DH has just finished building an Oak conservatory which is beautiful and we have ordered Laura ashley furniture so very excited...big peoples room only! :) Hope you get it! X

Sounds lovely hun! We too have renovated our house... a victorian townhouse from scratch and had planned to stay here a few more years til we saw this farmhouse on the internet. Anyway been speaking to estate agents all day and been left dwelling on how much you really have to put your trust in them. The agents selling the farmhouse have basically said that another couple have conincidentally today (the house has been on the market for over a year) put in an offer higher than ours but are in no better position to buy. Left wandering if they are being truthful or bullshitting us into making a higher offer and getting our own home sold sharpish. Something just didnt ring true with what he was saying. What i do know is that we are standing firm with our offer!

Anyway rant over, how are you ladies? X

oh and babymad, i too have always dreamed of a house in the country with loads of kids and animals....heaven! X

Girls sorry I haven't been around almost everyone has been poorly and I've just skimmed through about 20 pages will try to get back on here a bit better now xxxxx

Indigo - lovely piccies!!! So cute.

Wow - there are a few of us having scans in the next week or so!! Someone simply has to have a girl cooking in there!

Ohhhh maybe pink - you have yours the day before me!!! I'm getting anxious about it too. This week has been going so slowly!

deaks - the farmhouse sounds wonderful! I would love to do something like that!!!

DH and I have been discussing areas. When we go back to the UK we can technically live anywhere! As my parents aren't around I don't feel a closer tie to any area. One brother lives in Surrey and one in Hampshire so we might stay in the south... Its very complicated. We need somewhere to live but if we rent before getting a job it will limit where he can apply for jobs. :)

Question for you guys - when do you register child to start school? Also can you only apply to those closest to you?

Had a lovely last day of the holidays yesterday. Took the boys to Melbourne Museum. They loved it and they slept fantastically last night :D DH is now back at work! Eeek - had 6 weeks with an extra pair of hands and now just me! :)

Charlie - wow that was a good reading. Fingers crossed shes right about the girly bit!!!!

I would say they are DEFO bullshitting......they tried to do that to my friend and when you start pushing for more info they stopped putting that pressure on! They must be very disparate to sell it!!

Thanks Hun! Yeah I reckon they are desperate to sell it and the lady is desperate to get as near the asking price as possible. Just wish they could be more honest. But I guess if she just said I want more for it, then she would run the risk of us saying forget it. This way they are creating competition but she has something to fall back on (our original offer) if we don't bite. Just so suspicious how it's taken a few days for her to apparently get back to the agents...more like the agents were buying time to make up a story! Anyway I got a plan so gonna stick to it!

Hun how are you doing this week? Hope things are getting a little easier.

it's so exciting with all the upcoming scans :D I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more healthy, bouncing bubbas and pink news!!! :cheer:

Maybebaby ~ yes I will definitely ask to see the paperwork if i do get pregnant again in the future and like you I will not tolerate the faffing!! no way! I think that was the worst part about my whole experience, being so sick and having to see 20 different consultants who all told me different things and who all had different ideas on how to best manage the preeclampsia and as a result having my treatment plan changed every day and being force fed all sorts of pills like a guinea pig but no one explaining to me why or what i was even taking or what was happening to me.. i found it all to be a very frightening experience to be honest and i think it was all very, very badly handled! it really proved to me how flawed the NHS is!

Littlemisswilko ~ i probably did pay £79 then, i just cant remember. I definitely payed £99 for the early scan :agree:

threelittlemen ~ good to hear from you! glad you're all doing better! :)

sorry short one, i will catch up properly on all the posts later on!

AFM we've got our appointment to register Serena tomorrow and then my driving test is on friday :running: to say i'm nervous would probably be an understatement!!! I soooooo want to pass!
