See I thought you were gonna finish that sentence a little differently... thought you were going to say half way thru' the program the woman suddenly finds out that although they are stretching themselves to the limit financially and emotionally... she still seems to think it's the best time in the world to have a BABY... while living in a run down caravan on site.

Well... it's what seems to happen in more than 50% of builds on that programme I've found


Smiled to myself as i watched a re-run of Grand designs tonight. Half way through the prog, they couple announced they had to hurry the build on as they were expecting baby number 2!!!!!

Aye... once you hear someone mention it, you watch them and find that about half of them seem to do it (I guess 'cos the builds tend to be a year or two to get finished at least).

I reckon the getting pregnant is the only way they can get their partner to focus on ever finishing the house by a specific point
