    Hiya,
    No, the coke isn't tracking yet on Q. If I don't see anything over the weekend, I'll email 'em on Sunday. My £6 T new shop is there though. :T

    A new thread and already 20 pages - is there a big glitch on, not shopped properly in over a week so no hope of ever catching up.

    my week was dreadful so I need virtual hugs if anyone has spares :)

    Eldest child has worked frantically for weeks for interviews for a new work placement - 2 days notice to do a presentation, group interview and then a trip to London. Then she got an email from her boss, all new work placements canceled - she is devastated. It would have meant an extra £4 grand a year and they could have started saving to get married and a house deposit :(

    Eldest son went off on his tour on Thursday, 6 months without leave, very miserable to see him go but at least he seems to have good wi fi so we have skyped. Counting the days already.


    Worst of all my Dad went into hospital for a weeks investigation, he looked so much better this week, fully awake, eye contact, listening, taking notice and taking part in conversations onWednesday and Thursday. But On Sunday morning he had his porridge and pills and then his breathing changed and he just slipped away before any of us could reach the hospital. So we have a funeral to go to on Tuesday.

    Anyway I am trying to regain something like normality, eldest daughter was home for a few days, youngest son home this weekend so at least we have not been on our own.

    Sleep seems to the hardest thing to tackle at the moment.

    next week will be better I hope.

    My mother should have a government health warning stamped on her. She makes a point of introducing herself to anyone she meets , the bigger audience the better.

    hardly incognito :cool:
    Think it must be a Scottish thing nanababe. Both my parents will talk to anyone, anywhere and these days it is mostly always about their amazing grandkids (who obviously take after me in many, many ways!!:p).

    I'm sure I used to do it too before I moved south of Watford and got Englified. Down here if you say good morning to anyone whilst out walking the dog or sitting on a train, you get the strangest looks.:huh:

    Having said all that though, it might just be an OAP thing and everything they do just embarrasses us youngsters..:D:D
