The Girls Favourite People!

Here are Aunty Helen and Uncle Iain.

The 2 people that the girls love more than us - or so it seems! Between them and Grandad, mummy and daddy don't get a look in!

My brother and I never got on as kids, even as teenagers things were hit and miss, but since adulthood, we are what I would now class as friends! It means a lot to me, especially since Mum passed away, that we can chat and have fun together.

Helen has been going out with my brother for years! She used to babysit for me and she always looked out for me. Since they got married, things seem to have gone well. I was so pleased when they finally tied the knot and started living together. Since the girls came along, they are both smitten with the girls and like to spend as much time as possible with them.

We love you Aunty Helen and Uncle Iain!

My Dad, My Hero!

Here is my Dad. The one person who is there for me no matter what. He is an absolute angel, fantastic with the kids, and a real support to me and Dave. We have all had a tough few years following mum's death, but we are getting there day by day. We all have our wobbles, some more than most, but we are there for each other to make things ok.

Dad, just for you, I want to say THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU. I appreciate everything you do for us, and we dont deserve you.

My Girls!

These are the little treasures (or horrors, depending on their mood!) that are keeping me on my toes. Jessica is 2yrs old and Rebecca is 1yr old. Its getting harder and harder to accept that my babies are now running around, causing havoc!

Maybe number 3 will be a boy to even it out slightly!!! (when I feel ready that is - no announcement to be made!)

Wednesday Worries!

Morning everyone!

Woke this morning feeling a little more positive, but then soon sank back down to the pits!

Im waiting in all morning for the courier to arrive with a parcel for me, the one that should have turned up yesterday to collect the parcel didnt, and is resheduled for tomorrow.

Got the christmas fair this afternoon, and thankfully Dave is allowed home at 2pm today so he can watch the girls while I hopefully sell some cards and gift tags! Quite nervous really, because I dont feel its the best place to sell - it will be mainly kids after all.

One bonus is, I get a few hours away from the girls today. I intend to treasure it as only him above knows when the next time may be.

Need to pop to post office either at 2pm when I pick Dave up or earlier this morning if courier arrives early. Need to post a parcel and get stamps for all my christmas cards.... its going to be expensive!

Have just read something on Mumsnet.com that has annoyed me a little. A woman on there is living miles away from her "partner" and has got pregnant by him. One catch, he too is in the Army. She is refusing to move to be with him, and he is (rightly in my opinion) refusing to give up his job and pension to be closer to her.

I can see her point of view that her children from a previous relationship are happy where they are, but you cant have a relationship with a squaddie without becoming the mistress!!!

Lets hope she can see some sense and sort it out!

Well, thats about it for today. Things are going well for Dave at the CPU, I think he quite enjoys it really, and considering he was never a paperwork kind of guy, he is really impressing the bosses. Things look good for him being offered a job there when he gets booted!

Will update tonight on the success (or lack of) at the christmas fair.

Loves you all xxx
