  • The Bhb family have certainly had a rough time of late.

    I think he is lapping up the attention his girlfriend is giving him ....... :D

    More worried about you budgie ...... what can we do to help ?

    Now, if you pick up Darwin ... how about camping on our field with the turkeys and ducks .... not exactly by the sea, but very very relaxing .... only 8 miles to the beach ....:confused:

    You are such a lovely person, I wish we could help make you feel better ..... :confused:


    Hugs from the Hillbillies

  • I hope your DS is OK, BHB. Must have been a horrible shock for you. I do detest driving and now DD1 is driving, it's another worry. I hope he feels completely better soon. BTW, Mrs Wideload was pretty hilarious the other evening when you were in a sulk about your lack of computer!!

    BB: your Sea poem is beautiful, I really understand what you mean by how free you feel by the sea. And thanks for your encouragement. Fay, you are so lucky living so near to the sea!!

    Jo: sorry you're having a bad evening - it's the back to school blues. Well done for not giving into any bells!

    Honeybear: tut tut ... a bit rich coming from me when I was on the organic vino last night!!!

    Where's Miss Piggy and Piglet?


    Goodnight everybody xx

    Andy sweetheart you ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE :D

    You really are a diamond and thankyou for your kind offer, who knows one fine day and all. :confused:

    I think I am just going through a testing time?

    You are so lucky as you and Mrs Bhb seem so together. I always used to be with my DH but now :confused:

    Things are difficult and I am so not a quitter, I just have to find my own pathway and that as our Darling Fay says will make all of the difference?

    I really do think you are such a special person your family are so lucky to have you and if I lived closer then believe me I would be visiting you all, because you are all fab :A

    Hugs matey and here is to better days (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Jo hugs hunny and you are a little star :A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hb hugs sweetheart and you certainly are a very sensitive bear :A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hiya to Stroppy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Hi,

    Wasn't able to get online over the weekend so just been catching up on all the posts for the past wee while.

    Jo - sorry to hear your sad news, thinking of you.

    BHB - glad to hear your son's going to be ok - what a shock it must have been to get the news.

    PIR - very best of luck for your 1st day tomorrow.

    Budgie - thinking of you. What a difficult period. Hope you have time and space to work out what's right for you.

    xx
    ETA - BB, missed X Factor last night so will be watching it online - prob tomorrow night. xx
  • Oh my goodness, where to start!

    BHB~what a shock for you all, but glad to hear he is okay ((hugs))

    Budgie~my dear budgie. Your thought provoking posts do my head in!!! :o In a good way. But tonight isn't the night for such questions, "Are you happy?" My answer....not sure.

    Had a lovely birthday party for DS2 today. Seriously a fantastic afternoon :D He was the star of the show and had everyone smiling. My Auntie came, the one I have spoken about, and as always she had the usual effect on me. It's all so strange. Thing is, I know it will come across REALLY weird, but I love her. I've always idolised her. I love her life, I want to be her. It all sounds ridiculous coming from a 36 year old. But she's everything that I would want to be.

    Kind of like that, but not really. I think it's partly because she was the first one to come up to me at my dads funeral and tell it how it was. I remember word for word what she said to me and it was so wise. She just knew how to make me feel better. Everyone always says how much I look like her and I love that people think that because in my eyes she is beautiful. I realise all this sounds plain silly. But it is weird the connection I have with her. Thankfully, she has expressed the same fondness for me :o

    I'm AF tonight but not last night.

    5 AF please YM.

    Off to bed. Work tomorrow. Boo Hoo!
    Need to start again :o
