Sockdrawer Im jealous, I want to go back to Aberdeen. Its a great city if a bit cold at times Not been back since moved from there, is there still a shop called NaNa's just off Union Street round the corner from topshop? it used to do the funkiest handbags ever :j

Love hugs and spoons to everyone, whilst i dont mention everyone in my posts, I do read all yours just forget who it all happened to when go to post. So I am reading and thinking of you all its just my memory is terrible for names.

Well since OH is back mid january and the house we want is still on the market im jumping for joy as mortgage in his name (due to my bad credit history) is only a couple of hundred more a month than what we are paying in rent and its all affordable on his wage leaving a good few ££££ a month plus mine (when i go back to work) for savings and overpaying the mortgage I do like it when a plan starts to come togeher, the only thing i dont like about the house though is it seems to be a small kitchen, however i can live with that although i think oh is going to take a lot of convincing as he hates small kitchens. we had a tiny kitchen in both the flats in aberdeen and have a tiny kitchen now so as long as the kitchen isnt a galley style kitchen i should be able ot convince him.

sockdrawer - I assume the cheese shop you are going to is in Rosemount - the wool shop near it has moved to below the turning to Esslemont Avenue.

And it's thawing :T:T:T
