WEEKLY CHAT (non-osprey) SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2014

LOL Dibnlib!!

Aha!!  We're back!!   Hope that it's a new, improved product with high customer satisfaction now!

Let's hope so,LINDY!

BRENDA - I did realise that you were only making a comment, sorry if I seemed a bit officious, it is always difficult to say things exactly as you would if face to face lol

OG - Good news regarding your daughter's house. About time she had some good luck.

Middle daughter has given up her second job:-(  She has been very tired and stressed since Amy started on the insulin pump. She can't phone the childrens ward at night because according to the Consultant the nurses aren't yet trained about the pump. She has the doc's mobile number but that is only for dire emergencies at night. Last night, Amy's levels were not good and Alison had to try and work out what to do. Thankfully, they have a hospital appt tomorrow morning. I'm sure that Alison will get to grips with it soon. Other parents are having similar problems apparently.

It is dark and miserable here today.

Well done, tech folks! I'm now able to access Rich Formatting again! Woo hoo! So I can do bold text and insert photos, etc.

Back later to catch up. Hope everyone is well.

Attempting to do a posh (smart) link, which I haven't been able to do for a while. 

Here's a Poitou donkey for Margo. Thinking of you, Margo!

Well, that works, Diane! What a cute fella!! I want one..... .

Heather - I haven't commented on this before I think, but my thoughts are with your daughter over the problems with Amy. Do hope they can get the right help with her condition and the new pump.

We had a tiring but happy day, yesterday. On Saturday I did some baking and bought some dips, plus preparing some veg to dip into them. In the morning I dug out the carrots, celery & dips from the bottom of the fridge, and off we went, laden down with presents for new baby, from our end of the family, plus several parcels for the Birthday Boy. I was driving so that my OH could do the stint back home again later. Two motorway junctions and 20 minutes from home, I clapped my hand to my mouth - I had left 30 sausage rolls in the fridge!! We took the next slip road off, around & back, and so on arrival at our Youngest, we were half an hour late instead of slightly early!! Aaaaargh!

We were a jolly crowd when everyone arrived. Tomasz was slightly overexcited of course, and new baby Matthew was passed around like a parcel. He only seems to cry when he's hungry, and is a placid child, just like our son was (his dad). At one point I cuddled him and he slept against my shoulder for nearly three quarters of an hour. Our Eldest arrived with little Amber, who didn't like a room full of people, and complained loudly!!! We took lots of photos, but a lot were chaotic! Have been down to Boots today to print some of them out, however their machines have just been replaced & I was unable to make a disc. Tomorrow I'm going to collect a memory USB from a local shop so that hopefully I can get the pics onto my ancient computer.
