I just want to say..........!

[jmg1]

The last (almost) three years has been a nightmare, which isn't over but things are better.

I have just started posting after being awol from mumsnet + also moving to another Country.

In the past, many of you have given me some nice compliments + words of support and I want to say thank you.

thanks ct, how is life for you?

Life's pretty good atm, thanks. Mini-coppertop no.3 is due in March and no.1 and no.2 are doing well.

Haven't you patented those velcro PJs and mattresses yet? I could do with some for my ds2.

ct, congratulations on ct no 3
velcro, that was a good laugh , another business! could do with some for the drive to school, one of the few things I do miss is walking the kids (with the dogs) to and from school in the uk, they seem to get stressed going by car to and from school, or should I say they get me more stressed!

I think where you live is near faro and I am about 2 and a half hours away.

bsg, in Portugal thats a long way!
how long have you lived here?

You could even branch out into velcro dog coats. You'd always know where your pooches were. I wonder what "Velcro-Man" is in Portugese.....

strangly enough, velcro-man is not in my Portugues-Ingles dictionary, I shall make a complaint!

6 and a half years.I think Velcro is the same in portuguese as in english. Man in portuguese is homen.

No velcro-man? Outrageous!

Hurray for bsg.

hello there sunshine, glad you and your babies are happy in the sunshine!
I did try to email you a while ago to see how things are.
German women sounds like the evil one mate
Having met your ds I thought he was particularly gorgeous actually!
We all know where to head for our holidays now then
keep in touch - you've been missed

Hi piffle, how are you doing?

Great to hear from you jmg1. You've rescued your kids (and yourself) from your MIL - smart move!

You've done a wonderful job of keeping it all together over these hard times, I hope a new era of happiness is starting for you now.

DH and I had a long weekend in Porto last Feb. I can't tell you what a boost it was to get a bit of currant bun in the middle of winter. It really perked us up. Portugal is a great country.

Good to have you back on mn!

thanks anorak

Doing great jmg - everything is cool just now!
