Hi Red
Loved your news about Mike and Bella. It's nice to see Bella's mum is getting on with her life, but I'm sure Mike will always have a special place in her heart that will never be touched by anyone else.
Great to hear the 'new man' and Bella are getting on so well and interacting in ways that Mike would have loved to have done with Bella.
I wish them all well and hope that it isn't too long before you can see that lovely little girl.
Thanks for the prayers for my Dad he wasn't at church this morning but I wasn't really expecting him to be anyway. I must ring them shortly and see how things are.
Thanks for your compliments with regards to my boys. It's quite uncanny that Mark is holding Matthew as Matthew is the image of how Mark looked at a similar age with the peachy complexion, bonny face and white blonde hair. Mark is complimented on his lovely smile wherever he goes. It matches his sunny personality, such a beautiful boy inside and out.
The 7up T shirt IS Robert because as a child and to some degree now the only drink he could have apart from milk and water was 7up so when I saw the T shirt in Burton's I knew I just had to get it for him as it is so appropriate. He complained when he was packing for London that I hadn't been able to launder it in time for him to take. lol
Robert arrived back ok last night but via a different train journey he had planned as a small plane had crashed into power lines and affected the railtrack at Stafford. Sadly all 3 people on the plane were killed and the rail network was thrown into a quandary.
Robert enjoyed himself in London and even managed a day on Oxford St on Friday. His foot and ankle are pretty swollen though as he hasn't been resting it in a supported position whilst he's been sat around during the day. I'm hoping to persuade him to have his bath/ shower shortly and then I can give his foot a massage to get the fluids moving.
It's so nice to have all the boys back home safe here with me. 
James is full recovered from his cold now and he was the one who collected Robert from the station. I was a little worried as it is the FA cup final and Liverpool were playing at Preston so I thought the roads and station might be pretty busy.
I have had a few hours to myself this afternoon as Wac's serious cold has now developed into a man flu cough! I have teased him about it everytime I've spoken to him today. 
I can tell by his cough though it is less harsh and rasping, and sounds a lot better. He has been in bed all day and has slept for most of it so I think he must have needed it. He said he got up at 1pm to see if I wanted to go out anywhere but by then I'd gone! 
I've been to one of our local mill shops and bought myself a lovely green jacket for my hols next week. I had been looking for a fleece but then I saw this and thought beggar the fleece I want the coat instead. lol It's a lovely shade of green in a shiny silky kind of material, slightly padded in a puffa kind of way but not overly so. It's in the style of a longer version of a safari jacket with a belt tie at the waist and four pockets and a furry detachable collar but the collar will be staying. I also bought a selection of silver frames for various presents for occasions that are coming up shortly.
Now it's time to do my timesheet and email it to work or I'll only be getting basic hours next month if I don't send the proper ones in.
Talking of work I hope you find a replacement for Jacksonville Red that is nearer to home but that's as financially viable for you.
tata for now.
