Thanks girls.

Well, had a big rant yesterday so feel a bit better now, if a bit upset DH has today off work too so it's not my slob day, it's with him IYSWIM? I like time to myself! I haven't met anyone my age with children yet... but I'm really hoping to at the antenatal classes! The girls at Church with babies are usually 4-14 years older than me, so no-one really that close in age. DH is really feeling that gap! As I said, it would help a lot if his friends were even thinking about settling down, but his best mate doesn't even have a girlfriend so it's not looking too likely.

Actually, I'm looking forward to playing up the "mummy and daddy don't do cool" bit - my dad loves irritating my sister by getting words wrong, like "widgie" instead of wedgie, and I can't wait to start that! Just to see the look on my sister's face. I know, I'm a big meanie, but she's so easy to wind up and when she calms down a couple of minutes later laughs the loudest.

I am looking forward to having a few years pre-retirement to have money for me and DH; I'd rather have money at the end than get to retirement and find I'm still paying for weddings and University and whatnot.

I think he's ignoring the issue because he doesn't like his job, so is job-hunting. He never tells me much what's going on, so it took half an hour to prise out of him what he's doing with work today (he's stressed... that's it). Anyway, let's hope he gets a new job soon with less stress and so we can enjoy parenthood a bit more!
