I read this last night and was very impressed by your achievments. Well done and a big well done to your DH.
Fabulous photo!
Good luck for the future.0 -
Bunny...how exciting...well done!!! :T
I never buy mags, but will make an exception for this one.....am off to the shops in a mo so will look for it. Will use Lloyds debit card and get a few more pence for Save the Change so buying will still be good!
Good luck with everything! x0 -
Thanks to everyone for their kind words...
TBH, I don't feel I've achieved HALF of what anyone on this site has done, but facing up to the problem and sorting out myself is what is important...
And it's good to hear the kind words-sometimes when I'm REALLY shattered, I'll re-read this thread and feel better.
DH is being a Saint again-he's just finished his 4 work days (does 42 hours in four days-2 of the 6pm to 9 a and he's been running around Telford stopping it from burning down!) and I have one of the little one's I childmind all weekend 8.30am til 7.30 pm. He just takes it in his stride and doesn't complain...I probably would-I'm a right cow when I'm shattered.
Thanks again all.

sorry for hijacking this thread.....my auntie used to have a cottage just outside Littleham, we went to visit her for two weeks every summer for our holidays. It took 10 hours on the coach to get there. We always knew what the weather was going to be by looking out the bedroom window, if we could see Hartland Point it was going to be fine. Appledore, Westward Ho, Bude (day trip), Clovelly, Hockings ice cream............floats away on a cloud of blissful childhood memories of days when summer was always sunny and long....:wave:skipkoo wrote:Well, we live in Barnstaple now, but my heart is in a little village called Instow, do you know it? Just over the river from Appledore. I am going over to Instow later this morning to pick up my mym and then take her our for lunch. Thinking of a pub lunch in a village called Littleham, just outside Bideford. We did think about taking her to "Potwallopers" in Westward Ho! but I dont think they do lunches on saturdays. I am hoping to drag OH away from his studying tomorrow and maybe go for a drive around Woolacombe, Croyde etc as the forecasters were saying that the surf is going to be around 8 ft this weekend so that is always exciting to see. Would love to get together if you get down this way sometime, give me a yell!!

As for North Devon - love it! My BF surfs so we try to get down quite often, normally Saunton. But 8ft sounds v scary!
