    Hi BB, i've been off the boards for abit but now refreshed and catching up with all the reading. Subscribed to the new thread (wondered why you had'nt been updating your other blog). Just had a few days away with the fambo now planning for next year, when are you due to go on your hols and where. Glad things are looking good on the relationship side and belated happy birthday wishes.x

    We've been and delivered a couple more thankyou cards and also the present that I needed to take. I also emptied the stuff out of the car. Ds is now playing with his friend while I try to choose the next job to tackle (motivation is starting to disappear :o:o) ...

We collect his ds on saturday morning, have a hectic weekend together then theres just monday left to pack!! :eek:

    Evening all, finally after a hectic few days I've got on here to post ... we're off on holiday at silly o'clock in the morning, I'm still finishing my packing and trying to get the flat clean and tidy ready to go away :o

    Mr S has been here since thursday, we've had a lovely few days together and the kids have got on really well over the weekend too :D I'm gonna miss him loads this week although I'm sure we'll have a fabulous time on holiday, at least I won't be sad to get home :)

    Sorry its a flying post, will try to get better at it when I get home, right, who wants to join me in a chorus of Y Viva Espana?? :D :j :D :j
