    Love the story and this:D

    Trying to keep up with reading the thread but struggling a bit at the moment,so busy with the DGC lately,yesterday was the 1st child free day we had for what seems like ages.Love em to bits but it's hard work & noisy :D DGS is away now for 2 weeks so we'll get more time to ourselves.DGD isnt here either this weekend ,she wanted to stay with her other GParents as they've just got back from holiday.
    Hugs to those in need,Csarina and OH,Hilstep

    Dumpling so glad you enjoyed your day,lots of weddings around at the moment.
    We are going to a BBQ tonight,its on the other side of Manchester so prob ababout 30 miles.We are getting a lift there but will have to share a taxi home with our friends,not looking forward to paying that :oHope the weather is better towards Cheshire than it is here,but apparently there are contingency plans for weather ;)

    DH is looking at a job so I might as well finish the ironing off and have a tidy up- make the most of being child free till Monday teatime.

    RR have a lovely holiday,
    Take care all xx

    Afternoon all,

    Not posted in awhile, mainly due to the fact that baby Lenny arrived 11 days ago :D, weighing a healthy 8lb12. We are both doing well, had to spend 2 days in hospital but settled in good at home. We are all in love with him.

    So not much OS going on as such, unless breastfeeding counts?! :rotfl:. We have been grateful for my storecupboard in the garage that I built up on maternity leave, saved us having to pop to shops for the odd item. We've managed to keep on top of the washing,cleaning etc. Today I've had to use the TD as it's pouring down. I also finished off a cross stitch sampler for the baby by adding his name and dob, the rest I did on maternity leave.

    OH is off work til after the bank holiday so we are having some nice family days, once he goes back to work I will start OSing more and will take advantage of my frozen hm meals.
