Hot chicks - welcome to the thread!
Valli - we're off to stay with my sister in the states. It's a bit odd as the original plan was to stay there for a year but it's not worked out. Have to say, in hindsight, i'm quite glad!! I won't be bringing too much washing back as i'll do it all at my sisters. I really am getting sad.
