sugajen - he is GORGEOUS!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Offer accepted on the house, the rate at which this is going is mental! Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me that it doesnt fall through!!! If it all goes to plan we will get the keys before xmas (but no way be able to move in!!) so xmas is currently the last thing on my mind!!!

Beki

well done jamtart!!! really pleased for you! send some selling-vibes this way please, as no one seems interested in our house!!!

I have been wrapping presents all day and im still not done. My bedroom looks like an explosion went off at santas factory!! Congratulations on acceptance of your offer JamTart.. sounds like a busy new year!!

The shops are absolutley mental Sarah.. I went to Asda at the weekend and it's like someone switched a light on and said "DUH it's nearly christmas everyone". I used to look like a freak looking up the christmas aisle alone and now it is packed?!
