They had such a lovely time and it was so well done - I'll definitely do it again! Tonight I took them to the village bingo. It was a lovely evening and we had lots of fun.
Another thing that has made me feel blessed is my experience yesterday - I went out for a meal with the old Rosemary Conley crowd - we laughed and had lots of fun - and when my friend Julie gave me a lift home she presented me with an amazing hamper - full to the gunnels with everything you need for Christmas - and a lot more beside - plus a box with presents in for the girls and some vouchers for Booths supermarket.
I was absolutely gobsmacked - what a kind and thoughtful thing to do - so amazing - I really am blessed to have such wonderful friends and that includes you lovely people out there who have been so supportive at this tricky time. Thankyou!
No cards today.
Big hugs

To see those sweet smiles, I am sure that has done your heart good knowing that the girls had the best time with Santa and also a bit of light relief for you Rachel because you must be feeling so shattered. An adorable photograph!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special gift to receive, incredible thoughtfulness on the part of your friends and a gift that will take a little bit of strain away from you during the build up to Christmas knowing you have a hamper of goodies to hand.
It speaks volumes of how much they care for you and your family.
Continue to keep you all in my thoughts.

So very pleased Shaun has been stable for a couple of days, a good sign I think. Glad you have managed to find some time to relax and chill out a little, after the hectic worrying time you have had recently. Hope Shaun continues to improve day by day. You certainly have some very thoughtful friends, a lovely thing to do for you. So pleased the girls have had a good time visiting Santa. Take good care of yourself Hun.

Hi Rachel, so glad that Shaun is stable, what good news. Lovely photo of your gorgeous girls, pleased that you enjoyed it. What a lovely surprise, but thoroughly deserved. Take care dear lady, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. XXXXXxxx
ReplyDeleteRachel. It's lovely read that Shaun is stable, hopefully this is the turning point and things are on the up, it's a very long climb but keep thinking positively. So glad you were able to have a great fun day with those gorgeous girls, they have been brave and still they are smiling. What a wonderful thoughtful gift, especially when life is so busy for you, that hamper of goodies will make this time of year easier for you, as food shopping will be well down the to do list. This is what Christmas is all about - thinking of others. Take care of yourself Rachel, and be careful out on the roads, I know you must be doing some miles at the moment. Hazel xx
