Dorset I worry about my daughter all the time - and I was upset when my oldest grandson broke up with girlfriend who my daughter was close to! Things change, but sometimes for the better.

I've been at a painting and drawing class (first time) this morning, and now have half a drawing of a plant....I am very slow and out of practice!

Tears again - in a good way. All the hugs, kisses and words of support from other GNers.

Happy Birthday Marmight, I would have loved to be somewhere warmer but juggling childcare didn't allow it this year.

Agus Mon 12-May-14 11:45:07

Enjoy your hols with DD and family Marmight and especially the sunshine. The weather here at the moment is pants grin

Marmight Mon 12-May-14 11:35:48

Mutual birthday wishes Harri grin birthday3 and thanks for all the other birthday greetings. I am in Spain with DD3 and her family which is lovely and helps me to forget I am a year older, although as it is an even number, it sounds less old/younger than the previous one!

Grey day!

Happy Birthday harri and Marmight birthday3

Rotten news for your DD Dorset. It hurts us almost as much when this happens to our DC (hugs)

Don't try doing too much too soon Bella it's not worth it and nothing is that important. You health comes first.

Have a pleasant day everyone

Good morning all and Happy Birthday to Harri and Marmite birthday3

dorset you are bound to be upset. (((hugs))) for you and your daughter.

Bella be kind to yourself, don't try to do too much. brew

It's warm already here this morning and was very hot over the weekend. I'm having trouble deciding what to pack for a visit to England so I phoned DD1 to ask what the weather's like. "Cold" she said, "and very windy. Tomorrow is going to be cold and the next day is going to be wet... and cold." So I revise my packing, thermal layers and my warm fleece.

So if there is an unexpected heat wave in the UK in the next couple of weeks. It's because, yet again, I've packed the wrong clothes. grin

dorsetpennt; I was only thinking back this morning to when my son split from his long time girlfriend. Of course you're feeling your daughters pain sad [and it's always a terrible shock when you get a phone call at a time that always means trouble of some kind, which wouldn't have helped]. Just use the strong shoulders of fellow gransnetters to support you flowers. Yes kitty; it's very grey isn't it sad.

Hope you feel a bit better, Bella. It's raining in S Staffs, grey and miserable. Housework and washing machine beckon after a lovely few days with family here. Plus have to empty pantry 'cos am having new burglar alarm fitted tomorrow and they want to put the control panel in there. Always a voyage of discovery, emptying my pantry...... Enjoy Monday everyone.

Sunny today. Had to be somewhere at 9.30am but my car will not start so I am waiting for the RAC. What more could I want on a Monday!

Lona Mon 12-May-14 09:19:00

It's rained so much here in the last couple of hours that surely there can't be much left up there!

Good morning, grey and damp here but I don't care because DH is taking me out for lunch. It is my birthday and I share it with Gally so a very Happy Bithday to you Gally flowers

Awoke to lovely sunshine. Looking forward to my trip up to the grandchildren {DS's} on Wednesday when my daughter phones at 8.30am. I know there is a problem as she never calls from work. Her boyfriend dumped her over the phone last night.
She is coming up for thirty-five, has a very good job but just doesn't seem lucky in the 'Mr Right' stakes. She's been with this guy for 6 months, I had a few issues with him myself, of course never said anything to her. I was happy that maybe at last this would be it, settling down, home, babies etc.
Am I silly to be really upset about this? Is it typical that we worry about our daughters more like this? I know she wants to settle down but is just unlucky. I feel quite tearful about the news. Silly old moo.

Morning just come back on here for some witty chat and company really. I play a bit of golf and do a bit of volunteering but otherwise retired nurse manager with too many opinions. Have a lovely rain free day whatever your doing.

Silverfish Mon 12-May-14 08:39:42

morning everyone, guess what its freezing, dull and drizzly in the Newcastle area, again. whats new !!!

Brendawymms Mon 12-May-14 08:24:38

Bright sun this morning in East Sussex but such a cold fierce wind yesterday. Charity shop this pm, it's always lovely to see the regular shoppers there.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all.

Grey and quiet breezy her in N.Kent.
No plans for today apart from the dreaded housework.

PRINTMISS Mon 12-May-14 07:53:47

Good morning, bright sunshine this morning, and very warm through the windows. The wind has dropped, thank goodness. Sunshine and showers promised (easier to type than say!), and not a lot planned, except a visit to the library and if fine a walk along the front. Enjoy your days.

NfkDumpling Mon 12-May-14 07:42:49

Wet. Very wet. And still not really day light. Another day for decorating methinks.

Bellasnana Mon 12-May-14 07:18:19

Good morning. Another lovely sunny day here in Malta. Am trying to get up slowly, but am still feeling lousy.

Hope you all have a happy Monday sunshine

Aka Mon 12-May-14 07:04:32
