LID!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out from the Royal Mail website yesterday that I can only track our papers until they leave the UK, no overseas tracking!! So I decided to email BLAS just before going to bed, hoping they would have our LID. No email from them this morning, I was quite disappointed, but resigned to the fact that we would have to wait a few more weeks before finding out. Then I remembered that people recommend checking your Junk Folder to see if anything has come from BLAS. And guess what?????? There was an email giving us our service number AND our Logged In Date!!!!!! I was shaking and crying just seeing we had an email from them, but when I read the date of our LID it got worse!!!!! How can that be you wonder??? Its the 16th August 2007 - three years to the day from our first meeting with Little Prince!!!! I have been estimating that is our LID (we were DTC 10th Aug) but NEEDED to know for sure, and I was convinced it wouldn't really be that date. It couldn't be could it? That would just be too big a coincidence wouldn't it?? Well fate stepped in and our LID is a very important and meaningful date for our family and I'm going to walk round with a silly grin on my face for days now :-)
