Its DHs nickname for me, after Garfields teddy bear. According to him I'm very huggable.

I'm watching three kittens trying to fit into a shoe box......it's far more entertaining than the telly.

DH just off the phone to new LL. The house has to be 2 years old before we can enter Rent to Buy scheme, which is even better from our point of view. We'll be saving like mad to stand a better chance. It's 90% mortgage too so from our perspective and past history we're best of sticking with this scheme because it will stand us in better stead when the time comes.

Also, Just had our official move in date - Saturday 15th December. That's £75 extra we'll owe the current LL but it's coming out of emergency fund.

I've nothing to worry about but still feel on edge like it's all going to go wrong. Positive thinking, allow the excitement to wash over me

CRANKY40

Byatt I'm pleased to hear that Bess is OK.

My name is my age when I joined, combined with the toy that my small son was playing with when I joined, which also described my temperament due to having a child that never slept (well that's what it felt like sometimes).

My new curtains are up and the cats have been playing in the folds of them all evening. I've told them that if there are any claw holes before the curtains have been up 24 hours then rehoming will take place. Oh well, at least if they're fiddling with the curtains then they're not watching the hamster.
