I hope you stayed in and put your feet up in that case Sue.

Hello Linda :-)

I've been thinking of you too Jem <3

It's been a sunny but chilly day today. It's been quite windy too :-(

Good morning everyone.

I have been thinking about you Jem <3

It is raining here, it has been for most of the night. I need to go out, so I will have to dig out my raincoat

Hi Sue, and everyone


Jem ................. I am so very sorry to hear about your grandson ((((HUGS))))



It is a Stat Holiday tomorrow (Monday) .............. and it looks as though the weather will be good :-D

Hello to all my dear and caring friends on here <3 <3 <3

I too enjoyed reading the banter about the buns, rolls, barms :-D

Jem I am sorry to hear about your grandson not being well and as the other lovely peeps on here have already said we are here to support each other as well as have a laugh. I for one can vouch for that as I have many time's had much support from everyone over the years I have been on this thread.
My thoughts and best wishes are with your daughter, you and the family <3

Linda my thoughts and best wishes are also with your daughter, you and the family <3

Sue that was really nice of the man to give you an extra 3 Orchids, will you have room for them all :-)

Tec I hope you are feeling less tired and not over doing thing's, you will enjoy the weather more next week as they say it will be in the 60s :-)

~~~~~~~ to all who look in later <3

Thankyou all,

Hope you all sleep well

Goodnight Everyone <3

Sorry - I had a phone call.

Goodnight Tec and Linda <3 <3

Jem - as Tec has said we have seen each other through some tough times. You are always welcome to talk to us and we will be here to support you <3

I am off to bed as well, so goodnight everyone.

I hope tomorrow brings better news Jem

I thought bloomers were underwear Jem

Goodnight Tec, sleep well

Thankyou all for your kind concern. I will let you know if there are any developments..

Please go back to your roll/bun debate!! What about "The Split" ? or the "Bloomer!"
Mind boggles! :-D

Jemima, There are times when it is so hard to understand why things are the way they are. Sometimes things hurt so much it is hard to talk about it, but as has been said, the support, understanding, and care for each other on Sue's thread has helped several of us through the most difficult times over the last four years.
Please continue to post, and should you not feel able to talk about things on an open thread, any one of us would be pleased to talk to you via a PM.
Take care.

Well bed time again,
Enjoy your day Sue,
Sleep well Linda,
Goodnight,
Tec

Goodness, it is dreadful that your daughter can't be with him. Esme started off in the intensive care room, then went to the high dependency room and is now in the special care room, but her parents could sit by her 24 hours a day if they wanted. between certain hours one other adult can visit as long as one parent is with them and the siblings can visit as well

Only my daughter and her husband have been able to see him, he is in a special unit at the hospital, and even she cannot go in there unless they say so.

I have been looking after the other children, who do not know yet. The oldest my Grandson who I have raised does know. He is 14 and has been a big support to me, especially with entertaining his 5 year old sister, who is very, very busy.

Oh Jem, that is so sad, your poor daughter must be so worried. It is an awful feeling when you want to make everything right for them, but there is nothing you can do

Oh dear Jem - how awful for you and your family. Your poor daughter must be in a real state. Have you been able to see him?

I am not an Essex boy - born in Wales - dragged away by my father - returned to Wales by my mother, and lived here ever since - sort of.

In Wales we have bread rolls - and we have buns - see Jemima knows :-)

I don't know where to start really. He may not make it. He has tubes in his throat, stomach, head, infact most places. He cannot breathe without the machine. They have him on morphine. They don't really know the extent of what is wrong, but he should not be the weight he is while being so undeveloped internally. He is jaundiced and he hasn't passed water.

My daughter is very distraught. She had a still- born at the same hospital, disputably through their negligence. She feels that she should have had a Caesarian, but they wouldn't hear of it.

Sorry everyone, I shouldn't have joined in. Sorry Linda I know you are so worried about Esme.

I feel bad cos I haven't told Shaun and the Welsh thread yet,and Shaun is so caring. But you are all so funny on here that I couldn't help myself!

Of course not Tec, they are both northerners unlike you Essex boys

Jemima - I'm very sorry to hear that - my thoughts are with you all. <3


I don't think they threw bread rolls and buns at each other during the war between the Houses of York and Lancaster.

Oh Jem, I am so sorry.

Since this thread started, we have supported each other through some very tough times, so we will always be here for you
