My DD sounds like your 14month old. She just wants to climb everywhere.

We came to the UK on the 20th of January 2004. We lived in London for a year and 7 months. Then my husband got a job in Bugbrook (Northampton) so we moved here. I couldn't get a job so I went to live with friends during the week, and came back over weekends to my hubby. I worked as a security guard at the QE2 Conference Centre.
When I fell pregnant I still worked there to get my maternity leave.
I'm a childminder now, but haven't had kids to look after yet. Also one of the reasons we're moving. Main one is to get closer to DH's work.

wow security guard!!!

Its a nightmare isnt it when they want to climb, they cock that leg and get up on anything! Being a childminder must be wonderful, you will certainly get to meet plenty of mums that way. There are alot of big meet ups going on at the moment you must join in

I know Northampton & Milton Keynes, lots of lovely villages.

Do you have any hobbies?

Yes!! Have been to MK shopping centre. I love it there! But DH isn't keen on it. Doesn't like all the people there so we don't go alot.
But, I'm working on my driving skills, so one of these days I'll take my DD and go shopping on my own.
That is one thing I loved when I was growing up, my mum and I always went to the shops on a Saturday, always said I'm going to do that when I have a girl.

Must be hard with the allergies. Is it serious? (don't know of the spelling)

OP posts:
Hillls · 27/04/2007 11:34

Oh how lovely, yes shopping is lovely mother and daughter, my dd is a shopping addict she loves new things and is often found parading up and down the changing room in new clothes, she cant go past a pair of shoes without at least touching them

Driving is a must, great independance, nowhere is too far when you can drive, are you learning?

Hillls · 27/04/2007 11:36

Yes my dd's are anaphylactic like when someone eats a nut they could die. My dds are the same for egg, nuts, pineapple, mango, bees, wasps and much more.

It is difficult but brings a new challange on baking, how I'd love to just add an egg

What sort of things do you make?

Actualy, I can drive. Drove in SA for a year and a half before coming here. After the year and 7 months in London we got a car when we moved to Wellingborough. So never drove again. To scared to drive here. The streets are so narrow here - more wider in SA.
But, the other day I drove on the A45 to a friends house. With DH next to me, helping. So I'm getting there.

Must be very hard to have an allergy like that. Shame.

OP posts:
Hillls · 27/04/2007 11:43

It can be rather daunting especially in a different country, just do it bit by bit and you will soon gain more confinence, you will be zipping back and forth in no time

I learnt to drive in the dark, as I worked all day when it got around to it I found it difficult driving in daylight with so many cars on the road - sounds silly doesnt it, but I drive anywhere now.

There is lots to do in Northampton area so you will never be bored

Glad to hear you are feeling better sweetheart, you can get cabin fever in all day with little ones, can really get to you, I try and go out every day at leat in the garden. have you seen the bar and tea shop thread? its a virtual bar and tea shop 'obviously' but there is normally always someone about to have a chat to and we are a very friendly supportive bunch, you will be made very welcome if you wanted to make an appearance. I'm normally always in there.

we are but a button click away ... always

Hillls · 27/04/2007 11:48
