Mel I have been looking for a Henry Crawford Wheatley
1876 from Wantage brother of my late grandad Percy Newton 1879 names like Kingston Baguise Cheively cannot find out what happened to him.

My daughter is going to try again Mel for a baby but it will mean bed rest and hospital treatment and she is not very happy always put her job first but did only marry a few years ago . Some people have children late no problem and we are not so lucky.

My SIL Took April out today and on the bus April looked at
him and he being Tunisian she said when Jesus made you he must have left you in the oven too long. MY SIL said
yes thats right. April said never mind when your recarted
you can ask Jesus to turn the oven down a bit and you will come out nice and pinkish like me. SIL said I hope so

We bought April a book to help her understand daddy dying. !!!! maybe did more harm than good.

I love Rod Stewart did watch that show I love the cds he did a year or so ago with all the lovely old songs on you can just put it on and relax and listen lovely.

Ready for the hospital all the forms filled in why do they give you so many. I am hopeful of good news anyway if its bad will just shrug it off this year.

I have had to change my e mail address been getting some nasty e mails .

Piers Morgan is very good at interviews I watched Russell Watson and that was sad and I thought Piers was very tactful he can be a bit outspoken sometimes
