    Female equivalent of a man cave

    Don't want to marry but have kid on the way

My partner and I split up before the birth, so my son has never come from a "broken home" - his parents have always lived apart.

    Intro and Advice/General Knowledge

    Thanks - I saw that one. Looks like absolute overkill from the banks' side. Don't particularly fancy London and my Dad would prefer to be closer to "home" (Blackburn) so if there's a bit of work that side it will go down well. My husband is in emergency services so he will need to live...
