    Hi there, thought I'd pop my head in. I hope you had a lovely day back at work tomorrow, and that it won't be too stressful. Good luck!

    Finally sat down with an Easter egg :) thank you so much all my lovely lovely ladies. Your messages really bolstered me today. I didn't get a chance to message but it's been so nice to have all this virtual love :) today went great. She didn't drink milk but she did drink water from her Doidy cup. Praise the Lord hallelujah! I've been practicing with her for weeks I'm so impressed. She didn't even notice when I came in! Too busy having fun with my little sister ;) dd1 missed me a lot more than I thought she would little mite. Such a sweetie I got the best cuddles when I came in. She can be so affectionate and adorable. I really love my babies so much. They are the most sensational little people on the planet. We've got a few days together then daddy coming home for 3 days!!! As if me going back to work isn't enough crazy enough for them. I'm so excited to see him.
    Work was fun and games. Head office decided to permanently delete me off the system and took a while to convince them I wasn't a security issue. Manic day and I couldn't do a thing to help anyone. Just get lost in h&s training.
    Hope everyone else has had a good day and didn't get caught in the rain you lovely lovely people xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    The weather is a different story! I'm south coast where the 105mph wind reading took place. Scary braving the outdoors. He might struggle keeping me in though it's going to be so amazing to get out the front door without military precision planning. Really cannot wait to say goodbye to all the stairs and crazy heavy fire doors.
    Girls have got colds now. Never ending illnesses!! And my endo is playing up a treat. Never mind he's coming home!!!!!!!! I don't care. Because I'm going to see him!
    Working out how much I've paid off since he's been gone and it's like £2k so I'm really pleased to tell him that. As well as buying the Hoover and wardrobe. I'm hoping he's going to be seriously impressed with the flat. Feels so much better since the wardrobe and all the clearing out. I can actually get it back to tidy most days! Either that or he'll tell me off for selling everything lol but I'll expect that anyway. Plus I've returned to work and kept the kids happy and fed so that must count for something. And I haven't bought any large toys.
    Would have liked to have paid off two credit cards by the time he got back but I would have if I hadn't bought things. But it means more for next time. Hoping to close 3 more by the time he gets back next time and that way it'll look like I upped my game lol. Yes 1 in the first 3 months and 3 in the second three months does make me look good. Let's hope I can stick to it!! Then I can be superstar wife ;) who solved the debt crisis in our home so we could buy a new one. I've already done miles better than he had been doing. And it's not like the bills have gone down. To give him his due he has stuck to his allowance each month.... Even if he does ask for 50% more each month at the beginning :-/
    Hope your all doing well lovely people xxxx
