    Anakat - your cribs are gorgeous and, like Mrs Moneypenny says, I'm sure a local hospital will welcome them.

    Well, the sun is blazing here and it's really warm. From what I've seen on the news, it's the same for most of the UK, so I hope you are all enjoying a bit of summer, especially with it being a bank holiday weekend.

    Oh, Shaz, I'm so sorry that you are having problems with your boys again. I can only offer a virtual hug but it comes from the heart. I'm sure they just need a bit more growing up to do, but it must seem like it's never going to happen. Just try and put yourself first, although I know that's easier said than done.

    Shaz am so sorry you are going through the mill again with the boys. Life is very difficult out there for youngsters and its not far to fall off the right path. As for the baby on the way, well thats another easy mistake to happen. I never judge(like all our friends here) as its pointless - there but for the grace of god go me and mine - all we can do is support you so you can keep helping them in what ever way you think right. If you need anything just let us know, hugs ginny xx

    Its freezing here, so Im going to bake and warm up the house then sit and get some crafting done.

    hope all are well and enjoying the extra long weekend

    Hi everyone and lots of love tucked. Well all the birthday celebrations done and dusted now. We had lifelong friends for the weekend now it is time to move on to the next decade with a spring in my step. Or it will be once we have caught up with ourselves. Thanks again for all your lovely wishes.

    Annakat Those cribs are beautiful. Please let us know if a local wants them ... I do hope so.

    Shaz I am so sorry you have more worry from the boys on your shoulders. Try and keep positive, even though I know it must be hard.

    KathyI hope the bathroom is nearing completion. any news on sellin? How is your Dbil? And I hope your Mum is managing to enjoy the lovely weather we are having.

    Ginny So glad you enjoyed your holiday and so glad DGS did too!I am sure having him close is lovely and I am so glad as I know how hard it is with DOH being poorly.

    Mrs MoneypennyIt would have been rude not too.

    F1 Hope all is well and lots of love to all the MIA'S

    I have just bought the wool for a chevron blanket for my nephews baby due in July in America so am looking forward to starting that.
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    Just a quick call in. I've been busy lately with the 'garden', stripping horrible washable wallpaper off the kitchen walls, and crocheting blankets and cushions.

    Sorry to hear your news Shaz. I hope your boys soon realise what they're doing to you and pull their socks up, so to speak. Maybe the new little one will be their turning point. Sending hundreds of hugs and just as many prayers :)

    Anakat, the cribs are beautiful. I'm sure someone near you will appreciate them.
