I have just had the shock of my life, was leaving my mums and as I crossed the road there was a little girl about 2 in pj's & wellies in the middle of the road with a bus coming round the corner, managed to get to her in time. Took her into my mums house to call the police (only people I could think of to call). She couldn't tell us her name but realised a new family had moved in not long ago that had children so I went up to their house, front door was wide open dad hadn't even realised she was gone.

omg that has truely given me goose bumps!
You really were her guardian angel,well done you! :A

Just had an update from OH reference FIL, now saying its either a stroke or a bad head injury!! wish they would make up their bloody minds. Waiting for a Neuro (wotsit) bloke/woman to come and see him, normal doctor has checked his brain scan and said something not right but doesn't want to say what exactly until he's been seen by the big man!! OH is in bits wants to take his dad home, already talking about moving his bed into the front room and chucking out one of the sofas, i have tried to tell him this won't work as apart from no room, because he can't stand or even use a zimmer frame because his arm isn't working properly we won't be doing him any favours and he really needs to get professional help. Another phone call whilst typing this and they are now saying he might have to be transferred to Frenchhay hospital in Bristol which has the brain surgery specialists. OH breaking his heart as his mum died from a brain injury and was also treated in Bristol this was when he was 15 yrs old, really wish i could be at home but luckily only a couple more days to go and i will be with him.

I am so sorry for you and OH that is bad news. Hopefully FIL will make a good recovery. I will pray for him. :A

Talking of the "good old days" I remember swapping a WWII gas mask for an air rifle in primary 7. Used to practice hitting cans on the wall between us and a neighbour, until one day when I shot my neighbour in the A**! Didn't get into trouble but the air rifle was given to my brother as a punishment!
