The (not so old) Crocks Cafe

PinkJenn

Hello...I've just found this place!

I'm Jenny, I live in South East Wales. 3 children....2 grown up and a small noisy child who's 6.....and a grand daughter who's 4.

I've just applied for DLA....fingers crossed. Its taken a while for my doctor to believe there is anything wrong with me. I had a sort of stroke 2 years ago and I was paralysed down one side. Some movement has come back but not all. I have a lot of joint pain and stiffness. I've had an MRI and that didn't show anything so my neurologist is a bit baffled. Physio and hydro have helped a bit but not much.

My husband walked out on me a year after this happened....he didn't believe me either. He called me a lazy fat cow...so does his (married) girlfriend.

I have a boyfriend in Manchester (173 miles away) who is great, very understanding....but a long way away.

I have a huge lack of self confidence, I've been battling with depression and I find it very difficult to leave the safety of the house. I fell over a year ago and broke my arm in 2 places.

Daisy please add me to your list.

Oh! zzzLazyDaisy - please could you add me to the members list - I dropped in a couple of times last week and intend to be back regularly!:D

Had the stitches out of my hands yesterday - ow! they were a bit bedded in.
Soooooooo good to be able to shower, wash etc without gloves on! :rotfl:

Hope everyone is feeling good today.

It's cold here today, but it's dry at least.

I'm debating whether to go out today - haven't been out and about for 18 days now :eek: :eek: :eek: . It would do me good but worried I'm not going to be up to it.

DDs want to get their halloween stuff so it would just be a trip to woolworths and back.

Morning everyone, cold enough for you??? :rolleyes:
ME what a lovely sentiment you posted yesterday :T

I haven't ventured out this morning and don't think I will, although the sun is shining now and it looks a beautiful autumn day out there.

and any lurkers, please drop in and say hello

Oooooo! How did you know? Yes I've been lurking since day one so I'm popping in to say hello :hello: . I've brought some scones and a pot of jam - well I did polish of altocumulus's 'Death by Chocolate' - and delicious it was too.

I hope today's a good day for you all.

Welcome PinkJenn

There's freshly made soya Shepherd Spy and an apple and cinnamon pie today; I thought something hot around lunchtime would be a good idea.:o

I knew there was a frost this morning before I even got out of bed - cos I couldn't move! All my joints were seized up. Not to worry - a dose of Oramorph and a bit of massaging by Mr LW got me moving, albeit I'm walking like a knock-kneed duck in a full nappy!:D

Later, people, - I'm just going to pop some bread rolls in the oven.

Hello everyone and thanks for the warm welcome....I forgot to add that I'm also allergic to dairy...but sometimes I don't read the labels on purpose

:wave: to Rosieben.....I wonder how far away we are...I'm in Cwmbran

I like this virtual cafe....no aches and pains just smiles.....I could feel the love wafting around as soon as I opened the door.
