Saturday we all went to our local Indian Restaurant for a meal, which was nice to see both sons, DIL, and daughter all together. Really don't all get together like this often enough - would be nice to have a monthly meet up. They all came back to ours for tea and coffee. Daughter put the toddler to bed before going to my nephew's girlfriend's birthday drinks (women only lol.) I was invited but as it was in town I wasn't that keen - as it can get a bit rough on a Saturday night. If she had picked a local pub I would have probably gone.
Sunday was a quiet day at home with just me and OH, as daughter went to the arboretum with the toddler and her boyfriend. Had a lovely day here - it was quiet and peaceful so I caught up on the housework. OH took the grandson (8) to the cinema in the morning which was nice, and we are both taking the eldest granddaughter (4) to see Father Xmas next week.

Snow in the Cairngorm Mountains Scotland
|
Today I managed to find an old friend on Facebook that emigrated to Scotland a few years back. Was thinking it would be nice to go to Scotland and show the toddler what snow looks like as we haven't had any here for about 3 years - well not enough to make a snowman anyway lol. Can't believe she is still there living in the countryside as she was a definite city person here and always out and about in town. The health service where she lives is far superior to here as her kids needed an operation before she left and were operated on in Scotland in 3 weeks for their hearing problems - here it was a 6month waiting list.
Still on the subject of Facebook I read something truly nasty on there today. On a selling site a single mum asked if anyone had a spare Christmas tree and decorations so she could make it nice for her 2 children and she didn't have any money. Well people donated a tree, decorations, toys for the kids etc all free to help her. Turns out she was selling an iphone 7 on another site for £400 and was rude to a lot of the people saying things had to be brand new and a certain colour. Also her 2 children changed to 3 children and she started calling people who questioned why she only wanted new things fat pigs!! Obviously a scammer wanting to sell the stuff and not in need at all. Someone even gave her a karaoke machine for the kids and various toys. They all feel really used and so would I. Some people have no morals. This sort of thing will prevent people helping genuine cases asking for help and suffering real hardship. So sad really I hope she can be prosecuted for it as I think it is fraud.
Bottom line is that Facebook often does lots of good things eg finding lost pets, lost people, connects friends and shares lifestyles but there are some very dodgy people on there so never believe all that you read.
Bye for now All the best x
