Boasting alert!

I definitely would be boasting too. It's nice when they do well and you feel that you had some influence through their lives. Well done!

Its been ages since we used this thread so I am going to have a big big boast,my super handsome DS2 has popped the question to his delightful girlfriend on Monday evening and she said YES !!!
Yesterday I spent the day very tearful (in a lovely way) and delighted for them she is a lovely girl who I knew was right for him from the day I met her,THE RING is a stunning diamond solitaire on a traditional gold band and really suits her as she is so petite and dainty.Massive saving spree on the way now as I am sure as eggs are eggs DS1s girl will want to follow suit and as Cilla Black says "a new 'at" is on the horizon.

Greatnan what excellent news - like everyone else, I'd be boasting too. And, in tune with other GNs' thoughts, don't let the problems with your other daughter spoil your joy.

And glamma how lovely for you all! We'll stand by to talk about hats.

Glamma having just had the excitement of our son's wedding I understand your happiness; it's a great relief when you feel you can genuinely celebrate your loved ones choice of partner.

That's really lovely news, glamma! Heartwarming and exciting too!

glamma fantastic news, you will enjoy "the new at" or two.

Glamma Such happy news. Lots to think about. Let's hear about your choice of outfit, when you reach a decision. I love talking fashion. Have you seen my outfit in my photos. It's a long way down the page. Hat is now wrapped in tissue. I hope to wear it when the first of my granddaughters marries.

greatnan thats fab news . you have every right to be very proud xx

What great news , When are they getting married ?

[flowers , flowers]

Congratulations, Glamma - I have noticed how often one engagement or wedding in a family triggers another!

Thanks everyone for the lovely thoughts,Nonu it will not be soon as DS2 likes everything to be just so and he will not want to rush things if he can't afford to do it just as she wants so they are going to save for a while and maybe get themselves into a small house before the big day.GA so right in your post about being the right one I remember when I first met DDs X and he had a big flashing light above his head as if to say to me "I am trouble" and he was.Nothing though is going to stop me being chuffed to bits about this I still feel on cloude nine,mr.g. and I are out for lunch next week with her GPs they are nice people they have raised her since she was a baby and they are as excited as we are.

Great news glamma

glamma managed to get pics of hat to move up the page. Let's start a granniehatthread. Nice to have some fun when there's so much gloom and doom around.

soop I do love your hat in fact I love the whole outfit it is spectacular and you look stunning in it,I know that I will be looking far and wide for the outfit and will enjoy every minute of it.At the moment I am thinking down the vintage theme any excuse to start looking says I.

Oh! glamma That sounds so exciting. Do you have any particular era in mind? You've got me all of a thrill.

Great news glamma a wedding is always filled with love.

Congratulations glamma - am sure you are going to live up to your name!
soopI think a thread for hat pics is a brilliant idea

Grannylin How do we go about it?

No idea, I 'm technically challenged.Elegran would know.We need to be able to click on a name in blue to get access to the pics.The only way I can think of doing it, is to invent a Gransnet profile for a hat

Where's that Elegran when we need her?

Did you call?

Ha ha! Hello there. As you are worldly wise - and Grannylin and I are not, please can you assist us with starting up a granshatthread?

soop I have just spent 5 mins looking at all your photo's your DGCs are such a lovely credit to you and the little man is just delish !! how how has come on and grown since those first pic's of him over 18mths ago now and repeating myself again and sounding boring I do adore little boys.

You're not at all boring, Glamma...adoring our grandchildren is what we do...thank you for your kind comments.
