Good Morning Friday 29th July 2022

Goodness Grandmadinosaur that’s an awful lot of money! I assume you attend a private dentist? I could get 6 flights to Malaga and back for that amount. Just wow.

I’m proud of your progress GG13 - persevere with your homework. It pays dividends! Lots of free time to use as the fancy takes you ...

Good morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

I’m a bit shaky this morning after a horrible experience yesterday when we lost five year old DGD. She was there, then she wasn’t, in a matter of seconds. I called the police but meanwhile several people had spread out to help us look for her and it was one of those kind folks who located her and rushed to tell me. She had made her way to the Palace, I had looked in the cafe but she was in the gift shop being looked after by the lovely staff. We had lost her walking through a car park and I had visions of her being snatched and driven away. I can’t begin to describe the feeling. Her parents have forgiven us and the child herself seems to be okay.

Does the garden centre start with the letter C Marydoll?

Wow, that’s a lot of pills Gingster!

Congratulations to your son BlueSapphire.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a grey and damp NE.
Trip to cinema was not that exciting, GDs saw The railway children and deemed it mediocre. DS and I saw Where the crawdads sing, predictable and clichéd, only seven of us in the cinema and it was a large venue.
We had a fun evening after dinner, we watched a DVD of the GDs first holiday abroad with DH and I. GD2 was only 9 months old and she was tickled pink to see herself in the swimming pool and crawling around the garden in Brittany.
I have the day to myself today, a quiet one I hope.

Your panic must have been scary baubles. A heart stopping frightening event. Your relief when she was returned to you will have been immense. x

I haven’t seen Susan56 posting lately, has anyone? I hope all is well.

Morning from sunny East Ren. Two overexcited DGC getting ready for Drama Camp so I’m staying in bed with my cup of tea. Oh no too late.

Well after a rousing rendition of ‘Peanut Butter and Jelly’ which I foolishly taught them I guess the day has begun

Going for my eye appointment after we drop the children off so crossing my fingers for a successful outcome and wishing everyone a good day ???

Oh my goodness baubles what an awful experience, but thankfully all ended well. I’ve had a couple of scary moments like that myself and it really shakes you up doesn’t it, sending ❤️

Good morning all from sunny N Bucks. Overslept badly after a rubbish night, mostly down to Rosie going absolutely ballistic around 2 am. I was always led to believe greyhounds don’t bark , they have a small voice box relative to their size and certainly Hattie and before her Gracie, used to come up with silly girly squeaks. Not Rosie! She knows how to bark all right and while it could have been a fox or a cat I still felt I had to check round everywhere in case it was somebody perhaps trying a window. Zilch. Nada. But I was wide awake.
I’m so glad you got to London BlueSapphire , and weren’t travelling on your own without a car. I had seen the train cancellations mid-morning. What a lovely occasion for you all. Your DH would have been so proud. I haven’t read all the way through the thread, so can’t make any other comments except to Baubles - what a nightmare TG it ended well.
Wishing everybody a pleasant day.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a Carlisle of sun and cloud and rather cool.
The tooth extraction went OK-ish. She wasn't my usual dentist who got the last tooth out with minimal numbing and effort. This time about 3 syringefuls seemed to go in so my entire mouth, tongue and lower jaw were numb. Then, to pull it, she had to put so much pressure on my lower jaw, I thought it would come off its hinges! I felt fine driving home but soon after had an attack of the pale and wobblies which lasted the rest of the day. Delayed shock? Consciously I felt relaxed about having the procedure. I still feel a bit lightheaded this morning so plan to take it easy, which frustrates me as usual.
I do hope to continue picking out some holiday gear, the spare bed is looking full already but some will eventually end back in the wardrobes etc as I am determined to travel as lightly as possible.

Days of turkey ahead grandMattie? This is where a dog would come in useful, I'd be so tempted to let him/her have it!

Have a pleasant weekend everyone.

Regarding the turkey. DS absolutely loves it. A small sacrifice for my remaining boy!

I’ve heard the tip of taking a photo of DGC when going out so if/when they wander off you can show their photo to folk when you’re hunting! Heart stopping isn’t it? Our DD2 was an escape artist-I could recount many a tale of searching for her! No wonder I went grey early!
Anyway what’s all this talk about ironing? I do hardly any these days -just items of clothing that NEED it!

We think along the same lines Urms as that was what I was equating it too. The receptionist was almost apologetic saying none of the dentists want to work for the NHS. Yes we have private healthcare where we can claim it back thankfully.

Phew what a panic for you baubles I can only imagine how you must have felt.

Enjoy the break away and the wedding Ashcombe

Harrigran I was sad to read the Railway children film didn’t live up to expectations. It’s one we were planning to see. Also the Crawdads film having not read the book.

Well done to your son bluesapphire a proud day for you.

We never stop looking after our DC do we Shazza I’m sure the breakfast sandwich went down a treat!

Baubles I can only imagine how you felt yesterday. It’s such a terrifying few minutes of panic when you lose sight of your child or grandchild. ?

Forgot your cold turkey GM I love it. I had quite a lot of our Christmas effort that I had frozen intending to turn into a curry at some point. The other day I looked online how long to keep it and decided it was past the date so I reluctantly binned it. Very annoyed with myself for not using it sooner.

Nightmare baubles I can understand why you’re still a bit wobbly today.
Your dental experience sounds horrendous EkwaNimitee my personal fear, I hope today you feel better.

What a frightening experience baubles. Similar happened to my parents when DD was about 4. They were walking at a Garden Fete, when a group of people walked between them. In a matter of a few seconds DD wasn't there. They eventually found her, but even today Mum talks about how upsetting it was,

8Baubles*, it is the garden centre near your DD's, I think!

So glad you found the wee one!

Good morning Mick and all. It’s damp and cloudy in my corner of Lancashire, currently 16°C.

Just a flying visit today as Mr.B and I are going for a coastal walk and some birdwatching followed by lunch. Coats may be needed. I will read the thread later.

Have the best day you can everyone ???

Good morning all from an indifferent W Kent, supposed to be hot later. Piles of ironing followed by a light shop.
I hope everyone has the best day they can.

Urmstongran I have just read about your big achievement well done you ??????

That’s the one Marydoll ?

The police were with us in minutes, both from the palace and the parliament, before the car from the 999 call got to us. They were all very reassuring and kind.

The palace staff gave her a little stuffed royal corgi, she said ‘but Mummy said no more soft toys’. Bless her.

Good morning - the sun has come out in Leicestershire.

Nothing planned today - going to do an *Urmston # lazygran as I had a horrid headache yesterday.

What a fright Baubles I still feel sick when I remember losing DD at 3 years old on the beach for 4 hours!
What a lovely day BlueSapphire you must be very proud.

Grandmadinosaur you are right we never stop looking after our DC as old as they are.
BlueSapphire your proud day sounds wonderful and Thankyou for putting on the pictures.
MawtheMerrier for some reason I never imagined Rosie to be a greyhound. They are wonderful dogs.
EkwaNimitee ouch! No wonder you had delayed shock that sounds horrific. Hope you are ok today?

I need to go round to our local post office and ask if they will put a flyer in their window for DD she’s setting up her own ante natal classes. She’s offering in detail ante natal classes plus ongoing support post birth to support breast feeding etc. ? it will be a business that will fit around her family rather than in the hospital.

Speak soon ??

A late good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.

DH is having his hair cut as we speak and then I am going with him to help out on the boat.

DD2 and family will have just landed in Paris. DGD1 and her dance company are dancing at Disneyland Paris tomorrow. I think we can watch it online. A very proud Gran here.

Enjoy your day whatever you may find yourself doing, much love to all xxx

Oh greyduster enjoy your breakfast at barter books. I love that place and Northumberland is such a beautiful place. Glad you enjoyed your holiday. Late start for work today so enjoying a leisurely morning before I go. Enjoy your day everyone love reading about your lives.
