Who or what are the Ting Tings? Think I'm a bit out of touch here ...

Shaz, did you lose anything from the sheds?

Nice to hear some good news, Sazzy. Alas, my love life sucks, Mr Sunshine moved to a different flat yesterday. We may be able to sort things out with time ... I need to be patient, which I am SO not good at. And I hate being alone, I don't have a lot of friends or activities to distract me, so am alone at home most of the time.

h amber, how are you hun?
they didnt take anything from the two sheds that they managed to get into, which is suprising, as there are four mountain bikes in one, all fairly new too. all i can guess is that they were looking for gardening equipment, lawnmowers etc, which were in the third shed. either that, or they were looking to see what was available, and coming back another night with a van?, but we was back the night after who knows?
i hate being alone sometimes too, which is why i have taken up knitting again, keeps me occupied and is helping others less fortunate than myself

Why I Fired My Secretary

Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that
morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and
say, "Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me

As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone "Happy
Birthday."

I thought...
Well, that's marriage for you,
but the kids....
They will remember.


My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So
when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.


As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good Morning Boss,
and by the way Happy Birthday! " It felt a little better that at least
someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock, when Jane knocked on my door and said, "You
know, It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what
do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me." I said, "Thanks, Jane,
that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!"

We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. She chose
instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each
and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Jane
said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day... We don't need to go
straight back to the office, Do We?"

I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind?"
She said, "Let's drop by my apartment,
it's just around the corner."

After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, "Boss, if
you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment.
I'll be right back." "Ok," I nervously replied.

She went into the bedroom and,
after a couple of minutes,
she came out carrying a huge birthday cake .
Followed by my wife, my kids,
and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday.

And I just sat there...

On the couch...

Naked !!!!!!!!!!!!

Heya lovelies.

Welcome to the newbies on the thread. I hope you'll find a very comfortable home here.

I met my new support worker today. She's nice.
She said that she's going to see about me moving to be closer to town as I feel so isolated being this far out.

Drop in on Friday and hopefully seeing Janette too.

I'm not feeling good today. Spent most of last night in tears, and today I just feel useless and worthless. My problem though.

My mood is up and down, in the last few days I've gone from feeling hopeless and wishing itwould all end, to feeling better when it seems there might be some hope for me and Mr S. Up and down, up and down ... god it's exhausting.

Am now waiting to see if I've been offered a room in a flat with really nice flatmates.

Hi sazzy and gilly!:hello:
I've just started to read back and came across this missive...

Hello my dearest lovelies :hello: And thanks for the shout-out this morning, Tiffy hun xx...

...I was very lucky that something very special - or should I say someone very special - came out of that too. Gilly Badger (Gillette147) and I wanted to share the news with you that we are an 'item' as they say:D, and that we are extremely happy together. We have recently returned from a blissful weekend in Cornwall together and can't quite believe how much our lives have changed. We are looking to the future now and daring to believe we can be happy:)

Anyway, I really don't want to trample on this thread with my news, or by doing so be insensitive to the very real and very difficult struggles you all are having to cope with. But I just wanted to say I'm still here and doing ok and still thinking of you all every day and sending you the biggest hugs I can. Please remember that you are all remarkable, wonderful people. It is a privilege for me to have crossed paths in my life with you all.

I promise I'll drop by more often... if you want me too, that is! But I wouldn't blame you if you didn't:)... but the fact is Tiff has changed the lock on the smartie cupboard and I need Katie’s expert lock-picking skills!;) :D
Much love to you all, Sazzy xxxxxxxxxx

..........

FINALLY! AMEN! HALLELULJAH!:j:j:j

Con-cat-ulations guys ~ I hope that you both know how truly overjoyed and excited I am at your announcement!

No-one here begrudges you any happiness I'm sure, my ever-thoughtful sazzy, so don't worry about 'trampling over the thread' with your news. We know how generous you always are with your time and support of others here hunnie. And after all, that's how this place works its magic - we share the good times and the bad. It's a privilege for me to witness this new time for you both as it begins and I hope it'll be all that you want it to be.

I've known both of you for a long time now and consider you both to be almost like family. You're wonderful people and I hope you both enjoy this amazing new adventure together. (sniff, sniff) I hope this is the start of your ''Happy Ever After'' ~ you both deserve it.


Erm, there's just one little question that I have...looking into the distant future and imagining the best possible scenario, what would your offspring be - bazzys or sadgies?!!!:D And of course - you'll have to have a cat!:whistle: (hint, hint)

......
Now that you two have found each other, what am I going to do?
Hey miro - what are you doing for the next 40 years, hunnie?!!!

Take care both of you. I'll leave you with a final soggy Tiffy sentiment...look after yourselves, your love and each other.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
