    Excellent news! Is the new house far from where you are currently?

    Did you both enjoy your day out the other day?

    Happy Christmas X

    It's about a mile from where we are now and about 100m from Mum :eek:

    We had a fab time the other day, sorry forgot to mention it on here, we went on the Polar Express train ride in Devon, it was fab :D Quite a way to go from here but was lovely, all wrapped up in our pj's ;)

    No not yet Beanie, the one I'm buying hasn't even found anywhere yet :o I will probably move in with Mum for a bit so I don't lose my buyers though :)
