thanks everyone for the sympathies-it really really pisses me off and has got me quite down today, Richie also. Its getting to that time of year when burglaries/break ins etc get more common and it reminds me of last year when i had that sneak burglary when i was in the bath, it really makes you feel vunerable and i don't know how to prevent it apart from the usual precautions. Rich is going to get a different car as apparantly the one he has (toyota corolla) is a quite commom target, so he's looking at Audi's now at least they should have alarms! I wouldn't mind, but i quite often accidently leave my car unlocked and nobody has gone in it (touch wood) well, at least they wouldn't need to break the window! Oh, and, as he lives in the West of the city and i live in the East, we are always arguing about which is the better side to live, and things like this DO NOT work in favour of my argument!
Stefka-i got a tear to my eye too, i'm so glad you felt ok about it, I was a little worried you'd be offended. Am liking the sil edge on it too
I think you are all the best friends i've ever had iykwim, i wonder if we'll still all chat by the time the los are 10 or 20 or having their own babies!
Alice-am excited about the house for you and great news about the house prices going down for you. pmsl @ the doctors writing, i just knew it'd be you
WWAJC-the only reason i asked was because Richie is needing to change his mortgage over and i was going to send him your way if it'd help you make money! I know you wouldn't rip him off too
Crochet-am impressed at your 7.45 out of the house, i struggle to leave by 9.10 for college after rushing dd1 down the road and shooing her off to school, then running back and getting bottles..etc ready.
LLL-Well done Ben! Shannon just refuses to even take one step, she'd rather drop down and crawl 6 inches! She also has a hell of a lot of tantrums already, guess it must be girls...or me!
well, against my better judgement(lack of money and probably sleep) I have managed to get a baby sitter for Sat 1st Nov and me and Rich are driving up to his mates in London for a halloween party, i'm not too keen on going but he is really excited so i suppose i should make an effort! I have been a prize cow to him lately, being tired and possibly anemic and he has took it all in his stride, even taking Shannon out or getting up with her in a morning so i suppose i owe him some quality time, also out this Sat as his friends are coming down from Scarbrough-its a sad time when i'd prefer to be sleeping than going out drinking!
Shanon is still off, i really don't know what to do with her, i'm hoping her teeth will come soon very very soon as i think they may be the route of the problem, shes still only got 2!
right kids are in bed, bath and a spot of Facebook for me i think!
