    Hi Snaggles
    Just wanted to say Hi and what a great thread.:T
    Happy birthday to Natasha.
    Matthew was 1 on Monday so we are at the same stage as you.
    I couldnt go back to work as there are no nurseries here that are open at the same time as I would have been starting (6.30 am) so I am staying here and looking for something part time...plus someone has to look after the Rolo cookies when the other kids are in school;)
    Hope all is well and keep up the good work

    I was just thinking of how much luck this site has brought us over the last two years:

    I posted that I wanted a baby, and suddenly got pregnant after endless :rolleyes: attempts.

    I posted that I wanted to be debt free, and we pretty much are (*cough* credit card *cough*).

    I posted that I would love a folding camper, and the perfect one came up for sale at the perfect moment, when we could afford to buy it.

    I posted that I wanted to breastfeed for a year, and found the support here to carry on when the going got tough.

    I posted that I sometimes felt lonely and isolated, and I made the best friends anyone could possibly hope for.

    I've posted about work issues, relationship disasters, weightloss, and hundreds of other things, and slowly they are all being resolved.

    Now I know that many of those things are not completely down to this site, but there are so many things I wouldn't have done if it hadn't been for you lovely people.

    So thank you all, I love you to bits, and my goal for this year is:

    I would like to win the lottery and retire to a life of luxury on the coast of Brittany... ;)


    you posted about wanting jaffa cakes and..............;) ;);)

    Happy Birthday Natasha and well done Ryan. Well done Mrs S on getting all that you wanted. A lesson to us all that we should focus on the things that we want and not the things that we don't want, don't waste time on negative thoughts. If you think 'bad' things you will attract bad things, think 'good' things and you will attract good things. Thoughts become Things.

    Mmmmm......giant jaffa cakes......:drool:

    ;)

    The kids are both in bed, Natasha is fast asleep and Ryan is reading - I haven't got the photo yet, although I managed to sneak a few of him at the party I think (just downloading them from the camera at the moment).

    The adults are playing Singstar and drinking beer and rose wine (not together :p) - we are sounding GREAT! :o:o

    Will post some photos in a bit, hopefully!

    Happy birthday to Matthew, Sampainter - is that him in your avatar? He's gorgeous. :A

    Jacs, get a photo posted!!! :D
