Our local NatWest plays hideous music, really loudly. I really hate going in there, but had promised to pay some money into my son's account.
I was dreading it - but I opened the door and ...silence. I was so excited that for once it was just like a Bank and not Primani!
It made my day.

Ozzie gc's are here. The postman has just delivered mail and the 8
year old looks in amazement. 'That letter just came through that funny thing in the door Mum tchshock'.

My friend and her DH have just visited, not seen her for six months. Her father is sick and she is at his beck and call 24/7 so I was pleased that she could find time to visit. We had champagne and a laugh tchsmile

DD1 is off work and DGS 1 was at. Friends house so she rang and asked if I would like to have lunch with her. Although I see her often it was especially good to have her to myself for a change.

Seeing an old friend and grumbling about our respective ( grown up ) children!! No one else is allowed to grin

Oh grannylnn your post made my day. I do that with my friends sometimes and feel SO guilty. Glad I'm not the only one tchsmile

Well I'm pleased my gastroenteritis isn't any worse, but I wouldn't say I was happy about it. I suppose these things take longer to improve when you are older!

Emptied the basket of ironing! Made a Christmas cake blushwrapped three parcels. Have a G&T in my hand

Our daughter bought us tickets for Cinderella at the London Palladium for Christmas and we have been to a matinee this afternoon and it was amazing!

A beautifully wrapped Christmas gift from my boss....most unexpected.

Spent time with eldest grandson today who showed me a photo of his girlfriend -he is 16 and she is his first girlfriend. He described their visit to Brighton and lunch in a Sushi Bar as well as a visit to the 360i - first love smile

I saw this lovely video of an autistic child in a special school

cornergran Wed 21-Dec-16 20:12:06

Iced the Christmas cake and it looks OK.

Finally shopping all finished ..

My Glaucoma is now stable and I haven't got to go back for 6 months.

Marmight - how lovely, I think that would have produced leaking eyes in me.

grannyactivist Wed 21-Dec-16 23:18:59

Your DD singing I mean Marmight - not the letterbox thing.tchgrin

Marmight Thu 22-Dec-16 07:35:50

There are some lovely Happy moments on this thread.
GA. Both had me 'leaking'. One with emotion, the other with laughter tchsmile. How's your new family member doing? ?

Auntieflo Thu 22-Dec-16 12:19:11

I managed to get a parking place at Tesco, to finish the shopping. DH made me a very welcome coffee when I got home, and he was listening to Andrea Bocelli, who often makes me weepy, not in a bad way though. He has been really poorly, but must be feeling a bit better, hence the music.
But I am feeling extra sentimental since Tuesday, when my eldest grandaughter and her DH visited and gave us the wonderful news that we shall become great grand parents, again next year. Two in one year, greedy, moi! ?

Greenfinch Thu 22-Dec-16 12:39:47

Congratulations Auntieflo. How wonderful to have two in one year.By the way,I suppose you mean our local Tescos.I wasnt so lucky !

cornergran Thu 22-Dec-16 13:19:15

Family are all coming for a day next week. I'm so pleased and so appreciative of all the hard work they put in to get a day off together.

Elrel Thu 22-Dec-16 14:02:45

The lightbulb post on Chat by Granny23. It sent me out to the shops with a smile on my face! ?

granjura Thu 22-Dec-16 14:44:48

gardening all afternoon in the sunshine - with the two dogs ( borrowed for 3 weeks to allow a young family to settle the new baby in).

grannyactivist Thu 22-Dec-16 16:04:34

Marmight my new ? is poorly so we can't collect him from the rescue centre until the vet gives him the all-clear. Looks likely now to be on the 30th as the vet doesn't work over Christmas. I'm so excited, but as he's still a secret from a certain family member preparations are all going on behind closed doors. tchgrin

AlieOxon Thu 22-Dec-16 16:40:47

The light bulb posts came first.
But since then I have had a visit from my littlest grandson!

My ds came home from a three monthly appointment in Durham, to see the optician who monitors the results from my son's special eye mask. His eyesight is still stable! So the good results are continuing.
His life seems to be turning round now, and he is happy at last.
