So it seems you all like Tom Andrew but Imogen has had a mixed response!
I liked Max but my sister put me off, for those old enough to remember Max Wall, it's a little too close to Max Hall lol
Imogen is the only and i mean ONLY girls name we can agree on lol
Why are girls names so hard???
We are both hoping for a boy so i do wonder if we have a boy and then later try again for a girl if we will still find it so difficult!
I havent been able to post much as i have been training my replacement at work, its my last day tomorrow!
Cant wait :0)

6 weeks to go!
and i know i'm not posting much, it's not the lack of things to say i'm just tired...
All those people out there who have been pregnant or who have kids will probably know where i'm coming from.
Its so weird how doing next to nothing makes you feel like you have run a marathon! (not that i would ever be guilty of that lol)
Anyway baby and i are fine if not knackered, the family all seem fine at the mo, couple of minor hospital visits but nothing to worry about.
I'm still at work, 3 weeks and counting till i finish!
Other than that we have finally (almost) finished decorating the dining room, the worst room in the house, how many rooms that are about 12ft square have three doors and a window to take into account grrr

See i am still here!
So we went to see Jeremy Kyle last Friday afternoon and it was hilarious.
The first people we saw on the stage were a couple in their 30's and a young girl of 18 who was the wife's "best friend".
The husband had admitted to sleeping with 18 women behind his wifes back and the wife had admitted to sleeping with 3 men!
The night before the show they both confessed to one more each making it 19 and 4!
The husband wanted a paternity test for their youngest child since her confession, he wanted his wife to take a lie detector test to ensure he now knew everything and he was taking a lie detector test to prove....
are you ready for this....
that he had slept with his wife's best friend as he had confessed but the friend was denying it! and yeah i mean the 18yr old lol
Well the tests came back, the child WAS his, his wife WAS telling the truth and while taking his own lie detector test he changed his story and admitted to OVER 30 WOMEN!
This included the best friend who still denied it but hadnt taken a test.....whatever....
We were there for around 4 hours as they were behind with filming, the crew made everyone aware that they knew the show was regarded as a bit cheesy but politely asked us not to laugh if somone was breaking their heart on stage, there were other stories but nothing else as entertaining!
In other news my FIL who had an operation on his throat last year has just started to consume small amounts of liquids again after over a year of feeding himself through a peg in his stomach.
2 days ago he had his first cup of coffee!! YAY!
I'm so chuffed for him, when my SIL has her baby in September i will be able to pour him a glass of champagne :0)
We have now changed doctors and i have met her once, she seems very nice so hopefully it will be plain sailing in that area now, ill keep you posted!
As for baby im lucky enough to be continuing to have very few symptoms that people complain about during pregnancy. With only 12 weeks to go my only real complaint is the amount of heartburn i am getting.
Gaviscon is my new best friend!
Have to say though if thats all i have to complain about i better shut up before a horde of pregnant women who havent had an easy time hunt me down!
Oooh and after today only 9 weeks left at work, thats 45 work days guys and believe me i'm counting!

Another weekend...
has come and gone.
Friday we went back to the midwife who listened for the heartbeat again and confirmed that everything was fine...again.
Saturday Chris was working but managed to get home mid afternoon, we got a chinese and sat watching TV till late and then went to bed.
Sunday, not entirely sure why we chose Sunday but we started painting the living room and oh how the lovely bright paint shows up how awful the rest of it has become since it was done last, cant wait to get it done!
And so back to work today, who knows i might manage a full week this week, something i'm sure they'd appreciate as it's month end!

Shafted!
Sometimes i thoroughly despise the company i work for and some of the people i work with.I've told you my job recently moved from Manchester to Warrington.
Not all the people who worked in Manchester either chose or were able to come over to Warrington.
One of these is an elderly chap who has worked for the company for around twenty years.
Shortly before we were told we were moving over to Warrington he chose to go part time.
When he was offered redundancy he was then offered it on a part time basis.
He has appealed against this saying that had he been told this would happen he wouldnt have gone part time.
The company are saying he WAS told.
We have all been interviewed individually by a chap from HR today, we havent been told what its regarding but the few questions we have been asked were about when, where and how we were told about the move.
As far as i can tell we have all answered in a way that puts our colleague in the right.
I so hope he wins and gets his money.

What a day!
Yesterday as i drove to work my car ran out of water.
The levels HAD been checked recently but there i was stood on the motorway in the freezing cold waiting for Chris to come and rescue me (thanks babes)
I eventually manage to get from Stockport to Warrington to be told that in the afternoon i have to go over to the old office in Manchester.
So in the afternoon i leave Warrington and drive to Manchester.
I am then told i need to go back to Warrington!
I get half way back to Warrington when i am told it doesnt matter i might as well go back to Manchester!
Think i need a new job???

Little update...
So I haven’t posted anything but pictures and video for a while.
We have been busy sorting out our finances and my job has moved from Manchester to Warrington.
My sister put me on to http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/ which is definitely worth a look! Gives you loads of info on how to save money in lots of different ways.
Since first looking we have changed our gas, electric, telephone and broadband supplier, Chris has saved a whopping £30 PER MONTH on his car insurance!
We have wangled money back from places and cheaper rates and sorted pensions, life insurance and the mortgage, we’ve been very busy!
On top of that my job has moved, the new offices seem great so far and my job is currently the same so its only the journey that’s changed, going in is fine but coming home is taking a lot longer than it did but then I have only been doing it a week or so, I may not have found the best way yet!
Chris has been really ill with Flu, and no I don’t mean “man flu” he was actually really poorly, so glad I didn’t catch it!!
All our family have been fine with no-one ill for a few weeks now so we have been enjoying having some peace and time to ourselves, translated means we have been lazing about watching films and enjoying our faster broadband speed :0)
It’s our first valentines as Mr & Mrs tomorrow so going along the money saving theme we have set a budget we have to stick to so I am intrigued to find out what Chris buys!
