Playing blog catch up

Ok, I'll keep this brief but just wanted to get my blog all caught up with what's been happening in my world since my last few posts (author reserves the right to expand on a few topics at a later date!).

• Moved house, slowly, over the last few weeks, not as stress free as I'd imagined and now THIS house looks like a bomb site (what's new?)



• Major internet connection problems (which partly explains why I haven't been able to post for as long as I have). I think the initials BT stand for something completely different. In fact they have still not connected us and we are now in dispute with them (almost definitely more on this subject to follow)



• Loads of visitors to our new house in the first week (before we'd even really moved). My mum & step dad arrived on the Wednesday, left on the Friday, my sister (& husband & 5, yes 5, children arrived on the Saturday and stayed until Tuesday). Great to be with family but perhaps the timing could have been better?



• Mother's Day. Totally spoiled and pampered all day. Taken out for a very posh meal and obviously my 'Just in Case' section is working because he bought me the beautiful dichoric glass heart pendant {note to self 'update Just in Case section often'}



• ScrapManic - YAY! - last Friday and arrived home last evening (more on this later I think)

Now it's the first day of the Easter holidays and I'm looking forward to some down time. Where you don't have to rush around in the mornings (not that I do much, this is pretty much Richard's domain), no school uniform to get washed and dried, no going through the trauma of persuading Noah that "really pre-school is great and you'll have a fantastic morning darling" (knowing full well that within 5 minutes of dropping him off he'll be having a whale of a time, and no rushing around to all their various activities.

I'll catch up in more detail later but for now a great big hello to all my friends, cyber ones or not!
