    Just popped on to send tonnes of love to you Serena. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and sending you strength and love. Look after yourself and remember you're not alone we're all thinking of you (we'll leave you alone if you pop to the loo though...wouldn't want you thinking we were looking over your shoulder or anything - oh gawd....now you'll go to the loo and giggle!!) Seriously though - the biggest hugs ever xxxxxxx

  • Evening! First day back went well - but then we didn't have any children in ;) Still shattered and not back into a 'normal' routine yet though :rolleyes:

    Not much flying done as I've been out to see a friend's band play at the Wedgewood Rooms - they were great but I left as soon as they'd finished.

    I have had dinner and washed up :D

    PrincessJane - great news! Oooh, a tattoo :D I'm going to get another one done as soon as I can decide where to have it!

    MOAM - welcome back

    Triker - hugs; glad you got a good consultant

    greenbee - where are you walking and who is it in aid of? A colleague is doing a midnight walk on Saturday - wonder if it's the same one :confused:

    juliejim - a few weeks ago, the weekly emails were going into my spam folder for some reason; have you checked there? Definitely had one last week but not this week yet :confused:

    holly - good news; fingers crossed

    ajmoney - hugs and prayers for you and your family; yours too hex

    serena - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for tomorrow; hugs xx

    kazm oh wow those photographs look wonderful, you looked absolutely stunning, littlemeister scrubs up well doesn't she bless her
    Triker pleased it went well
    Princess Jane great news
    serena ((hugs)) will be thinking of you and your family honey, we'll all be with you in thought x

    Well we're in, not everything in but we are lol. LL has returned my cheque plus the money on top for deposit we were owed even if tenancy hasn't ended yet so happy with that. Spent today packing more stuff and cleaning 9-5 and I am shattered! We have boxes everywhere, boxes inside and on top of boxes, it's chaos! DPs offered to take the caravan up tomorrow to the seasonal let we've paid for if I want to escape with the boys up there. It might actually be a good idea as I am getting so little done when they are with me, DP had them today while I cracked on with the old house but this evening well I have just given up! I do have a big pile of bags to take to the caravan so need to go up there anyway, must remember to get Matthew his chairs too. Kids haven't settled in too bad considering the chaos, dog is another matter..... I have put a sticker on the door incase LL decides to let herself in, there is still a lot of stuff we didn't get over in that house and I would hate to think she was going in without us there. I've cooked next to nothing but will get back on track soon I hope.

    Sky have completely screwed us about, we had installation booked for Monday which they cancelled because of the building type, so DP said he would put dish up and cables in which is now done. So I rebooked, supposed to be today......nope the booking system didn't work so it is now rebooked for Tuesday next week. ARGH what a pest. Oh I am online because they activated the BB by accident, it might go off at any time then I have to get it reactivated for the proper order. Oh and a trip out to sort said installations cable cost me erm a lot of dosh, but we now have a wonderful LED tv, I have never been a gadget/electrical person (apart from appliances) but wow wow wow, what an amazing piece of kit it is. DP now happy, his dream TV unit and dream TV.....happy ickle bunny, only issue now is getting him to move from in front of it but he has shelved out the kitchen cupboard today and put shelves up in the shed when he had the boys.

    Car garage are refunding the money to us we have paid for the car since they should have cleared the finance, morons have finally sorted it and cheque should be here next week, so will be in the bank just in time for Spain woooohooooo we will have a little spending money haha.

    ((hugs)) to anyone who needs/wants one, think I will unpack another box before bed.

    Oh forgot to mention, we have both passed the OCAS bits of our course, goodness knows how but we have, so we're concentrating on the end of course assignments we need 40% on, I am just stunned DP and I have managed to do it.

    Double PS - Dishwasher gets fitted tomorrow woooohoooooo, Mam's new boyfriend is a plumber so mates rates too :D
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
