If I hadn't had him to lean on, that's exactly what I'd have done. Having said that, the one I went for in the end was more expensive at John Lewis, but it included a 5-year guarantee.<br /><br />I am pliable most of the time, and Al thinks I spoil them, and I don't start a battle I can't make sure I win, but when necessary I am extremely tough! Kind afterwards and I always make sure we've put things right between us. I have no compunction about spoiling them a little, because that's what Grandmas are for.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-29890532588294563202009-04-14T16:09:00.000+01:002009-04-14T16:09:00.000+01:00Yay for tough Grandmas!

When she asked for one adult ticket the woman in the box office looked bemused and repeated 'one ADULT ticket?' I like children's films, myself.<br /><br />She's borrowing my satnav today - hope she likes it because I've ordered the same brand for her!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-46235766409608435832009-04-14T08:28:00.000+01:002009-04-14T08:28:00.000+01:00Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I like Charlie a...Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory too. Johnny Depp makes a creditable Willy Wonka, but I think Gene Wilder has the edge in the original.
