    Hey Granny, I just popped in for a quick catch up and it's taken me almost an hour! For someone so poorly you can't half write a lot :D!

    Massive congratulations on becoming Grannyx3, I'm so excited for you :T. I just can't wait to be a grandma, although my two are a bit too young to be reproducing yet. Hope they don't leave it too long though.

    Speaking of not leaving things too long, once you are better it's time to have a loooong talk with your OH. Well, when I say 'with' him, I think you need to talk and he needs to listen. None of us are getting any younger and life is just too short to let other people bring us down. Time for him to hear some home truths about respect I think.

    You take care of yourself x

    What lovely news, a little MSE to add to the family! Now that is worth a smile.

    Also loved the kitten snooze picture. Exactly as I feel currently.

    And what good news on the car!

    Sadly I do agree you need to tell OH how his grumpy tone affects you. Ad perhaps a recording is good, to replay after he has spoken like that, and see what he has to say. May be what he needs? Good luck with that one, it is an ongoing topic of conversation in our house, we both accuse each other of this behaviour periodically if you find the magic means of sorting it let me know!
