    Congratulations NIM on the new job, brilliant news for you all :beer:

    I looked up the newspaper article online too and thought it was a lovely picture.

    Excited news on the honeymoon Wendz! Although you have made me feel that I should get myself organised :o It looks amazing.

    My friend held a 'Come Craft with Me' afternoon on Sunday, which was amazing! We all sat around knitting and cross-stitching like old ladies! She finished off a knitted a hat for her little girl while I was there and did it so quickly! It was like witchcraft!

    Wow.

    A friend of mine is getting married next April actually and she has done all hers (a few months ago) - before even sending out the invites! I asked her what would happen if people couldn't come, she gave me a bridezilla look and said "EVERYONE is coming." Erm... ok!

    I was hoping to get my invites done in time to send them out with Christmas cards :o but that's as far as it goes at the moment.

    Well done on all the debt-busting you two! :j Must be a weight off your shoulders to just be able to see the finish line.

    Aye, but going client side. It does mean no more Billog, but its not much of a step up, Spennymoor :rotfl::rotfl:

    Spennymoor!!! :beer: Congrats on the new job NIM, when do you start? :)

    Gorgeous place for your honeymoon Wendz, jealous! You'll have a great time, how long are you going for?

    Can't believe Noah is a year old, Flower. Must go so quickly, my thought my friend was going to have a full on breakdown last weekend as her not-so-little guy turned 2.

    Hope everyone is okay! I think I need to start getting on here more than once a week, I'm missing out on a fair bit!

    Things are okay thanks! Chugging along as ever :) Got major babyfever at the moment though, it's stupid and it's annoying.

    Was going to ask the same about Poppy. Will she get to get one of those stupidly cute baby passports?!

    ETA: Whoops, crossed posts! Nice that your Parents are going :) In Rhodes there were lots of families with the Grandparents there, one couple told me they had a 7 o'clock switch over at night so they "could all get a holiday" :rotfl:

    Sounds ideal Wendz :)

    Cinny - have you joined babyandbump? There is a Trying to Conceive (TTC) section. It is really good. I also used the WTT (Waiting To Try) section before I was ready to try for Max!
