Other news................
All our family had a lovely get together a few weeks ago at our usual venue complete with buffet and disco.
Toby is my great nephew, and he was a very good boy!
My youngest son Phil and his family came down from Darlington, and my niece Emily (Toby's aunty) and her family came up from Wiltshire.
(The family are VERY excited as Em, Scott and their boys are moving back to Lincoln in a couple of months.)
It was the first time the whole extended family had been together since Mum and Dad's 60th Wedding Anniversary in January.
It was also the first time some of us had met Emily's new baby, Jenson.

No-one who knows me can believe that I might actually............

Yes please, count me in, it's a lovely bag. I'm glad to see your choice of bathroom suite will solve all your money problems!
Have fun. I'm having my niece & her one year old to stay..... HELP !!!!!
I love those bags... and im glad your bed might be a bit flatter with a bathroom makeover... love the vintage style suite... we are about to rip out our bathroom as we can hear a leak... but we cant see the leak...hmmm? however the bathroom has needed gutting since we moved in 4 years ago so I aught to thank the pixies that caused the leak... lol
I going to have to opt for a shower though instead of a bath as its the teeniest bathroom ever... but I am hopeful for tongue and groove on the walls... and a lovely soft sage green... 1940's house too and I can see some sage green under the old sink... ;D
have a super visit with your grand kids... xx
