Thanks lovely DG ❤ Our son said Mum and daughter had a good night last night in hospital and Rose slept right the way through, Mum even had to wake her to give her her bottle, she’s a little star. They got home and settled this evening and our son sent a photo of Rose big brother Haydn (almost four ❤) helping with the bottle and bringing her toys all evening, he’s over the moon with his new little sister honest it’s just too cute for words thanks for your lovely words DG, everyone has been so kind and supportive, it’s been quite emotional I really do love you all ❤❤ xx

A huge one back to you too. Rose may well be the person to put right so many of the wrongs others cause & the world is fortunate to have her. I love the sound of your engraved glass & now feel in the mood for a new rose for the garden, Munstead Wood I think.

What wonderful news, congrats!

That sounds mad on it's own, but being late to the party I didn't want to add the same sort of stuff - but I will do anyway:

It's very endearing to hear how ecstatic you are about your Granddaughter. I'm translating all your comments in to a (posh) Liverpool accent & they become more lovely. How thoughtful that you've replied to all your mates.
Sending love & heartfelt warm wishes.

PS. What a lovely traditional name. How long before some child is stuck with 'Chandelier' or similar

It's just occurred to me that this thread was started when stockpiling first happened and now we're starting to see it all over again.

Anyone else depressed?

Me,not been anywhere and seen some family once since March. If,as they say,it will be all winter then that will be 12 months.

 

[Lemonpop]

How lovely for you and all your family Shopper. Welcome to this strange world we are in Rose.

No, just wash your hands. That is it.

I have loads of solid soaps as I buy from the Xmas market and soap man as I call him every year. They are like the L'Occitane bath size and I would need to rumage in the botton of the wardrobe to actually know how many bars I have.

That’s a great idea .. I’ve been wanting to use some lovely smelling solid soaps and let hubby use the pump dispenser ones. Just got a fancy for them this week .. I will try our market Tomoz .. or when the Christmas market starts thank you Donna it’s worth a look

Well, we are in lockdown at the moment and if this carries on, our visiting the Christmas markets in Leeds with the family will be out the window as they are in lockdown from midnight tonight. Well, we can I suppose meet up with them as long as we're not visiting them at home or in gardens. I haven't a clue, very confusing!! Really getting fed up. My Mum who is 90 fell and broke her hip last week, she has been quite poorly, but they nailed her hip (had to google that) and she is now slowly on the mend. We have been allowed to visit, (LGI) but on Monday the hospital wouldn't let me see her as I'm from Kirklees, my brother who lives in Leeds could see her. Mum just couldn't understand why they wouldn't let me in. I feel fine, and am no different than I was the day before when they let me in. So a bit peeved at the moment.

It's beyond awful & I share your despair. My Mr T's just come back from a climbing trip with a friend; he's a doctor & his opinion, professionally & personally, is the same as mine that the cure is worse than the disease & there are massive issues on the horizon affecting every aspect of our lives because of the way the scientists have pushed their agenda. I haven't seen our oldest two grandchildren since the beginning of March or met our youngest one who was born at the end of June. Our older daughter allowed my husband to see the children twice when parked outside & finally allowed him to go into the garden through the gate but he had to sit 2 metres away from them & his drink was poured into his water bottle so she didn't have to touch a glass he'd contaminated... Our younger daughter has never had any worries about me being in her home two days a week when I look after her little girl. Even though caring for grandchildren has been given a reluctant for economic reasons, I was screeched at by their neighbour the first time she saw me after the Rule of Snitch had been introduced, asking me to consider my elderly relatives. Her face was a picture when I told her that I was THE elderly relative & as well as allowing my daughter to teach a class of 30 children my time spent with this beautiful child was one filled with joy & life was for living not avoiding the Grim Reaper.
