Double Trouble - Nothing by halves

Thanks for the posts yes I have decided to reveal the real me I give so much information on here that I am easily identifiable anyway. The photo on the blog is a bit scary :eek: but I don't have many photos as I prefer to be on the other side of the camera.
Having a baby is lovely and no morning sickness to contend with so a win win situation :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
My packing for Cardiff is a bit more than my normal laptop, washbag and spare pair of undies I will have to take a wheelie suitcase so I can manage baby and all his requirements note to self I really need to book that room
My other foster child is over the moon with his new wellies for nursery
So the house is crazy but lovely all at the same time :T
Trading research is going well I have finished another book so I am ready to write my plan so that's what I am off to do next.

Thats so lovely, DT - I think you've found the way forward for you, you know - you sound so much happier than when you were looking at doing law again.2023: the year I get to buy a car0

I am happier KC this is something I am in control of (well as long as you ignore fluctuating markets :eek:) rather than being dependent on proving my worth to others.
And I have finished the plan :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

so true, when you were looking to go back into law, you didn't want to do it, this sounds so much more *you*Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

How was Cardiff?!!One step at a time0

Cardiff was good but only a very brief trip as I took the new baby with me and he needed to be back for contact. He was so good on the journey a real angel.
My dongle didn't work in Cardiff I think it's because I haven't topped it up recently enough so it has been deactivatedso will need to sort that before my next trip.
Went to see the King and I last night it was our Christmas present to my Mom it was very good.
I have been busy researching trading and I think I may have found my first share to trade so that is very exciting even though it will only be a paper trade for now.
Everything else is good it is lovely having a baby in the house again and I appear to have sorted out his night time sleeping just need to sort mine out now as I woke at 4.45am on Monday expecting him to wake and he in fact awoke at 8.30
