Congratulations!

You may know that your job is to spoil the grand daughter rotten at every
chance. It's in the grandparents' manual.

Damn right. I have Ray's grand daughter, to whom I am honoured to be
Grammy, and have practised the spoiling factor a LOT on her. I cannot tell
you what a joy that is. We have a mutual understanding. Whenever she
deeply, deeply desires something, she tells Grammy and wherever possible,
Grammy delivers the goods. But the goods can't be TOO ephemeral, as in "my
best friend has......."
My aunt - her step Great Aunt gave her a skirt for Christmas which has not
been removed other than for sleep. She is passionate about it and while its
accessories may vary, the skirt remains. It's a pink and brown check with
small, frivolous pleats for any of you who may wish to please the small
girls of your family. Eventually, her mother is going to have to pretend
the cat got it, just to get it away for washing!

Today is the first time since goodness-knows-when that I've looked in
to see whether things have settled down. This is the very first
message I've read and I'm delighted to hear the news. Congratulations
and please pass on my good wishes to Will and his wife. Bet you can't
wait to hop over there and see your new g/daughter.

David

A double bonus. Baby and Dave Poole alive and kicking.
What happened with the orgy between the sikki and basjoo nanas -did you get
a result?


Er, no. I think the baby is just a little to young for that. ;-)

I feel sure she will. There's a determined little chin there already. ;-)

Please forgive me if I don't reveal that here, Pam. It is no reflection on
you or your posting here, just a natural caution, given what a couple of
posters here have done to my family.

Congrats to the proud grandmother, who naturally must have done all the
work!
A plea on behalf of the babe from another birthday-near-Christmas babe
g.
At future birthdays, please separate the two events. Christmas babes
suffer
badly by such things as: getting birthday presents in Christmas wrapping,
a
single card saying "Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday", one present, and
just a blurring of the two. My son also has a near-Christmas birthday
(Christmas Eve - you would think I would have known better!) and I was
always
very careful with him to have a birthday with birthday cake, birthday
wrapping paper etc, quite separate from Christmas. He did get very
confused
when small and asked why there were no candles on the Christmas cake since
he
had had candles on his birthday cake the day before, and after all it was
Jesus's birthday, wasn't it. I found it a difficult philosophical
question
to answer, especially after several Christmas drinksg.

a friends child was born on the 25th Dec. they celebrate his birthday in
March. what a great idea. they chose the day he was christened as his
"birthday".

congrats to sacha and family btw

LOL And why is grandmother emotional? It's much easy being a
grandmother than actually pushing the wee sprog out into the cold hard
world.

Congratulations to you and the young family.

the years, I shall be grateful for your written confirmation that I am

Why is Granny emotional???? I'll tell you why, my nails have just
started to grow - Louis is now 22 months old. Emotional, me??? Ask
the hospital staff where Louis was born. I delivered him all by myself
including separating him from his mother, my daughter. I didn't
realise I was crying until my daughter told me the baby was fine and so
was she!

So Granny Sacha has an emotional right to be emotional, we have a
vested genetic interest and I have a feeling that Sacha would have
pushed the little sproglet out herself if it meant that her nails could
be given a respite.

were awkward but didn't think you would stoop to anything like that.

Nah. "Voices in her head" I think you will find that SHE has said I have
done things to her family.

You won't get a response from her, she has realised I am too powerful for
her and has killfiled me!! A case of "What the eye doesn't see" and "There
are none so blind ..........." etc etc etc :-))

A perfect example of the power of killfiling. The troll is left squirming in
his own little trough of self-pity.
Well done everyone!

Yet again, June, you attribute FAR too much importance to yourself. All you
have done to me, personally, (on group) is to suggest that I'm a 'kept
woman'. That will do to be going on with in terms of sheer nastiness and
bitching (and inaccurate at that) but no, funnily enough and yet again, I
was not thinking of JUNE HUGHES when I wrote the above. You do not figure
in my thinking very often, to be frank.

Oh yes! On the morning I knew she was 'on the way', I ate half a banana for
breakfast. I couldn't force myself to eat the other half for love nor
money! I should get that emotional more often. ;-)
One of these days Judith, I'd love to get the full story of Midwife Granny
Judith!
