Hi everyone

What a rollercoaster the last 2 weeks have been.. My mum who was only 61 suddenly died of an infection caused by pneumonia. Obviously I was absolutely devastated but I lost my sister who was 18 and had downs syndrom 5 years ago and she was my mum's best friend/soul mate so I have the reassurance that they are together again, which is all my mum ever wanted deep down.
All through this Cola has been a little bugger as she was gravid and she laid 4 lovely eggs on the day of my mum's funeral! bless her heart, she laid 6 only a month ago! So I now have 10 eggs cooking away and hopefully the first batch are due to hatch approx 5th November..

I'm now getting back to normality and just catching up on all the latest tort news, which i've missed alot.. I do hope some of yours are still awake!!

Jeanette xx

Hi Jeanette

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. And as already said, at least you have the comfort of knowing she is with your sister.

Well done to Cola. She really is doing well with her laying. Can't wait to see your babies.
