Thanks chums , I said to my daughter Shelley its nice to have something to cheer us all up in these gloomy times. The new little baby  girl will be born in mid-summer/late June. 

The news in the media has been so depressing that I've got that I really don't want to see it anymore. I know folk are struggling and things will be hard for many, but a new little life is so cheering to hear about. 

My grandson had a grin as big as Texas on his face when he spoke earlier this evening, he's already talking about his 'girls' and his wife Hayley looked a lot brighter today than she has for a few weeks as she's had awful morning sickness bless her. Luckily she seems to be through the worst of it now. 

I can't wait to get knitting, as I did for her Dad when he was a little lad. best Christmas present I could have had today

Thank you all for your good wishes 

JackieO xx

Aw that’s really lovely news @london_1, nothing nicer than a new baby 😍

I’m a bit broody myself as my little girl is turning a big grown up four tomorrow and I’d have loved a third child if we could afford it! Was getting quite mopey when I passed the baby clothes in Tesco only today 😨 I shouldn’t complain as we have our lovely son (7) and daughter already. 

Hope the mum-to-be feels better soon once she is past the sickness bit!

Hello, I follow this thread but very rarely pop out of my shell to post....just wanted to say that this site https://warmspaces.org/spaces helps you locate warm banks/spaces with details. Might be helpful to those looking for a place to warn and also for those aware of a provision that might want to register.

Finally to cheer me up even more my wool order has turned up at long last from Sirdar.1200 gms of pink and 1200 gms of blue.
all at half the normal price so just over £32.00 odd but more than enough for what I want

I can soon get cracking on a pink blanket now for the new little baby, then a couple for my other little great granddaughters, any left will end up in my yarn stash for the charity blankets No more wool to buy for around the next 6 months at least
