I get this feeling but only when I'm really upset about something. When I was six my mum was planning on taking me to meet my gran for the first time. About a month before we were due to fly, my mum got word that my gran (her mum) had died. The trip was bought forward and on the morning of the funeral, I went from playing with my cousins to crying uncontrollably for hours. I cried the whole way through the service and slept the rest of the day. For years after my mum would tell me she dreamt about me with my gran, me as a baby with my gran watching over my cot. So now when I'm feeling low and I get that feeling of a shiver (without the shake), I like to think that it's my gran's there comforting me.


Weirdly, my little one once told me that as she passed my bedroom door, she saw an old lady standing over me watching me sleep!

I wish the bloody living would leave me alone when I'm, er, communing with nature. One imagines that a guardian angel might at least have the decency to turn its back, and certainly not bounce up and down and ask to sit on one's lap and enquire exactly what one might be doing.

    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo  
    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
