Just out of interest, Banks is known locally as Bonks. Don't know why, but that is what it seems to have always been known as. Probably a dialect/accent thing. My OH still refers to it as "on Bonks", as does his mother. |

Were the people who lived there bonkers? (as opposed to Nutters?) |

No vodka - just getting being daft out of my system before my grandchild arrives. I don't mind embarrrasing my children, after all they did it to me often enough. But this is different. |

I thought the grandchild was a secret, you just announced it to the world! |

Not a secret from today. Now it's other gran's back from holiday and she knows, I can tell anyone and everyone I like. I promise to become very boring on the subject. |

I've been a boring grannie for the last 11 years, it's super, much better than being a Mum, it's like being a Mum but without all the hard work and responsibility, you have lots more time and far more patience. Enjoy.  Stephanie. |
