My three DC all had chickenpox when young. 12 weeks from the first spot on DS1 to the last spot on DD. I thought it was never going to end. Etched on my memory.!
DS2 then went on to have it again at nearly thirty, he was really ill. Had spots on his spots.
Hope your DGS soon recovers, copious amounts of chocolate are a known cure.

Oh dear annsixty, at least they hopefully get a milder version when younger; DD was so ill with it when aged 14, she had spots literally everywhere including in her mouth and under her eyelids, poor girl.
DGS is grumpy but apparently not too spotty.

annsixty Sun 05-Apr-15 13:27:09

Loopymy GS is just over it. No itching never off colour at all. We are now waiting for 4yr old bro to go down with it.

Lona Sun 05-Apr-15 13:02:28

It's lovely here now, and I facetimed my dd and we cheered each other up!
Now I'm soaking my feet (Ha, I know how to pamper myself!!) tbuhmm

Brightening up nicely here in Wiltshire, been gardening all morning and given myself backache.
It's lovely in the sun but decidedly chilly wind when sun goes in.
Leg of lamb in oven, slow cooking with rosemary, red wine and garlic, smells yummy.
DGS has chickenpox poor little chap........not a happy bunny tbuhmm

Just beautiful here now. A perfect day, enjoy everyone.

Happy Easter. I am not doing family dinner until tomorrow as GS's are carting today. So I am having a divine day gardening. Sun trying to shine and wind gone. It is chilly when the wind goes in though.

Good afternoon now. I have ten people arriving at 2pm, the men are going to the local derby match and all the women will be nattering and having coffee and cake and then I will do dinner for the men returning. Here's hoping the GC haven't eaten too many Easter eggs and been sick in the car.
Happy Easter everyone tbusmile

Happy Easter everyone.

I think I left the sun behind in England, tbusad it's complete cloud cover here. Not cold, spring is springing all over the place. In the garden just now I could hear partridges clucking and there are poppies growing everywhere.
DH and I going out to lunch today so I'm planning on hot cross buns for tea.

Lona I hope you feel better as the day goes on. tbusmile

Happy Easter from East Northants where the sunshine is doing its best to break through.

Happy Easter, everyone! Sunny and warm here in Yorkshire, but we're heading down the M1 to Derby for a Northern Soul/Tamla all-day (well, from 4pm) event. Think I'll wear my pedometer to see how many steps I dance! smile. We had the family round on Good Friday this year, as today was booked first by the inlaws.

It's getting brighter all the time, Lona and Ann.

Lona Sun 05-Apr-15 10:08:10

Good morning and a happy Easter everyone.

Misley here on the North Wales border but hoping for some sunshine later. How exciting Elizabeth hope baby arrives safely before the end of the day.

Now off for a walk on the beach and maybe a pub lunch later. tbusmile

Good morning all.
Yes Lona dull again but yesterday turned out rather well. Sorry you are feeling down some sunshine may cheer you up.
How exciting Elizabeth a new baby in the family.
We are going to ex DiL's for a meal today,so nice to spend time with the children, although DGD at 16 will be glued to some piece of technology.

Lona Sun 05-Apr-15 09:52:26

Happy Easter everyone tbusmile
It's another dull, gloomy day here, which reflects how I feel today.

Leg of lamb and lots of veg for later, I'm trying very hard not to be norty!!!

Elizabeth I hope you get your lovely Easter dgc sunshine

Juliette Sun 05-Apr-15 09:33:59

Happy Easter to you all.

Overcast at the moment but hopeful for sunshine later.
Usual suspects coming for tea/dinner/supper., a turkey crown which has been filling up my tiny freezer since Christmas. I bought it as a 'just in case' when no one could make their minds up where they wanted to be.

Cloudy or misty here. I hope it clears up. I really need to get gardening.

kittylester Sun 05-Apr-15 08:54:49

Good morning and happy Easter!

Overcast her in North Leicestershire but that is a good thing as far as the Egg Hunt goes! One year the weather was so warm they started to melt! tbugrin

Enjoy your days everyone! sunshine

Happy Easter everyone.
Not very promising, weatherwise, in Northumberland. We have a foggy morning. There is a starling busy gathering nesting material in my garden. I've never known them to nest near me all the time we've lived here. How lovely.tbusmile
