Becky went for a scan today and they've sent us a photo of her/him. Please excuse me whilst I go strutting round the village!
Thank you, my old friend. This year I have the birth of my first grandchild to look forward to, my daughter's graduated from university, we celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary last Thursday, we won promotion at Wembley & we won the JP Trophy. I'm a very, VERY lucky man.
It's some year, fair play. From my experiences, this will change your world - and for the better. Was my grandsons 1st birthday yesterday as it happens, granddaughter was 3 in February and is already in "big school" - they start them young around here. Fantastic news on Laura as well, give her my congrats!
I will, mate. Her graduation ceremony is at Carlisle Cathedral next month. I'm under strict instructions from my daughter that I must not embarrass her.
Oh don't worry, mate. I've already insisted our grandchild will be a Barnsley fan and will be togged out in the appropriate gear. Becky's Dad is a Manchester United fan, but he's lost out on this score.
Take some tissues mate, you'll be blubbing - guaranteed. Don't care how big you are, your heart will be pumping out of your chest. A proud, proud moment for you - and Crystal obviously. And well done on the 32 years mate. One of you deserves a medal the size of a frying pan. I'll leave that to your conscience to decide which one lol. Give Crystal my regards btw
I'm allowed to cry, provided I do it quietly! Trust me, mate, the likes of Farnham Red, Arnside Red, barnsley66, Dragon Tyke, Eaststand Lower, DeeTee, Terry Nutkins, North Yorks Red, Extremely Northern, Stahlrost, Jay, SuperTyke, Whitey, LDRed, madmark62, druss and many, many more have all said Crystal deserves a medal as big as a dustbin lid for putting up with me all these years!
Lol, I bet. Take care mate. I'm off to get some kip - off to France in two days & won't be getting much sleep for at least two weeks!
