    Thanks for the kind words. Still in shock, looking to go asap, who knows what the future holds so I'm going to err on the side of caution.
    Just terribly sad.

    Gran that is hard news to take. I do hope you can help put support in place xx

    Softstuff :j:j:j:j:j so happy for you xx

    I havent been around much as I have been struggling with things also my laptop and sewing machine both broke :eek: I have borrowed Ds's lappy for now but had to buy a new sewing machine or the family wouldnt have known what to do with themselves :rotfl: My Mum gave me a donation (so no Xmas for ginny :p) I can do without most things but would go crazy stuck here with neither of my lifelines.

    Hugs to all especially Mrs LW with her new dog walking fun xx

    After a pm from a friend here I realised I hadnt reported the arrival of my new grand-daughter Bethany. She is 3 weeks old already. I was summoned to Dd's at 2.30 am on the Sunday and her contractions were 5 minutes apart, by the time she had struggled into clothes they were 2 minutes apart and I told her OH to drive fast.

    As I waved them off in his 4 seater sports car I had visions of her delivering on the pavement on the way. However they got to the hospital, Oh dropped her off and parked the car - 4 minutes after they got there she was born :eek: and daddy missed it!

    Dgs woke up at 4 am wandered into Mummy and Daddys room, found me there said 'Oh' climbed in bed and went back to sleep :rotfl:

    Anyway all is well, baby is the most laid back child ever and is as cute as a button. Dgs is totally unfazed by it all but we did slowly introduce the concept that me and hubby would be cuddling her - at first he told grandad to 'put it in its pram' :p

    Otherwise still scrimping and scraping, yellow stickering and jam making. Waiting for the DWP's decision on hubbys PIP and if we will keep the car :mad: Oh well what can you do but keep on keeping on.

  • Welcome to the world baby Bethany, may you be loved and safe all the days of your life and may there be warmth, friendship, fun and family in every second of every day for you, so pleased for you Ginny xxx.
  • Welcome baby Bethany, I think I may have already asked you to give a cuddle from me if so please give her another one from me. I am sure you have been very busy grandma Ginny.

  • Congrats Ginny, welcome to baby Bethany. May she have all the love, luck and good fortune anyone could wish for.

    We've had a fantastic day here, when I came home from work I took a card bound for Australia to the post office on my bike, it seemed such a shame to waste the good weather. It was 20 degrees when I came out of work, just fabulous for the end of September.

    Some of the tomatoes are beginning to ripen, don't know what I did wrong but there are a lot of green ones!

    Relaxing this evening, the Hairy Bikers are on, always entertaining and the scenery in this programme is stunning.

    Camelot Yes, the weather's been gorgeous, hasn't it! Two Scottish friends of mine are off on a coach trip today to see the autumn colours :)

    elona Not sure if you meant to type that? I don't think you can be Ginny's Mum? It's certainly a beautiful name x
