and now it is November!

Hi,

So, I failed in writing more frequently!!  I've been busy!!

Firstly, Lissa is having a baby!!  I think I knew last time I wrote my blog but couldn't really say on here - but she is now 10 weeks and has had an early scan and everything looks good!!  I am so happy for her - and for me! lol.  I am so excited!!  She has said I can be there at the birth! If that happens I think it will be one of the best things in my whole life!  I think it will be hard to see Lissa go through it - but at the same time - to see her baby being born will be amazing! I expect I'd bond to that baby like a mother!!  Its weird I already feel like a bond is developing - like when it was me that was pregnant!!

The only downside of this amazing news is that Erika is still trying desperately to have a baby and is not getting pregnant.  She has known problems so hopefully she will get there eventually because those problems are treatable.  She is seeing the specialist again this month.  I'm really hoping however, that this month will be the month!! if her and Lissa can go through all this together that would be awesome.  Me and my sister (Bev) went through it together when I was pregnant with the twins - and her with Megan.  My other sisters Helen and Joanne were also pregnant at the same time!

Lissa has started writing her blog again (Lil beetroot) - so it will be awesome to have a running commentary! I think I wrote a diary when I was pregnant with Adam, I'll have to find it and re-write it on here.

so, changing the subject from that amazing exciting news - to my boring life....I have been working in one of the attic bedrooms - I have put the details in a separate post, and it can also be found under 'house renovations'.

We went out for Paul's birthday Friday night - went to the Spinning Wheel as usual in Paignton - was a really good night!!  We have also arranged to go to a War of the Worlds event in London on 23rd November - ending up very expensive but should be worth it!



Was good to see Helen and Paul - I miss them when we don't see them for a while - we can talk about anything - laugh about everything...was awesome.

Yvonne came around last weekend and it ended up very badly!!  Andy and her ended up arguing - and me - siding with Yvonne.  I don't really want to go into details but it was about - Yvonne's opinions about porn - I asked her what she didn't like about it as she is very anti-porn, and her opinions about men and also stuff about Stuart. Yvonne ended up crying and going home the next day rather than Stuart come over with the kids and stay for the football.  Its all now a horrible situation, with Yvonne wanting to sort it out and talk about it and Andy not wanting to talk to her about it!

Anyway - I've just been and got changed into my PJ's because I got up this morning thinking it was Monday - and planning my work day - I was making Andy a brew to take down into the basement where he works - and suddenly realised that it was Sunday! That is the 2nd time I have done that!!  Today is football day!! The Jags are playing the Texans in London - we really need to win this game!!  We did consider going to watch the game and one night when we had too much to drink we almost spent £1400 on special hospitality tickets!! In some ways I wish we had - but we are not that flush for money to spend that much really.  So....we are now sat in the living room, in PJ's and the fire is on - and at 2.30pm my game is being played!!  If only we had yummy food lined up - and some Desperado beers in the fridge it would be the perfect day!
