Well done little Aims. You've made your Mum very proud.
Jen, how's things this morning?
I've just txt SiL asking how the night went etc. my brother was supposed to ring me last night but didn't so I assume he just forgot. I really want to ring him but i don't want to pester him either. think i'll leave it a couple of hours and then ring him. I'm going to brum tomorrow (was already arranged but I'm not taking kids now) so ill be there for him Sat/Sun and Mon too is needed

Good news Jen
Phew jen! That is good news, fingers crossed they can keep it under control and both of them safe
Are you ok? You must be worried sick by now

Jen - I hope they can keep her closely monitored and 'safe' for the rest of her pregnancy. I fully understand how you're feeling about your little brother.
My older sister had a really frightening third pregnancy/delivery - the placenta didn't come away - all very touch and go and the baby low(ish) birth weight.
I was 7 months pregnant with my first at the time and she became terrified for me - even called the baby after me (we are known as Big Soozy Woo and Little Soozy Woo - honestly)
The thing is - I was so unbelievably lucky and was disgustingly healthy through all three pregnancies and three pretty good birth experiences (we do so take things for granted).
Glad things are better/brighter this morning Jen
I went with daughter and sil yesterday to look at a new car, they found one they liked but the salesman wouldn't move on the price even though the car hadn't sold in five months. I thought "haggling" was becoming acceptable but he made us feel like scroungers, needless to say he didn't make a sale and they are still looking

Mr Woo loves to haggle - I cringe.

That's brilliant news, Jen.

That's super news Jen. Really pleased for you all

Brilliant news. Fingers crossed they manage to keep her that way until she's full term.

I wouldn't have bought it off him either. Me & Mr C love a good haggle, but I think that's because we run our own business and are used to people doing it to us. The worst are the Gypsies, they'll haggle & haggle and then ask for "ÂĢ20 back for luck"

The car was 10k so there should have been some allowance

Master Cinds leaves school today. I can't believe where that time has gone, it only seems like yesterday that he was starting school. I've been a bit tearful about it today.

Has he decided what he wants to do now that he's left school, Cinds?

Thankfully, things have changed for school leavers now, they can't just leave they have to be in some sort of education, sixth form, college or an apprenticeship. He's going to college to do A levels.
And jeez if I was tearful earlier, you should have seen the state of me when reading the lovely comments his teachers had wrote in his year book.

Good luck to him with the A levels, I'm sure he'll do well.
He sounds like a lovely lad, you should be very proud of him, Cinds (I know you are).
