HOWDY MOOLINGS!

So... over the MASSIVE amount of time I've been missing from this little corner of my online-world... much has happened in all your lives eh? Babies and fostering and marriage and goodness knows what else.. I am gradually getting back on top of everything but if any of you feel like shooting me off a summary email.. feel free to do so :o) I'm always so so so so so pleased to hear from you diddymoo@gmail.com

One of the most hectic periods of my absence was May - June I don't think I ever really took time to breathe then but (at the request of one of those involved in my busyness) I thought I'd give you a few pictures from that time..

So you all knew we were moving house I think yes? (I'm guessing so because in my last video blog I said "I haven't moved yet before proceeding to show you around my old sitting room) well anyway.. it was an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!! Any incompetence that could hold it up DID hold it up but there was a feeling throughout that we had to push on and keep going and after about 3 months of torturous fixing of STUPID problems we finally signed over our first home in Windsor Avenue on March 21st.

We moved into the new house on the 23rd (it's still not completely decorated or arranged how we'd like but soon I shall show you pictures!!)

On the 24th of the SAME month... Hosanna and B arrived from Australia (not directly - they had actually come from Ireland via Scotland and were then off to Dubai? that right Hosanna?) and despite the HORRIFIC mess (since we'd only moved the day before) they squatted in our shell of a new house until the 26th. Having just moved house I obviously didn't have my camera available so the ONLY pictures I have to prove that it really happened are from Craig's Birthday night out (to which they were invited) which Becca took - thanks Rat!!

The same time as THEY were here Ray (my WONDERFUL Scottish chum) announced that he was passing through and so of COURSE he came to stay too... bearing in mind we barely had ONE bed set up so most of us slept on the floor surrounded by boxes and with no fridge or freezer either! So we were something of a strange international hostel that weekend and I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone for accepting the poor attempt at hospitality we offered.. it was a mad mad mad time but it was AMAZING to meet them and to hear about their adventures prior to them arriving!

We had MUCH fun doing very little. We visited Primark - they met my friends - we went to BAJA (cheesiest club around) we sat around - we ate pizza - we laughed and we talked LOTS!!!

Picking them up from the train station was the best - I had NO makeup on my hair was soaking wet and I'd just had a massive fight with Gareth (which I can't even remember what it was about we were just VERY stressed out back then) AND we were late.. so their first impression of me can't have been particularly good but they stayed and they were wonderful and I'm so so glad that they were the first to come and stay with us I hope they come back soon.. and you can be sure we're coming over there sometime... maybe we'll even ride the sex train gerbil!! :oP

The Turkey holiday I mentioned in the previous entry... was booked 3 days after Hosanna left and departed 3 days after THAT - we love last minute stuff us WILLIAMSES

so there you go...
