    Justamum - thats steep, whereabouts are you


    I'm in the Isle of Man - VERY expensive place to live. Everyone assumes it's full of millionaires, but most of us struggle along on less than average incomes, and pay London prices for everything.

    Congratulations. That's quick. Didn't you only put the offer in yesterday? Is it true there's no gazzumping allowed in Scotland either so the seller can't pull out at the last minute because of a better offer? (or maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else :D)

    ssl well done. That is brill news

    lil-me maybe you are having vibes about me - that would be 38+5 weeks for me, which is when i went into labour with DS - i would be happy for that stage again if you have any influence

    just hung all the towels outside. It won't fully dry them now as they are too heavy, but it will reduce TD time. It's lovely having such nice weather for a change, and having the time to go out and peg out. Plus, i should be able to empty all the linen baskets at this rate and not have any washing - for about an hour!

    SSL Great News :D:D

    Johanna Good Vibes for Friday but I am giving BIGGER ones for Thursday so that you can even more time with DH and your delightful new baby :D

    Mudbath Life is wonderful for putting you in perspective. Fairydust for your wrist and your next door neighbour.

    My nana's funeral is going to be next Friday. Think Dh will have to look after the children and because of the time it will be will have to stay overnight-at a hotel maybe.
