At the end of the day, it's going to take as long as it takes... I don't want it rushed... but PLEASE tell us beforehand that it might take quite a bit longer than expected, not after we start!

Nicely put Lucy! where are you from in Essex? I'm also an essex girl
Its like pregnancy...you're excited at first, then its ok, then its "GET THIS BABY OUT NOW!!!"
I'm at the stage of wanting them off, but I'm willing to wait until everything is as it should be. Heaven forbid he takes them off too soon and I'm not happy. I figure as long as they are on, progress continues.
Hats off to you, Evelyn...I don't think I could be as patient as you have been. You've had them on a long, long time.
