  • Hello everyone,

    I'm in again, better late than never I suppose!

    Nearly over my cold and have been away for a few days so need to catch up with the list and do my best to get on top of things again.

    At least the rest of the week is fairly quiet so might be able to get some jobs done in the evening after work.

    Hugs and best wishes to everyone x

  • Hello ladies!! I've been MIA for quite a while, so sorry about that. For good reason though! We had our baby boy on 12th October and he is amazing. :D We are head over heels and he is settling in lovely. His big sister isn't so sure, but she will adjust. LOL!

    No flying of any organised type for me for a while, but i will look at the lists and see if i manage to do some level ones... maybe... Ha ha! The house is a complete poo-hole, but i don't care. I am spending my days cuddling my babies!

    Here he is when he was shiny and new:

    and now:

    and with his big sister:

    Shysarah- sorry I couldn't resist having a nosey at your snuggle blanket:o It's fab , you should be very proud.

    Europa he's yummy......congratulations.
    I became a proud Aunty to twin girls yesterday. :T babies are fine and breathing unaided. A sign of the times....... It was announced on Facebook first...........

    Crikey I hope Seafarers Wife is OK. Just looking on BBC news and Cornwall is suffering from the bad weather again- Isn't that where she was going for her best friend's wedding. If your reading SW please check in and let us know your safe. If anyone else lives in that area please stay safe.
