    Oh, you definitely should go! It's kind of in the middle of nowhere but lovely scenery & right on the river. Take a picnic if it's a nice day.

    Shelly - glad to hear your Dad's through the worst of it. I know it's horrible to have a family member on Critical Care but my experience is that they are mavellous and treat not just the person in the bed but the family as well.

    Just a quick update before I go off to bed. Haven't had chance to do any stitching tonight. We are off on holiday tomorrow afternoon so been busy getting ready. As we are going in a tent I'm not taking any cross stitch with me, I don't think the light will be good enough. I'm taking knitting instead so not completely craft free.

    Anyway this is the progress on my wedding sampler over the last 2 days, feel fairly happy with it at the moment.

    Very good news - glad he's out. Presumably they'll wake him up properly tomorrow?

    Thanks ladies.

    Mum phoned Papworth this morning at 7.30am and apparently Dad was sitting up enjoying a cup of tea! He had a very good night, aches abit from lying in the same position for hours but apart from that he's doing very well so they are moving him onto a ward later today :j

    It's also Mums 60th birthday today so I'll let you know how she liked the fairies when I get a chance to post again. We are going to visit Dad so will be a late night tonight.


    postingalwaysposting. The cat keyring is very cute. I had a kit of one once, messed up his paw and made him look like he had a club foot :o

    Ailsb. Very nice progress on the church.

    Have a nice day everyone.

  • One of my 16 pregnant friends (I have included you in that count Chicky) is having her baby at 11am. Can't wait for the photos. It's due on Monday, it's jumping out at 11am today. Guess where I am going to be after work this evening :D

  • I think it's just that we're all at the age where having a baby is appropriate.

    Personally, I'd rather eat arsenic filled pasties than have a baby :D

    I will try and post the photo they send me when he's out. I guess she'll not be moving much this evening ;)

    Yeah, someone who feels the same as I do about having a baby! Loved having cuddles with my godson, but when he started screaming, I was happy to give him back.
