trust me it's not nice!
i mean it's great that he wants kids, but i feel like there's extra pressure on me to pro-create!

Lol - pro create! I go through two very differing emotions! I do really want a baby, we're financially secure, got a house, good jobs, are happy blah blah blah, then I think I need to lose the weight first and then have a baby as it'll be doubley hard to lose baby weight and this pre-baby weight! xxx

i know what you mean. we're living at my parents at the moment, so i'm a bit like...there's no way i'm having a baby and living at my parents!
...and the main reason i'm dieting is to have a baby. i'd love one now and i think it would be the making of him, but a few circumstances need to change first, mainly where we live and my weight!
i spoke to my gp on the phone today about my spot bleeding period. she said that she'd like me to go on another course of the same tablets in a few weeks time, but i told her i'm very reluctant due to the side effects. she was fine about it and said she will refer me to a gynaecologist(sp?) anyway as she wants to get me sorted!

i'd move out tommorrow if we could, but we can't really afford it.
well we can, but we're holding off for a bit as we're not sure if we want to buy or rent.

Its a bloody expensive game this house owning lark isnt it!! We had to put (well dint have to - but it made it easier) a £25,000 deposit down when we bought this house, so it wiped us out! Why would you rent and not buy? I dont mean that in a judgmental way - its just I had it drummed in to me that renting was dead money and buying was the way to go if you know what I mean xxx
We're relatively lucky in that we have a modern three bed house, with garage and small garden.... but we now want a bigger garden and a house with room for expansion! - no pleasing some people I know! I dont think that houses are cheap yet (well not round here they're not anyway as far as Ive seen) but I agree its not a sellers market! xxx

we don't have any savings for a deposit and house prices in bournemouth are rediculously high - same as bristol i think.
ideally i'd move to manchester - we could afford a house there, but down here we'd be looking at a studio flat or a small 1 bedroom for the same money it's not worth it!
might wait and see if property prices start to drop.

me and my boyf rent, if we'd saved up a deposit we would still be living with parents and probably wouldn't be engaged yet either. A decent house in our area is roughtly £120k, which may not sound much to anyone not living up here but for us it's a lottery win. We would need a £12k deposit plus all fees etc and our income is relatively low, I earn £20k working a full and a part time job and he earns £15k working nights. We've had to rent to be together.

we'd only get a 1 or 2 bedroom flat for £120k down here! :cry:
me and my boyfriend are in the same position as you money wise - i'd buy tommorrow if i was in your position!
people down south live like peasants to own property! lol ...it's quite sad really. when we rent a flat we'll be looking at least £550+ for an average sized one bedroom! it's an absolute joke.
i'm on the look out for a 'keyworker' job so i can take advantage of the government incentives.

i'd move oop north tommorrow rainbow - i'm a Beverley lass me, remember!
the only reason my boyfriend won't move is because he doesn't want to leave his mum behind - she doesn't have very good health. she'd probably move too, but she has a nice bungalow and is worried she'd be offered somewhere rough if she did a housing exchange.
