I Like it UG! If you don't know the downs, how can you expect to recognise the ups? Mind you, there are some times when you have to hit rock bottom before you can start to go up!

Dont it feel a long way to the bottom as your heading there!!

[roitelet]

I do sympathise with all of you who are feeling at rock bottom.

I do know what it is like, having coped with a divorce after 28 years and then to be hit by cancer. The philosophy I have now adopted is that I live for today, and, if it is crap tomorrow will be better.

Hope you all feel better soon

Listening to other peoples problems has well and truly smacked me on the arse and made me realise how lucky I am! DDL has put herself in the doghouse for being such a pain. DDL

Please don't disappear lyndap - I converted my back garden into my own little lottie last year, so I know you are going to enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. Keep in touch. DDL

I won't be disapearing(you dont get rid of me that easily )The vine is the one thing that keeps me smiling.

I spent Monday driving my OH back to work in Bavaria. We crossed the channel from Dover to Calais early morning then drove through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. It was great fun. Didn't know anything about the 'blue Monday' thing until I got back to UK yesterday afternoon. I was a bit blue but that was just coz I won't see OH for 10 days. All in all a good adventure - but so is most of life. Indeed, without the low days you don't know you have had good ones!

Keep smiling everyone Spring will be here soon!

Monday was a bit strained, but that was mainly due to sleep deprivation caused by the Vine's newest Sprout...

I had a baby boy on Thursday 8lb 12oz and a complete surprise as I've got 3 girls and had pretty much convinced myself that the bump was a pink one. We've called him Robin.

So fingers crossed I can get back out in the garden in a couple of weeks. Yay!!

[shirlthegirl43]

Way to go girl!!! That boy is going to be soooooo spoiled - 3 big sisters lucky chap!!

Congratulations on your new arrival - was wondering how it was going as I had noticed you were missing from the vine for a few days!

Enjoy your baby boy - oddly enough my elder son was 16 on Thursday and his name is Christopher.

Congratulations Poledragon. You must be thrilled. Welcome to the world Robin.
