I'm fine now thank you for asking, know what you mean about not being able to chat all day in here, when you're busy & posting comps it's hard to keep up with everything, i apologised the other day in here for it

you are a great mum to your DD, it's a full time job sorting & looking out for the family, you do a great job with them, how's the garden getting on, the piccies last time looked great , has any more been done

Aw bless you, what a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much, your a little sweetie xx

Not much more done on the garden yet, the rain keeps starting so can't do much. Had some lettuces in but they have gone, don't know if cats have nicked them or foxes Don't think it can be kids as nothing else was touched. Will let you know when more done, promise hun. Need to buy some more bark & slate for the other rockery so will see what other plants I can get then as well.

This brought me to tears, it's the lollypop lady who patrols near DD's school. She went 80 lasr Friday & when the new school is built looks like she'll be out a job which is so sad

happy birthday iris , she is one special lady reading that, thanks pms for posting it :A

Her kindness and commitment is a beacon to us all.
In a world often ruled by money – or worries over the lack of it – it is these simple human gestures that make all the difference to people’s quality of life.

how very true :T

bet it'll be the foxes pms they are cheeky ones, when we had our allotment they used to pinch & pull up loads of plants, got mad with them at first but once got used to them it was funny, we then put posts round the plants with twine & old cd's in between & it seemed to stop them nosing in & taking them

Aw bless, Iris sounds like a lovely lady. Happy birthday from me too Iris even though I don't know you.
Our lollypop man is only just gone 20 and he also helps in dd's nursery, he's studying childcare too.

we don't have any lollypop people round here any more wingobins :sad: the kids just dash across the road, was lovely reading that link from pms, but sad that she'll be out of a job, your lollypop man sounds lovely

Yeah the last lady retired but she's a friend of mine so still see her. The lad who has taken over her job only looks really young and some of the older kids tease him saying he looks like a school kid, but he just ignores them & does a great job. The younger ones think he's great.

Hi all.
I've not been in much for a while, but feel really stressed tonight so I've come in for a chill.

pms that was lovely to read about the lollypop lady. My mum was one but had to give up last year after her fall, her arm will never have full use. She was 80 on the 7th July. I bought her a nintendo ds lite and brain train academy for her birthday - it's what she asked for. :rotfl: I wish I was that active now never mind when I'm 80.
