The thoughts of me and my dog who used to be Harvey, but is now George, who is Harvey's great-great-great-great-nephew.
I had to stop reading at one point ... as I was laughing too much to see the words!

That is the charm of This Time Next Year by Liz Hinds. You want to go shopping with Aliss and her friends, help her sort out her relationships, and throttle her son--oops!

It is a great read. Made me laugh and cry.

Daughter-in-law had her 20-week scan last Tuesday. The nurse/technician/person who does the scan said, 'It's a boy.'

Congratulations!
What wonderful news, Liz! And I loved your son's comment. I've been known to say the right thing the wrong way more than I care to admit to, and given some people some mighty good laughs because of it!
Congratulations Granddad!!!
Wonderful news, congratulations!
Yay! Congratulations!
I loved knowing what both mine were going to be before they were born :-)
Just read that a Mumbles girl got a CBE from Prince Charles today :-)
Congratulations, Liz! Is this Granddaughter's little brother-to-be or your Son's new baby?
And what a coincidence--I just found out last week I'm going to be a grandma again, too!
Thanks, all. And congratulations to you too, rose! This is Elder Son's first baby. GrandDaughter remains sibling-less and will do so until she begins to sleep better at night!! (As I keep telling her.)
