Are we going to get minute by minute updates today. Kate is in labour and there will be no news for perhaps hours give the girl some privacy. Every few minutes we are getting updates saying nothing. It's going to be a long day!

Turn off the TV/ radio and go and do something more interesting instead. Turn TV/ radio on tomorrow when all over. hmm

If it's all over tomorrow! hmm

Even vaguely !! grin

Tegan Mon 22-Jul-13 11:08:27

I'm quite excited about it blush.

Anne58 Mon 22-Jul-13 11:15:34

I'm more excited about picking up the car on Wednesday! grin

I am more excited about my daughter picking up her new car in September.
The dealer has said that it may not be in for September 1st when the registration changes as it is not officially due in till the 7th September.
He did say at present cars are being delivered about 10 days early.
I would like the car to come by the 21st September because that is when the old car's MOT and service is due.

I wish her well and hope she and the baby are both fine as I would for anyone. However I'm no more interested than I would be if some one else I had never met was having a baby, as thousands are today.

How can you be so excited about it when you don't know the people concerned and it will not affect your life in the least?

Also wonder why the newspapers have supplements of all the pictures taken during the pregnancy, baby pictures of all the royals and no doubt pictures of the new nose peeping out of a shawl. Do people actually keep and treasure them ?

Is Kate too posh to push? Probably be a cesarean!grin

Tegan Mon 22-Jul-13 13:41:18

She wants a natural birth if possible [or so I've read]. I don't know why; I'm not a Royalist but [as I've said before] the fact that William is the same age as my son and my heart bled for him when he lost his mum, I just have a very deep fondness for him and, after the awful day of Diana's funeral I love to see him looking happy.

Nelliemoser Mon 22-Jul-13 13:59:35

Laidback She would have been in and a had an elective CS by now if she had wanted one. Why does Buck house have to announce she is in labour? Do they still have to have a minister of state present to verify the child is not a substitute? grin

As far as I am concerned this Royal baby must not cost me any money.

Anne58 Mon 22-Jul-13 15:23:07

And how exactly are you going to control that, Frank ?

Notso Mon 22-Jul-13 15:36:58

Maybe we could organise a Gransnet raffle with the proceeds going to Frank?
Strewth!

Sook Mon 22-Jul-13 15:49:11

ginny same here.

Tegan My youngest son is the same age as William too. I remember when Diana died DS after being a Dads lad suddenly became very loving and protective towards me I think it totally shocked him that the mother of someone his age could in such a tragic way.

Sel Mon 22-Jul-13 16:07:23

Sook and Tegan I'm another one with a son the same age as William. Again, not a Royalist but it's truly lovely to see him happy and with such an apparently nice girl who appears to love him. I'm sure they'll both make great parents too.

Movedalot Mon 22-Jul-13 16:18:31

Me too, son same age.

Did BH announce she was in labour or did they react to the media? Don't think they had a lot of choice with all the paps camped outside!

The papers have all the supplements because people buy them.

glammanana Mon 22-Jul-13 18:34:22

notso I can think of more worthy causes than Frank if all he has to worry about is the date of a car delivery.confused
