    A very good morning SPCers! Crikey this week has certainly fled past, so Friday already! Keep so very safe everyone as there are unhealthy issues doing the rounds, including Covid 😡, a new variant of Flu, which we've hopefully had the vaccine for, plus there are other respiratory  issues looking out for us all!! 👹
    I wasn't aware until DD had her MS infusion, the Nurses told her to be extra vigilant and spread the news.
    For all those who are poorly or low in any way. Do please get well soon. Love and best wishes from us all at SPC <3

    So very many thanks Ant, you're so very right, money can never buy good health, even more so for babies!
    One thing I'd like point out though is that she's NOT my great great granddaughter! However old would that make T and I!! 😯 One great is enough Ant, however, I truly appreciate your very kind thoughts ❤️ Excellent potting!

    Very many thanks Hetty and we will most certainly enjoy the cuddles 🤗

    So very many thanks Siju! To be honest it took them a couple of days for it to really sink in that she's home! Our DGD so wanted to feed her herself, but obviously she needs the Formula from the hospital and it's that which she's been fed on since birth and which she needs for her lungs etc. Many thanks for your listening ear at the time, so very much appreciated. 🥰 A very healthy and happy New Year for our darling treasure for sure. 

    It definitely is RavenRover and so many thanks.

    Excellent potting LMD! 😀 Ooh excellent survey potting too!

    Very sensible Makingaboro2, far wiser! If you mean you have Covid I so hope you're soon feeling so very much better. 🤗 for you. All the best with hubby's pockets etc. 😉

    Brilliant potting TheScarletPixie!

    Not to worry CMD79, write it as you wish. Well done for the slipped in one!!😉

    Very well done Milki!!

    £40 from our bank account to SPC account, first for a while!🥰

    Have a really WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

    Sue

    Oops sorry Sue I did mean great granddaughter! That said, you are a great person so that’s my poor excuse for adding an extra great  ;)
    My Uncle Bill, a great grandfather himself once said to me “Don’t call me Uncle Bill, you’re making me feel old”  :)
    By the way, I had to wear my posh garb for a New Year’s Eve party and the first thing my daughter said to me when she saw me was “Dad, you look like an old man!”
    Anyway, I’m still potting away little and often. I’m sure it’s adding up quite nicely.

    It must be disappointing for your GD not to be able to feed her baby, it's such a wonderful bonding experience, not to mention being easier at night feeds! Once the little one starts building strength and putting on weight with her formula, Mum will enjoy watching her grow 💕 Does baby have a name yet @Sue-UU?

    Oh @AntoMac aren't kids brutal! We once decorated our living room and our son said it looked like an old people's home 🙈 needless to say, I loved it and it stayed like that for many years 🤣
