hi all

thankfully we´ve had much better weather since Tuesday, but its gone a bit overcast/drizzly today. We fly home Monday evening, so I´m hoping it will stay dry at least.

will catch up when I get home back to reality

Hi folks, just dropping in whilst stuffing lunch and then off to collect K.

Bramshott. I am so sorry about your grandad. Nothing can prepare you for the death of a loved one. I hope you can get some quiet time. xx

Runny, glad the weather has picked up

Sorry loves, need to head.

See you after the weekend. Have a good one. xx

Bramshott · 16/05/2008 13:47

Feeling a bit better now. Back from town, O asleep, and have nearly sorted out the flights for work after hours on the phone. Then need to pick N up from school and tell her about G-Grandpa Howard - really not sure how she'll take it tbh, she hasn't seen him since last summer but we have talked about him since he's been ill and she sent him a picture etc.

I've put a picture of Grandpa Howard with Orla on my profile if you want to take a look.

Not sure what my cousin decided by I will talk to my mum tonight and find out.

Eddas · 16/05/2008 19:42

hi everyone, good to see you memz

Caz, my dh's mum is only 48(well she will be tomorrow) and he's 32 in sept

glad there was no biting today oooggs

dc have been for their first full day and all went well. DS had some crying moments but the lady said that considering it was his first day there wasn't too many(although she could be telling porkies) dd was on fine form again and didn't seem at all bothered by any of it. So all in all pretty good!

I've just ordered our new bed and I'm not sure i'll be able to wait 3-4 weeks for it to be delivered. It was so comfortable in the shop. Such a shame though as it's a bigger bed than our current one so we need all new bedding. Oh no i'll have to go shopping

Eddas · 16/05/2008 19:43

my dad's 60 and doesn't look it. He gets a free bus pass now and i told him they'll ask him for id

Doobydoo · 16/05/2008 19:52

OOO is he single!Not for me for me mum

Doobydoo · 16/05/2008 19:54

God,,,I meant as in divorcedWhich prob wouldn't be graet eitherI think I won't post tonight am not expressing myself very weell.Sorry

Eddas · 16/05/2008 19:58

don't worry dooby, it takes quite a lot for me to get pissed off, unless of course you are my dh in which case it takes suprisingly little

FYI, my mum died in 2003. but dad is remarried, although i would prefer he not be, so sadly no he isn't single

Doobydoo · 16/05/2008 20:01

God sorry EddasDon't know if my mum would be an ideal stepmum either

Eddas · 16/05/2008 20:07

please don't apologise, you weren't to know thought i ought to say thou as some people on here do know so may have told you and didn't want you to think you'd offended me or something IYSWIM

Doobydoo · 16/05/2008 20:08

CaptainDippy · 16/05/2008 20:26
