Thank you all for your kind words on Emily's first birthday. I cannot believe it has been a year but then on the other hand it often feels like a lifetime ago.
We got a teddy bear floral arrangement made for Emily and we took a balloon down the night before so that it was there for the morning. We then went back down to see her at 5.15 so that we were there for 5.29pm - the time she was thrust into the world! There have been a lot of tears over the last few days both from Colin and I but not because we miss her more on her birthday - we miss her every day, we have just been so touched that so many people have remembered her and made an effort to visit her, bring her flowers or a gift, send a txt/email or leave a message on a board. It means a lot that she still has an impact on the world.

Well . . . been a while eh?? At Lisa's request I thought I'd update my blog a bit! What's new with me?? ha ha - lots actually!
The nursery plans are going well - think I have FINALLY got my business plan the way I want it after months of adding stuff, changing stuff and taking stuff away! The plans are to accomodate 50 2-5 year olds with a ratio of 1:5 (higher than recommencded so will appeal to parents). The baby room will open a year after the main room and will have 9 places for under 2's.
The architect has given me the final drawings for what he thinks needs done to the building so now I am in the middle of getting quotes for all the work needing done. The quotes need to be passed to the church (who own the building) and they will tell me whether or not they can afford to carry out the work - if they can't, I need to look elsewhere which will delay the plans big style!
I handed in my registration forms for the care commission the other day (they inspect all care services in Scotland and can make or break you) so that was scary - if they refuse to register me then I can't operate so they have a lot of power over my life and future right now!
The other development would be my irrational broodiness! I've never been the broody kind - yeah I've always wanted children but I have never felt the "longing" I hear so many speak of . . until now. oh dear, I have somehow lost my cool and "not bovvered" attitude and become a broody maternal wimp. So we have been chatting about it and my wonderful dh thinks he is ready to try. I am absolutely terrified for soooo many reasons but I need to trust God and step out in faith a bit. So I've ordered some ovulations tests and pregnancy tests from Ebay, booked my smear test in (sorry!) to get that out of the way and prayed lots! We'll see what the next four weeks or so bring!
We have Emily's birthday and angel day coming up in October and I've taken some time off work. I think I'll be a bit of a mess to be honest so will probably take a wee ivillage break too - can't support others when you feel like S**t yourself can you? We'll see how I am on the run-up.
Well I think that's everything! Can't be bothered spell-checking i'm afraid so apologies for any typos!
Hugs and love to all.

Oh I am so proud of ourselves! lol. Our wee veggie patch is thriving and we have just picked out first cucumbers and lettuces and they actually taste normal! Shocker!
We also have Aubergine, radish, beetroot, rhubarb (i think), carrots, peppers, strawberries and even a canteloupe melon plant! Very curious to see if this amounts to anything! We also have two apple trees (one cooking apples, one normal apples), a plum tree and a pear tree! Sounds like our garden is acres but it's not.
So I figure some pigs and chickens are next eh?? lol The good life here we come!
. . . . off to buy some wellies!!
