    Better to regret something you go for than didn't go for. It does sound a bit fateful.

    Fingers crossed then eh?
    I'm pooped. Stayed at work till 6pm moderating coursework...that was after leading an early closure session for 2 hours AND teaching all day! Phew! Not that it's going to get any better tomorrow. Tomorrow is my duty day, then I teach all day, do psychology after school till 4.15pm and have my first parents evening appointment at 4.20pm!!! That runs through till 7pm!

    I will sleep well tomorrow at least! :D

    DH is going to view his friends house tonight so I should know later when he'll be moving if he decides to go for it! AND I'm getting more and more excited about meeting my pup on Saturday! I might actually burst with excitement!!

    Right I'm pooped. Last parents evening of the year done and dusted now. :j I'm so so tired.

    DH will not be taking that room at his friends...apparently it is TINY! Therefore we are looking for somewhere else. DH says he's seen somewhere he's interested in...we shall see.

    We went to meet our new baby yesterday! OMG...I'm beyond in love. Sooooo beautiful. I cannot wait to get her home and cuddle her everyday. I'm soft I know. But I can't wait to teach her how to sit etc and some tricks. She's just beautiful!

    So now I have to have a look at what I want to buy for her exactly. I've book marked quite a bit of stuff so fingers crossed I'll get most of it sorted for when she arrives. It's not loads of stuff that I need but just the basics really. Figure if I can get most of it from online I might save myself a few bob!

    How do you even add pictures? I've never tried.

    Did I mention only 26 days till I get her! :D I told my HOD about my applying for other jobs and he said there will be 2 jobs within my dept from next week with an extra TLR point. One is maternity which we all knew about...one is something else (not really sure about it yet). Soooo looks as though I might have a couple of options at least if I dont get one of these jobs.

    I'm really struggling to put the effort in at work. I CANNOT wait for year 11 to leave. Did I mention I can't wait?? Ha ha

    EDIT: I also did a mystery shop on the way home from work...so thats tea taken care of. Got another on Thursday and them I'm shop-less. :(

    Well not a lot happening at the twinklie household. 24 days till I get my baby though! SO excited.

    DH is going to view a new house tomorrow. It's in the village my sister used to live in so I know it well, it just depends if the house is ok now. That would mean me and the little one can come down over the summer holidays!! :D

    Closing date for one of the jobs is 12pm tomorrow...exciting times. This is the one I'm least confident about getting an interview for...but we shall see. Although I do have a mystery shop tomorrow which is good.

    AND...DH says I am allowed to buy the first things for the pup at the weekend...so that they can be delivered before half term. I'm so excited! It makes it all the more real.

    Congratulations on the pup. It will be here so soon. I just wanted to chip in a recommendation. I use vetuk.co.uk for the cats for their prescription food and flea treatments and have found them to be really good. I'm not sure if they are the cheapest still, but i like them. Worth looking on line rather than buy stuff from the vets for definite. We have saved a fortune this way. They also sell stuff like water fountains, treats, food dispensers on timers and all kinds.

    You sound a lot more positive. Obviously just what you needed. :D
