    Fantastic news AM! :D How does it work.. how soon can you move in? :)

  • Afternoon all - just reporting in back from Rhymetime (and the shops of course :) ) Izzy fell asleep on the way there, and the way back again, so she is still in the buggy. I was hoping for a nap this afternoon, but if I lie down now she will wake up (plus there are no sheets on the bed, so I need to make it first!), so must go get some stuff done. Tomorrow will be nap day if I get my way!

    I haven't read back, but just spotted AM's good news being quoted above - that's fab for you. How small is the village? If there is a church/community centre then there will probably be playgroups and things. Is there a village shop/primary school? What are the busses like? I'm sure you will be better off there than where you are the moment anyway :)

    ^Why I don't use freecycle (plus if it's salable sell it)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    MOTM - just be yourself and remember that she must be interested if she has asked to meet you...

    asda shopping today... want to get loads as although i can walk there every other day (bout 10 mins) i dont want to be going close to christmas as it will be a nightmare. i know i can order online but i must admit i love walking round to see if there are any bargains.

    Yes, that's true. She has been talking about me. Not that I haven't asked after her, I mean, she is very nice and I have eyes :rotfl:

    You're right, you do not want to be in the shops too near to Christmas. We have a very few little bits to get food wise, which I shall get before say the 15th, to leave 10 days to remember any emergencies that 16yo can maybe get from her shop :T

    Hmmm but I feel icky :(

    Been sorting clothes.. All sad now cos Rhys has grown out of so much and barely got any wear out of some of it! If anyone needs anything 7.5-11lb, just shout before I eBay it (fairy post is less hassle!).


    Elle - I know the feeling. Jack seemed to big for Newborn and too small for 0-3 months and now it looks like he's skipped 0-3 and gone into 3-6 :(

    Had a lovely lunch which was free as my friend paid :money:and she gave me a lovely frame with 4 canvas on which had handpainted monkeys on. Her SIL made it and it is lovely!

    waiting for OH to go out then gonna go post office (EM, I promise to post today!) and then ASDA for milk. Then I'm gonna come home and do some housework and if Jack's asleep I might venture up the loft :eek:
    If I'm not on later it's cause I've been attacked by killer wasps in my loft or I fell off the ladder :rolleyes:

    P.S - I know the wasps will be dead a.) cos the nest was destroyed and b.) cos it's so cold but you never know!
    A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

    Where does the time go? :think:

    :eek::rotfl:

    Don't start! The girls have already told me i'm going to have to sing to her and have started suggesting songs. Sexy Chick by David Guetta/Akon and Taylor Swift's love story are the favourites. 15yo suggested She Wolf by Shakira, but 15yo is a funny one :rolleyes:
    Sorry to just butt in like this but OMG the council just rang and have offered me a 2 bed flat! :j
    It's temporary in a little village but OMG!
    I'm scared but it's only half hour away and it's about 20 mins from my gay uncle who I adore!

    :T Hope it's what you want and more :T
