I was just thinking the same thing, like my mother wanted me to be called Victoria, my Dad said no way is my daughter having the initials VD! At least he thought of things like that! Best of luck with the new job Dizzy much safer name.

Oh I need to call the school where we are moving to today, just reminded me when I reread AnW'sMum's post, see if they have space for DS2....actually wonder if we can plan completing the move near half term which is coming up isn't it. Edited, just been on the website for LEA and they go back the day our tenancy ends here, means the boys will be off when a lot of the moving gets done (I spy chaos) but might be easier for DS2 to fit in at a new school when they've been off anyway.

I wanted to get the keys on Saturday, I understand why he's said no but now I am a tad miffed as I am impatient!

Mmmmm i know what you mean, I am jealous though as when I bought my first house my mum picked up the keys and when we bought this house DH picked up the keys. Both times I was at work and could not get away so never had the thrill of being there when they said 'it's all yours' Both times they were brand new houses so it was the first time anyone had opened the doors on a new home

:coffee:up, biccie?

I've been thinking about LJD1 all morning, hoping everything has gone ok.

AnW'sMum biccie would be fab, just fancy a 'one dip' actually but I don't have any

School have places, said he can start whenever we want, going to look round on Thursday! All go isn't it :rotfl: Downside is sounds like it's definately a good walk from where we live and a little concerned about getting back for DS1, I hate to use the car for school and would prefer to walk, will have to see if there is any short cuts, DP is in most days just those that he isn't I may struggle for time.

AnW'sMum
