I had very much the same experiance with my Becca when she was that age...........pulls at the heart strings for sure. What birth sign is your Rach ?

Am i to late for last orders????

*bangs on door*

Could well be, Amanda.

I've only the one, and so much do I recognise the emotions behind the bravado,

Rachel's come through the other end now - Uni finished, very happily married and in a job she loves.

But I still remember passing the playground when she was only about seven Loads of kids playing together and there was my Rach - in her red duffle coat - all alone, with her mouth going, obviously telling yet another story. To herself. She didn't look a bit lonely - but a whole lot alone.

She's always been fiercely proud and independent, but only mum knows the demons she's faced.

Love to you and yours.

Good night

Sue

Your Rach sounds much the same as mine Sue.....mine is full of bravado but I know what a bundle of emotion she is underneath the facade.
I think it's being a Mum that pulls at ones heart.I know I never settle properly until all my " chicks" are accounted for............lol

Sweet dreams Sue...........and I hope the football all goes you way tomorrow.

Funny how some are borne all-knowing, Amanda

Perhaps it comes with the name? My Rachel's always been old way beyond her years, but a whole lot more vulnerable than you'd expect, if that makes sense........

Funny how that mixture of independence and vulnerability has the capacity to pull at your heart?

anyway, must off to bed shortly. There's this packing stuff to do in the morning. And NUFC to watch doing serious damage to the Mackems.

Rachael was born old I think.........several people ie mid-wife and nurse said on first seeing her "she's been here before". There really is no holding her back
and as she is no fool I personally don't see the point in trying to hold her back.
Meg is the younger of our two ( being almost 14 ) ,
my eldest is Rebecca ( mother of the Grand childen )
and then there is Luke ( 21 this year ) and the one who will most likely want to stay at home.Having been bought up with three sisters he is in no rush to get into any relationships.........lol

Mine are lit - and guttering.

They never had any glitter - nor were they a present from a daughter.

Lol Sue

She didn't bring me back a Donkey.........I have two sculpted candles graceing my mantle piece , with glitter and everything on them..........lol

Whoops. I didn't realise Rachael was only 15. Now I understand your reticence on the Calella thing, I'd somehow got it into my head that she was older.

How old is Meg? Is she the eldest?

Lol Sue

Lol Sue.........my Rachael has always been somewhat forward in her learning..........she is still only 15. The house has been a so peaceful the past 10 days.It was lovely to get her home . This morning she and Meg headed off at each other , moody moody girls............lol

I guess I stacked the odds.........four kids.....one is bound to be the stay at home one...........I doubt I'll ever get the "gone" thing totally.
Amanda xx

Know what you mean. Always the urge to hurry things up.

It's like that with children too, Amanda. Remeber - I wish Rachel would walk/talk/go to school/go to senior school/get a boyfriend/go to Uni

And then, turn around, they're gone.

Such is life!

Love Sue

I'm alright.............didn't do any gardening in the end , the plants might have been calling me but the temperature said bu**er off every time I wandered out there..........lol
It's lovely in the greenhouse but the tempation to poke about at seeds that arn't up yet was getting to me so I gave up and came on here.........lol

Well, I've bought the bag. There's currently nothing in it but the receipt. But tomorrow we pack. Early. Cos we've NUFC v Dunderland on the tele at 1.30. Not to be missed.

How's you?

Lol Sue

Indeed Sue............lol I thought the watcher at the water when I saw the thread.

It was good to see him back.Think he is off singing for his supper this evening............lol

So are you excited about the off to sunnier climes then ?............got enough shoes packed in your baggage ?

Hi Amanda

Hope you've not been waiting too long - got called away.

One bottle of sheep's head with organic wickedness coming your way.

Has there been a Watcher in the Water around recently?

Lol Sue

Hello Sue...........can I have a bottle of wicked organic Sheep Broon...........please.........lol

(Opens doors to the strains of "Been a Long Time, Been a Long Time, Been a Long, Long, Long Lonely Time"

We have Ice Cold Fosters
We have Black Sheep on draught
We have organic wine
We have bottles of Broon

Does anybody have a Wicked side?

Lol Sue

Out of habit - it's time for turning in, but one last bevvy at the Mad Bar. Slurps a glass of Bolly (for Whirls), a snifter of Camembert and Camomile (for my mate Amanda) and robs the till (for the nameless one)

Night All.

Lol S

If there's a man without a name out there watching - what price King Kev and tenth place, now?

Ps - was watching Soccer AM today and realised I'm in Barcelona on the very day Barca play Man U. May manage a place in the Noucamp.

PPS - if Fulham go down, who wants Jimmy Bullard?


Lol Sue

catch you later
