New Dress

We received a parcel from my mum and dad today full of goodies, and one of the items was a skirt my mum had found in an op shop, it is a size 8 but she said she had to get it. I saw it and fell in love and wanted Samantha to be able to wear it but as she is only 2 and a half and tiny she would be 12 before it fitted!!! I can't wait that long so I proceeded to alter the skirt. I fold the top down and added ribbon tie straps and here is the end result...

I love it!!! And I have to say the parcel cheered me up and I enjoyed altering the skirt. I have been a bit depressed since the wedding, not a good way to be after marrying the man you love is it!! Missing my family so very much and having issues with David's mum and sister-in-law the are making me wish I wasn't here. Don't get me wrong, I want to be with my kids and David, just not in this town so close to David's mum and her "golden family", David's brother Danny his wife Kim and their soon to be two kids Jessica and baby, (baby due any day). Not really looking forward to Christmas but I have put the tree up, Samantha loves it!!!

Any way, some good news, Samantha is out of nappies and in "big girl undies"!!!!! She uses the potty and the toilet, it depends on her mood as to which she wants to use. It only took a week before she got the hang of everything and is doing great! Our little girl is growing up so very fast!!!

That dress is gorgeous P, great job! Our girl looks fab in it too.

I don't know what you can do about the family stuff; you can't change them so you have to be the one to change. Sorry love, life's hard that way. (Maybe you could move closer to where Harry lives ;D )

Hopefully, once you get the deco's up you'll feel cheerier. And perhaps an eggnog or two...

Love you all to bits. xxxoooxxx D.

Sam is so gorgeous in that outfit - well done you for being so clever in altering it! Ah, the 'golden family' syndrome - it's a real pain in the butt isn't it? I've got relatives like that but fortunately I've been able to ignore them consistently and I think they've got the message now! I realise you can't do that as yours are 'closer'. Try not too fret too much, focus on your little family, who are just wonderful by the way, and the great job you are doing of being a wife and mum (you are such a fab mum) and yes, look forward to Christmas and the joy the kids get from that. They are what is important after all (you are too, of course, but you know what I mean). Oops sorry, didn't mean to rant on there, I just sympathise with you, that's all. Definitely an egg not or two....lol XXXXX
