    No way on EARTH did I think I'd get an A, I'm just so gobsmacked. Was on the phone to mum+dad, big sis and OH (at different times) and was crying and laughing at the same time. I'm just so hyper

    !!!!!!...I wrote loads and lost it....

    gist of it was elfen - well done, Kayleigh :grouphug: bookie - ring CCCS - Lloyds and A&L might be lying...

    MWAH to everyone else.....We are back home! DD is only 1cm dilated and we are so near the hospital we were given the choice of coming home (and actively managing labour) or staying on the labour ward.....

    So we came home (via MacDonalds)....:rotfl:

    Off out for paracetamol and cold sore patches!

    Well done Elfen :T

    Hugs Kayleigh :grouphug:

    Sammy, I'm so excited for you babes. Please keep us posted somehow :D:j

    The deed is done - uniform bought. Spent £139 and just trainers to buy, so I reckon I've done really well. Quite a bit bought with Tesco clubcard vouchers (doubled on uniform/clothes) Spent ages in the local uniform shop, got dead stressed. PE kits wasnt too bad but the blazer for DS almost caused divorce :rolleyes: Other stuff bought in M&S - had a voucher for there too, and paid with DH's saved £1 and £2 coins ;)

    He's just getting a tie lesson from his dad. Will post pics on FB later when he's managed it.

    I feel like I've done nowt but stress and moan on here in the last few days. If I do it again any time soon, shoot me. Sorry guys :o
