Hello everyone!
Well, it's been a very busy week in Hoppyland for, as my dh, along with my SIL, have been clearing my MIL's flat. Her flat was absolutely full to bursting with stuff, and needless to say, my flat is now growing smaller and smaller with all the stuff being brought here. Apart from personal things like photos, of which there are several boxes, we have gained blankets, piles of shrink-wrapped bed-linen and curtains, countless electrical gadgets, heaven knows what else. Had we a cat, there would now be no room at all to swing it.
Ironically, dd just today, got into the crawling position for the first time EVER, obvriously thinking that yes, now there's no space to do it, I think it's high time I had a go at crawling.
My MIL's Funeral will be next week - there'll be a wake afterwards and we've been sorting through all the photos to get a nice 'MIL's Life' album together to pass around - my dh saw this done at another wake, and thought it was a great idea. dh has been coping very well with everything - I think he's just been too busy with all the practical things - he has said himself he's glad he has so much to do to keep his mind of it.
luna - well done on choosing nursing - hope it goes well for you, and hey, being 30 is great! I myself like it so much, I'll be celebrating my 30th birthday for the 11th time later this year!
Tomatosauce - welcome!
booby - I like the sound of the three-storey house, we would have loved one ourselves, but round here, the prices are astronomical, we're happy to be moving into a 3-bed semi, which will seem luxurious after having lived in a shoebox for 6 years. The fact that we'll have a garden connected to the house will be brilliant - I've never been able to hang out washing here, and often feel very wistful on those sunny, blowy days!
