Twink that's awful I'm so sorry.

I know nothing of mortgages, having only ever rented, but, I know that sucks sorry hon xx

 

[Laura29]

My V day today 24 weeks

Sorry to hear about your troubles twinkle what a pain

Hope your all well today ladies

One boen every min tonight at 9pm channel 4 yay x

CONGRATULATIONS on V-day! YAY!

Laura I am so excited about one born!! Going to see if hubby will watch it with me...watch this space!

Twink if you need a mortgage broker let me know, mine sorted ours out really quickly. Such a shit thing to be going through and really takes the shine off moving big hug xx

 

[Boosh]

Twink - you need to go to the financial ombudsman as that is ridiculous - you may be able to get some form of compensation from them i.e. moving costs/new temp rental costs etc. Also look on the Money Saving Expert website as they have some really good advice on there! It maybe that a new mortgage company can use alot of the information from the prior application. We are with Natwest and it was a very smooth process. Hope it all gets sorted quickly for you xxx

 

[Kaylip29]

We went with Halifax for our mortgage, for a house on a new development, and they were wonderful. Hope it all gets sorted soon for you Twinkle!

Congrats on V-Day Laura Can't wait for One Born, will have to watch it tomorow morning as hubby won't watch it with me lol think he prefers the idea of going in blind!

Xx

 

[KWarbee]

Oh wow, Twinkle, that's awful. I'm sorry you're going through that. How frustrating and such a rubbish thing to happen at such a late stage as well. I don't know enough about it all but Bonze's advice above sounds pretty good. I hope you manage to find somewhere to rent soon x

YAY!! Congratulations Laura, Happy V-Day!!!

Lola, congratulations on your new home. We bought ours in October and it's lovely to put your own stamp on it. Enjoy decorating!

Lovely bumps, Lacey and Kaylip

Hope you're feeling better, Claire x

Excited about OBEM too. My OH sort of watches them with me; he's usually on his i-pad at the same time but he does half watch. I do sort of insist that he should watch it too; my argument is that we're doing this together and if I've got to give birth to his child then he should at least be prepared for what may or may not happen!

xx

 

[BonzE]

I'm going to use your argument Kwarbee and get my hubby involved! He is excited and is nesting; must sort house now etc! cute really...I'm really relaxed and have only purchased; clothes, a carrier, monitor and mum has got her own Moses basket; My offices are at her house so sort of makes sense for baby to have a bed!

I feel I need to get a wiggle on with buying stuff, especially stuff like maternity pads etc! xx

 

[KWarbee]

Hope it works for you too! My OH is nesting a little bit too, it's very sweet. He announced this morning that he's going to decorate the hallway next and seems quite excited about it.

We are slowly getting there with buying things but I'm really aware that there's lots left to buy. The only 'big' thing we have bought so far is the pram. Still nothing for baby to sleep in and still need to get lots of little bits and bobs xx

 

[Laura29]

I have about 3 outfits / baby grows that's all lol
Oh and a baby play mat
I really need to get my finger out

We already have Moses basket from first lo so will be using that
It's so difficult because I can't really get anything big as we're still waiting on a date for a full rewire on our house time is ticking only 16 weeks till babe is due x

 

[Kaylip29]

I found out last night that my friends are organising a baby shower for me, my hubby had to tell me because I was trying to make plans for the same weekend for the two of us lol. He feels terrible, but he only told me the date, Iv got to pretend I don't know anything

It's on 9th of May, so really quite early! Anybody else know if they will be having one?

Xx

 

[KWarbee]

Awh, that's nice of them, Kaylip!

I'm not sure if I will be having one yet, I've asked my closest friend not to plan one as I don't like the fuss, but I secretly wouldn't mind one

xx

 

[Kaylip29]

I told my friend the exact same thing, and she obviously saw through it lol. I really have never fancied one, but I have secretly changed my mind as pregnancy has gone on, I can't wait to celebrate my baby boy and impending motherhood.

I lost my mum to cancer last year, she was only 50 and couldn't wait for the day she would become a Nan. Its been hard not having her around to ask advice etc, so I am looking foward to celebrating with the other women in my life, i like to think she will be there in spirit.

Xx

 

[BonzE]

Kaylip I think that's even more reason to have one! Sorry to hear your mum won't be there with you, x

I hope to have one, my sister had hers when she was 26 weeks which I thought was early! My mum and cousin are desperate to throw me one, I'm all up for it, happy to have a party! I thought about last weekend in May or mid June...mums bday is 10th so don't want to steal her thunder!!

 

[Boosh]

Afternoon ladies,
Strangely my mum and MIL have both emailed me today to tell me about the baby shower they are joint hosting for me
I just have to write the guest list (not an easy task!) will you ladies be inviting children to yours? There are quite a few children in the family but I don't want it to turn in to a kids party or them to get bored when the grown ups are sitting around talking about babies!
Kaylip - I'm sorry to hear about your mum - like Bonze said it's even more reason to have one! I'm sure she will be smiling down on you xx

 

[KWarbee]

Oh Kaylip, I agree with the other ladies, definitely even more reason to have one. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your mum. She will definitely be looking down at you and your little one

I think an ideal time would be late May/early June. Before we all get too uncomfortable, hopefully! I probably wouldn't invite children to mine. I love my nieces but I think it would become more about the girls and they'd probably be fairly bored too. It's nice to have some adult time discussing baby xx

 

[KWarbee]

I follow millielaura's TTC journal and I think she got her BFP today She's testing with a FRER this afternoon to confirm but it's looking very positive!! xx

 

[BonzE]

None of my friends have kids apart from my family, so will likely have them there!

I am struggling as I not that close to my husbands friends wives; the ex hung around like a bad smell and the girls ostracized me a little; not fair really as she left him and we met 3 years later! Mum said have two but I figured I would just have one huge one and hoe none of them come!

 

[KWarbee]

Bonze, I'm in a similar position. I'm not particularly keen on my OH's friends girlfriends/wives. They were all part of the same 'group' with my OH's ex too and I was the outsider for a couple of years. They're all really close friends but I wouldn't usually talk to them unless we all met up with the men as well. I think I'd be uncomfortable if they were at my baby shower xx

 

[Kaylip29]

Aww fingers and toes crossed for millielaura!!

Thanks ladies, lovely words I probably won't have children at mine just because I think it would be boring for them, also, I think the other mummies there will probably use it as an excuse to have an afternoon off lol. The only ladies from my hubby's side I would like there are his family that I am close to, his sisters, mum etc. Xx

 

[BonzE]

I don't want them there either but hubby has said I should...I am really good friends with two of them (the two that didn't like his ex) but the rest I can take or leave....it's like beings 15 again! Honestly!
