    that post of Snaggles reminded me of the time my father in law bought a hose pipe....he then took it back to complain because he said when he used it it had leaks everywhere...:rotfl:

    It was a sprinkler hose pipe....:rotfl:

    That might be an idea, all the photos she has are really old school ones. Could take photos at the party and stick them in the frame! Thanks Sammy :)

    We got my nan a really beautiful framed photograph of an old picture of her and her hubby (who died when I was little) and a yellow rose bush because yellow roses mean everlasting love.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Sorry Gemmzie-that's bad taste...My Nan was dead hairy.

    Whoops. Bunny's bad sense of humour seems to have killed the thread...
