Sometimes life works out

What has deserving got to do with anything? Plenty of unlucky people don't get even what's reasonable, never mind what they deserve for hard work.

Enjoy your good luck, absent! Oh, and be proud of your organisational skills too.

Pleased for you

Give it up absent why dont you deserve it! You Have worked hard to bring this all together enjoy the pleasure of being with your family. Now you justneed the cats and the furniture to arrive and all will be perfec
t.

So glad everything is falling into place for you. When will your furniture arrive? Soon, I hope and then you can be properly settled.

Delighted for you absent. Knock that 'non-deserving' bit on the head.

Sounds just right absent - enjoy

That sounds absolutely ideal, and as for deserving it.........you've worked very hard to get there and it's fantastic for all of you!

Of course you deserve it! It sounds ideal and I am very envious of you being so close to the grandchildren, mine are 3 hours away. But right now I have a small bundle of fluff (our new retreiver puppy) asleep across my foot, so all feels pretty right with my world too.

Don't deserve it! Are you mad, woman?? Nobody deserves it more. You have taken a huge leap in the dark and gone, literally, half- way round the world to be helpful to your family. It took a lot of courage for you both and I am so glad that it has worked out well (I won't say 'I told you so....' but....). [sun]
