Isn't it lovely?

baubles, it's a well-known fact that GC are toxic. I hope the conjunctivitis - yours and theirs - clears up soon.

Oh, absent! That really is lovely - think your lass must take after her mum!

My lovely granddaughters have given me conjunctivitis

That was kind and thoughtful of your daughter, absent

How thoughtful of your daughter absent and what a lovely surprise for you. I have to agree with Greatnan to wonder if all daughters in New Zealand are as lovely, certainly mine is

So pleased you are enjoying your new life!

I have to admire the amount of work you are doing for your family, absent, although I am sure you enjoy it. Caring for young children is hard enough when you are in your 20's. No wonder your daughter appreciates you, but of course plenty of grandparents do a great deal and don't get the thanks they deserve.
My daughter used her first week's wages to buy me some sapphire ear-rings - nothing could have given me more pleasure.

Flickety has got it in one! Feel so happy for you, absent!

Agreed

Lovely daughters are generally like that because they have lovely caring mothers.

That is very true, when. I send deliveries to my mother for her birthday and xmas, she loves it and one day maybe my daughter will earn enough money to do it for me! It must be a wonderful surprise when it turns up. I don't tell my mother it's coming, I warn my stepfather though to make sure they are in.

Absent she's your daughter and you've brought her up to be thoughtful and kind. Now it's time for for you to enjoy the benefits of that effort

That is really nice, absent - I wonder if all daughters in New Zealand are as lovely as yours and mine!

How lovely

What a lovely daughter you have there absent she knows you would be like me and refuse any compensense if she asked you but you can't turn the nice and friendly delivery man away can you ?what a gem she is.So glad you are getting settled .

absent its good to be appreciated, your DD must feel as if you have taken a load from her shoulders.

No wonder you moved half way round the world to be with them all

That's extremely thoughtful! What a considerate daughter!

absent,

absent That IS lovely, and it's no wonder she loves you so much.

Lovely daughter you have there!
You also now know what she wants you to feed them and will not be fooled when they claim that mummy always feeds them chocopops before and after every meal.
For a moment there I thought he was bringing you confectionery (sweet delivery ). Are you managing to meet any other grown ups, in between the lovely childcare. (so envious!)
