Hospital result:

Three days ago, my grandson's partner (six weeks away from producing our second great grandchild) was rushed into hospital diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. I'd never heard of it but it's rather worrying as it can actually be life-threatening. She's been kept in till tomorrow but looks like they caught it in time. She's a lovely kid and now has to attend every three days, for monitoring, but it could all have been so much worse. Result.

I think it is one of the few conditions where it is proven that where smokers are at less risk than non-smokers. I also believe there is no cure other than delivering the baby (though this is based on an old and shaky memory)..

Mrs had this. Went to Bolton Hospital for a check up on the Monday, lad was born on the Wednesday.....at 30 weeks.

Fit and healthy, 8 years on.

my son ranting about his games programming lecturer on fb...


SON: How do you even get to be a lecturer on physics simulation if you don't understand how to use Windows, Google or Powerpoint

Bish: gah!!!

SON: Watching someone type something into a search box that obviously isn't going to get the result they want it to while sitting in a room full of programmers is a surreal and frustrating experience

A while ago I posted on here about the Mrs finding a stray dog at the back of our house. It was a lovely little thing and when we found it wasn't microchipped we were really tempted to keep it. After weighing up all the pros & cons, we decided against it and it went off to Leigh cats & dogs home. It was one of the most difficult decisions we've ever made and we were both really upset about it.

Today at a Cross Country meeting a couple came over chatting to a mutual friend, telling them all about this dog they had adopted a few weeks ago. They live on the other side of Manchester and had been scouring all the NW dogs homes trying to find the right pooch, which to our amazement turned out to be the same dog. They were a lovely family and the bloke takes it out running every day. Knowing that it has a far better life than we could have given it has really made my day.

Harry - what a fantastic story, Fella. I'm absolutely delighted t all worked out so well

[Harry Genshaw]

Cheers Bruce - Happy household at Chez Genshaw this evening

[Gooner Girl]

Thats a lovely story Harry, how is your own dog btw?

[Harry Genshaw]

He's great thanks GG. We know time is ticking for him but right now he's still as daft as a brush and we're determined to enjoy him as much as possible whilst we still have him. When do you take delivery of your new fella?

[Gooner Girl]

Still not sure, hopefully in the next few weeks, depends when his current owners pilot friend can fly him over. Hating the waiting

Did you really need to get him the Bolton gear? Tantamount to child abuse.
