    Thanks all of you I know I can turn to you, but at the moment it is all one big whirl, however everything is falling into place nicely at the moment. I think I will feel it most when I suddenly realise that I don't have anyone to take shopping at the weekends. We have a wedding this week and again I will not have to worry about her whilst I am away. Billie xx

    Hi Daisy

    Sorry we had to move at short notice. Lack of space. We're starting to get this place how we like it.

    Hello strangers! What have you all been up to? I'm off to read back and catch up.

    Billie, massive hugs honey. Of course it's not in the slightest bit selfish - it's important you have some you time. You know where we are when you need us :A

    Erm... Isn't Glasgow in Scotland? lol

    I was choosing Wales so both Mike and I were not in our respective countries (despite the fact we're all one big united kingdom. Lower case intentional for effect ;)). And would mean neither of us had to cross water (though not so sure about that given the rain here today! Just for a change!) :D
