Brooke, so delighted to hear the news that Baby Catcher has been born, and you know your d-i-l will recover much quicker without the section. I'm sure little Cutter is making a great big brother. And thrilled too for your daughter opening up her own place too.

Cosec so glad you are ok -a car can be replaced but a person cannot. I hope your appointment goes well and that your neck pain heals quickly.

I've been busy - my kids have state exams this year so they are studying hard, my mother is on her own now so needs quite a bit of supervision due to her Parkinsons disease and I'm doing my own job fulltime as well. My mother has been assessed as being ready for Nursing home care and she spent a very pleasant week in respite care in September, but she adamantly refuses to go permanently and over here they will not move someone into residential care unless they themselves agree to it. I just hope that she does not have a fall or other accident in the meantime.
