    So glad to read your trip was worth the effort, Lucky :D - although we know who took the strain of keeping everyone organised (stye is usually caused by stress - hopefully it will ease quickly now you're back home ;)).

    Please don't mention the C word yet :( - can't think of anything more depressing while we're still enjoying summer sunshine!

  • I'm visiting my mother in Canada and have been reading your diaries each night before I go to bed, I started the old one last week and am all caught up now.

    You have inspired me to do so much better than I have been doing, I'm looking forward to coming home next week and taking control of my life. I'm not sure how you have the energy to keep going like you do, I am in awe!!!

    Ok, C word is banned for now!!

    P word is more of the moment anyway, the boys have now turned their attention to wanting a puppy :eek:.

    Stye has burst but it still itchy. Think you are right that it was stress related as although I enjoyed our trip, I very much felt 'in charge' and pressured to get us to places etc Xx

    Glad you had such a fabulous time in London. Some wonderful memories made :) It's scary isn't it when you're the one "in charge" in unfamiliar places. I bet, like me, you've forgotten what it's like for OH to be the one taking the lead.

    The C word is definitely banned :) Although it's that dark here at the moment it feels like December. Enjoy the last few days of the school holidays xx

    I'm originally from the USA, but my family are all Canadian. My mom moved back up here about 15 years ago to be closer to everyone. She lives in the Okanagan, which is a stunning part of BC. My husband has health problems and won't pass the physical to live in Canada, otherwise we would move here to be closer to my mom. She's 81 now and could really use some help. If she didn't pay for my plane ticket, I probably wouldn't be able to come to see her at all. :(

    I've been in Lincs. for 20 years now, and aside from missing my mother, I love it. My husband is from Yorkshire and both kids were born in Lincolnshire. We'd like to move back to Yorkshire in 5-10 years. My husband's family are from Seahouses. :)

    Sorry, that was a lot more information than you asked for! :o

    Wow! What breed is he? Is he going to be only a pet or will he help with Mr Lucky as well?
