This is amazing! It looks great already - love the bedding! I’m so glad your mum and dad are helping so much and your children are reconnecting. It probably won’t be smooth-sailing all the time, but the less they hear ex’s poison, the better your ongoing relationships with them will be.

Grr at the school though!

Grrrpredictivetex · 18/11/2024 23:54

Glad you've had a great day Laura.
You so deserve this house and your children will be there beside you becoming a family again. ❤️

Glad you found us @Wibblywobblybobbly

Oh my goodness, I've just come across this thread and I've never been so happy to see a poster back! I was one of the early posters on your original thread, and I was so worried about you.

I'm so amazed by how far you've come! What a lovely new home you have! And I'm so pleased you're back on speaking terms with your parents and that they are taking such good care of you.

Wishing you every happiness in your new home.

Ah, it sounds such a manic but amazing day! That’s brilliant you’re getting your fridge and washing machine tomorrow 🥰. So happy for your proper home. Also super pleased that your eldest is being so loving and positive. You’ve won the battle I think, wining the war isn’t far off!! Have a great sleep 😴

Thank you @Apolloneuro , I get my internet next Friday. I’m looking forward to having a zoom chat with you and any other spoonies that wish to join. Will you be wearing your pink pvc trousers?xx

Hi Laura, I’ve had a good day, went shopping with my sister. Then we went for lunch, which was lovely. Out again tonight with friends, back home now and have just watched I’m a celebrity!
It’s so good that your daughter has been shopping, it makes it all the more real that she is planning her new bedroom to be with you.
And that your son has been texting, how lovely is that! Your heart must be bursting with love.

Hope the school rings you tomorrow, without you having to chase them.

Sleep well knowing you are home. 🏠 🌺

Your day and evening sounds absolutely wonderful @Nottogetapenny . What did you have for your lunch?I had a tuna and onion panini with salad which was lovely from the cafe in the range. Btw that was the biggest hugest the range I’ve ever been to it was over 2 floors and was massive , you needed a taxi to get to one end to the other and it even had a big Iceland in there .
It’s been a lovely day speaking to my children they have all wished me luck and said they can’t wait to see house . And I was very surprised that daughter bought stuff for her new bedroom she seemed really chuffed with what she got too.
I hope you sleep well too and thank you so much for your support xx

I’ve literally never done this before, but when Laura has her internet sorted, does anyone fancy a group zoom? See what people think in a couple of weeks xx

I’d love that 🥰.

if people felt comfortable a WhatsApp group could be an option too to share more pics etc although it’s also lovely to have the thread here so new people can join 💕.

Ok. When you’re sorted I’ll suggest it again. If I set it up and anyone who wanted to join in pm’d me for the log in details, nobody would have to give out their email addresses etc.

Sleep superbly well tonight, and have another fabulous day tomorrow!!

I reckon tonight you'll sleep like a log given how wonderfully exhausting today has been - even the crunchie bars need have no fear!

I'm picturing all three of you on a fantastic whirlwind shopping extravaganza, breaking the sound barrier with your shopping speed!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, I feel like a log now tbh , my mum got me some Epsom salts in asda, she said they help to relax you and I nearly fell asleep in the bath! Tomorrow I’m up bright and early for delivery of fridge freezer and washing machine then I need to sort out gas/electric/water/council tax and bins out then parents are coming in afternoon. My mum goes through the shops at break neck speed and my dad kept losing us 😂 xx

Awwwww 🥰🥰🥰 absolutely amazing!! It’s such a gorgeous house and I’m so so so happy that your parents are really stepping up and helping so much. It’s everything you deserve ❤️❤️. I’m so happy you’re getting all the things you need for your lovely home. Just so hope you have the very best nights sleep and can send loads of pics to your lovely children to get them extra excited.

and most important question - is the spoon in the drawer?!! 😆😆

Awww thank you so much @RaspberryBeretxx , thank you for being happy for me and so kind it really means the world . I was telling my mum and dad all about you spoonies today and they was happy for me and said you all sound lovely . I’ve been sending lots of pics to my children , my eldest has even been texting me loads today waiting my luck , saying he’s thinking about me and just now asked me how move in day went he also asked if he could come and see me and I said he never has to ask this is his home too even though he wants to stay there I’ve told him he’s welcome anytime and I’d love for him to come and stay.
The spoon is in the drawer , it was the first thing I did when I got the keys . It looks great , just right where it belongs xx

Lovely update, I’m so pleased your mam and dad are doing so much to help you. Your house looks amazing, you deserve to be happy.

How did the phone call go to your son’s school this morning? Hopefully they are aware of your situation and will help you. 😘🌺

Hi @Nottogetapenny , how’s your day been? I love my new home and can’t wait to make it homely . My daughter has just video called me to show me her haul from shopping today. She’s got all stuff for her new bedroom! She said she’s going for the ‘aesthetic’ look whatever that means 😂.
I have rang school several times today they said they havnt managed to go through their emails yet as they have been super busy. I did reiterate that the email I sent was very important but they said once they get to it they will contact me. Hopefully they will contact me tomorrow if not I’ll chase them again xx
