Found a place we LOVE.... well, the artist's impression of it in finished form... it's still being built which is perfect, i welcome a NEW property... I've been in touch with the agent for more information so we will wait and see what comes of it! Fingers and toes crossed that his answers are what I want:)...Ball is rolling... Have to say that I'm a pretty determined person, once I decide on something there is no letting go till I get there... and I will - eventually :)
Have my first scan on Tuesday (10 wks) so doubly fingers crossed that all is well inside - we're both nervous and excited at the same time:)
This week is finally over, and pay day is around the corner so this means more savings :) Yipee loving this ball in motion - so much planning, and so much to look forward to (although I hate the whole prospect of packing and unpacking, I still relish the idea of change)...
Enjoy your weekend folks and don't forget daylight savings time on Sunday (clock moves one hour forward for summer time) - longer days and brighter mornings :)

Day Dreaming
So this is me, in 2011 mode with my blog... i've obviously got a facebook account (who doesn't) and a Twitter account which i hardly use but there you go.. i'm all in with the times :)
So i'm a 30 something woman, who is 9 weeks pregnant... In a well paid job, albeit a bit boring due to weird colleagues who have little to no social character...i might as well be working with robots in the room!
I'm very excited to be pregnant; we haven't shared the news with anybody yet; we're waiting for the 12 week mark as per tradition or whatever it is. This way there is a degree of anonymity which is great. I grew up like most women, wanting kids and envisaging my future family and thinking up children's names etc., then it all came to an abrupt halt; my friends were all starting their families and the whole scenario of starting family life became very unappealing. This is where i decided that my life was really good as it was, that i was getting older and didn't enjoy the older parenting thing since that is what i grew up with so therefore resigned to the thought that maybe it was better that i just enjoy my life with what i had, travelled as and when, no need for constant price checking and insane budgeting and all the rest that comes with starting a family - till i met my partner; everything in my life turned upside down and the "yearning for a family" seed was planted in my very stubborn head... it eventually fertilised and...... seeded... now i'm nesting :)
So the mad dreams have really begun both literally and metaphorically... who'da thought that being up the duff makes you have all these weird dreams?! I thought that is what eating cheese before you go to bed does to you!! I knew about the sickness (note: no amount of moaning from experienced friends can prepare you for the actual horrendous day/s you can have; in my case, days long of nausea and overall terrible feeling where all i want to do is sleep because it's the only time i don't feel the nauseousness that is my daily feeling. Anyway, enough of that, living it is more than enough, i dont need to talk about it too.
So the dreams... yes... they are plentiful :) My constant right now is a spacious apartment. I will be putting mine on the market in the coming months and take it from there. I have dreams of my little bean racing up and down the corridor in his walker (don't know if we're having a boy, still too early to tell, just know he isnt an "it") giggling and going mad as his little legs move:) A corridor i currently don't have... My current flat has everything we need, but it's compact. Truth be told, when i bought it, it was just me, so the need for space wasn't a major requirement... now it will be.
This is what has started my property hunt obsession... i daily go through property pages to see what is what in the property market; what is out there and what prices are expected... some great deals at the moment. Granted, i will probably lose money selling my place which i bought six years ago but i have to lose to gain; At the time of purchase, i completely gutted my place, re-wiring it, new plumbing etc i basically brought it down to shell and re-built form there upwards. Anyway, we will see...Hopefully this time next year, i will be planning a move into a new home with my little family - fingers and toes crossed...
