Back and Blogging again!!

Wednesday 25th May 2011.

Well that was a journey and a half. After getting almost 900 views / visits to my last blog the site completely crashed and died leaving my little blog in nowhere land. So with the help of my daughter complete blog was airlifted onto this new site and i’m up and running again yay!!!

Even better blogs get put on automatically onto FB yay ( little girlie hand clapping in background).

So I contacted both schools to apply for places and am awaiting replies (more waiting) and contacted agent about the house in LS. Apparently just waiting for my guarantor to fill out his form. Big shout in his direction, should be done tomorrow but nothing else is really standing in our way.

IF

You don’t count my teenager, soooooooooooo where are we moving to? why are we moving there? why can’t you just go back to work then we cab stay here??? 

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard it kills me that he won’t just give it a try, if it works its great if not we gave it a good shot/ Anyway new XBox game apparently out in 6 months time that’ll keep him occupied.

Even had my daughter looking up statistics for LS and this is what she found (LOL)
