    Aww, mumoffour he's lovely! Have been feeling very broody now for quite some time, and loads of my friends are pregnant. Fingers crossed we can get married soon and start trying.

    I'm quite pleased with the spare room - just took a photo round to show MIL next door and she can't wait to see it in person when her leg is better. She liked what she saw and said I did very well with the prices for everything, as I managed to get things in the sale and use vouchers etc too for some things.

    I'm off to do a mad hoover around the house before going to M&D's for dinner - loads to do before esteemed guests arrive tomorrow - got to make the veggie lasagne for our dinner tomorrow morning so that it just needs to be heated up when we need it. Luckily it doesn't take long to make.

    See you all tomorrow,

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Havent been in for a couple of nights so have not caught up but I have been flying so apologies if I have missed anything. Am in the middle of trying to gut/clean the spare room /my dressing room as we have a french student coming to stay on Tuesday only hours after we get home from a caravan trip which we go on tomorrow. Phew hardly anytime for a breath.

    Love to all

    I don't seem to of done much flying today BUT when I got back from my BSL course this morning it seemed DH had decided to do some wallpapering without me.

    Not a good idea.

    I walked in and said OHMIGOD what have you done:rotfl::rotfl:

    He had to take it all down apart from 1 bit and then I had to help tidy up!!

    Hugs for those who need them x
