Morning everyone
We've decluttered DD to ExKH and picked up the mini sewing machine which looks like its brand new so will try that out next week when I have time, just about to sit down to brunch [full English] which DH is doing - love him to bits. DS has stayed here and has been told to get on the PS2 so that once DH goes to work I can fly and boy am I gonna fly. I'm S&Sing everywhere so that next week I can get some more stars. Hope you all have a lovely weekend, I have read the thread but can remember nothing except Rosepink - keep posting and the birth of the baby - I'd love to see it from the other end as mine were right pains at coming out and I didn't enjoy the experience at all.
Lilme - I'd love a Caravan but didn't realise they were soooo expensive - good luck with the decision making
Right Brunch is served so see you all later
