    Sent you a PM about school transport.

    I Only sent as a PM rather than posting as its your choice if you want to say the schools you have applied to.

    Yep, the falling home could be a problem, but now I know why the trolleys are all a quid at Asda, to stop people being wheeled up Midland Hill after they've had a few too many...
    That would take some doing - as it must be a nightmare just pushing a puschair with a newborn in up that hill :rotfl:

    :huh: Christmas gift cards from twins from their half sister not the usual amount so only managed to buy them socks! Still there is a shop closing down in St A which has a great sale on with extremely low prices so will have to look in there. Going to Mum's tomorrow so would like them to have something that fits and their father is taking them to a party the weekend after next and asked that they are suitably attired:rolleyes: . Going to chiro's soon so will have a hunt for bargains whilst I'm in town - let you know what they are later xx

    My back is a bit better - being careful going to Jamaica to get married in 5 weeks:eek: , so at least being at home sick for a few weeks gave me time to get organised. Be really careful with your back, I'm not sure about your problem but heat usually eases mine. As for curtains I have a few NEW pairs that I've never got round to using - If you PM me an address to send them to. As for twins clothes EBAY is great for joblot/bundles ( I got a brand new wedding dress RRP £700 for £35 including postage ), my sons 3 and I get him all the latest designer stuff on ebay for a few quid, In fact I've got enought to do until he's 6 ( I'm a hoarder & a compulsive shopper !!)
    Hope all is still going well I will still check in from time to time ( it's too interesting a soap opera to miss, this really should be turned into a book now you've got your happy ending )

    Oh no you've used one of my 'trigger' words, ebay, I'm going to have to look now :rotfl: , other trigger words are 'cheap alcohol', 'kipling bags', 'diamond rings', 'food', 'brilliant bargain'.:D

    Thank you all - but until I sign that paperwork work to take on the house I feel that nothing is certain:confused: - I just want to get it signed and agree a moving in date then I will at least be able to have a positive outlook, at the moment I still have doubt that this is too good to be true and won't happen:eek:

    Hi MOT

    That's OK to have doubts. In fact it's good - you are "managing" your expectations and protecting yourself. Well done!

    BUT...we all hope (every single thing crossed here - even the guinea pigs' paws!!) it DOES turn into the fairytale!!

    Please don't forget to count me in on the next move and I look forward to you posting the date!!

    Much love

    Oh b-gger! Now you've gone and done it. I had managed to keep away from Ebay for a few weeks as the 'addiction' had taken grip and I'd found I was visiting and bidding far too regularly for my bank a/c's good. I can feel the 'pull' coming already.
    BTW - nice patio at the house in HH - just right for a summer MSE Family garden party.:D
