Hi to akk Hey ruby

Just want to congratulate Tort on her fantastic news overjoyed for you & your boys(and dd's of course)

I've been out of the house since just before 11am this morning. Got back at 430ish. Spent nearly 1.5 hours waiting to see Dr, I have sinusitis(can't spell let alone smell) Ellie's inner ear is slightly red so we both have antibiotics.

I've done very little since we got back, part from feed Ellie her tea. I am off to feed neighbours cats & then bath Ellie when we have both feed cats. my dh has decided to remain ouot at lunch(pub) he was pissed when I spoke to him when I got back Its certainly a mans world.

MadameSleepsLessAndLess · 09/03/2007 18:18

tort so chuffed I just had to say it again

Evening all (although i expect no one is around!)
Thanks for celebratory messages!

Ruby House is just about big enough. We all moved here together 9mths before DS's were taken by SS. Could do with a bigger place though so will certainly look into it soon.
Its been so hard not to say anything to them. Oh well, not long until April 18th. Perfect birthday present!
I think they will slowly move to being back here by September. That means i will have to get new school uniform for them and DD1! I better start saving.

Shouldbe That is fantastic, i am so glad my news spurred you on to pick DD up. Hope DS is on the mend too.
