    Grrrrrr I am really really really annoyed! I have DD breaking into tears all day, I am tired and fed up and stayed away from home for ages and finally come home to find virtually nothing shifted!! Just the few boxes he packed and some clothes. I don't even know where the hell he is! The house is empty and I am surrounded by his crap and I can't even get any housework done. I am absolutely livid. The tv's haven't been switched over, his computer is still plugged in, what the hell has he been doing all day?

    Moggs shove it all on the pavement and lock the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Queenie - thanks for your thoughts re garden. No, not too sore today but I did take it easy! Hope to do a bit more tomorrow

    Moggins - thinking of you today and just read your latest. Get the b@@@@@ out of there. Put his stuff in the street!

    Crazychick - aren't hangovers awful but we do go back and do it again! We should learn from it shouldn't we.

    Smoky - just keep in there and don't let him do too much.

    Math - wondered where you were as not been able to keep up to much. Glad you are enjoying your break.

    Johanne - eek! GB had a little mouse who used to go to the bird nuts but when he came inside I drew the line. A hamster is one thing, a field mouse another! I am afraid I had to take drastic action. I bought a plastic run through thing with poison stuff in it (very drastic) but no problem since.

    Mean-Marie - what do you mean mid-40s? Mid 50's and it is scary!! However compensated by being a Granny!

    Blairweech - you are just going through the transition. Not having been there not fully up to speed with emotions. But probably right.

    Kyle - spoke to DD about what she calls sleep training and your problems. They have done it with both but at a much younger age but then did have to do it again around the 12-18 month stage.

    Had a lovely day today. Had lots of time with DD and DGs's and they are coming here after 3 sleeps. Plenty time in garden playing hide and seek etc plus went to local garden centre. SIL on a huge day long stag - DD slightly worried! Centre of Edinburgh can be a bit scary. However, he is staying elsewhere tonight so hopes he behaves!

    DGs3 had a huge rummage around in Mummy's tummy this afternoon when we had coffee post Garden Centre. Had a good feel of the kicks which was lovely. He was doing the bladder press for about an hour today!! You know what I mean!!!

    Happy birthday to those celebrating and welcome to new friends.

    Hope everyone else all OK.

    Love and hugs

    GB (very tired GB!!!)

    Obviously a few new posts while I was tip tapping on keyboard.

    Hope your blankie works Twink! Kyle seems to think it helped a wee bit last night. Probably better to let the cold get over the worst before insisting on the sleep training. Can still jump on the train to Aberdeen if needed (or is it better Inverness?). Do you know that when I was about 10 parents brought me down from Thurso in car and put me on train to Edinburgh from Inverness to visit my aunt and cousins? I got into the engine and the guard looked after me all the way down!!! You just can't do that now!

    Love

    Twink - yes, very much awaited. Just love the two we have and Finlay very much part of the family already! I think I am going to have a lovely summer when he arrives late June, early July. Can't wait!

    Never thought being a Granny and Grandad could bring so much joy! (I still get concerned about DD when she gets too tired, as I know you do about Kyle. Mums are Mums for life!!!!!!!!!). Plus you have the added worry about your son overseas.

    GB xx
