Ann, he is 5.... it would seem he is lovely, but with no sense of danger.... well, he sounds just like S, lol........ M, my 4 year old littlie, is a lot shyer, and much more aware of dangers.... this could be interesting... I shall practice my *sit in the corner and snore my head off* granny act, lol.

Now... what shall I let them call us? I am against them calling us by our first names, but obviously, we are not their grandparents, and it will be their first visit, which is when precedents are set.

I think we are both relaxed about them calling us by the names we are known by elsewhere... in my case Daff.

Silly, isn't it, the things we worry about!

Love

Daff xxxx

Daff would be fine, you would have to explain to the 11 year old that it is a nickname you already have. Do they have a full set of grandparents. It is unusual for a five year old to have no sense of danger, unless they have autism or similar.

I'm not sure, to be honest..... I have deliberately not questioned too much... R2 tells me as much as he wants me to know, lol..... I get the impression that he is a very lively child, but *sunny*... he is in the same class at school as R2's little Godson... that is how they all met, lol.... Godson's mum is friends with livewire's mum..... and an introduction was made, etc etc.....

He is certainly sounding happier than he has done (except when talking about his little girl, lol) for a long long time, so that's all I am focusing on at the moment!

Duck was delicious, by the way!!

Love

Daff xxxx

Jude,
Have you been out into the forest this weekend? have the trees turned colour yet?

I suppose you will find out soon enough. Glad you enjoyed the duck *sigh, I will put up with our chook. Going to have a sherry now though, speak later.

Lol Ann....... I suppose if chicken was rare, and we had to eat more duck... chicken would become the delicacy!

Enjoy!

Love

Actually it was really nice. It was a Willow farm one and was half price and seemed to have a lot more flavour than the cheaper ones. Had roast potatoes, carrots, courgettes, leek and onions and honey roast parsnips plus cabbage with leek and caraway seeds. Really enjoyed it. Not to forget the glass of red!!

Morning all.... just wanted to shock you, lolol.... R has had to go into work early, so I was up at silly o'clock getting his flasks and sarnies sorted out....

The shock has been a bit much for me as well, to be honest... I am off back to bed, armed with a nice cuppa... just for an hour or so ;¬))

Love

Daff xxxxx

Morning everyone, where is Maz, hope all is well, quiet day so far, forecast says its getting warmer,tried the lavender on a tissue, cant say I noticed any change still early days, still woke almost every hour...ah well at least I woke!!!
I was going to send you all a card from sunny Llandudno,but with the strikes perhaps not....
Daff, you sound as though you will be having a great Christmas,, room for one more? Have a good day everyone....

love Jean xx

Morning Daff and Jean:-) Looks lovely out there, blue skies and feels very mild. Just as well as I haven't found a winter coat yet! lol Jean have you tried any of those over the counter sleeping aids? I think Daff used to use Nytol or something similar. As for me, my most treasured possession is my little heavy duty sleeping pill!

Has anybody been watching Emma on BBC1...it finished last night and although I have seen a few versions, I thought it was lovely. Before that (a very slobby evening!) I watched The Forsyth Saga...fantastic!

Right, back to reality, must get dressed and do the park.

Have a lovely day everyone. BCXX

~~~~~~~~ to BC have a lovely day... how is your face?

Jean, I used Nytol... another thing that works if Nytol fails is Asda Sleep Aid... but it is my *heavy duty* one... and I tend to be a bit foggy in the morning for a couple of hours after taking them.... so don't very often.

Always room for one more, Jean, lol

Love

Daff xxxxxx

Scabby, Daff, thanks for asking:-))) LOL BCXXXX

Oh dear.... now don't you dare pick at those scabs... it's the devil when they itch, isn't it? Once they drop off, your skin will look clear and lovely again.

*wonders if they'll last long enough to frighten the kiddies at Halloween*

Love

Daff xxxx

Thanks for the advice,I had thought of Nytol, but worry that it might become addictive....btw, B.C. I wonder if you may have a photo for the G.R. scrapbook I am going to do. no worries if you would rather not, just thought I would ask...

love Jean xx

Jean, Maz has gone to her Mum's for a week.

BC, leave them alone!!!!! No didn't watch Emma.

Men are funny aren't they? Funny story to start the day. Lying in bed chatting (like you do) I said, 'we could go to Blooms Cheltenham for coffee for a ride out' (got to entertain him to avoid golf withdrawal symptoms). He said, 'no we'll go to Blooms Haresfield then I can go to Halfords'. So I agreed that was fine, five minutes later. he says 'no, we can go to Blooms at Cheltenham then you can go to the Range'. Errrr wasn't that what I suggested first? Ah but it has to be their idea doesn't it? Forgot that Lol!!!!!

Hope you woke up again refreshed.

Jean, I guess you need a course of some sort of sleeping tablets/medicine to re-train your brain not to wake every hour.

Ann, I have been to the docs some time ago, and he said I didnt need any, and to take Paracetomol. but really not happy at taking prescribed medicine prefer natural stuff..... are yoy going to send me your latest oage, and your trip to Westonbrit? please...

love Jean xx

Hello Daff and Everyone hope you've all had a good weekend. I can say mine was greaat
It was OH's birthday and younger Grandson was home for a couple of days so Daughter cooked supper Saturday evening,,and with other members of the Family there,we had a lovely night. ...ooh I do love it when we are together. Then Sunday dinner out and last night a long phone call from Son,back from their hols.

Glad you're keeping well Daff and not too busy!

I like willow farm chickens too Ann as you say much more flavour

Hope the scabs 'fall off' soon BC keep smiling your lovely smile, and don't forget the pancake ;O)

Jean I hope you find a solution to your sleep problem, horrible when you feel tired all the time.

Have a smashing day everybody

...reading this back we certainly cover some topics lolol

Jean I will send the latest page as soon as I have photographed it. I have not done a page on Westonbirt yet.

Did get to the Range this morning so had a bit of a spend, sadly they don't do stickles so that will mean a trip to Hobbycraft sometime. Got several lots of ribbon though use a lot of it on cards and scrapping, and another sticker folder, always useful and some more double sided tape. Well somehow we spent £30+ and only £3.50 of that was OH's

Ann, thank you so much, it is a lovely page, so very well done too....
you should be very pleased....

D has ordered me a hop pillow, to try supposed to be very good for insomniacs,I had heard about them but had forgotten....


love Jean xx

*doubtfully....Mau are you sure this is a good idea? **Sticks pancake on face.....it sounds like you had a wonderful time with family..hope you gave OH that kiss I sent:-)) My little boy will be in transit to Ireland and is staying a night with his dear old mum...lol....

Still a beautiful day here, just got back in from the Underground and was ravenous for some reason..so I was quite inventive and healthy....I poached two eggs in some baked beans! It works!!

Right, am off to do some shopping. Have PMd you Jean.
