Yes Again :-)
Posted Jun 8, 2009
I'm a granny again, Milly Mai, born this afternoon at about 15:15 (dad wasn't watching the clock) weighing 6lb 8oz. Four weeks early by caesarian.
Mom's doing OK in spite of having to have an emergency hysterectomy.
We were warned about the possibility of this some time ago and in fact K was fortunate not to have to have one after the birth of Ford as both in both pregnancies she was placenta praevia.

Got a phone call this afternoon from the vascular surgeon's secretary, they've had a cancellation for the ultrasound I need on my legs to check on the blood flow. 
If you see a blur whizzing around the Bolton area tomorrow morning, 
it's only me rushing from the Royal Bolton Hospital to the centre of Bolton for my medical for the ESA I'm forced to claim

Toe Dipping...

back into h2g2, it's been a rather busy 18 months or so, in that time I've:-
had the Grannymobile written off been made redundant again 
had a nervous breakdown recovered from above lost 2 stone developed type 2 diabetes
not in chronological order, but enough to be going on with 
On the plus side:- I'm going to be a granny again in the summer

Where Does the Time Go?
Posted May 30, 2007
Almost two months since I updated this 
in that time I've:-
1. Got a new job slightly less cash but the same amount of holidays and a lot nearer home so saving money on diesel It's in a solicitors so boring it's not It involves some audio-typing, and those of you who know me know that I tend to wear my reading glasses chained to my neck (it's the only way I can find them ). This has led to some interesting things hitting the floor when I get up from my desk still wearing the headphones - and as for getting the two cords tangles up in my bracelets ...
2. We've said goodbye to my Auntie Suzie, she died peacefully a fortnight ago at the age of 82. Although technically she was our second cousin, her mother died when she was a few months old and Auntie Suzie was brought up by my grandmother and Dad looked upon her as a sister. She had a long and happy marriage, my Uncle died 15 years ago and she missed him greatly. They didn't have children and she'd outlived most of her friends; it was gratifying though to see people she'd worked with and trained at the funeral. Afterwards, my brother and I got talking about our family history and between us we've uncovered a couple of skeletons in the cupboard we think. Little brother has got as far back as the 15th Century, only another 4 centuries to go and then we're back in France 
We still haven't got to the point where the final y in our name changed from an i. He has found a connection to the Inns of Court in London, quite ironic when you think of where I'm working at the moment.
