  • Quickly sneaking on at work because I've had a message off AJ in a panic.

    Isla Louise was born yesterday at 7.26am 6lb 10oz and is beautiful. Mum and baby both doing great and are hoping to come home this afternoon.

    Sorry but had two nights without sleep and a day full of adrenaline so no time to post, I messaged those I have on fb which is why AJ got confused ...... so delighted.

  • Also as she was born on the day the new £1 coins came out I've been this morning to the post office and got 20 of the new ones and they are all dated 2016 which apparently is a mistake and they are selling well on eBay so I went back and got another bag......do I keep them or get rid now I cannot decide.

    I'd keep hold of the 2016 ones for now - the value will go up in time. If they're still in the bag, even better :cool:

    Good afternoon Elite :wave: Quick trip to dentist this morning, in and out in 5 minutes as it was just to try wax version of the partial denture before final version next week. All OK. Actually walked over into town, picked up Boots order for the £5 points, free coffee in Greggs, walked back to car, popped into Tosco and Iceland, then home. Knee very sore but trying to maintain a little exercise after getting used to walking Emily while she was here. Home to take more painkillers lol, and doing a bit paperwork, well CoS, etc. Got 2 x Zeo in Tosco, at half price so £1 and £1.50 came off for each coupon, that's the sort of shopping I like, with a bit of profit on an item and they are the bigger 750 ml bottles too, so very good value indeed ;)
