I totally agree with you Ann, we still worry about our eldest who doesn't live with us, always checking she's eating and has money etc. Also, before I met Mr Niddy..... I went out drinking with the girls and decided to stay at a girlfriends and went home in the morning. My mum had phoned me and was worrying as I didn't answer the phone lol, think I was at least 27 !!
My mum was like that with me!
She hated me wearing black - said it made me look like a beatnik (you probably don't know what that is!). I knew she thought I had grown up when she bought me a black jumper for Christmas - only thing was, I was 42 by that time!"What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -

Whats your news?
Hi Mrs Niddy,
It is that superman (aka your other half!) now thinks that a credit card I had which looked enforceable is now unenforceable, based on the fact that they sent a lot of additional information, which should have strengthened their case but weakened it instead! That's my interpretation, anyway!
And, of course, we had a virtual party on here last night, complete with champagne. The good news is that it was free - and no hangover this morning!
Sorry about the delay in replying - my son rang and I have just been hearing the latest about my grand-daughter, who is 9 months old today!"What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -
