Hello and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!!

Here's to an exciting 2009, we can't wait!

New year's Eve Tim and I went to town and bought lots of delicious M&S food to eat in the evening and pigged out infront of the TV watching movies! Was heavenly. I love chilling out on New Year, plus it was so cold outside that it felt wondeful to be snuggly warm infront of our fire in our beautiful house. We sat for a while and admired all our hard work from 2008, this time last year we were sat in the tiny study room as we only had that and our bedroom partly finished. This year the whole house is almost totally finished, floor and all (except kitchen and dining room) - yes that's right, our bathroom is pretty much finished! I will take some photos and put them on tonight! It looks stunning, it the perfect tranquil haven just like I have always wanted, it could be a show room bathroom or a posh hotel bathroom!!!

Tuesday night we had a fab time at Laura and David's with Fi and Ad. Baby Will was as cute as ever, he is now 9 months old and is such a good boy. I hope our baby is as well behaved as Will, he sat and giggled and played with his toys on his mat until his bedtime and went to sleep really well. Laura and David have given us lots of tips and advice, and Laura had also saved all the pregnancy magazines she had bought when she was pregnant, so now I have a huge stash of magazines to read through. Not sure how I will ever get any work done at this rate! We also had fun on their Wii playing tennis (which I was SO good at!!!) and Tim played golf too. I want one now but not sure I would play it enough to justify buying one.. plus have you seen the costs of buggies and car seats???!!!

Yesterday I had a lovely day with my friend katie and her daughter Phoebe, they cam eup from Leam to visit us. We chatted non stop about school and life, was great!!!! And we had a yummy pub lunch. Oscar and Einstein were a little naughty though... think some training is in order before baby Smith arrives... hm.

Well I will go and take some photos of our bathroom and post them in a bit, then I really should do some school work. I am the naughtiest I have EVER been and have left everything till the last minute. Right now Tim thinks I am typing away at my planning and instead I have written a load oa twaddle on my blog! oops!!!
