heehee, thanks hun. I really hope so. Going to do a nice tidy at the weekend, move more of nate's crap into my room and fill in the form. Nervous and excited. I will have my piano there too, I will just need to get in tuned and then I can play again.

Lol scarlet you loon! thanks though.
Thanks adelle. I'm just going to have to hope and pray we get it. Nate's a little charmer so hopefully he will cute the house off of them! (a bit like how you can charm the pants off someone) I will have to hide dad away though and just get them to see mum if they need to speak to them. Dad's like "tell 'em we're moving!" no dad, then I won't have the local connection. Go sit in the corner!

ahaha, yeah! They are coming on Tuesday at 12:45... which is when Nate will be having a nap... hmm... I will just put him down and say I've put him in another room so she could see my room without us disturbing him. so...
Monday - tap class
Tuesday - housing lady
Wednesday - Weigh in
Tomorrow I will be doing another tidy of my room, putting away all the laundry I've finally been able to get done, get the nappies posted to mum's cousin's friend (hello £70 bonus) and fill out this scary looking massive form. I'll be bringing up most of nate's toys into my room on Monday I think Thankfully I did a good sort out of my room last weekend, including going through some of mine and all of nate's clothes. It'll be such a relief as my parents are going to be moving to their other house, and they want to get this house sold this year and Nate and I can't live here while they are trying to sell it and I seem to be miles down every other list on housing.

The houses are brand new. They're still building them. Haha. so it shouldn't need immediate decoration. And grandad sent £300 down a few weeks ago that I haven't touched. Mum's excited at unloading a load of furniture on me. Either 2 red or 2 brown sofas (depending on space), washing machine and tumble drier (although I doubt I will be using the tumble drier much!), bed, cabinets, bedside tables, etc. Because the other house was rented out furnished I'll be able to have a lot of that I'd have to get a phone line in which is about £150 or something. I just need to get the place first. I daren't think it could be mine until I get the call to say it is. I had genuinely given up hope after the call last week

thanks texty hun.
Lol, adelle, I meant the general you, not the specific the vous not the tu as it were. I realised that he'll be napping when they come though. I can't imagine they'll be here too long.
is it bad i watched nashville on more4 then i put it on more4+1? In my defence it is getting taped on +1 and it has to be on so it doesn't clash for 5 minutes.... any excuse. I love country!

Ooh Nashville looks really good but I've missed the first few. If you're loving it then I'll have to download them or something.
The OH is a bit hit and miss with letting on when something's up. I had another chat with him today and said I don't want him to make a sacrifice and then resent me and he said it's not the case. He likes the broader area of work we do and doesn't mind too much about the specific specialism as long as he's making a difference.
Great potential news on the house. I really hope all goes well for you!

Thanks hun. I don't think you could check more with him if he is ok, he seems pretty clear he is ok with everything. (EXCITING)
Nashville is fab, definitely catch up on it. I'd also recommend seeing, if you can get the 1st series (there's only been one so far but it has been commissioned for a 2nd series) of, Smash

Holiday Countdown!
Hey sweetie, just so you know, all fingers and toes will be crossed for you on Tuesday. I know you probably don't want to get your hopes up just in case but... How exciting eeeeee!!! Xxx

Thanks minky (ooh auto correct tried to call you kinky) I did a little dance and trust it at my mum after reading the first line of the letter because I got so excited. Then I had to remind myself to calm down and not get my hopes up.
In quail news we have one with a broken wing now, weasel got in through another way, so that's been blocked off. And it was so cold last night their water froze. Bless 'em. They were bobbing about happy enough though so hopefully there'll be no more attacks for a while. When it got 6 of them there was nothing for months so here's hoping i have blocked enough off for some respite. Now I know it is a weasel and not rats there's even less i can do. They normally only live until they are 3 and they'll be 3 some point this year according to the lad we adopted them from, which makes it a little less awful, but not much.
Nate news... So proud, he helped me with a bunch of jobs this morning and I let's him chose a treat from his box. I picked one out of each kind, lined them up on the table and said he could pick one. So he picks some up, looks at them, puts them down, moves a couple so he could see what it was properly, then he had two in his hand and was looking at them and put one back and held the other out to me and ran to his high chair. SO PROUD. I was super proud, he listened, he looked at them and then he chose one. Most kids (and adults lol) would grab lots, but at nearly 23 months he selected just one and did it in a considered way. Admittedly the ones he moved were similar (one was own brand one was a bit bigger) and he wanted to move them so they were all together because he is a bit odd like that.
Food news is a bit dull really, was supposed to have wheatabix for breakfast according to the plan but I don't like them, so I had blueberry wheats instead so it was similar instead of saving my heb for extra snaffles later. Mum and dad are going out to lunch so they won't be having tea, which was veggie curry (so today would be green and I'd get more healthy extras) but I am going to add some chicken that needs using and I have found left over creole pie I can have instead of throwing it out and i can use my hea cheese on it. In my attempt to use all my healthy extras and use most in my meals. So today should be
B: fruit, yogurt, blueberry wheats (heb), cup of tea (0.5 syn)
L: creole pie, hea cheese and side salad
D: chicken curry oh! Or diet coke chicken! And rice. Mango for pud
Then I can have some chocolate in the evening if I fancy any.
Got to do more cleaning laundry etc so Monday will just be a quick whip round and when Nate is up and fed we'll be off on a walk to post these nappies.

Thanks adelle I was so pleased he understood, took his time and considered what he wanted. He has been a right piggy today, ate all his tea, then some of mine, half a mango and 3 yogurts!
And I'm pleased that I have another 100% day ticked off. It turned out dad thought the chilli was just for him and mum not all of us, so I didn't need to cook at all today! I did clean the kitchen, do a load of laundry, put 2 loads away, change my bed, tidy the lounge, pack away most of my books, all the clothes in the built in wardrobe, and a bunch of stuff in the bathroom! Still got shoes and bags in there and Nates old clothes (already bagged up) that I need to sort out. I dunno if I want to keep them, sell them or just give them to charity. The preloved shop didn't seem bothered in having them (she hadn't seen them). I will be selling his old pram on eBay as that is where i got it! I sent off the nappies so should get a cheque next week. Woop. Sending them off involved what's normally a half hour walk, and here in the land of the mad it involved me lifting Nate up so he could post some stranger's letters for her. So in my walk, cleaning and packing I figure I've clocked up some more body magic.
