  • Hi CC sorry to hear Mum is still in hopital. It is really hard to think of anything more to suggest, perhaps catalogues? Then she could have a think about Christmas prezzies or suggest ideas for your new flat for you to save up for. Sorry No help really.:o Having you go regularly will be so good though but it is a real strain, my grandfather was in last year and I went daily. I didn't want to go but couldn't bear not to go. Loved being with him when I was there.
    Sorry that work is bad too. You need someone to take you out and make you laugh. Comedy club? Katheirne Tate DVD? Is there one?
    Big hug from me and hang in there. We are all here for you, even if the posts have slowed up.
    As for jokes Mclaren says mine are rubbish and have been around for years.:mad:
    Take care,
    CG:beer:

    Hi all
    sending loads of love to your Mum and you cc
    I am having a grotty day today, parents eve tonight - after 7pm I am loosing the will to live and talk jibberish but hey ho, will do my best. Between 4 and 7:30 I have a 10 min break everyone wants to see me.

    As for a joke, well I have this one but it may offend some - sorry it made me giggle
    A night at Jongleurs is a good remedy!!

    A male whale and a female whale were swimming off the coast of Japan when
    they noticed a whaling ship. The male whale recognized it as the same ship
    that had harpooned his father many years earlier. He said to the female
    whale, "Let's both swim under the ship and blow out of our air holes at
    the same time; and it should cause the ship to turn over and sink." They
    tried it, and sure enough, the ship turned over and quickly sank. Soon,
    however, the whales realized the sailors had jumped overboard and were
    swimming to the safety of shore. The male was enraged that they were going
    to get away and told the female, "Let's swim after them and gobble them up
    before they reach the shore." At this point, he realized the female was
    becoming reluctant to follow him. "Look," she said, "I went along with the
    blowjob, but I absolutely refuse to swallow the seamen

    Big hugs all wb xx
  • I am saying nothing Wannubs!!
    Ace joke though!:rotfl:
    Good luck for parents evening I always go way over time but then again get loads of no shows so i catch up! Hope you don't get those who take notes. I am sure it will be like meeting the fans though.
    Sunny here, view spectacular and cough and cold abating.

    Hi Wannabee ( and everyone else!)
    Thanks for starting this thread. I have spent so much time today reading all the posts and it is such a comfort to know that there are so many other people that feel lonely. Iit is the little things that I miss. Having a friend to go for a walk with or meet up with for a cup of coffee. I take a lot of comfort from many of the comments made by all of you.

    This forum's a good place to start :) Have a look at each day's chat thread over on the Old Style board (look for a thread with the date in the title) - you can start joining in any time you like and once you've got to know everybody it's just like popping next door for a coffee and a chat :D

    I second - the amount of times ive had a good old whinge is incredible and no-one minds, the thread is there to chat about anything really and everyone is welcome. Ive often felt the same way if its any consolation and you are more than welcome to chat to me whenever you like!

    I am so glad that this is a safe aplace where people feel happy to share with each other. I can't beleive we have lasted over 100 pages. I have opened up to you and probably told you more about myself and how I am feeling more than my so called friends. It shows that there is a niche for something in everyones life eh. God that sounds a little 'out there'.
    I hope you all have a good day
    Know that there are people out there to chat to and sound off and
    a huge thankyou
