    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Congratulations.


    Welcome to the world Juliette
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    She had her first bath this morning, I am already mentally indexing all the lovely 'firsts' that will make up the first few years of her life :happyhear
