  • Help!! I need a Name!!

    For my new Baby. My Daughter has just arrived with a new baby for me,he/she is a massive Old English Dog ( Stuffed toy of course) that takes up the entirety of my two seater sofa. He/she is Grey and White and adorable. Apparently my present for helping her these past few days and I cannot think of an original name for him/her.
    So I need suggestions,I cannot leave the poor thing nameless;)

  • Oh Snow!!

    Well that has effectively scuppered todays plans. A full day of shopping with eldest child was on the books for today. However as it is snowing like crazy and looks set in for the day,thats now a no-go.
    I was quite looking forward to it too:(
    Still I suppose I can find something else to do,study maybe,clean even.
    It isn`t often I get to go shopping like this with eldest daughter. She has recently come into some money which though it isn`t a fortune has enabled her to pay some long standing bills and buy things she wouldn`t otherwise be able to afford. Yesterday we kitted the children out and today we were going to buy clothes for her and some bits and pieces for the house.
    It has been lovely watching her buying for the children without having to go for the cheapest things or worry about what she can and cant afford. She has finally got something for herself that she has always wanted and thought would only ever be a dream, a four poster bed. With matching dressing table after some bargaining by mam. Having watched her struggle and scrimp and just get by ( A feeling I know only too well from raising mine alone ) with bits of help from me when I have been able, it has been so nice to see her face as she has been able to pay off bills that were haunting her and buy things that are not essentials and not have to feel guilty about doing so.
    It has helped me too,my normal trepidition about shopping having to be put to one side to enable me to go with her and help her. Making lists of things that though they are not classed as essentials she can now afford to have.
    Ah well to the books it is;)
