    Opto-mom.. Polkadot also has CP and has 3 beautiful healthy children.. I am certain she won't mind me saying and will offer any support she can because she is lovely.. She is a bit busy at the moment but she will be there if you need an ear no doubt. My daughter (10) also has CP so I am so pleased to 'know' 2 people who have had healthy babies because we have been told she is unlikely to ever carry a baby to term.. I can now say.. yes, she will if she wants to!

    Good evening all xx

    I'm afraid nothing else has got done here :(
    Had a nice lunch with DD, then cinema. Picked my Mum up from work on the way back, she came in for a cuppa then went home.
    I have put the TD back on.....I find the clothes are cold when left in there, so back on for 10 and I will unload and reload that and the WM. I have done dishes too from breakfast.

    Hopefully off to Cardiff tomorrow for uniform (and more lunch!!!) so not sure what flying will get done!!!

    Hope all are well and hugs and spoons to all in need xx

    An update on the water front for LouLouCake

    Still no water, I've spoken to the letting agency for the downstairs flat three times now and still have had no luck. The latest is that people haven't been passing messages on and that I have to now wait until tomorrow as the property maintenance team finish at 6pm. They have no out of hours emergency number and their tenants have to call a plumber themselves if they have a problem out of office hours.

    My flat is going to be disgusting by the time it get's sorted. Can't even flush the loo. :(
    Starting mortgage balance 22/04/2013 £71,250
    Overpayments to date £410
    Current mortgage balance £70,650
  • Floors now done YAYAYAYAY!
    Wood chopped for tonight's fire.
    Called at the auction house and put in some bids for items tomorrow.
    Tiles bought for kitchen windowsill at B&Q - whoopsied to £5 because one was missing out of the box of 12 - reckon I only need 6/7 anyway.
    Ordered pizzas and kebabs and nipped into the pub whilst they were being made.
    Family fed - no washing up!
    Chilling on the pooter chatting to you guys and having a lovely glass of Merlot
    HAPPY DAYS!!!
