We`ve decided to sell our house!

I`ve finally done it! After talking about selling our house and moving away for about a year, I`ve finally gone and done it. The deciding moment came last week, when we had broken bottles chucked in our front garden, plus mounds of other litter. The kids in the street are getting cheekier and cheekier, and when (unusually for me) I confronted one nine year old for throwing litter in my garden - while I was standing there - I was served up with a torrent of foul mouthed abuse from his mother! So, anyway, I`ve gone and done it now. I contacted the estate agents, had the valuation (disappointing) and received the final details for signing today. The photographs were a bit of a disappointment to. The estate agent hadnt closed the front gate before snapping the front view of the house - plus, I dont think she`s taken it from the best angle. Still - its done now. I`m going to hand the papers in today and see how it goes. I think some mega- offloading of our excess possessions is in order. My goodness - we`ve accumulated some rubbish.
Anyway, I`ll keep you posted on how it goes.

Palate probelms.........................

Not been keeping up this blog too well I`m afraid, but you know how it goes?
Yeah. Life happens! Well wots been happing? Firstly, Little Dolly has had some Xrays to see how her palate is doing. Its looking pretty likely that she`s going to have to ahve another operation on her palate as she still has virtually no speech.
Trouble is, it seems its very complicated. Dolly`s palate is apparently static, hence her lack of speech at nearly six years of age. BUT here`s the dilemma. If they move the palate back too much in order too facilitiate speech, they`re likely to block off her air supply. Not good as you can imagine. So, I`ll have to leave it in the hands of those who seem to know what they`re doing. Lets hope they do though!
