almost ready to go

mia is officially a uk citizen now! she has her british passport at last so we can come home whenever we want, well sort of. if it was up to toby and there were no complications, we'd be on a plane by the end of the month. i am more relaxed about things and am happy to wait til july. we've contacted various housing associations back in the toon and and they are sending application packs to my mum who is forwarding them to us. looking more and more likely we will be in a ground floor flat in north shields or somewhere similar. no doubt the housing associations will have long waiting lists so we might be lucky, though the fact we have a toddler (not a baby any more....) might work in our favour. got lots of estate agent website details too from my mum and are keeping an eye on them. toby is going to ring an export company tomorrow and order some tea chests so we can start packing them with things we won't need over next few months. having a lazy sunday, might head to milford reserve this afternoon for a free jazz & beats concert next to the beach. depends on the weather really, it's looking good at the moment but i think showers are forecast. toby is away out doing shopping and mia is napping. no more photos today unless we take some this afternoon. love to all.
