Right, the Japanese boy....

About 20 years ago, my mother helped organise a student exchange for a bunch of Japanese kids to stay with us in Canada. So we end up having this lovely young boy stay for 3 weeks. Bless, they couldnt speak ANY English and the lad who was staying with us HATED the food in Canada-so he lived on these packets of rice his Mom had sent over...


Obvioulsy, this cause a 'blockage' so when the inevitable happened, he cause a MAHOOSIVE blockage in MY bathroom! So, it was left up to me to remove said blockage...with the plunger Zed kindly posted earlier...


God, you have NEVER seen anything like it! I had a scarf wrapped around my face, cowboy style, plunger going billy-oh and shiit EVERYWHERE! Up the walls, floor, me gagging like a gagging thing from Gag Land. My Nan was there at the time (God Rest her Soul!) laughing like a hyena at me! It was HORRIFIC.

I'm back....I'm still bored but I have at least accomplished something!

I have done the first sinkful of washing up (yep there was loads because Natasha managed to get the top off a bottle of cordial and spill it in the cupboard, covering about a million plates and glasses :cool:), the first load of washing (no excuse for being so behind with that other than laziness), tidied the living room, got 2 kids to bed and flirted online with a very nice man from the west midlands (not THAT man).

Still more washing up and washing to do, plus lunches for tomorrow (and maybe more flirting ), but I'm getting there.

I haven't moved.....

Len, you have made a few mistakes but EVERYONE has.....no-one is perfect and we have all done things we regret, that have had far-reaching implications that we never considered at the time. You just have to think 'Right, yep, I f*cked up, and my life will be different because of that, but not necessarily worse, just different'. If you stop worrying about what you feel you should and could have had, you will find something different, but probably equally as good, or even better.

You might not own your own home, and yes it feels a bit rubbish seeing your peers in a better position financially, but it's only a pile of bricks and a few numbers on a statement. It doesn't represent what you are like as a person, or what your potential to find happiness is.

Have you ever seen that 'Holland' email - someone sent it to me when Ryan was diagnosed, and it's basically an analogy for having a child with a disability, but it could apply to any situation where you find yourself in different circumstances than you imagined you would be at this point in your life. I can try to find it for you if you like?

Don't go Lenny - we need your smut.

Don't hide.
I came home tonight and felt so dirty from that wretched form that I changed the bed clothes and scrubbed myself in a bath.
I was tempted to sit and be miserable but feel better for not doing so.

Len,
In the nicest possible way mate, get a grip. You have a small amout of debt left-2 years to pay it all off.

You have a STABLE steady job, something many MANY people can't say in the UK right now.

You have a roof over your head-it's clean, and warm and if anything goes wrong, it gets fixed, for FREE.

You have food in the fridge.

You have a beautiful, healthy son, a happy healthy wife and a baby on the way.

You have 2 nice, working cars.

You have friends who love you and support you.

Stop wallowing.

Erm, we're not virtual friends

Some of us may not have met each other yet, but we are still real friends
