Just checked in after a few days out...

Miro - thinking of you, and sending you "I am strong" vibes. I really do know how you must be feeling, it is nearly a year since my dog died and I was totally devastated and then my 11 yr old puss cat disappeared at Easter and I still miss them both terribly. Those first few days are so tough, but eventually you can look back and smile, instead of looking back and crying. The rest of your cat family will get you through this, and you have to be strong for them, as they will be missing her too, and you will all need time to adjust. Hope you can get some decent recent rest, and as someone else has said, people show their emotions in different ways so perhaps your flat mate is simply reacting in her own way, which is different to yours.

Can't believe you've dropped Britney for Doris!


To everyone else - hello :hello: hope you're all ok.

Losing 2 pets in a year is something you can know about then, sadly

I'm already looking back with smiles, but also tears. The other cats now have a bigger share of the attention. I also feel a bit lost after looking after a blind cat. I haven't the need to be so alert Flatmate and I have chatted. She's just not as hands on as me because she can't deal with it the way I do. She did say she couldn't imagine anyone else doing what I did with her and be available 24/7 just to comfort her, but then my cats are my family.

I've not dropped Britney...as her new excellent song says, 3 is fun I'm not sure she had Doris in mind though and she's currently got an hour on The Vault (Britney that is!) and I have music on all day waiting for her, so she's not neglected. Doris has poor taste, so she's not invited

Talking about music channels, Bliss have already got the 'Merry Blissmas' logo and are playing Christmas music - 6th November!!!!

Hope everyone is doing okay today. The weekend is nearly here, so the likes of Sazzy will, hopefully, have a weekend of rest. Unless Gilly is getting her to put up some shelves

:rotfl: Luckily for me I am too short to put up shelves... unless they are very low shelves:o :rotfl:

Yes Miro, thank goodness it's friiiiday! Yay! :j And even better than that, me and Gilly have got next week off work, so double yay! :j:j Honestly, it can't come at a better time for me. Partly why I've been quiet for the past few days is that there have been yet more changes at work:rolleyes: It's all rather stressful tbh, and I'm feeling like I've had enough of it. So it was good timing to have next week off. I just need to let my brain rest and de-frazzle for a few days.

So there's a lot I need to get finished up here today and I need to get on with that now, but just wanted to drop by and send you all my love. Will be back on later.

Big hugs to all,
Sazzy xxxxxxxxxxxxx

hi sazzy hope you and gilly have a lovely week off together, any plans?

having a rough time here, son being bullied yet again, the bully threw paint on one of our cars on weds night, and bragged about it at school next day. unfortunatly it was my dad's car, and the bully says he'll do mine next, a teacher at school witnessed this conversation, police have been told, at first they said park your cars elsewhere, as there is nowhere else, except in the drive, thats where it will say. when i told the police the bullies name, they checked their computer, and found he is on their records, so they are going to speak to him, dont know if this will help or make matters worse, especially for josh in school.
the stress is really gettting to me, and affecting my relationship with ian too, we almost split up last night, as we both said we cant carry on as we are, but i persuaded him to stay and give it another go. i love him so much and couldnt bear to lose him, he says he loves me too, but just feels helpless, as there isnt much he can do to help to improve things, and hes feeliong the stress too.
we need to make more of an effort to spend time alone together thatjust with the kids all the time, easier said than done tho

Hang in there, Shaz. Kids are hard work and cause stress even when nothing is going wrong so I can understand how much this must be affecting your relationship. Sending vibes your way too so that you both have the strength to cope. Lets hope the police sort this out.

hi shaz
sounds like you're having a rough time of it. i hope the police have some luck. i remember something similar happening to my kid brother, the local bully threw a brick through my dads car window amongst other things, it was a horrible feeling knowing who it was (but in our case we had no witnesses) eventually it died down, the bully got bored and moved on.
dig deep, remember you all love each other and it will get better

shaz sweetheart - I just want to echo what all the wonderful folk here have said xxx And I really hope that you and Ian can get through this, because it's clear how much you mean to each other and how good he has been for you. Big hugs xxx

No big plans for our week off. If we are going to move next year we need to do some work on the house - but whether that actually gets done this week is another matter!:D We're not long home and feeling knackered. I had to stay late at work to get everything to the stage were it could be handed over next week and then the long drive home in the dark and torrential rain - poor gilly trying to avoid the idiots out driving on the motorway in those conditions:rolleyes:

Tbh right now I just feel like sleeping for a week... but I'm sure after a good night's sleep tonight I'll be bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow and raring to go!:D

Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone :wave:

Much love,
Sazzy xxxxxx

:hello:Everyone,

Not stopping long tonight apart from saying Night! Night! bed early because I have a very busy day tomorrow as introducing my boyfriend to my parents eek! I know they will like him and know why I have chosen him to be in my life.I actually know from being with him in the last month that I couldnt imagine him not being in my life as he makes me so happy and we share a laugh together and really chat.I know I have enjoyed all the lunches in Exeter on Mondays and fridays but after he meets my parents tomorrow,then the next weekend I meet his Dad for the first time and have dinner with his family.Mums just doing a few sandwiches,crisps and sausage rolls,quiche nothing fancy.

I will tell you all tomorrow how it went the first meeting.

Shaz sorry to hear your news,be strong and keep up the good fight.Hope you and Ian get on an even keel again and things settle with the kids.

Night! Night!

love and light,

Katie xxx

Welcome back Bunnie (((HUGS))) for you.

:hello: RBK,

Missed you! how are things with you just lately,My life has changed for the better as I am in a new relationship and I am very happy.Met at a church service of all places and I wasnt even looking for romance as it found me just like that anyway Its a month last Wednesday (4th November) for our first anniversary of when we met as I started dating again on 4th October that seems such a life time ago,I am doing so well with my life that I have no community nurse or phycologist but that doesnt mean to say that If I need their help again I just refer myself back to the team but I think I can manage without them and Mum and Dad are proud of me and if I have a problem I can chat to them and now my boyfriend and my sister and my brother and his wife in Australia so they are all my support network,I am there also for my boyfriend as I am going to help him in many ways too.

love and light,

Katie xxx

Are you planning to move far from where you are now?

A whole week off. Sounds great! Actually I have every week off. Eventually I may get the strength to move on again.

Enjoy your time off!

I hope things improve for you Shaz. Life is difficult enough without others making it harder for us. I hope the situation improves.

I was thinking after I posted, the shelves may actually be better used as a step ladder for you

That is so like management to not tell staff what they are doing until late and make changes with little or no input from the employees. :rolleyes:

Hope you got all of it done :cool:
