Aw yeah I have had that about our new puppy. She is 14 weeks now and already knows paw, sit, stay, high five, can walk well on the lead and responds to her name. She is almost toilet trained and is doing great especially considering she was sick when we bought her and we had to take her to puppy hospital She is better now But everyone has been saying "what will you do when you have a baby, puppies and babies don't mix" ... uh by the time we try (after our wedding which is a year and a half away) she will be a dog! and then i get the "but a dog and a baby is hard work" ... yes they are, but it's not mission freakin impossible now is it?
People always try tell me we are taking on too much. We are aiming to buy in April (saved 650 this month) but i start new job soon and it doubles our money because the pay is double what i make now a year. So we calculated out our bills, 200 for fun stuff, and 150 for unexpected bills, and the 200 for saving for a new car (we might jsut get one on finance) and then after that we could save 1000 a month for the deposit, we need 6000 for deposit and legal fees as its 5% deposit for first time buyers and 1000 legal fees, his dad has a van so we wont need to hire one. so we should have the deposit by January but i want to add 3 months to our goal just in case. His parents have offered to loan us the money so we can buy faster and pay it off over two years, we are consdiering it but i would love to do it ourselves.
We then have our wedding in december, our bills should be the same ish, maybe 100 more in new house as it will be similar size and mortgage repayments for house in our budget would be the same as rent. Then between jan/april we can save more for the wedding, 1000 a month if needed. I have 1000 aside for the wedding and only have 3000 after that to pay off.
I don't see that as mission impossible. I see that as hard but doable.
Also i totally get the turning down a night out or drink and everyone "knowing" you're pregnant when your not! You just don't want to drink.
