I've never heard of anyone winning anything decent on the Euro 

Oh this guy won a massive amount.  I'm off to google to see if I can find out how much it was.

Actually he won 6.4 million but it was on a night that the jackpot was 96 million and was shared between 16 people.

Oh my God.....imagine getting all your numbers up, thinking you'd won £96 million and then the lotto people telling you 15 other people also won and that you were only getting £6.4 million.  It's still a massive amount of money, I know, but it would be quite a big difference.

I don't usually buy one but thought I'd give it a go with all the raffle numbers

I buy them randomly Machel but want to do them more often.  I've been watching too many episodes of The Kardashians and feel that I just NEED to be rich and have houses like theirs    

Me too! 

Cinds, she says hi, and will be around again soon x

Wasn't  sure if  this was the right thread, but since people are asking after ditty in here .. just spoken with her and said I would give folks an update on what;s been happening.

As you know, her mum was very very ill the last time ditty posted and the nurses had indicated she was very close to the end. However , the consultant intervened, saying it was important she get to an appointment that had been arranged to look at prescribing Tarceva, a drug that can lengthen life . He prescribed more steroids ,basically to get her through to the date of the appointment,  and there was a short-term improvement in response . Unfortunately though he then called in the day before the appointment to say she was far too ill for the drug and that the steroids should be withdrawn too . As you can imagine, the family's been through it , trying as best they could to prepare for the worst, then being given some hope, then having that shot down.

Ditty's mum is now back to where she was prior to the steroids- she's very,very ill indeed  and the end of life team are involved. The syringe driver's in place ready to be used and now it's just about making her as comfortable as possible and hoping for as good a passing as possible.

Will keep you updated x

Conversation with my youngest today:

Me: Room cleaning day tomorrow Jamie

Jamie:  I'll not be here, I've got things to do 

Me: What does a 7 year old HAVE to do and where do you think you're going?

Jamie:  I'll be outside playing football

Me:  Well you can go out AFTER you clean your room

Jamie:  Mammy you know I only make it worse.  How about you clean it and I promise I'll stay out of your way until you're done.  Then I'll come in and play xbox for the rest of the day.

  I honestly think he does that 'clean up badly and she'll never ask again' thing that the menfolk are so good at.  

Aww Slinki that's terribly sad for Ditty and family.  Given a wee bit of hope then having it taken away.    

Not a huge amount of people pass through here so maybe you'd like to post it in Dittys thread about her Mum as I'm sure that's where people are more likely to check for updates on how Ditty is doing aswell as how her Mum is  x

Ta Ells, willdo! I'll have a look for it  xx

hahah! he's learned that one early!  

Slinki, thanks for the update, it's very much appreciated.

Thinking of you and yours, Ditty

Yep. Can't say anything more than that. Other than I know Ditty will get through this better than most I know. 

Thanks Slinki. My thoughts are with her and her family.

Going to start a new thread, as Ells pointed out, not everyone comes in here 

It sounds like he's a very bright kid. You should be proud - I'm sure he'll go far.

Do you like my new dress? 

just noticed it?

What does it say ?

heheh!! ! 

I read that in a Sheldon Cooper stylee there  

I love Sheldon.  In fact he is my favourite geek crush.

 I've got a bit of a thang for Leonard too 

Hair crisis!  Have just washed my hair ( lots of it too) and realised I must have  left my comb and brush at the shack this morning when I left .. have tried using the brush attachment on the hairdryer but it won't go through it ! aggghhh!! 

Velcro roller?  I've used one to brush mine when I've been to lazy to go downstairs and get my hair supplies!

Don't have them Ells ! Eventually found an ancient brush and dragged that through the mop.. actually looks better than usual! ! 

Joe.  I know you quite often listen to Jeremy Vine.  Were you listening today?  I was laughing my head off at the "rent a rant" comment.

Reference Ariel Castro. Life without parole for kidnap, rape and aggravated murder...I don't understand 'aggravated murder' How much more can you murder a person???

The definition of aggravated murder is in this link.

We are on the countdown now for the arrival of our first granddaughter. She is due in the next couple of weeks, but I'm hoping she turns up in 12 days time. I bought the cutest dress for her yesterday. 

Also when I'm not on my iPad I'll post the latest pic of our newest grandson.

Saw this and it made me chuckle.

He was born 18 May, so 11 weeks.

That is one cute boy!!!

Thank you.  I love him to bits, can't wait for the granddaughter now.
