A dear friend of mine informed me that I havent updated my blog for over a month and I am 'slacking!' So with a prick of my conscience I need to rectify my 'slacking'



My daughter has been quite poorly since the beginning of this month, what started off with a trip to the dentist, antibiotics and persistant sickness, still feeling sick she did a pregnancy test which showed a positive result, a trip to our local hospital and an early scan confirmed she is indeed nearly 7 weeks pregnant, so now she can look forward to another 7 months of sickness the poor love.

My middle daughter is well into her pregnancy, I accompanied her to the other local hospital for her 36 week check-up and Im relieved to say all is well.

While waiting for what seemed like half the day at the hospitals a cup of tea was called for so I thought a walk to the nearest WVS for a nice cuppa would suffice. To my extreme dissapointment I discovered the WVS have been thrown out and taken over by the 'Costa' chain of coffee houses, at £1.95 for a cup of spew churned out of a machine and served in a paper cup which Costa purport to be a cup of tea, in my opinion they can stick it where the sun doesnt shine! How greedy are they to make money at the expense of someone needing to visit a hospital ? How obscene that they take advantage of our NHS ? and what about the dear pensioners who are more likely to want a cup of tea? £1.95 is nothing but daylight robbery. Costa Coffee is certainly on my boycott list

So I ask............. Will Mcdonalds be the next chain ? or maybe Burger King? KFC? or Dominos Pizza?
