    I agree, bloody awful day MrsR.:( My thoughts are with you.

    Jo, not a nice situation either. Hope it turns out okay.
  • long time lurker here, rare poster but wanted to say hi.

    So sorry to hear about your shocking day MrsR. My granny recently lost the battle while in hospital, hurts particularly today as she was so looking forward to seeing Kate's dress! :)

    I have firmly been off the wagon for the last couple of days but have only had a bit to drink and have felt so dreadful the day after (had 2 AF days earlier this week and felt brilliant) that I really do wonder why I do it to myself!

    good luck to everyone :)

  • Sorry to hear all your bad news, Mrs R.

    How lovely to have had a meeting with Budgie, Jo. But what a foul situation you are in - the stubborn person he is.

    Watched a bit of the wedding - very uplifting.

    DD1 under pressure to get work done before she goes back to uni on Tuesday - foul, foul mood - but since she's been away, I've become stronger in dealing with her, and let her know in no uncertain terms that she cannot stamp all over her family any more. Still very difficult to cope with though. And I thought she'd become calmer ...

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
