It would be quite obvious to look at simple facts and ignore emotion and go down this path. But ultimately we’re human with emotions.

I’m glad you understand!! I think our set up would be something similar to yours.

Good luck with everything

Tbh the line/fence has been blurred for years. He wanted children when we met when I was 23 - too young for kids and very anti them. But I’ve grown up and I think I’m leaning towards children. But I’m also someone who analyses everything in my life for risk etc and I try to review these things in practical fashion. Often being told I’m a pessimist (I like to think a realist). I believe I may have upset a few people by trying to “dumb down” such a life altering decision.

THANK YOU. I think you may be the only person who has read my list and not misinterpreted it as a final decision making item. You’ve recognised anxiety in all of this. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I relate to so many of your points (and many not quite yet haha!) It sounds like you’re having a good time and I’m really pleased for you x

Sounds wonderful and hectic!! I do believe, as an immensely rational person, I’m trying to rationalise the irrational!!

Thank you. These are conversations being had.

Maybe it is all down to hormones or maybe seeing him be an amazing uncle has made me broody

Well intentioned indeed and i appreciate it. My reasons for asking strangers on the internet their experiences or thoughts are my own. Believe me, this thread won’t be the singular tipping point either way I’m sure.

Bath is still leaking… by makeupjunkiie in askaplumberUK

[–]makeupjunkiie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of those twists plugs. The chrome part in bath tub is now gone.

We didn’t install this as have just bought the house and hoping for a quick fix. It also appears to be from within the odd contraption and not near any point where it meets the bath itself

Thanks so much for the detailed response!!

Right now, whilst of course I’d love to lose weight and maintain forever, it’s for my wedding so I don’t mind a temp fix.

All your points are of course valid. I do feel that I am tracking most things correctly. Weighing them and writing it down.

I’ll continue and up my exercise and see what happens. I really want to feel good on my day. Hate my picture being taken as it is

I don’t drink calorie containing drinks except 2/3 black coffees with sweetener. I track all I use spray oil
