    The following is dedicated to Paul, Mark and others who need a bit of run good, also Sean who would like summat to read :)
    There have been times over the past few months when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, and wondered if the whole world was conspiring against me and my family.
    My dear daughter was hooked on an illicit drug, she was in such a horrible place it was touch and go whether she would lose her child to the authorities, she even spoke about being better for him if we had him not her.
    My dear wife's mother sadly passed away, I was in a bit of a tiz about the latest scare health wise.
    Everything over the past years must have had a massive effect on my good lady, it broke my heart to see her in tears, she hardly ever shows her emotion like this, and it was a timely intervention by her doctor to sign her off work for six weeks.
    It's been a long, hard road.
    The past few days have seen a massive change, my dear daughter is out of hospital and living with us, her cravings have all but gone, and to see her interacting with her son in a loving way just melts the heart, yesterday she organised a trip to the swimming pool for his first "swim". It took me back to when I used to take my children, along with going to the park and all the little things we parents take for granted, this was a massive change from those dark times not long ago.
    I hope this is just the start of a family life for my dear daughter and she experiances all the wonderful ( and sometimes infuriating) times children put us through, things look positive for the first time in a while.
    I have forgotten how to win at poker, that really doesn't matter :)
    Love to all. X

    Testing the new forum, took me a while to find out how to actually post 😅
    I had a quick scan through recent postings, by crikey there's some colourful language by a certain individual 😱.
    In general our life at home is so much better than previous months, it's my dear daughters birthday today, so nice to see her with a smile on her face, it was nice to see her and her brother chatting away about random stuff, that wouldn't have happened a couple of weeks ago, he takes a while to forgive.
    Looking forward to our holiday, only a couple of weeks to go, whilst all the lucky ones here will be at the SPT in Brighton we shall be slumming it on a cruise taking in the Panama Canal ho hum..
    Poker has been going ok recently, finished 3rd in the £5 £1k gtd B/h last night, on the down side I seem to have forgotten how to win PL08 tournies, thems the breaks I suppose.
    I seem to recall talk of photos being ok to post and approved? Fairly easily 😀 I may give that a try soon, be prepared for a few gorgeous grandson photos ( If allowed by dear daughter)
    Be nice, have fun.x

    Hi Tom,

    Yes, you can now post photos without awaiting "approval".

    Panama Canal? You lucky man. That's on my bucket list for sure.

    Wow, you made a good job of that Tom.

    Fancy coming down and doing my decking, too?

    PS - really pleased with how well the photos cone out on the new forum.

    There's a few grumbles and chunters - as expected - but there are positives too.

    Still learning how to post, can't quite get the hang of 'reply'
    I don't think I have enough wood for Chateu Kendall 😉
    Oh, and sometimes this leave a comment box doesn't appear on my iPad ( that's prob me pressing the wrong buttons, a statement my good lady says most often)

    Thanks Paige, we will have a fab time I'm sure.
    In shock news, sky bigwigs have looked through my mtt conquests and decided it won't be fair to others if I'm at the SPT or indeed not participating in mini Ukops, to cheer myself up I shall endeavour to post a pic 😉
