Everyday living

Good afternoon playmates!

Just had a visit from eldest daughter`s partner. She and the kids, oscar 14 and Emma 11, were at their taikwondo class.

Daughter divorced her ex 5 years ago, after an unhappy marriage. I dont need to tell you anymore than that, but divorce was the best thing and we had to pick up the pieces for our girl.

She met Mark a couple of years later and they`ve been together 3 years. He is a good lad, with a good job and loves our family very much.

Anyway, he`s just asked for our blessing as he intends to ask Karen to marry him!

How old fashioned and very sweet!

My hubby shook his hand i gave him a hug.

Then my hubby said, Im not paying you know!

Mark said I wouldnt expect you to.`

Ahh, who ses romance is dead.

Oooerr, I hope she says yes!

Thanks hun. Ill be making a long dress, but Ill have a job finding shoes to match my new bag (catheter fall out) Ha! I quite fancy a fascinator, as sitting in my wheelie with a typical Mother of the Bride huge brimmed hat, will stop me seeing everything! I fancy purple!

Yeh, it is a lovely warm feeling, to be planning what to wear to a wedding.

This time, it will be much esier, as I`m not arranging the wedding.

Dunno if he`s actually popped the question yet.

She will say yes, im sure. If she doesnt , shes bonkers! He`s a pretty good catch!

It`s 2nd time round for both of them and they each had control freaks, who treated them very badly.

They deserve some happiness.

Hi,

What amazing news. I too am re-married and have been for the past ten years, tell your daughter to go for it. My two boys and I have never looked back. Good riddance to all the controlling partners out there.

I am so glad to hear such good news and I am sure you will rock it in purple!

Hi, the happy couple came to see us last night.

The ring is simply fabulous. Not loud and flashy, but platinum with a square of tiny diamonds…just classy and beautiful.

No plans made yet for when, where and who is invited.

This is one wedding where all I have to think about is what I shall wear.

Think I`ve gone off purple in favour of black and red…to match my hair!
