Well I had an interesting wake up call today. The phone rang whilst I was having a lie-in, the other half answered whilst downstairs so I assumed it must be his mum. The other half walked upstairs saying 'I will just see if she is awake' He passed me the phone and I said 'hello' It turned out to be my long 'lost' grandad in Scotland (my dad's dad) :O I was really shocked and suprised. He thanked me for the card I sent to him a few months back and apologised for his delayed reply. He has recently had a stroke and so is only just back on his feet so to speak. Thankfully he sounded really well on the phone and we spoke for 50 minutes :-) I have promised to send some up to date pictures of little madam.
I rang my sister Lou after and told her what had happened. I will be sending her his address so she can get in touch with him :-)
I'm so happy that i'm finally being reunited with people who are rightfully my family. I know there is a long way to go but I am determined to get this family straightened out one step at a time.
In other 'news' the day got worse and the other half and I had another petty row. All because I asked what was for lunch and the other half took that as me demanding he get the food whilst I sit on my back side - not the case but hey, maybe I should just get used to people thinking the worst of me. He's been sulking upstairs watching tele ALL day...
