Nell and Tess write a little something!

Hi abody, hows it goin? We decided to write a wee poem about our granny:

G is for graceful, like a butterfly
R is for radiant, like a radiating radiator
A is for angelic, similar to an angel
N is for normal, which (i think you'd all agree) she isn't
N is for nimble, cause she is very quick on her feet
Y is for yummy, cause she likes eating sweeties!!

luv nell + tess xxx

The BIG Birthday!!

Just this past summer we all gathered for Marians birthday! She was 39 again!

Mobile Phone Saga

Aye aye everyone!!

The saga of Mum's mobile phone!

She lost it, she bothered the life out of us all, she phoned the train station for lost property, no-one thought it would ever be there, the boy said, "It's here!", and read out some names to check... Auntie Rose, Berta and the rest!!

Mum and I went down to collect it, and now she's the bees knees! Phoning all and sundry! There can be no escape. Who'se got the recharger... hide it, quick... Groan

APOLOGIES

I really must get to grips with the computer and attach the photos properly. Will make this my project for my next post xxxx
P.S. our spelling as a family is atrocious, lets make that a family project (mum will love me Nick, take note)

Well I thought it was about time this blog space saw the adults in this family - hence the photo. Apologies to Clare re the jersey, fabulous knitting, shame about the model !!! Lovely photo of the wee Thom girls - I hope they invent talking photos soon so we can hear Ellens latest phrases - I know this will come back to haunt me, but you all know what I mean. To Nick - yes I do love my mum, always....... Laura and Peter get posting. We have had a much better day today, standing in line in Currys returning a broken XBox, stood for 1 hour. Thank goodness the squits had gone. Love to all xxxx

Christmas Update

Dear all

Just dropped Mum at Sams flat. She spent the best part of 2 days swearing at the many, many sofa adverts on TV.

Here are our email addresses for you all should you (ever) need to get in touch.

Me: Baldieheidit@aol.com

There are still loads of presents under our tree, all for the bairns tho. They'll be here over Hogmanay so I'll get some new photo's then.

Have a good xmas, aabidy!!
