    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Thank you all so much she had a wonderful day :D

    Sorry I've not been on to thank you earlier I've tried to cut down how much I sit on my phone when they are around.

    We have had a brilliant day and now they are all in bed and sleeping ... Finally. The girls where over sugared and where not for calming down, amazing what throwing an extra girl in there can do :rotfl:

    My bed arrived and even though it's not up yet I just know it's going to be amazing!

    Thank you all again

    Glad to read DD had a lovely birthday and sleepover with her friend. Did the relatives turn up in the end?

    Hope the bed isn't too difficult to put up. Are you planning on doing it by yourself? Mind you, DS will probably be able to help won't he, at the very least it's an extra pair of hands to hold things in place. :D

    Hope you all have a lovely day and your bedroom is all sorted and ready for you to move into properly very soon. xx

    I'm glad DD had a lovely birthday :bdaycake: and that your bed arrived :T.

    I hope you manage to paint the room so you can put the bed up, I hope it's not too tricky to assemble. It will be lovely for you to have somewhere comfortable to sleep :).
