Well done hun. You really do have a great family there

Thank you although it probably does not come across very well most of the time I really do love them and really do know how lucky I am to have them and I honestly do appreciate them.

Being on the short side myself, and having been used to bossing three, 6' tall brothers around, me and my sister is exactly the same- I can quite well imagine it. My hubby is about 5'9" and brother in law 6'2" they are both -erm given instructions-however i suspect my OH listens with one ear and forgets the process somewhere along the line! He is sadly in his own little world-but that is another story.

The funniest thing with my sister is that she has never ever instructed anybody to do anything for her but what she actually does is choose her wording very cleverly so that it seems like she is asking them very nicely if they would please go out of their way to help her out of a difficult situation and no matter what she is asking she always has the same positive response and people seem to actually appreciate the fact that she asked them in the first place.

I have told you before that there is plenty of room here for when you want to move to Scotland. Everybody gets adopted who sets foot inside the door and she has even started to covertly enquire about the boyfriends eating preferences and has started to buy in the things that he likes so that he will feel more welcome and at home here.

Hows the pregnancy going? Any bump yet?

I was going to ask about the bf but didnt want to come across as a nosy mare

Well it is now officially a given, that myself and Spud are moving in-in order to take tips from your sister and to improve our luck:rotfl: Will then practise said techniques on OH and see if it works. I am not a fussy eater, will bring cake and knit for baby-if bribery helps.:D

Everything seems to be going really well with the baby but my sister however is constantly very unwell although she never lets it show or get her down any and she is still all smiles and very positive and happy. She is still barely showing at all and just looks like she could do with doing a few sit ups to tone up a bit. Everything is going really well with him and he seems to have almost moved in here and although everything seems to have moved much more quickly than I would have planned for it to I am still extremely happy.
