Wow Faye love your ticker! Will Caleb be about 18 months when you try for no. 2 then? Mine is starting to scare me a little now, but in a good way!
The part we would need for the car would, if we bought it new, cost more than we paid for the car! So we have our mechanic friend on the look out for a used part, which should only set us back about £100... despite having paid out all that money for insurance, and having the tax due next month, it would still be worth it to keep her on the road for another year (fx'd). I love my car, I don't want to get rid of her! It has been a hassle this week though, especially as OH had to provide holiday cover for the Bicester store for work, which is about 25miles away! He has been begrudging using public transport all week - I'm glad he finally knows how I feel!
Absolutely nothing wrong with being prepared Bec! Personally, I don't think there is any difference between deciding what you want to buy at this stage, and saving money away. If we had more space in our flat, I'd probably even go as far as to buy certain things, because I know then I can't spend the money on something else! But I think that would scare the OH a little too much - he's not keen on letting people know until we are pregnant, as he thinks they will disagree with us, or say we're too young. Boring! Who cares what other people think really?!
Feel like I ranted a bit there haha! x
