Default Think i'm growing up.....
If not, I definitely need to now!

As some of you guys & girls at Brands Hatch found out yesterday, I thought I'd let the rest of you know that Claire and I are expecting our first little'un at the end of Jan next year.

We're both chuffed (and a little bit panicked ) but i'm sure we'll learn quickly. House move should be sorted in the next few months as our current place is too small (and yes, I've made sure there's a garage for the scoob with the new place!).

And well done to Tim, for managing to guess before we were even certain ourselves!

Congratulations.

Good excuse for a nice new Recaro for the back of the Scooby.

Oh, and you don't need to grow up. My sensible family car is the FSTi and my wife's is the blob wagon.

Congrats guys! me and becks had an idea it was on the cards for you both a while back what with house hunting and that.

Your going to love it even though the first year is quite tiring and so far I've had 4 weeks of broken sleep with my newest one. They soon settle though and get a routine.


Hmmmm Pink or Blue???

Thanks all!

Had another appointment with the midwife yesterday... it's very strange hearing a heartbeat in your belly!

And I'll tell ya what, I'm glad I enjoyed that big fat juicy RARE steak when we were over in Germany, cos as it happens, it was my last for some time!

I think we may have also bagged the record for youngest ever passenger lap of the Nurburgring at 3-4 weeks pregnant!

Congratulations Claire & Steve.

As someone else said STI Pink or WR Blue, just hope there isn't one of each

Can Jacky supply cots at the hotel for next May?

Thanks Scott

Not sure yet regarding the Ring. Baby is due in late January so if I can afford it I'd like to still come and would be needing a passenger (Claire will get left holding the baby lol!)

Aren't I the perfect husband

Hey Buzz, long time now see. Hope you're well

House purchase is dragging, the people in the one we're buying haven't found anywhere to go yet

They need to get their backsides in gear and get the feck out of there
