No, we've both been on here far too long and both live in the same part of the World, in fact, I'm going to meet her for the first time ever next week! (Help!)

You'd better not get lost!!! PM me your email and I'll send you directions!

My DD is also 8 - so that's one of them off your hands....

LOL, I don't envy you with 4... One is enough trouble for me. Luckily we didn't have to do the hat this year. I'm terrible at those things..

Sorry chaps,

Just spent 1/2 hour catching up on wot I missed due to DD aged 4. The little baggage only fell on my 3 1/2 week old laptop and smashed the screen.:curse::curse: If I didn't want a criminal record to go to Oz think I may have killed her lolol. Am laughing about it now but on Wednesday when she did it I was crying lol.

Yes Beth am with you again with several nicotine patches stuck all over me, out of it on sedatives and husband trying to deal with 13 and 11 yr old boys and 6 and 4 yr old girls lolol. Its all good fun. Not impressed with being back on the desktop but hey thats how it goes until we can get the laptop sorted.

Anyway good luck again to all.

Thanks

Only just managed it without the criminal record though. She is the only one of my 4 that has ever done anything like this but at the end of the day it was an accident. Bless her (I think not) lolol.

I agree we all need to stay focused hun.

Have you heard back from the EA yet?

Kind regards

No........so I guess it's a no go now
Just praying for another viewer at the moment....a buyer would be even better!!!
Can't drop the price any lower either.........so we just wait!!!

Hi Beth

Heres hoping a buyer will come your way extremely soon then.

We haven't even got our house ready to be put on the market yet so not quite got the stress you have.

Heres hoping then

All the very best of luck.
