a few 'off' days when swaying, it's tough and I can't imagine having to do it over xmas, so a few days of what u like is good for the soul...keeps you going. If I hadn't of cheated a day here and there after OV I would off completely gone off the waggon!
Babymad, how are you? been thinking of you, wondering how you are? Glad u had a lovely time away!
Kell, I go through phases I can and can't be bothered with sex. Still waiting on this increased sex drive you read about....think I missed it!!! lol It's getting a bit more 'difficult' now tho! lol But Dh says he doesn't mind, know he prob does, just being kind about it. He knows that it's not c'os I don't want to, just getting awkward!!! Enjoy ur weekend.
Sunset, hope Serena's 1st night at home went well? and ur both well?
Maybe, I get this 'furry feeling' as I call it lol.... when it seems like a baby is digging down into my cervix, usually when on the laptop/ leaning forward. It's a horrible feeling....can be uncomfy too. Hope baby Dave leaves ur cervix alone!! lol
LWM, still feeling sick?? Might be a 'girly' sign for you if u weren't sick with the boys? I was sick with ds2 and the twins, not ds1, but to have 2 pg's with no MS, now u have it! FX it's a girly sign for u!
Charlie, how are u keeping?
Z, what time is your scan on tues? My mum was coming with me, but Dh might get home earlier, mine's at 2.30pm. Boys keep asking when they can see the babies on the TV!! Bless. Can't wait till 18th to surprise them! think we will take them sledging b4 we go. I will need to watch :( They got lovely new sledges for xmas....and NO snow!! plenty of wind tho, they could prob go on the sand and get blown up the beach!!! lol
Deaks, how are u? any news?
Hi to everyone else! and any newbies I have missed!
May have found a car! It's thankfully only 40 miles away, so might go up tomorrow and see it. I've always bought from big name garages, but this is a smaller family run garage, so not sure if they will trade in our car, if so what will we get for it etc... We got out current car for £11,000 18mths ago. It's now 3yrs old and the garage we bought it from only want to give us £7,300!!! almost £4k loss in 18mths....NO CHANCE! the only prob with the new car, well MPV!! is it doesn't have tinted windows or Alloy's which are HIGH on dh's list of musts!!! Told him to pack in the cigs and he can add these things. (I wish) It's a 6 seater, which suits us better, alot of the 7 seaters don't have any boot space and the ones that do have high insurance and tax. It's also another Diesel, a Honda and in Black which was more of Dh's tick boxs! lol Basically our car, same engine, but with 6 seats. Downside to MPV's is you have to buy with higher mileage and a bit older to get a bigger car. But hope it lasts just over 3yrs till car loan paid off then we can choose a new car Dh really wants and not need to worry about boot space for a twin buggy! Stresses me out as I'm the 'finances' person in the house, Dh ain't got a clue!! about ANYTHING! Bills etc....he couldn't even guess what we pay. He just gives me his wages into our joint acct minus his cig money and that's his job done in his eyes!!! lol
Have a great weekend ladies! x
