Congrats to you too mate! :D
She's about 15 weeks now, due date is 25th December so I hope she's early/late!
Been a bit traumatic this time round, my wife started having contractions at 12 weeks, got her to A&E fearing the worst and they basically told us she was having a miscarriage; 2 hours down the line and she had an ultrasound and all was well with the baby :D
A few of the other guys on here will know that my wife has been through the wars with endometriosis, the quack blamed it on that.

life is never easy mate. The past I was on about was that my ex wife and I had a stillborn son. He'd be just 2 now. We lost nathan at 5 days over due, movements stopped and that was that! Words still fail me even now. She then went on to have a misscariage at 16 weeks! All was not lost tho as we had a girl together. My new partner has 2 kids already.

New front pads.
Exhaust.
Timing belt due next year.

May get some of the minor parking dents taken out - but I'd rather save my money towards a Citroen DS for the weekend! :D

Dent removal
Devinyl the 2 rear pillars - already done the fronts
Bonnet replacement - got a little bit of rust starting on the seams inside
Decent set of alloy wheels or refurb done on the coupe wheels I just bought
Leather or half leather interior
Fit leather steering wheel - bought coupe 1 last week
Rapier clocks - but only if the extra dial would work in my LX
& maybe fit a small sub box in the back - something that could fit in the gap between the rear bench & the pop-up seats in the boot.
