I remember that CMD! Must have been knackering for you. Poppy is excited but i think must seem forever for her to have waited so not sure if she realizes she will be arriving soon.

Can't remember if i said but their dad is now renting a room in the next road so is pretty near by. I am sure he will help as much as he can around his shifts and has booked a fair bit of time off in June as long as baby is on time will be helpful.

Housing benefit almost sorted, been told how much i will be getting just got to drop in my tenancy agreement today.

Glad you had a good time Birdie.

Lara - all sounds very exciting! Hope you manage to find a house soon.

Sounds like a good compromise with him around the corner, at least he is on hand if you need him. Also glad to hear your housing benefit is getting sorted. I can't imagine the stress you must be under and yet you always sound so positive xxx

Lara - exciting and busy times ahead for you! You must be so excited at the move to the US!

Birdie - your photos of the weekend are adorable. Zach is lucky to have such fun loving parents!

Oh what hardship for you Lara, having to go to Italy for a workshop! Hope you enjoy it!

Good that your girlies' Dad is just round the corner Wendz and he's got time off to help when the baby arrives. Agree with CMD that you sound so positive about all this even though it's a rotten situation to be in. ((Hugs))

Thanks CMD! We're just trying to make sure that Zach grows up to be well and truly embarrassed by his parents!

Another threadie ready to contribute to dress of the day! I got engaged on my holiday Still all a bit surreal but so lovely, I just keep staring at my left hand! No idea of dates or budgets... must be sensible!

Hope you have some relaxing time before your new arrival appears Wendz, glad things are moving forward with their dad.

I'd worry Dinah had been eaten by zombies if I didn't see her on facebook, hope your internet is sorted soon!

Birdie85

Ahhh Congratulations Archers!!! :j

How about this dress?!?!

Congrats, Archers!! :j Looks like we have a new wave of threadie weddings on the up

Tink, the flower crowns sound lovely! I'm on facebook in the shadows so you might be able to send me it on there? Trying to plan a trip to London over Summer so I might be able to go have a looksie

Hope everyone had a good bank holiday weekend! I took Friday off work so made it a loooong 4 days. Didn't really do anything at all but I didn't want to come back today. This is OH's last week of leave off work too (starts his new job on Monday.. eek!) so we're trying to make the most of the afternoons Off to see Mad Max when I finish work today!

Birdie85

Hi all! Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend. We took Zach swimming for the first time in months and he loved it so going to try to go more often. We went to a local Hall yesterday and had a walk around the gardens which was nice, we've got an HHA membership now so going to try to get to local Halls/Castles/Gardens etc regularly to get our money's worth, even if it's just for an hour or 2, it's a change of scenery.

Enjoy Mad Max Cinny! A lady I work with saw it last week and really enjoyed it.

Birdie85

Where the hecky pecky is everyone?! :think:

Are you still floating about on Cloud 9 Archers?! Had any thoughts about your wedding?!

Hope you and you OH have had a good week Cinny. Exciting stuff about him starting his new job on Monday! Hope he enjoys it.

Hope you're feeling OK Wendz. Have you got to the stage where you just want the darn thing OUT NOW PLEASE THANK YOU VERY MUCH?!

Any luck getting US housing sorted Lara?

Hope you're doing well Dinah

Hope all the other threadies are doing well too, haven't heard from so many of you for ages!

Cinny91

Where is everyone indeed!! We'll just have to bring the thread back together, Birdie How are you?

Having a nice last-week with OH! Mad Max was beautiful, OH won't see it with me again but if he's away over Tuesday night I'm kind of tempted to just take myself to see it? Going to an all-you-can-eat place this afternoon, to eat all I can and then some.

Someone brought a really chubby baby into work this morning, and I realised people talk to babies in the voice I reserve for talking to dogs? He was adorable though, and I think we connected on a spiritual level when he started smashing everything up with this manically calm look on his face. Still waiting on the incoming niece, however! OH and I think it'll be today after a few weeks of false starts.
