Here ya go dubstarr!
Happy belated Mother's Day to you!
Didn't get to see my own mother as she is in a home and had an awful day yesterday.
She was vomiting all day.
Was on the phone to her a couple of times and all she did was cry down the phone.
Not good.
My Th(ok, more than th to me) is that she's in great form today and when I told her I'll see her as soon as I can she said "do,it'd be nice to see you".
I replied it'd be nice to see you too.
She then goes (ala Bruce Forsyth) "Nice to see you,to see you nice" and start laughing.
Some relief to hear her back on form.
Edit: And I'm in the wrong thread once again :mad: :pac:
Thanks for the choc,it will go down a treat:D
I know Mothers Day is so hard especially when you cant visit.
My own mother died 20 years ago,so i would normally go to the grave0 -

The little plastic ring left on the neck of a plastic bottle of milk when you break the seal, They haunt me. I forget to put them in the bin because I am putting milk into my coffee then they fall on the floor and take on a life of their own. I have found them all over the house where they should not be. I went to Lanzarote last year and when I opened my bag to unpack, There was a milk ring perfectly placed on top of my clothes looking at me.....Ahh Lads ffs !

***a little favour ?***;)
please please please snip these little plastic rings before you bin them. They are lethal to birds, wildlife and fish if they get out into the environment (blown out of bins, picked up by birds from dumps, ending up in drains and washed out to sea and beaches). I have seen many pictures of dead birds especially, strangled by these rings. Snip snip snip. Thanks

I know this is beyond TA but just read about Ryanair not flying for April and May. My parents are in lockdown in Spain and it looks like they will now miss the birth of their first grandchild due at the end of May. I know it is unreasonable, but I am so annoyed with them for not coming home when they had the chance. Now they are essentially sitting ducks while the situation gets a hundred times worse around them :mad::(
They could have come home when we decided to shut down all schools etc. here. At that point it would have been a measured risk though I would argue still in their favour. If they contracted it on the way, at least our healthcare system is not saturated and they would be treated. In Spain, who knows what will happen. The elderly are being abandoned in nursing homes. Plus they will have no family around to help them. What did they think was going to happen

You poor thing. It's tough being without family with a new baby and that's at the best of times. I moved recently to a place where I don't know anyone apart from my parents in law (who are wonderful, but over 65 and so in the vulnerable group), and my husband works in a hospital. I've a little guy here just under two weeks old, and from one day to the next I see my PIL (through the window, so they can see the baby), and my family via video calls, for which I'm grateful, they're a long, long way away from me. My husband is missing out on getting to know our newborn. And this is going to be my life for a long time yet.
The thing to focus on is that no one is sick, the bills are being paid, and you and the baby are safe. It's hard not to be resentful, it's certainly not how I thought we were going to start life as a family either, but there's still a lot to be grateful for. I hope your parents keep themselves safe while this thing rages around them, and best of luck with the baba. Take good care of your mental health when he/she arrives too, it's a vulnerable enough time without all the added anxiety and stress of the situation today.

That sounds very tough I know, what a world to be bringing our babies into 
Even my mother said that jokingly when it all kicked off "trust you to have a child in the middle of a pandemic!" :pac:
I know we are lucky in lots of ways - OH and I can both work from home and our jobs are safe, so we have a little cocoon going on. I know that so many people are not so lucky, and I can't imagine having someone on the front line or having an income reduced to 200 pw trying to pay mortgages etc.
I hope that someday soon we can all go back to normal (or get used to a "new normal") and trivial fights and squabbles will seem unnecessary. The trivial annoyances shall prevail though!
Related TA the travel system arrived today. Usually "the DPD man" only brings pet food and treats, and the little face on my dog broke my heart when she realised there were no treats, only baby stuff. OH had to give her a ride up and down the hallway in the buggy to make up for it! TA spoilt diva dog... 0 -

TA at misleading baby stuff!
Before the sky fell, I bought a stroller from a company called "Baby Jogger". It was described as an all terrain stroller for active lifestyles and I bought the top of the ranger Baby Jogger stroller, which was called, iirc, Baby Jogger GT. I was quite excited about this, picturing myself getting back into jogging asap because I have forked out for a BABY JOGGER stroller, so I can jog. With my baby.
The delivery van came and out it was dragged and just as I was about to shut the door on the driver, I noticed something written on the side. "Not Suitable For Jogging". Luckily I got it back on the van before he left!
TA at buggies called Baby Jogger, that are not suitable for jogging with your baby. 0 -
