Happy New Year all!
Thanks for the input re taking off the pull ups at night - I still haven't as yet, only as ds has been having the odd nightmare so want to get over that, as well as the washing machine just broke and haven't got any proper waterproof sheets yet, but will do soon!
Lady, your Christmas sounded lovely despite the oven and dodgy gifts for dp Hope you enjoyed the party NYE! Hope you come to a decision soon re the 3rd. I bet it keeps you up at times thinking about it all. I can relate to a lot of your and dps fears about another, as most of them would be on my list (if I had one!) but if you still have that niggling, then it can't be overlooked. Big list of pros and cons needed for you I reckon.
Arti - am so so thrilled for your latest news of the scan. What a great way to start the new year x True what you say as my brother said the same about do I want anyone coming (40th plans) if they don't help out as much as I'd like, but I think it's just that I'd like my family there despite their shite effort with the kids. Actually, they put in a massive effort after I had a small spat with Dad, although you could tell it wasn't coming naturally. I've realised I'm never gonna change them and have accepted that so then I feel fine about it. I will however do something, where if they want to come along, its great, but won't cost us anymore etc, and won't be relying on them to babysit.
Lovely to see you PD!! It has been far too long!
Beans you sound chipper, great to hear it. I think dh bickering is quite common over the hols especially with littles about more and all that. Hows your Mum doing and how is chilli?
Kayz how long it DP away for? I second the low carbing, however I have done none of such in the last 6weeks, so am really podgy and have been about .08 bac since mid Dec! Diet, joining gym and detox is on, as soon as the next day or so pass and I'm over being sad that parent's went home last night.
Well done to DS and his de-pulluping!!
Vag, I have shared your pic although I only know about 2 people in Sydney. You never know though. How awful for her small children and family - hoping they get good news soon. The story sounds so odd?
I'd be up for a Veggie related trip if it was not too spendy, however we have just decided to cut all travel and big spending this year as will be moving in November [sigh] Actually it's only news in the last few days, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Basically the LL was going to sell the house to us when we were ready at the end of this lease at a very much undervalued price, but his health has deteriorated rapidly recently and he's decided to start liquidating assets on advice, so is getting a house valuation (tomorrow) instead, and has instructed the agent to do formal viewings 2 months before our lease ends. We are of course welcome to make an offer earlier (which we can't) however after he gets the valuation we know he will probably not accept the low price he was going to let us have it for, and therefore it won't be worth our while. We only wanted to buy it to make easy money, and if we can't, would rather buy something with slightly more land and something we would prefer to live in. Did any of that make sense?
Anyway, if we don't sell the flat, then it's pretty much dh working non-stop and me doing less and less of my work and helping dh more so he can works more.
Crikey, that was long....
Still full of cold here and feeling a bit foggy so off to medicate!
