    Ahhhhh back home....

    We have just arrived back today after a week away in a caravan with the children, a good time was had by all!

    Afternoon all,

    What have we been up to since our break?

    Since we got the results yesterday I have had a mix of emotions.  Everyone is so happy for us and we are happy too.  We are.  But...it has also brought me down somewhat too.  This I hadn't…

    Well.....

    Last night didn't hold much restful sleep as I am sure you can imagine.  

    I was caught unaware whilst writing my blog post by all my Facebook friends lighting candles and posting pictures of them to let me know they were thinking of me.  My Facebook went nuts for over an hour and my eyes leaked not for the first time, not entirely helped with my writing of quite an emotional blog.  I often cry a little while…
