    Im going to see Depeche Mode on Monday (for the second time in 6 months).

    I got a five quid megatrain ticket from Glasgow to Birmingham which is where Im going to see them, that made me very happy indeed, bargain.

    I once saw the same band twice in one night... :rotfl:
  • Well life has been pretty tough at times over the last few years. I had to give up the job I loved to stay at home full time to care for my son who has serious health problems. I am still a carer but have now got 2 part time jobs that I am able to fit around my son (just).

    So I guess I value things more these days. I have a husband who loves me, friends and family around and we have a home of our own. We dont have loads of money but we get by. My sons health still isnt great and I have no idea what the future holds for him but we take each day as it comes.

    So yes I am happy. Oh and I am in my early 40s!

    I have a lot to be thankful for; children who are doing well and are happy, a happy loving marriage after 32 years, a job I love, a DH who is happy in his job, an extended family who are well and happy, and connected to us all. A Mil who is the last of the grandparents still with us, and who is active in the lives of her grandchildren, and loved by them all.

    This is a BIG happy: My lovely daughter has just rung to tell us we have a new granddaughter :). She only went into hospital at 4 ish, so we didn't expect to hear anything until tomorrow :T
    Mum and baby are both very well, and big sister (2) has been a little angel and is fast asleep upstairs :A

  • Congratulations, Alikay! That was quick.
