Ace news kimsmum!
Dorastar I have the opposite problem, my wee feet are only a 2! I wear a 3 if theres a strap so I can cling on to it but getting wee shoes is a right palaver. Every time I go to Primarni etc for a cheap pair for work or whatever I cant find 3's but there are loads of 9's!!!!!!! It gets me in such a tizz.
LOL. My mum was size 2 and had the same problem as you.But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?0 -

Back from a wonderful few sunny days in Wales. As planned the only money we spent whilst away was one meal out in a restaurant and £6 in parking charges.Ooo, where did you go to. Hope it wasnt near to me and I missed you.
Lots of walking, geocaching and cricket on the beach. Finished my knitting project (simple snood), finished my book (Animal Farm in prep for if DS2 does it as a set set text this year). Need to try to keep a bit of that relaxed holiday feeling going.
Plan to finish up August's challenges in the next few days. I have quite a few of my own plans for this month so will just partake in the odd challenge which I feel suits if that is ok.
Hugs to all having a difficult time especially Cricket

Am vibing for you Crickett
Sorry to read the news about your family, hopefully it will be the best sort of prognosis on both fronts. It's so exciting to have a viewer for the house, I hope they really like it
Hmm, mistakes I wouldn't repeat... basically I would have found MSE in my student days and never taken out a student loan. I still haven't started paying it off and it's multiplying at an alarming rate. I know Martin says not to pay it off early, but I would love to be 'properly' debt free.
I prefer to look at it as having as much of the free education I should have had as possible.0 -
Morning ladies - happy rainy Saturday here.
Today's challenge is on the Matrix for the ladies who play along:D
My Mum and Dad have decided they are taking BOTH boys for a sleepover tonight (DS2 has had no accidents all week and we promised him when he was in pants he could go)
So tonight will be mostly wine and chocolate and knitting.
Today - well I am going to make as much of the time as possible doing a couple of tutorials I have planned - much easier without a little helper
I'm thinking a little gift for the lovely mum who gives DS1 a lift to school - and maybe a give-away for the Matrix ladies too (as a thank you for all the practical support and feedback this past couple of days)

Morning all
Today is another important day on my journey. I'm going to the Garden of Remberance to remember my sister rather than do it on my birthday which is the anniversary of the day she died.
I would appreciate your thoughts today. I want to celebrate the person she was rather than be sad that she's gone.
You know what I remember most about her? That despite the fact she was ill her entire life she was the happiest child you've met.
Thank you xx0 -

Just done 20 mins on Just Dance. Boy exercise is hard work, no wonder I don't want to do it
Having a change around DS's bedroom, moving out some unused furniture etc. other than I guess it will be entertaining the kids. Have a list of frogs to start on next week when DS starts back at school <gulp>
