I forgot to tell you about Riley 20 month old grandson yesterday. He decided to shove some raisins up his nose :eek: Dawn saw one sticking out so,she pulled it out and as he sounded bunged up she shone a torch up his nostril lol and saw there was another one there. His dad took him to hospital a few hours later as he hadn t sneezed it our or anything.
They thought they may have had to operate as he wasn t co operating but after the 3rd attempt they managed to get it out luckily. He was all wrapped up and 3 people to hold him down. Poor little chap must have been terrified. He s really strong , its quite amazing Hope he s learned his lesson.0 -
Loving your posts about Norwich's great win hun, I know that Mr Car Boot Caf! and a lot more people from home will be very pleased at that result. They have had quite a few big wins this season haven't they? Seem to play better against the big teams :j
The under 18's have been doing so well since January. Yes, looking at the results for them they have 2 nasty defeats in that time, but for these 2 games the usual lads weren't playing as the matches were only days away from the FA cup games, which, of course, they did win! Apart from those nasty 2, the only other defeat since January has been a 1-0 loss.I often take my son to the under 18's games, which are usually held at their training ground and free to attend or very cheap at Carrow Road, as we can't afford to follow the first team apart from going out to watch on a big screen somewhere.
3Dogs, I'm glad you know people who will be happy at Mondays result. :T:T:T:T:T Please cheer on the mino's on Monday 13th, the game is live on ITV4.0 -

Sorry, I know I'm stupid. But neither m'dear wife nor I never think about or mentions the one that died but we both just concentrate on the ones that are living.

Such a funny tale to share with you tonight.
After weeks of looking in my local Mr T I finally located the 1p chocs tonight. Helpfully Mr T had put them all on a table together at the front of the store. Not being greedy I only took a couple of boxes and mixed them in with my ordinary shopping.
OH was delighted when I returned home with them and decided he would go down himself and get another couple of boxes, which he did. However just as he was picking them up from the table a voice shouted "oi where you going with them, there not for sale":eek:
Apparently in my store if you get a PP saying your shopping would have been cheaper else where you get one of the boxes as well!!!!
OH was gutted but DD and I were rolling with laughter when he came in empty handed. :rotfl::rotfl:0 -

It was the most devastating thing in the world and the grief that followed nearly broke me forever. That may sound a bit melodramatic but unless it's happened to you or your family you will never understand. Be prepared for a long road of recovery ahead with your cousin. I know you have suffered family tragedy in the past and I hope you can all pull together for your cousin.
Big hugs BSQ x
It's not melodramatic, I understand what you mean.

Really good advice. It took us 2 years and a bit of fertility help to 'make' another (I'm no spring chicken!!) and the relief we felt when he arrived safe and sound was immense. My OH and I don't talk about it but I do think about him and wonder how life would have been if he had survived. Human nature to wonder I suppose but you're right concentrate on the living and enjoy every second of them.0 -

. I gave up looking because every where was spotless!
I've also had a load of personal family problems to get through that have prevented me from getting to SADA as often as I might have and generally shopping at the nearest store to me when I feel up to it.
We as a family have had some very good news but also some devastating news as well. There are two babies due in the family, one is to DH's sister so my 1st niece or nephew, due in Nov. The other is to my cousin, this little guy isn't going to make itthe docs have given him a 1% chance of surviving birth and even if he does he may only live for a few hours. The docs suspect he has Edwards syndrome, he also has a hole in the top of his spine, a faulty valve somewhere in his skull allowing spinal/brain fluid to leak out which is forming in a mass at the base of his skull and growing quite quickly. Cousin is booked in to have a C-section in August and has been to price a plot in the graveyard for the wee guy, we were talking about grave stones and I took her to see my DH's one as she wants one that will last and not fade. It just seems so surreal that in one hand we were looking at getting him a christening gown and a matter of hours later pricing his funeral
Suffice it to say I've really lost my mojo and in the grand scheme of things it's not that important, sorry if I've upset anyone but today and the past few have been very hard. I've tried not to upset anyone by talking about it as emotions are running very high at the moment.
So hard for your family:( ((()))"Sealed Pot challenge" member No. 138

You do know its not confirmed dont you :eek:
Yep, told him to go to ss till and just leave them if not a bargain. Chances are he will still buy 3 if they have any and we don't mind trying out/testing the water. I would have went with him but our 3 year old grandchild is having a sleepover so one of us has to stay and I'm not long back. Gonna have a cup of tea now and get one ready for when he comes back......soon.0
