            Mumof2 how are you doing?
 I'm OK thanks - he left at 8.10 this morning; the flight is at just past 3 this afternoon. We'll stay in touch via Skype but as there's a 7 hour time difference will have to work out the times before calling! The kids were good; we'd prepared them for this quite a while back and they both spent some quality time with them on their own yesterday so had some nice 'Daddy time'.
 Lady L, I hope the move goes really smoothly for you and you can rest up. Sending you huge ginormous spoons xx
 Sam, well done on calling Childline; that's what I'd have done too. Horrible situation to be in.

 Well the saga continues!!
 Out of 17 people called we had 5 replies.
 1 said to ring someone who had been out and never bothered sending a quote
 1 said they no longer do 'that sort of work'
 3 came out and gave quotes.. 2 were the same, 1 was extortionate.
 1 of them was supposed to be coming Thursday 19th.. and rang this morning saying he can't come until.. 2nd June!!!!!!!!!!!
 I am SO f***ed off with this.. is it too much to actually want to have the girls sleeping in a room that isn't going tomake them ill!!!!!!!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
