    :(:(

    Been sat here trying to think of something to say, something wise & comforting to make you feel better, I can't find the words.:(

    Been sat here thinking of something clever or funny in the hope it could make you smile and stop your heart from sinking, I can't find the words.:(

    I don't mean the next part to sound flippant or uncaring, I suddenly wish I was well read & educated, that I could quote a famous phrase to inspire you, to cheer you up on an otherwise gloomy day the way you have cheered us all but this is all I've got.

    You're like humpty dumpty, you didn't fall off the wall, you were pushed. It was the builder & banks, the bloody dwp & tribunals, the courts & its legal system, the disappointments & despair and your ex that done it. They left you in pieces.

    I know we're no substitute for your boys but we're here, ready and waiting in the hope we can help put all your pieces back together.:o

    take care. x

    A phrase such as 'Shi t happens' comes to mind. That's all it is! Thanks though!

    :(:(:( Hope tomorrow brings better news for you. I know how you feel about benefits etc. I just had a massive circular discussion with them as well - it's not just you.
    Onwards and upwards - when you hit the bottom you can only really go upwards can't you.

    Absolutely right. I'm really not saying - me, me, me... - it's a general rant against the universe and all of us suffer it all the time!

    Just do it! Get the witch to drop the boys off next weekend. Go out and about walking, down the beach (if you are safe in Bognor) and then feed them soup. Bet you all have a fab time too!

    Pick those socks, sorry, stockings up and pull them as far as they will go and just do it. If nothing else, the sight of you with socks pulled that far up will make you giggle because you will think of us all as you do it! :D

    I'd guess Mike will like this advice :D. Actually, I think he may be living by it at times :p.

    Which is good because all I've got is more squashy hugs. And my arms are getting quite sore with them all :o. And they're not always as fun as plotting and scheming.
