DH is up and out of the house before 7! I think that's a first in all the time I've known him. He's off to shoot arrows at Bannockburn. Hope he has fun.

Anything unusual about your Sunday?

Thanks Gn smile

You have a lovely family, Ella! I like the photo with the gravy boat!

Greatnan Mon 08-Oct-12 14:06:58

Yes, please! We both enjoyed our last lunch so much.
Ella, I will take a look anyway.

We haven't sorted a date out yet Greatnan but if it's before you are due to come over, we'll ensure we make an opportunity to meet up with you and your lovely sister, if you can fit in a long, chatty lunch! smile

Greatnan I have just loaded a new picture without any problem,it's not from yesterday as I've not got to grips with the iPhone yet!

Anno, I can distincly remember being about eight and dumping my coat on my mother on one of our rare days out. She was carrying the picnic and the coats and jumpers of all the children. I thought to myself 'I don't want to be a mum, you can't run about.' I was right!
Hope you feel better soon. Where and when are you having a meeting? I will be with you in spirit.

I should be on a train home tomorrow. Sadly I have had to bow out of lunch with AlieOxon because I didn't want to give her a bad cold and also I wouldn't have been very good company today. Another time, Alie.

I spent Sunday being a camel. DS2's family were all running at Blenheim. Ds's partner successfully ran a half marathon; he ran 10K and then took the two GSs on a family fun run. And someone had to carry the coats, sweaters etc! Therefore, Granny was a camel yesterday! The boys have gone off to school to show off their medals and I am nursing a streaming cold.

Yes , I don't think my flat would suit her - not much night life in my village!
I have looked up the Easyjet flights - about £50 return. Be warned!

Ella I had to laugh at your description of taking pics with your iPhone. Glad it's not just me grin.
When I got mine my son's only comment was 'Do you think you're ready for an iPhone mother?' shock

Bags Mon 08-Oct-12 12:37:44

You'd better mean Minibags, or that's a double humph! grin

Greatnan Mon 08-Oct-12 12:37:09

Ella, she sounds gorgeous. Can you post the pictures on your profile? Some of us are having problems.

Greatnan Mon 08-Oct-12 12:36:03

Only because you have so much baggage, bags!

Ella46 Mon 08-Oct-12 12:35:47

I went to my dgd's 1st birthday (as mentioned) and had a really great time. My ex totally ignored me but didn't actually say anything unpleasant, and the rest of us enjoyed our gorgeous baby.
She wore a huge pink tutu (it wore her really!) and was delightful. Everytime she toppled over (she won't walk yet) she sank gracefully to the floor in a sea of pink frills!

My dd has given me her iphone 4 which I used to take loads of pictures and videos of my chin, chest and shoes grin and dgd!
I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon! grin

Bags Mon 08-Oct-12 12:30:59

Humph! Ever felt muscled out? wink grin

Gally Mon 08-Oct-12 12:24:02

Quelle bonne idee Greatnan - Easyjet fly from Geneva to Edinburgh wink

Greatnan Mon 08-Oct-12 12:17:35

I will have to look up flights from Geneva! Gally, you have no excuse for not coming to France (I will excuse Bags for the moment.)

Gally Mon 08-Oct-12 12:14:04

Oi Bags - she's coming to me first with her marigolds grin

Greatnan Mon 08-Oct-12 11:59:01

Bags, do you mind if I wait until it gets warmer? smile

Bags Mon 08-Oct-12 08:02:04

When are you coming to stay for a clearing out holiday in western Scotland, G? I need someone to tackle the cellar with me.

Greatnan Mon 08-Oct-12 07:58:00

Gally - enjoy!

Gally Mon 08-Oct-12 07:39:46

Greatnan.........there's still another shed to do and then, of course a garage filled to the rafters with 'stuff' grin
