Commie - NZ?!!! Nice one! Curious, why?

because i can
life and work in my hometown was just boring - living somewhere else and meet new people is much more exiting.
oh, and they pay me much better here and have lower taxes....

Herrbert, your suggestions are always need. Either post them and pm me or pm me!
We don't want to run around a lot, that's my friend's only condition. We will obviously hit Madrid and Barcelona, at leasssssst 4 days each. We wanna feel the city
The rest, we don't quite know yet. I was thinking of heading south and maybe hitting Morocco for a day! Anything about that?
xoxo

[herrbert]

...and great scenery! Welcome to my side of the world! (well, at the moment anyway ;D).

crystal - can you share if the rucksack is pink or blue yet?

[jennifer]

We wanna know!

[crystal]

Sorry guys - I've been busy busy busy. The last 3 weeks of term and OFSTED (government inspectors of schools in UK) have decided to inspect us.

We have a BLUE rucksack!!!!!
A really exhibitionist the sonograph had no problem pick out the relavent bits on the ultrasound. Flashing them about for all to see!
I can't believe how big he got in a few weeks and he has started to look like a baby now and not a wierd peanut that he was in the first scan. Everything is where it should be and we are looking very healthy.

Only 18wks to go (argh what am I doing???)

[WillTravel]

Wow, Crystal. That is exciting. It sounds like you and the baby are doing great.

Sorry - I've been absent due to a little monkey that will be 2 in September. He keeps me SO busy, he's a super active, into everything kid! I'm off for the summer as we are in between daycare and after a long day chasing after Morgan, I'm DONE at night! LOL

Congrats on your soon to be son - you'll love having a boy. I was nervous as I thought I was a girl sort of mom but now I'd love to have a second boy!

David's back!

just noticed this. guess i haven't been around as much lately. looking at other things, i guess.

also, my Mom has some new medical issues.

nice to know i'm missed.

[MuvverRussia]

Yeah, I haven't been on here much recently either. At the moment I'm working my ass off (12-14 hr days are the norm) at a pretty big Swiss investment bank (based between London and Zurich currently), so I guess you could say I'm pretty busy.

[madamtrashheap]

And happy birthday for the 11th Muvver! ;D

crystal, what great news! As long as he hasn't started booting like you're a football then it's all good!

Kim! Great to "see" you, but can't work out where all that time went that Morgan is almost 2! Any more pics to post of the little monkey would be great when you get a chance.

[me]

yes, happy birthday from me, too, MuvverRussia!

Swiss investment bank? nice.

had heard that Swiss banks had lost some luster after the Eurozone went to third stage EMU in '99, and some Eurozone states adopted strict Swiss style banking secrecy laws.

but, with Sarko's calls for the ECB to be less independent, will capital migrate back to Switzerland?
