Beautiful family Jan, you deserve to feel proud of them.

Ah thanks Molly - I know it must irritate some to have them shoved down their throats though!

FGS!!! Went to fridge to get a cherry tomato and came out with a chunk of cheese!!! .. it's a holiday mode thing I know it is. It'll be good I have to go to work tomorrow as usual - p'raps that'll make me realise I'm NOT on holiday!! xx

Just catching up here........there's a tapas restaurant that I go to over here that does a chocolate fondue for pudding and serves it with shortbread fingers and strawberries! I used to go there quite a lot when I worked (cos it was round the corner from the office) and it was very hard to resist....

Ps Jan, you're little grandsons are gorgeous, look like a heap of mischief - just like boys should be

Do you have 4 kids and 4 grandchildren?

 

[JanD]

I have 2 sons who have 2 sons each (2 of whom are adopted into my eldest's civil partnership - the biggest 2 in the photos) a daughter who is about to move into a flat with her girlfriend so no offspring as yet - and I'm guessing that'll have to be a turkey-baster jobbie when the time comes coz the DOES want kids :giggle: and a step-daughter who has a son. You'll have heard the term 'blended family'? I think ours is more blended than most xx

Blended? More like liquidised! But a very modern family and not that unusual these days.....I think it's great that gay couples can have kids now, I would imagine that in years gone by it must've been hideous to want a family and not be able to have one. Being gay doesn't mean that you don't want kids, it's people like me who hate the little bu88ers.......well not all of them! Just prefer cats
