    Evening all

    Just wanted to say bon voyage!!!!

    Gordon is happily running around my parents house and now that ive finally truly stopped, I feel much better and safer about the changes that will happen for us...

    Oh and just on a side note, not only has DH been invited to written tests for a fire service, he's always been invited for interview for another. So 2 opportunities!!!!!

    YAY xx
