    Hi Mot
    haven't posted for a while but thought i would drop in and say hi :wave:
    how are the twins getting on with their sats?
    hows the new home? are you all settled in now?
    Hi BMS :hello:

    Twins SATS went well - F had revised like mad and ia glad its over, A didn't and is still glad its over :rotfl: . They have been to a Saturday club today (A still making a video) and F off to a party in a min. Got I-T's Dad and sister coming for a meal tonight, it is the first time they have seen the house so I hope they like it!

    Garden is looking lovely, still quite a bit of planting to do out the front. The house is straight inside and really does feel like home - I am so pleased that Mr X alloed us to live here, it is strange to think of all the pain we went through and now we have come out of it all and are settled in a lovely home.

    Meal last night went well, I-T's Dad was very impressed with the garden and brought me some geraniums and petunias to put in it which was lovely of him!

    Today, the twins and I are off to see all the people from a church in town who were very helpful in finding us this home. Wol2 is coming for lunch, then the twins and I are off out with D&T tonight.

    The sun is shining albeit a bit chilly out there but what a difference it makes to see the sun again!

    Hope you all have a lovely restful day xx

    :j Have a fab today and evening Mot no-one deserves it more.

    I am a little worried though that with all this cooking and hosting you are going to be giving Nigella Lawson a run for her money are we in the midst of our very own "DFW DOMESTIC GODESS":rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Just wanted to tell you all that my Dad thinks MOT is a wonderful lady; in his words 'a very warm person and easy to talk to.' He and my sister loved the house and the garden, said she has made it into a beautiful, comfortable and welcoming home and think that after all the trials and tribulations MOT went through the house is well deserved. We had a lovely evening and my Dad and sis get on well with MOT and her DS & DD too. After a splendid meal (prepared by yours truly) of Chilli Chicken followed by Lemon tart and strawberries we played cards and plied Dad with brandy. A great time was had by all. Today I went with Dad and sis to London for a family get together; 50 or so eyeties in one room! A splendid buffet prepared by my Cousin's hubby who runs his own restaurant, plus lots of hugging, kissing and chatting, accompanied by hand gestures; well we are Italians after all. Cut off our hands and we're dumb! :D

    Morning!

    Twins not at school today as full of sneezes and coughs and general weariness. In fact F still asleep!

    The sun is shining so will have a go at planting the plants that Wol2 brought with her yesterday - ceonathus, periwinkle, hardy geraniums and more - along with the plants from I-T's Dad. The garden should be full of colour soon :D . Also got some lettuce seeds so will put those in too.

    The ironing pile is taking on the proportions of Mount Vesuvius so that needs tackling too - but find it more difficult to do having to sit down to do it :confused: .

    Went to church with D and T last night - found it all a bit 'full on' as the Vicar wore a multi coloured 'hawaiian' type shirt and was very 'upbeat', where were his robes and calmness? Made me question a lot about how I want to 'deal' with this side as I'm not sure that I can do this 'evangelical' way of worship:o . Think I am a more traditional style of girl really - more private and nowhere near as 'open' as these people were.
