My grandaughter had lovely long red hair, but wanted it cut, my daughter took her to a local hairdresser and what a mess, was nothing or something, so as a treat I took her to mine, and they have styled it lovely, not only is Mum happy, Chloe is, so my good deed for yesterday, and I have promised to take her back every month and it only cost £6, cheap at half the price.

I bet your Granddaughter looks beautiful : ) I have twin nieces that are both red heads .

My Grandson amused me this morning........he is seven years old and was chatting to me about wrestling ( he knows all the names of the current
wrestlers ) he sudden piped up " that Big Show wrestler , he weighs loads of money Nanny "...........well that really had me scratching my head for a few minutes , then I realised what he was saying and asked " do you mean he weighs loads of pounds ? "....." yer Nanny , he weighs loads of money !! ".........it wasn't easy trying to explain pounds and ounces instead of kilos etc to a seven year old...........bet he doesn't try and chat to me about wrestling again............lol

What made me happy this morning that one special person on the boards sent quite a few of us a cyber easter egg through our pm's, was so nice to think she had thought of us and made my day.

Will have to keep this one from my daughter but this morning before my 9 and 6 year old came outside I quickly snuck into the back garden to place small eggs around the garden. You should have seen their faces when they went collecting them and thought the easter bunny had brought them. It was so lovely to see.

My Mum is not as young as she was and is not as mobile as she'd like to be. In the school holidays, she will ride her mobility scooter over to our house and takes care of my son whilst my OH and myself go to work. So today, to thank her, OH, son and me spent all day working in her garden, digging, cutting back the hedges and all the other jobs that she can't quite manage to do on her own. The smile on her face when we had finished made our day!

Hi Gillian Jennifer

I too was one of the lucky few who had a cyber easter egg - what a lovely person to do that, and such a pleasant surprise.

There are some really wonderful people on here - that makes me happy.
