There was a lot of sugar in there, in not sure how much he ...

So we are in the process of moving home and on Thursday evening around 4pm we got a provisional date to exchange so we were absolutely thrilled. The estate agent then called us the same day at 5pm to say the seller has decided they are going to keep the property they were selling us and rent it out. I’m so stressed...

Is anyone else struggling with diet guilt? I've been told the second trimester is for eating better, so I'm eating as much fruit as possible and veg in my dinners but I'm rubbish at giving in to my sweet cravings... my baby girl loves cake and sweets! My willpower sucks 😕
