What have you been doing today?

[*suzanne*]

DS's assembly this morning then work for a few hours, a quick trip to the shops and now home to tidy up and get organised for dinner etc and I can't believe it's Thursday already the days are just flying by 

[Amy :-)]

I know what you mean suzanne, I'm sure it was only Monday the last time I checked

[judydawn]

Today I loaded up the car with cans and bottles (and DH) then headed off to the recycling centre.  $75 to add to my grand-children's bank a/c's.  Called into a fish and chip shop on the way home, bought our lunch and continued on down to the beachfront to eat it.  We were going to have a BBQ but that will be tomorrow now.  Pruned and filled the green bin this afternoon so that's me done for the day.

What a good nanna you are JD. $75 isn't to be sneezed at.

[*suzanne*]

Busy day Judy and glad you loaded up Dh too

[judydawn]

Over the years it certainly has added up Michele.  We don't have many bottles etc ourselves but I bring copious quantities home from DD's and even our neighbour brings their supply over as well.  It's a big job squashing all the cans and flattening the pep bottles so that I can get maximum amount in the car but when my little GS is here fortnightly, he helps me - he's a great little worker.  One particular day he wanted to do them but it was well into the 30's that day so I wasn't keen at all.  We did our usual thing though and before long he asked me why I was going so fast - my answer, so we can get this job done and I can go back inside where it's cool    I've taken him to the recycling centre too so that he can see what the next step is in this recycling chain.

Suzanne, it's harder to load DH than the cans.

[Amy :-)]

How lovely of you to do that for you grandkids Judy

My grandma on my dad's side opened up bank accounts for my brother and I when we were younger and regularly put money in them for us. But when mum left my dad, grandma shut down the bank accounts and kept the money. I've never understood why she did that, we were still her grandkids

[Halex]

Amy, the money was gifted to you 2, thats just mean

[Delightful Den]

Divorce sometimes causes families to act in strange ways.

[Amy :-)]

She was a very strange lady She used to hang up on me if I rang to speak to my dad. I used to have to pretend to be someone else.

[CreamPuff63]

That's not nice...still if that's the sort of person she is, sometimes it's best to leave her to marinate in her misery

[Amy :-)]

True CP, as sad as it is...

[astarra]

That is sad, Amy...as you said, you are still her grandkids.
