a bit unsettling

Well the house has been on the market for a few days now. We moved loads of our stuff out into mams loft at the weekend, nice cos its all a pain to have around but a bit odd because we were getting our house ready for other people. But the really odd bit was when a i turned around today to find a man with a mallet in mid swing staring into my front room, it was the guy putting a for sale sign up in the garden. I kind of feel like we are camping in our own house now. Every thing has to be prepared for how we think other people would like to see it. I haven't managed to generate a great deal of excitement yet, I am worried that we wont find anywhere we want to live and end up homeless. I love the position of where we live just could do with a tad more space. Hoping to be out by Christmas before the fifth member of the family comes along. Have a look at our house it looks a lot more posh than it does in real life. If you know anyone who may like to buy it pass on the details.

anyway I think I will potter off and do some more knitting, now that is something I can get really can excited about. Where are my priorities!!!

OH NO

So apparently we are not already overtaken by slugs (we are in our garden). It is going to get worse! Apparently it is likely the current infestation could turn into a plague. Well seen as I cant seem to harvest vegetables form my garden as a result of slugs maybe I should harvest the slugs instead and find some delicious recipes.

House went on goes on the market next week. We have signed the stuff and that is that.

Girls are great

Well I am really excited we've just booked the girls their first ever theatre experience. It not until February but I know they will love it. They are off to see Lazy Town live which in in Sheffield only on one day and we managed to get tickets. he he, they will love it. I had thought of taking them to see a pantomime before but worried they would not sit still. This however is a perfect induction and trial as Lazy Town, for the uninitiated, is a both awful and brilliant international TV phenomenon aimed at pre-schoolers and is all about burning energy and eating vegetables so sitting still will probably not be too important.

On a slightly more terrifying note I think we are putting the house on the market tomorrow, we may not even be here for Christmas, that feels strange. Its all come about rather suddenly and I am both daunted and excited by the prospect, though possibly more the former at present. The thought of having to keep the house tidy for short notice viewings feels a bit unachievable. We will try. The end result will be great, my dream house is out there somewhere. It has a large garden with no privet hedges and a large utility room if you see it let me know!

The Birthday

Well the other night we both too tired to anything other than pop the odd photo up. Children's parties are exhausting. But it was a good day, sadly we cant put any other photos of the party up as all the children (due to the presence of the paddling pool) were completely naked in them. One observation from the day would have to be, that it is a sign of age when you cant stand the taste of icing sugar any more. There was a distinct divide between those who would eat and those who wouldn't eat. Any one liking icing should pop round in the next day or two as there is still plenty left!

Ruby's Third Birthday

Here are some photos from Ruby's birthday. I hope you are impressed with her mole cake.
