    Hello
    Spent ages trying to catch up with all your news. Congrats to pigpen and moff, I always wanted 4 but stopped at 2 I still get broody though. OH wanted to stop at 1!

    Flying hasn't been too bad this week, managed level 1 most days.

    Have picked up a stinker of a cold and been muzzy headed all day. Went for walk with friend this morning but it left me feeling very weak. Hope weather is as nice tomorrow.

    Hugs and positive vibes to all.

    Glad you have gumtree Pigpen, saves all that fluffin about on ebay. Hubby sold his phone last week or the week before on gumtree, we had a few kn*bs looking to swap for other phones (rollie eyes) but all in all it was gone in a week.

    DW back on, Rhys now getting annoyed so bath, bottle and bed for him.
    Hubby away to his mum's for a shower while i sort these four out. :mad: Shower is then out of use from 7.30 on as PIL are away. Great.

    ETA MIL just rang to say send the kids down for a shower as hubby can do it. He'll love that LOL.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Thanks for letting me know, we can opt for a week 4 if you'd like or is that too far in the distance for everyone?

    I need to work out stuff soonish as I'm getting booked up re work too and I want to take a few days off anyway.
