    Good Luck with moving Flutterby, hope it goes well and you enjoy your new home.

    DD just in from work with some bargains (works in a toiletry/candle shop). One of the girls she works with said she thought she would buy some of these large candles as she seemed to be a 'bargainy type of person'!! I have taught her well.
  • Congratulations, julie and family. Welcome to the newest member of OS:)

  • Coming out of lurkdom to say Congratulations to JG and family on the safe arrival of Baby Roo aka Eliza Georgiana.

    That's the way to do it!

    May she bring you as much joy as the (not so little now) Ps have brought me.

    Wonderful news JG:T and welcome to the world Eliza Georgiana a gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl. I was really hoping you would have a girl as I know you already have DS. I have one of both with nearly the same age gap. They are 20 and 28 and still get on well.
    Thank-you to everyone for their good wishes for my mum, she is not going to get any better so it is just a question of time.
    FB good luck with the move hope that new man is helping you.
    RosyHope the viewing goes well.
    LW Hope you find some relief for your pain. Having children is a very personal choice and no -one has any right to accuse anyone of being selfish. Too many children nowadays have awful lives because of their selfish parents who can't be bothered to provide them with their basic needs. One of my sisters is like you, she chose not to have children. she has 3 Maine Coon furry babies and loves all animals.

    With all the excitement about Roo's arrival I forgot to say that the Dr has just doubled my diuretics again, she said there is nothing that they can do about the water retention apart from that, :( she won't give me anything stronger than tramadol and can't put me on anti inflammatory drugs because I have asthma and copd, so I just have to live with it.
    LW Having babies is personal to everyone and if you choose not to have a child it is your choice and nobody else's business x
