Hello my lovelies [hsmile]
I return with good news, the lawyer signed the missives for our new house yesterday and we move next week (8th). Our own house sold in five days and a lovely family with twin babies move in on 16th. DS1 has settled into his new school and slowly but surely the awful events are diminishing with time and we are about to start a new chapter in our lives full of love. Thank you all so much for your encouraging words of support, you'll never know how much they meant to me when I was down. Bloodied and bruised but never knocked out, us weebles may wobble but do we ever fall down? Not a chance.
I have been lurking on my phone so haven't felt too out the loop but will be back to proper postings now [hsmile].
Sabs - I know we've spoken over the text but am so delighted for you and your DH. Bunker down and let's wish the next 7 weeks away. Hope the tiredness hasn't kicked in too severly.
Buddha I saw your photos on FB and I too have a cruch on Katy from I Can Cook! Am well jel! E looked like he was in seventh heaven [hgrin]
4ever hi honey, what a busy half-term you have and S isn't even at school yet! Well done on the weight loss and I'm with you on being uber excited about Christmas, although no where near as organised [hgrin]. Lovely to read about you visiting your EPU almost 3 years to the date you first saw S, a good sign for sure. I recently bought a kindle and love it its so... quiet! The no page turning takes a bit of getting used to but it will come into its own on holiday when I'm lying on a sun lounger - who am I kidding, by the time I'm doing that again books will probably be downloaded straight to our brains [hgrin]
rumours, I would love you to move to the central belt, you'd be drinking meeting up distance from neeko and me and we're so near both Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth and Stirling, the world is your oyster!
barbie whatever life and France throws at you you bat it away without missing a beat, you are amazing but not as amazing as Dolly's hair which is just gorgeous. France looks so good on her 
. How are your S Korea plans shaping up?
neeko - how are you and your lovely girls. Early December meet up is on the cards, Chrismtas pancakes and school choirs in the Square - bring.it.on.
LBM Were you talking about toilet training? (Scrolls back thread, can't remember) My almost 3 year old is still firmly in nappies [hblush]. I haven't broached it with him as hoped in vain that he would 'get it' like his big brother did at a mere 25 months but no. I'm going to bite the bullet and train him after we move .
cupcake - well done you too on the weight lost. You're one determined tenacious lady and it takes a lot to say no to cakes when you're sleep deprived!
Think louey is in Lanzarote this week judging by her gorgeous FB photos of little O. Not [henvy] at all, no honestly I'm not.
Love and waves to all our missing and lurking Emmsy's moon MLS BQ curly
Off to carve a pumpkin, 10 fingers going in, hopefully 10 fingers coming out the other side [hgrin]
