    Ive been up to Alnwick Gardens.

    Ooh - I'm in your part of the world next week - and I fancy those gardens...what are they like for children? Specifically very bouncy boys..:D

    Right DS refusing to go get deponged, but I guess a later night won't harm tonight.

    Just sorting dinner so can do the micro ping thing once DH home.

    Gordon is still absent but I've been joined by Stella A, and we're getting acquainted over some paperwork....:wink:


    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Had text from OH's dd, it seems gs has chickenpox, he was ok yesterday....they are worried about how this might effect the 14 week old baby.

    Hugs to all

    no more than it will effect anyone else.. DD3 had CPox at 15 weeks and DD5 was 17 weeks.. they were both premature too.. and they had about 5 spots each and were absolutely fine.. it is only dangerous if caught in utero when it goes haywire after birth.. definitely worrying over nothing!!

    serena. Mum is doing ok although not talking much now. Not smoking properly now either but still wants one.

    Mum on a mission. They do have activities for children during the holidays. Also by the fountain they have little tractors that the kids love riding round on and getting splashed. Here is the web site. https://www.alnwickgarden.com

    :hello: Hi everyone
    thank you all for you love and good wishes - I promise I was not doing anything I shouldnt have - the staff were more concerned than I was - The pain came back overnight last night so I have stayed here today and will go home tomorrow if I have a better night. there is no point going home in pain! I have had xray etc today and they are fairly sure its muscular/skeletal but dont know what has triggered it. I am more comfortable but then I am full of pain relief:rotfl:

    had a quick skim.........
    mummyof5 and mumofjusttwo belated Happy Birthdayxxxxxxx :bdaycake::bdaycake:

    oh Triker you silly moo - now thats going to be even more expensive to sort (((hugs)))
    FFP well done on the boys room - hope you havent 'paid' for it today - have an easy weekend and rest up xxx
    kazw oh what a shame for GS - dont know about baby but it would be over and done with if baby had it now! I expect Hv will help/or phoning NHS24?
    piggers I thought my diary was bad for the next wee while - I dont fancy yours much!!!
    sorry to see there is no sign of Diva or LadyL - if anyone is in touch please pass on my best wishes
