Hello... anyone still there?

Well getting the internet back has been a total farse! i cannot believe my last post was september and TODAY was our reconnection date. thats crazyness!

we moved out litrally overnight and i didnt have time to post anything on here, but we have moved to a nice ground floor flat in woodside. its right next to the school i want Thomas to attend, and not to far from our church. it was magnolia throughout when we moved in, laminate floors throughout except the bedrooms. the kitchen and bathroom are quite new and spacious, and all applicances are working! the only problem is no storage, but thats fixable!
Ellen is now 7 months, nearly crawling and eating three meals a day. Thomas is now 21 months and talking in sentances. his favourite word at the moment is NO, tom would say no to sweets given half the chance.

Michael is at full time university and full time work, meaing we dont hardly see him at the moment, but he is applying for part time jobs so fingers crossed.

and moi.. well im now a size 10, i've had my hair cut and actually have time to put make up on in the mornings. so i look alot better now and feel more like myself.

unfortuatly we have gone through quite a tramatic time recently. Ellen had just turned 5 months when we found out that i was pregnant again. it came as a complete shock as we had been very careful not to take any chances, and we had managed the previous 4 months without any problems.

after a long conversation we decided that it would be best if we didnt continue with the pregnancy. there was just no way we could stretch michaels wages, and it would have meant moving again, not to mention the strain of three children all under school age. 'so anyway that is all over now and although it did put alot of pressure on us at the time, christmas was great at bringing us closer together again and if anything its made us stronger.

now onto a brighter note! we have redectorated the flat, and we will be putting in some storage monday as there is just no where to put anything at the moment lol! The kids room is beautiful, i painted it white and bought a brightly coloured border and stickers for the walls. we have put matching curtains and bedding in the room, its a zoo theme bright yellows oranges and greens. the living room is plum and caramel, two walls of each, and we have an extra sofa now. we will have a fridge freezer on tuesday, and im hoping to buy a dishwasher in the summer.

i turned 22 on the 27th of December my friend Tuesday had her baby on the 28th, thats her on the right. She is beautiful, her name is Brooke and she was nearly 9lb! poor Tuesday lol!

right kids awake from their naps so im off, will update pictures and post again tomorrow.
