Today we should be going to a park to join some friends for a big picnic, on their last day before they move to Mull :eek: the lady is Scottish and has relatives there, but has lived in London for years and the partner has always lived here, and they have two young girls, so it is all a bit drastic they are very excited though, they're moving to Balamory (Tobermory) and will be "the only architects on the island" I believe

I missed this post earlier! Bruno, I hope they love it there. They probably will be the only architects on the island (if they are intending to practise), I think most local work is done by Shona C in Benderloch. But there's plenty of house-building work going on, there's a waiting list for builders I believe, so they should develop a thriving business. I'm presuming the girls are below school age, otherwise they'd have moved before term started mid-August; the may find the locals a bit tired of the "Balamory" references by now!

One recommendation (other than the local whisky) - advise them next Spring to go and view the Sea Eagle chicks at the viewing point down the side of Loch Frisa. The parents are massive birds, fantastic to see in flight.

I used to work in Oban, and regularly had to go to our sub-office on Mull!

Well i wouldn't call my baby it...

But i have a cool baby names book (that i got with a magazine) and it had storm in. It also had all the the charactor names from many tv shows and movies, inc Lord of the Rings...

My brother escaped being 'Storm' he got called 'Ethan'

Felix is a cat name :rotfl:

I LOVE the name Felix but OH says it's a cat name I keep saying when we get a dog I'm gonna call it Felix just to annoy him

Sugar - there is someone who has posted on here that's OH had a reversal but I can't for the life of me remember who I remember them saying it was a very long waiting list to have it done on the nhs but I assume your BIL is in the US so not affected?

I've no idea how long ago BIL was snipped, I try not to think about his manly parts *cringe* His younger son from his liaison with a stripper (I know) is 8 or 9 though.

She was asking about IVF as well, is that an option in their case and what's the procedure? Sorry to be asking random questions, she and I had a FB chat yesterday and I love to find things out.

Oh you reminded me Tigs, I went past where you get the boat to Tobamory once... It was a heck of a journey! lol

Sami_Bee

Ooh Tigs, the beach at Oban was lovely when I went there as a child, it was only only good thing on a very crappy holiday to scotland.

Morning all..

I think it's JAM's Charlotte who is a reversal baby

Today is just more washing, utilising my mum's tumble dryer while I go check on their house (they're away for a week now - longest I haven't seen them in years! ), and shopping. OH is napping on the sofa and Rhys keeps crawling over, standing up, coughing in his face ("ahem, give me attention" stylee) then dropping back to the floor when OH opens his eyes.. OH thinks I set Rhys up to do it - I sooo did not!

SS, the med is sodium bicarb which I understand to be basically baking powder solution to neutralise Rhys' blood a bit more than his kidneys are capable of doing by themselves He'll have been slowly weaning himself off it as he's getting bigger too. We may need to restart it depending on the results of future blood tests.. may just be a blip or may be the start of the downward spiral to the big T (transplant :cool:) but time will tell

Hope everyone has a nice day

:rotfl::rotfl: Gotta love the cheeky trickster!

also now you've said it I think it is JAM's Charlotte thats the baby I'm thinking of - Mrs Memory :cool:

SugarSpun

What a wonderful child he is, elle. I keep telling people about how well he's doing - my friend I told you about who had a 32-week baby keeps asking for updates too :cool:

My_Fathers_Daughter

Ah, Elle beat me to it. Charlotte is a reversal baby, her daddy is older than your BIL, but her mummy is surely younger than your SIL (i think she is about my age LOL)
