Sad day today, my Nan's been taking back into hospital with some heart related problem . Its the 2nd time in as many months and frankly its all very upsetting.

Anyway in my strange way im writing this post, as my way to support her in spirit in her time of need.

As many of you know, I can be quite the character. A character that is often very annoying, sometimes entertaining and usually a good egg (I hope ). Much of this character has been built from my relationship with my Nan or (Nannyanakins).

I had a pretty ordinary childhood, I come from a working class family, I lived in an ordinary terrace home, had pretty ordinary pets. However the one thing that may not be quite so ordinary was that my Nan lived in our family home with us since I was about 5.

She has a character which is not befitting of an OAP, her sense of humor is something else... So much so that she actually befriended all my friends as I grew up. Even now years after moving out and starting my own family, my mates still ask about her whenever I see them and my mate Marlow, still moans that she still owes him a cup of tea.

Anyway for those of you that wonder quite what my avatar picture is... Yes it is my Nan... I usually go by the name slattynan, however through a sign up error I ended up with Slatty. Yes I am a bit weird, but she is a legend and deserves the tribute.

Get well soon Nannyanakins!

awww......that's such a shame mate, get well soon slatty nan!

I never had a good relationship with my nan, she's just too crazy!
Be thankful that your nan was a nicer person than mine...
