    Sister Futtock @Dovefromabove. That's a name to be careful of.... :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It is indeed @Fairygirl  ... but it’s a name I was used to ... she was a single lady and at one stage we had lived next door to her brother.

    No excuse for that @wild edges. I'd have been having a word with the staff. Or sending hubby to do it. Mums need to rest as much as they can at that point.
    My MIL and her sister turned up to 'visit' when we were all having the little quiet time to get a sleep. Not sure how she even got in. I would have been very happy if someone had spoken to the staff about it - I'd been in labour for nearly a day - I was too knackered at that point >:)
    I think she was already in dispute with the staff at that point. She wanted to leave and they had to keep her there a while until a doctor could sign her off as fit to go home. She was probably being deliberately annoying.

    We banned any visitors except my sister but only because she worked there and would have turned up anyway. Some people though seemed to have their whole extended family turn up despite the maximum 2 visitors rule.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Anyone got a cure for the local cat that keeps cra**ing on my front lawn! I tried repellant spray but the rain keeps washing it away.

    That's the same idea as Facetime.

    Facetime is what you do when you accept the inevitability of growing old but don’t give a sh*t any more. Do it disgracefully. Act as if you are 21. Dump that sensible hatchback and buy a spots car.

    And get rid of the mirrors and don't do selfies and wear purple and a red hat which doesn't go.

    That’s what this chat was about, Hosta said someone was face timing in the ward and being loud and annoying.

    Purple is my favourite colour, which makes me psychologically unstable, apparently. Finding purple clothes is tricky here, it’s associated with death. So that makes me a psychologically unstable, death obsessed 21yr old, soon to be driving a sports car - way to go! Perhaps I will get Obelixx to make me a purple dress, that will get the neighbour’s tongues wagging. Now where did I put that red baseball cap...
