H&F: We will all be there with you on the day just like Maybe said I remember how stressfull it all was so big to you!

Bobby's great naps are going downhill. He went to sleep at 12.40pm and he woke up at 1.20pm He had calpol before bed so I thought it would help with his teething

 

[L-C]

Maybe.....early night that's late for me lol. I could go to bed now ha ha

I've had a rubbish day, just seem to be rushed off my feet, at home and work. Because we are TTC I can't even have a drink.

H&F that's so sweet of you! It'll all come together and be amazing xxxx

Modo fingers crossed they go back to normal, Will's seem to do that every now and then, he's refused a morning nap this week but has slept at lunch time fortunately x

 

[maybebaby3]

well kids are in bed and i have a pan of homemade tomato and basil soup on the hob for when danny comes home from work. i also made a tomato salad (danny's favourite) but am cheating for the main and making caribbean chicken curry. it's from morissons and comes with the chicken in a marinade and brings the veg and rice and sauce and you just fry it up. lazy option

 

[emera35]

Well, yay, i just got my

The timing is shockingly bad, but i think i'm thrilled. Really i had way to much going on in my head already, this may just tip me over the edge....

Waaaay too much for one week, life just needs to pace itself a bit here!

Yay though

I'm having a glass of wine right now, by way of celebration, and trying to stop my head coming off with excess emotions.

Please say nothing on FB as i don't want to let my family know yet, they have other things going on for now, and i'll tell them in good time.

 

[Mork]

OMG EMERA!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations hon!!!!!!!
You know we dont say it all the time, but we are all thinking of you xxxx

 

[emera35]

Thanks, i am excited really! Just, bleh, couldn't face anything going wrong ontop of everything else. Ah well i shall think happy and positive thoughts OH just turned round to me with a look of total horror and said "what if its twins?!" his mild panic is very amusing

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh Emera what wonderful news!!!! I could not be more happy for you - you so deserve something wonderful like this to happen Woo hoo!!!!!

Maybe I don't think there is a 'lazy' option when you're cooking three courses

Modo I hope the naps get better again soon

L-C I hope you have a lovely relaxing evening

H&F Bless you, you are so sweet, I can't wait to see pictures!!

We bought Oliver a Weebles tree house today, I think Steve spent more time playing with it than Oliver

We also made the BIG mistake of looking in the Estate Agent window We've seen a house to rent thats just perfect for us, and the rent is easily affordable too. Its for sale or rent but to buy it we'd need at least a £28k deposit which we don't have at the moment. Steve and I had 'agreed' that we would stay here for another two years and save up a deposit, with the aim that we could move in two years but keep this house on and rent it out. Now I'm wondering what the pros and con would be of renting this house out now and moving into rented ourselves. It would take us longer to save a deposit to buy another house . . . . I was perfectly happy thinking we's stay here for two years and save up and now this house has got me thinking, argh!!!!!! Its so much bigger, its just lovely, argh!!!!

 

[hope&faith09]

Sorry for not catching up properlry but I am shattered - going to the doctors tomorrow as I am constantly dizzy and tired at the moment and I dont know what on earth is wrong with me.

I just wanted to say a huge congrats to Emera! thats wonderful news. x x x

 

[Sarahwoo]

I just text Steve saying I looked at the house on Right Move and its even more lovely on the inside than the outside, and half joking said shall we just rent this out and go and rent that - expecting him to say don't be silly - and he text back 'Yeah look into it'

 

[modo]

Just lost a post

Congratulations Emera I am so so so glad this has happened for you!

 

[emera35]

Sarah - Oh exciting! You never know, if you get a buy to let mortgage on the house you have now, you might be able to make money on the rent and also release any equity you have to save towards a deposit. Meanwhile, you could live in the rented house, keep saving, and then offer to buy it when you've saved enough if you decide you like living in it enough

H&F - Hope you feel better soon. Likely you are just over doing it a bit. With all the wedding arrangements and Amy to take care of i bet you never even sit down, let alone make sure you are well hydrated and are having plenty of balanced meals! I know i don't, and i'm not planning a wedding!

 

[modo]

Maybe: the dinner sounds delicious!

Sarah: I sooo want to move somewhere bigger and rent this house. With my work situation it's not likely


I don't want to give too much details on a public forum but I hurried a lawyer about my work situation. Hopefully we will get a resolution so I can move on.

 

[hope&faith09]

Thank you - the thing I am fearful of last time I was feeling like this I was expecting ... which although would be lovely I just dont feel its the right time at the moment and with my last 2 mc's I am not sure I could cope at the moment.

Right I am off to try and find some organza bags to put favours in and ribbon trees - I hate spending hours on the internet looking for things I can never find!

 

[Sarahwoo]

H&F - Organza bags - Ebay . . . I'll get you a link to a good seller, she's in Hong Kong but I use her a lot and her stuff is lovely and a good price If not tell me what you want and I'll go to the wholesaler, loads cheaper than paying full price at Confetti or somewhere.

What are ribbon trees?!?!

I've had a quick look at the figures and it would be complicated. Steve just called and we cooed over the other house Bloody right move and their lovely pictures If we want to seriously look into it I will call the mortgage company and get the figures and stuff. A lot would depend on what this place was valued at and the LTV. A lot of things would need to go in our favour. I'm almost afraid to look too much into it incase we couldn't and I'd got my heart too set on it

This is the house, the garden isn't great but it would be okay, and I could have my business in the basement with a guest room and maybe a play room. Not that I've been thinking about it waaaaay too much!

Modo I hope you get something sorted soon re your job

 

[emera35]

Modo big you sound so frustrated and annoyed about your job issues, i really hope its all resolved properly for you before long

Sarah the house is lovely! I could only dream of affording something like that! We'll have to move soon i expect, its a shame as we'll likely have to move out of this area to afford anything bigger, but we only have 2 bedrooms here and one of those is tiny, so if there is 4 of us, we'll need more rooms. Shame, i love my flat, if only we could extend

 

[Sarahwoo]

Emera we would struggle to afford to buy it, but the rent is really reasonable, which I don't understand

It's a shame you can't extend, I find the whole house ownership / moving thing stressful just thinking about it

 

[maybebaby3]

emera - CONGRATS on the your babies will have more or less the same age gap as dylan and erin. it's hard work a first but worth it IMO. it's lovely that you have had some good news after your tragedy

sarah - the house is GORGEOUS! i'd have to get a bigger mortgage than that to buy a 4 bed flat here! and talking small 4bed!!! look into it

h&f - is af late?

modo - it's crappy that your work issues have dictated that you can't move for now but it'll all work out in the end i'm sure.

well dinner was a success and i rewarded myself with a crunchie icecream (all within the ww points)!!!

i forgot to say owen fell off the sofa. my mum put him there and he knows how to get down safely but god knows what happened my mum went to look at dylan and erin who were painting, i was cooking their dinner in the kitchen and i heard a huge thump and a scream and poor owen was lying there with an enormous bruise on his forehead poor thing, our tiles are really hard. he's ok but the bruise is massive. i think i need to get some arnica!

oh well it's gone midnight so i guess i'd best go and get some sleep. danny's taking dylan to school on the moped (though the school is 2 mins walk away!) as we bought him a helmet today. it may sound strange to you in the UK but here everyone has a moped. i need to buy one for work. there's parking shortage so most people get by with mopeds and use the cars for bigger trips. he's so excited that daddy's going to take him to school on the moped even though it'll take danny longer to drive him there than walk him over

goodnight all xxx xxx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe how cute that Dylan is all excited! When we've been to the south of france for holidays everyone has a moped, we saw people with babies on them and all sorts, it completely terrifies me

We're really lucky that property prices around here are fairly reasonable, but its still really nice. Leeds is more expensive but I really wouldn't want to live in Leeds. I'd move to Harrogate but its a long drive for Steve to get to work, and its a lot further away from my parents. And its pricey.

Right, I'm off to bed, I had so much I wanted to get done tonight and I ended up just looking at BTL mortages
