Hi Ellen,
Firstly, congratulations on your new grandaughter. My children are teenagers but I remember when they were born, my parents were thrilled to bits and just doted on them. I remember them saying being grandparents was brilliant because they had all the fun but weren't as stressed out as new parents.

Just to let you know, I have passed your message on to Yo who I keep in touch with away from the forum. Like you, I am saddened that she decided to leave the forum for good this time and know that she won't be returning. Last time she left, she was taking a break but this time, she has deleted her membership completely such is the strength of her feelings about what happened last week. I probably won't be around much either as I too am infuriated at some, in my opinion, wrong decisions that have been made. I know I'm not the only one who has been left with a bad taste in their mouth following the whole business.

Hope you and your family are well.
Take care, Fi xxx

Lovely to hear from you Ellen! It's a wonderful feeling being a gran isn't it? I never thought I would love anybody as much as my children but I do!
Life must be very hectic for you now with the family taking over the house. I hope you aren't run too ragged and you manage to take time for yourself.
I'm ok ~ still looking after mum which is getting harder by the day but I cope...just!
How's your mum doing? I hope she's well.
I miss you posting on the forum. Keep in touch

Hi Ellen,
I'm from Bangor in N Ireland. My son moved to Glasgow 3 years ago to be with his girlfriend. She's N Irish too, but she's studying at the RSAMD in Glasgow.
I didn't know there was a tour bus! That's something to do the next time I visit. My favourite places in Glasgow are Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery and the Glasgow Necropolis- both worth a visit (or two!)

I'm so jealous of you living in Glasgow. My older son lives in central Glasgow and I love visiting yor beautiful city.

I am very well thank you. Well I had too, they are truely beautiful pictures and you look stunning. Your hubby is very handsome too xxxxx Your dress looked stunning xxxxx :heart:
I am being very careful with the online guy, he is very sweet and very honest. He loves his job (funeral director) very much, which shows through very clearly. He has said he wont ask me for my number, home address or mobile number until after we meet, he said he will ask me, when he comes home for abit next year, if I want to meet him somewhere I feel safe, if I want too then thats fine, if not he said he wont be upset with me, he said he would never ask me to wait for 2 years it would not be fair on me. From the messages he gives me, he seems very honest and friendly. I am being carefull though xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi
I was going to message today but got your instead lol.
I wondering about baby and how your big day went. Are we going to be seeing piccies? I am so glad that everything went great. I bet you looked amazing too.
Everything is fine my end, having abit of an online thing with someone on facebook, he is very nice but I cannot meet him til next year cause he is in Australia working, he is a funeral director, and embalmer. He is 2 years younger than me and very honest, naturally honest, he answers any questions honestly, and is very sweet to me. I only hope he remains that way with me.
It seems life it treating you nicely. Did you have a honeymoon?

lol Hi Ellen,



I have to use 2 different browsers/servers whatever they are to post a pic and it's a wee bit time-consuming. Good job I'm patient...

Have a great weekend.
Lots of love, Yo. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Ellen,
I've just had a look at your gorgeous wedding photos, absolutely beautiful! You look beyond stunning, and your chap does you proud. Really lovely piccies, thanks for telling me about them. I'm guessing that the pretty girl is your daughter? Also lovely. Looks like it was a fabulous day for you all, and I'm so happy for you. I wish you long lives, health and happiness.
Take care.
Lots of love, Yo. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Ellen,
How lovely to hear from you. I've thought about you often in my time away from here and hoped you were okay.
I'm pretty much the same, back and forth to the hospital, having bits chopped out and taking all kinds of meds.
Congratulations on the wonderful news about the baby girl expected in December, that's really lovely and I bet you're so excited. I couldn't be happier for you, and I wish your daughter and her wee girl health and happiness.
Lots of love to you, Yo. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hope your wedding plans are coming along a treat xxxxx

How are the wedding plans going sweetie?
xxxxxxx

Well done to you both! I hope you have a fab wedding day and many happy years after ) XX

Congratulations on your wonderful news! Delighted for you and expect you to be a gorgeous bride. xxxxx

Just read your post on Yo's thread (which she can't see as she has left on sabbatical) and will be sure to tell her your wonderful news! Many congratulations from me ....how fantastic! (Now, what took you both so long?????) xxx

Hi Ellen,
Good to hear from you. Yo needed a break from here so she could concentrate on herself more. She's just finished a full course of chemo so is at home resting from that. I speak to her very often so will of course pass on your kind words.
Take care.

oh a wedding how exciting. Have you a date set?

The fella has gone and I like someone else. He is younger and yes we have kissed. Nothing else to report on that one.

So glad that your mum and dad are ok. I hope your dad manages to achieve his goal. It must be worrying for you with your mum though.

xxxxxxxxxx

Hello Ellen

Popping in to see how you are. Not noticed you around for a while.
I hope everything is ok with your mum. Is your dads knee better now?

Love

Helen xxxx
