Good Morning Saturday 15th April 2023

Happy birthday 🎂GM.

A very late post from me today as the lovely weather in Suffolk meant a long dog walk, washing to be pegged out and generally messing around. Just wanted to say to Marydoll that hearing about babydoll reminded me of the birth of my younger brother ,born in 1957 and 11 years younger than me… a late hatch according to my mother at the time. He was a breech baby and had turned in feet. The treatment in those days was a metal plate across the bottom of his feet so that he was unable to move them. My mother was allowed to unscrew them for 10 minutes twice a day. As an 11 year old I was quite upset to see him but he seemed unconcerned.

As a teenager and adult he was a keen rugby player and his career was spent in the fire service,in his younger years as an active fireman. I’m sure with the advice and treatment offered nowadays I’m sure babydoll’s future will be very bright.

Awaiting son’s arrival with his chainsaw to tackle some broken tree branches from the recent high winds. Hope all are having a positive day especially GM and her action packed programme in Bristol.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a bright Hull. It’s the start today of a mostly lovely sunny mild week hooray!

grandMattie I hope you and your lovely Grandaughter have a very happy birthday. 🎂💐

Welcome to Cherrylover 👋 hope you enjoy visiting in a morning.

Marydoll 💐 my little Grandaughter baby B was born with Talapes where both her feet were turned in. She had lots of checks and my daughter always massaged them while she fed her. She’s toddling now and you can’t see that they were ever turned in.
My daughter was also born breech bottom first and as she loves to tell people in an extended stretch. She’s always been flexible and went on to dance.

Have a lovely day everyone and enjoy your family friend gatherings. Thoughts to those struggling with illness and stress. 🌻🌻

I was born an extended breech, apparently it was 5 days before my legs straightened out. I have never been flexible or even able to touch my toes!

Morning all

Late to the party once again.

Wi-Fi has decided not to work in our bedroom, so I have to wait till I come downstairs to catch up with GN. I then start pottering and this morning I have been up to the local shops and popped into DD’s before GN.

Will now read all your posts properly 🤣

Happy Birthday grandMattie enjoy your special day 🎂🎉🥂

Pleased baby doll is home 👶

Have a good Saturday folks 🙋‍♀️🦩😔

Good morning everyone from sunny Algarve. The forecast says it will be 5° warmer than yesterday which was a very pleasant 22°.

Happy Birthday to grandMattie and I hope your granddaughter has a wonderful day as well. 🎂💐🦩🥳 gM you deserve to be spoilt a bit and have a breather before you move on to the next stage of your life.

Congratulations to the proud Gran and all of Marydoll’s family on the safe arrival Babydoll. I’m glad she’s safely home again, I had to check to see if you’d posted before reading anything else this morning MD.

I’ve not been very well myself since Good Friday. I started off fine but about an hour after a lunch of two hot cross buns, the diarrhoea started and despite both medication and fasting as much as possible carried on whenever I’ve tried to eat this week.
I’ve had trouble with many processed wheat flour products in the past but thought I’d mostly got over it.

I think I’m improving slowly as long as I’m very, very careful with what I eat.

Welcome to Cherrylover ( lovely name). It’s true GN is a big plus in my life.

Best wishes to everyone with health problems this week. I’ve appreciated those wishes more than usual myself this last week.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dull but dry Oxfordshire.
Happy Birthday GM so pleased that you are safely in Bristol, hoping you get the keys very soon.
Best wishes to babydoll good that they are keeping a check on her.
Cherry we will be close to you tomorrow for a few days, I can’t wait to be near the sea again, we will drop in on MrOops sister whilst we are there.
MsOops is still here but the rest of the family have returned to Bristol and Cornwall, I love it when they are here, but now I can have a rest.
MissOops had her hearing aid fitted yesterday and was able to watch Downton Abbey without subtitles for the first time, they are taking a bit of getting used to, but so far so good. Although her hands are so incredibly painful as her fingers are dislocating and now have to be popped back in again, constantly, we are waiting for appointment for her and for Nephew for second opinions on their painful conditions, let’s hope the dates arrive soon.
Anyway, the sun has just come out. Yippeeeee.
Have a good day everyone.

Thank you all for the welcome, I look forward to reading this thread in the mornings. Interesting to hear what people are up to!

Good morning.

It’s trying to brighten up now, and I spy some blue sky. We had non stop rain yesterday.

Happy birthday GrandMattie 🎂🎉.

Hello Cherrylover. I think you’ll find this forum a friendly one, and GN overall as helpful and supportive.

No big plans today, though if it stays dry I might venture into the garden for a spot of tidying, some things got blown about after the strong winds earlier in the week.

Another sunny Good Morning from Co Armagh
Happy Birthday to grandMattie and your GD
Haircut yesterday was conducted accompanied by all the gossip, resulting in a very short ‘do”
Marydoll we used to show Mums how to do a very gentle massage on Talipes , they usually came right

Good Morning everyone from sunny Severnside.

A day in the garden for me.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday GM 🎂💐🎉

Welcome Cherrylover

Arrgggh! My post disappeared! Good morning everybody from a bright and sunny NE Scotland. Very best wishes to all those I named in my first post! Have a lovely weekend all!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Late today after luxuriating with a cup of tea in bed, courtesy of DDiL. She, with DS, have taken the dog for a lovely country walk where he can safely be off the lead, so breakfast will be when they are ready for it.

Happy birthday, gMattie and excitement with the new addition, Marydoll. Isn’t it great how people can share their good experiences to encourage you? Hope that Babydoll thrives on all the love around her.

Good morning from a dry NE at present.
Our lunch out yesterday was delicious and mostly vegetarian.
In the evening we drove to Gateshead to attend the RNS concert with Sheku Kanneh Mason, it was tremendous and it was a sell out concert. Downside to the venue is the time it takes to get out of the car park, half an hour last night.
DS is home from Oxford and will visit with GD2 this afternoon.
Happy Birthday grandMattie and to your GD.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Good morning all from sunny Lancashire. I’m currently sat up in bed drinking tea after another bad stomach episode. I thought I had identified the cause, but I guess there’s more than one trigger. I shall eat sparingly and drink lots today. I don’t fancy eating at all at the moment.

A very happy birthday to Grandmattie and DGD.

Have a good day everyone 🌻🌻🌻

My hill isn't high enough - the haar is here!

Good morning all from the south coast where it’s grey but dry and that’s welcome in itself after rain,rain, rain this week.

Happy birthday GrandMattie and hope you enjoy your action packed day.

Glad baby is home MaryDoll and that she is well. Fingers crossed all is well with the issues you mention.

Today, for us, a walk dodging the showers, a visit to the garden centre and tonight a meal in a restaurant with friends. Looking forward to that!

Have a good day and a peaceful one everybody.

Good morning from Durham. It’s been raining, but drying out now and patches of blue sky. A magpie has just flown into the window - it’s ok, but I don’t know who got the biggest shock - is that an omen?
I’m taking BF to the airport today, as she’s going away with her cousin for a few days. She is obsessed with her car and doesn’t want it left outside, hence the lift.
DD2 and her DH are looking at a new build house near me later - a style they’re interested in, but on a different site. I will ask if they want to drop DGS2 off with me for an hour or two, so they can have a proper look.
I really need to lose some weight for my own holiday. I know the mantra - eat less, move more - so perhaps tomorrow will be Day 1 - I’m in the zone!
Welcome Cherry hope you’ll tell us more about yourself.
🎂Happy Birthday gM

Best wishes to all for the weekend. X

Good morning Mick and all from a dull Windsor. Good journey down yesterday and I enjoy taking the bus across London and also out to Windsor rather than the train. Lots to see.
Today to BILs 90th birthday so will make an effort dress wise.
Last night nice Italian meal with DD and tomorrow to Cinderella at Covent Gardeb, looking forward to that.
Glad you are feeling better ‘Sar53” I’m over my bug, it was a bugger…welcome’Cherrylover’ and hope you enjoy your first days in your new city GM

Good morning all from the Black country its sunny and blue skies in my part NannyJan will send some your way.
Happy birthday GM and best wishes to your DGD 🎂.
Welcome to this lovely thread Cherrylover 👋
Hoping Babydoll is doing well
Will catch up with everybody's news later, it's that time again full English calling 🥓🍳.
Enjoy your Saturday whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️

Marydoll my 14 year old DGD was breech and when she was born she looked like a little frog, her legs were so bent. She had x-rays on her hips in case they were displaced but all was well in the end. She is now nearly 6ft tall with lovely long legs.
I hope all is well with Babydoll xx

Thank Sar, that's reassuring.
Thirty nine year old DD's ankle is still slightly turned in. My GP kept telling me it would be fine, that's why I'm slightly concerned. I'm sure she will be fine. Such a blessing for us all.

Morning from Aberdeenshire where the early mist is lifting. We had a lovely sunny day yesterday and I enjoyed joining the weekly walking group. The walk lasted about an hour and a half and ended with coffee and home made scones in the village hall. They were a really friendly welcoming group and I enjoyed it very much.
In the afternoon we went a run to Banchory and had delicious fish and chips for tea. My sister came here to be near our nephew and family and it has definitely been a good move.

Happy Birthday grandMattie and to your DGD, it sounds like a very positive first day in your new town and a good start to the next stage. I hope you enjoy it all.

More blethering and exploring today and then home tomorrow. I came by train but will go home by bus since the ticket prices on Sunday are mad!

Well done baubles, but don’t wear yourself out!

Wishing everyone a good weekend 🦩

Welcome to GN/GM Cherrylover
I joined by chance a few years ago and am now seriously addicted.
As Wyllow says, it's a big plus.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another sunny start after heavy rain late yesterday.
Village coffee morning today then perhaps some gardening. The lawns need cutting but it may be too wet.
Happy birthday GM.
Lots of family time today. Enjoy.
