    Still here! Still fat! :(

    Good to see you on here Tete, glad you got your socks! :) Nice to know you've had a good placement, not sure if it's good or bad that it's made you realise that your main school is just unusually harsh?! Enjoy this week off! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Aww sorry your little one hasn't started stirring, Birdie! Fingers crossed it will all happen very soon, I am sure you're feeling fed up.

    Tete, so nice to hear from you. I'm so glad your second placement has gone well. Huge congratulations on those outstandings :D I'm so delighted for you. It's good to know that your school is a bit of a difficult one. Imho it's better to train in a tricky place rather than be dropped into the frying pan later. You're a tough cookie :) I hope it's not all too stressful - glad to hear you're having some time off.

    Urgh, I hate ebay. Bought an item with 'ebay fast and free postage', seller is now saying I need to pay £5 postage as they made an error in the listing. End of the day they either send or I'll put in a complaint for violating ebay policy, I can't say I particularly care about the item at this point, it just irks me as this is why ebay sellers have such a bad reputation.

    Hugs Birdie x

    I share your ebay pain Dinah, we bought something a couple of weeks ago and didn't work and the guy was refusing to refund us. Thankfully ebay sides with us but still waiting on the refund.

    Hope you all had nice weekends.

    Come on Baby Birdie!! I have a feeling about the 20th, but I think it's just stuck in my head with it being my Nan's birthday :p And I really don't want to be right, not because of the flowers but because I don't want Birdie and her OH to have to wait that long :o

    Did everyone have a nice weekend/valentines? :) We were tucked up in bed at 9pm watching Night of the Living Dead so I can't complain. I panic bought OH a present because I didn't think we were "doing" Valentines because we don't like each other. So he got two peanut butter kitkats :cool:

    Really hope you get as much down time as you can this half term, Tete! Or alternatively put the spare time into making a Bernard's watch, because that would come in handy. Seriously though, you're doing a great job :) Hope the money situation is good when you finally get to look at it!

    eta: Thought I replied here on Friday but I obviously didn't! Absolutely lovely news about Gracie, fingers crossed this is a turning point for everything and things are on the up xx

    I'm still hoping on tomorrow...

    Our weekend was nice. OH worked valentines night but we went for a family breakfast which was nice. My mum and sister came to visit yesterday and we had lunch at the ski slope up my road and took Poppy to the park.
