AJ that sounds rotten. I've been where you are now and it's not pleasant.
Jue I hope it went well. Stock up on soup while her mouth is tender. DS1 had teeth out on 23rd dec last year. I nearly had to pur!e his Christmas dinner.

The housing appeal was a waste of time. We won't get the decision for 6 weeks but I am convinced it's going to go ahead. Redrow homes had queens council, a tree expert, a traffic expert and an environment expert. I can't inagine the bill for that lot. ££££££
The poor planning officers from the council were like lambs to the slaughter. Bluebells were not seen - no surprise there the site survey was done in November. I'm very disappointed.0 -
Just seen pic of new baby on Fb! A very happy family :-)0

Mumto5 we had something similar here on greenbelt land. The builders had a lot more to spend than the village did. Everything crossed for you. We won the first few stages and lost the last one.
I did the DW, and out the TD on but that is it. I must make DS2s bed yet or he wont be going to sleep tonight.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
