Hello everyone 
Sorry if I was a bit self abosorbed yesterday - feeling a bit better now, after a sleepless night, lots of tears and talking we've decided to stay on the boat until we're offered a nice housing association house. We were planning on renting privately before then but if we do that it's going to mean going overdrawn for a few months and it feels like we'd be constantly paying things off. We'll be able to save a bit of money this way hopefully - we've been thrown completely by DP being made employed instead of self employed which means he's working a month in lieu and has the big tax bill.
My parents would pay for the deposite on somewhere but really don't want them to and we'd still have loads of bills to pay that we don't have to living here. Know my mum is going to try and make us move in with them but we're not going to. They're still in the long process of building their house and haven't got central heating / hot water and they're in the middle of nowhere and they'd do my head in being with them for significant amounts of time.
So... we're staying here. DP has promised to make things really lovely - we're going to get the central heating system sorted so we don't have to run the engine to have hot water and clear all the rubbish out to make space for Chicken's things.
sorry - went on a bit there...!!!
Helen, I love your fuzzy bump - my hair is really dark so I've got random dark hairs all over my stomach. Your kitchen is lovely too, it'll be worth all the mess and waiting when you can get in there and use it properly It's my sisters birthday on 24th Jan too. Ohhhhh, I finished knitting the jumper on the pattern you sent me - I've just got to sew some buttons on (when I've bought them!), I didn't know how it was all going to fit together but it's looking jumper shaped at least!!!!!! I'm having a go at crocheting the rest of the wool I didn't need, I've got a small square so far that's looking a bit of a mess...
LuluBee, sorry you'll miss the opening, glad Matt is looking after you and everything else as well - he sounds amazing. Think it's times like this when we realise we chose the right men to have babies with!!! (I do when I'm not shouting at him because my hormones are all over the place anyway). Is Pip still making you jump?
princessellie - it's lovely to see you back here, how's everything going? x
baby D - hugely impressed with your stamina, must really take it out of you sometimes doing that job especially at the moment. Have you sorted out when you're going to start your maternity leave? You're on double digits tomorrow!!

Michelle - THIRD TRI!!! I'm scared of the third tri! Will move over with you all whenever you want to though... Don't mind going in early, I think I'll mentally stay in the second tri for at least a month though xxx
Dragonfly - hope you found something to eat, sounds terrible there. My DP has IBS so ends up having to just eat meat / soup when things are really bad. Hope you found some lovely gluten free stuff for tea Hope things improve with your teeth - I'm desperate for a dentist, I'm on a waiting list and so just waiting for them to find someone to hire - it's ridiculous and really frustrating. Hope you've got one that can sort you out
Jaylene: I'm going to make it next weeks mission to get that button sewn on and to buy one of those special envelope thingys. Can't believe I haven't done it yet. How are you feeling now? xxx
Hello everyone else - hope you're all ok and enjoying your bumps
Thanks for all your support everyone, you're all amazingly wonderful.
