OH thinks she is upset because her ex-DiL hasn't let them see their grandson since last summer. Personally if that happened to me I would tell my neighbour to mind his/her own business and if felt that strong to phone the police see what they would do. I dont think they would do anything under the circumstances and would understand the actions you took. Also it would be the last time I would speak or have anything to do with the neighbour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is upset because I let my niece leave her 10 year old daughter with us when she and her husband went for an appointment to discuss the next stage of her cancer treatment. Nan & Gramps were also at a hospital appointment. Dilemma: Should I have said no and forced them to take her with them? Absolutely not Josy. A cancer consultation could have been a very traumatic experience for a 10-year-old. We have to remember there are always exceptions to every rule and compassion wins out every time. I would tell your neighbour that I hope he/she is never put to the same test themselves. Well done you. Best wishes. Jane.x 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just catching up tonight. Hope you are feeling better after all of the messages of agreement re your actions re taking care of your niece. Good decision - it is easy to judge eh ?! To us, if you can't comment on the actions of others until you've walked in some one else's shoes. It is easy to watch from a distance and criticise. Safe to say we won't invite your neighbour to our Whitebridge Wines catch up 😉 Hoping that the consultations went well for all involved.

pete14 Posted February 25, 2021 #16235 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Ah well, last night of being 64. Not sure the Beatles got everything right in their song. Still got some hair (longer than usual), did receive a Valentine and the odd bottle of wine or seven.Not much point renting a cottage on the Isle of Wight regardless of whether it was too dear though. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy 65th for tomorrow Pete! Funny you should mention the Isle of Wight. I’ve just looked out of interest at the cottage we use there and it’s sold out until November and prices for next year have gone up about 20% since we booked our 2022 dates a few months ago.

Rare SarahHben Posted February 25, 2021 #16239 Share Posted February 25, 2021 We were due to have a week in Disneyland Paris with the family this September (originally due last September) but I postponed it again yesterday until next year and managed to book an apartment in Devon for a week this September. I was surprised that the prices were still reasonable but availability was very low. I tried to book 2 apartments as there are 7 of us but one went before I could finish the booking. Daughter, son in law and grandson will now be staying in posh caravan 5 minute walk along the prom from us. Means I won’t be able to do the 6am baby, or toddler as he’ll be then, shifts this year 😊 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicki-k Posted February 25, 2021 #16244 Share Posted February 25, 2021 We have booked a week in Shropshire and a week in the Cotswolds, I had a look tonight to see if the prices have increased but can't tell as one is completely booked throughout the summer and the other one only has odd nights available. Just hope things go to plan and we can all have a great holiday this year but whatever happens it's nice to have a holiday to look forward to that has a reasonable chance of not being cancelled. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted February 26, 2021 #16248 Share Posted February 26, 2021 We’re waiting for our own caravan to be completed and delivered and installed on site. It was due to be 1 March when we ordered it back in September but the time has slipped a little. No real problem yet. I haven’t heard when caravan sites might be reopened but it won’t be next week, for sure. Watch this space It’s the most beautiful morning here. There was dawn light flooding in when I got up at 6.15 and the forecast is sun all day. Have a lovely day everyone 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
