Frightened about my future

Hi
I've just popped in to see what's happening. It's a horrible cold grey day here so I'm going to spend a few hours doing some chores.
Daughter 4 has now gone home after her surprise visit and had a phone call from daughter 3 that she might be coming home today for a few days (she lives 250 miles away).
Chat to you later.0 -

Nice news for you Pixiechick!
Even though visitors (and getting ready for them!) is quite tiring!
At least, it is if you have my (non-existent!) standards of housekeeping.

Sory to hear that Jinny. Keep strong.
Ann - we're sounding more and more alike all the time! I hate housework, wish I could afford a cleaner like Niddy can!!!
Off to do some more now0 -

Hi Jinny,
Sorry to hear that.
Remember, if yo want to "share" we are all here for you. Perfectly understandable if you would rather not, though.
Either way, big hugs and hope you start posting again very soon!"What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -

So do I, Pixie!
Except I would need to seriously de-clutter before I could let anyone see some parts of my house!
Not necessarily a bad thing, de-cluttering, though ...."What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -
I hope you are ok Jinny. If you want me to break anyone's legs i am here for you. I am ironing, sleeping, ironing, sleeping!!!!!
Pixiechick how lovely you will have happy company.
Ann, we are all the same. We all get worked up before someone visits and tidy every nook and cranny. We forget that our friends come to see us not our (numerous piles of notes in my case!!!). If we had a cleaner we would work ourselves up and tidy before she came!!!Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Aw thanks everyone i might have given you all the impression i was in trouble. Its just now and then I have to deal with a bit extra stuff more than usual like everyone i suppose its just the cards you are dealt remember Im a carer. All is well now as I have lots of support here but thanks for your lovely words and virtual huggs. This thread is like therapy we may chatter away about day to day stuff or go of on fantasies or remanise about our younger days but hey chatter works for me, just letting you know if I ever go "missing" Im still around lurking. Thanks again you lovely peeps talk soon.:A”Pour yourself a drink, (tea for me now)
