  • Uolypool (((hugs))) Dont know what else to say except Sorry your going through this.

    OS washing on line BM on.Chicken soup on for tea tonight

    Got about 25 things listed on ebay yesterday and two have bids.
    And I am so excited you can see I live a exciting life:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Going to go through my clothes this week and get rid of the ones that dont fit instead of hanging on to them. Then take them to a CS.

    This week I am going to do a complete clear out of the living room, one room a week see how that goes.

    Postive hugs for all.:)
    Taking it one day at a time
  • JG I see on here people saying what they are doing for dinner with leftovers. The idea is totally alien to me as we never have leftovers.

    I have just put the BM on to be ready when I get back from the Gym and hoping WM load 3 will be dry enough to bring in before I go. weather starting to look a bit grey here.
  • Uolypool - I don't know your full story so can only offer sympathies. I think others here have offered lots of good advice though.

    My day's going well thus far. All chores are done and I've got until 3pm to suit myself and plan to knit and watch BBC News (it's a bit of an addiction!)

    Cheers all for the advice, I find it so much easier to poor my heart out on here,no judgement .I have calmed down a tad and have sent her one txt saying, "I'm here for you". I have recieved a txt of exs gf saying that she is there and will look after her but in no means is she trying to take my place.So am more willing now to let her take her time and see that its not all bad with me.Her brother is home now and he is one of the most level headed people I know and he has said he will talk to her in a few days once the anger has calmed down from her as she phoned him and said she was at her dads as he had no rules. Was going to ring my solicitor and see what I can do to get her back, but now I know there is no immediate danger to her I feel a bit calmer.She can come home at any point this will always be a home for her.:sad::sad:

    Hi all,
    Late for me to be on here, I just got stuck in changing sheets, remaking bed, WM on, vaced & dusted bedroom, cleaned bathrom & shower room. I've made a broc & cauli cheese to go with gammon & pots for dinner. Still loads of ironing to do. I'm going to sort out baby clothes at DD1's later to see what is needed for the baby due in 6 wks, she's kept all of DGD's clothes but she was a summer baby and this one is winter.

    HILLSTEP, Loved the pics, the littlies are so cute.
    JACKIEG Thoughts are with you re your DS and G. Uncle.
    JACKIO Hope your app goes well for you.
    MOORHEN, How's your DS now, any news?
    BEEMUZED, Can you have your DS comitted to having to stay in a hosp ? at least there will be qualified staff to watch him and take some worry off you whilest your on holiday.
    UOLYPOOL, There's some good advice given on here, do you think your DD knows she is in the wrong but doesn't/can't find a way to back down. I'm sure she's hoping her Dad will bring her home soon therefore taking the decision out of her hands. I'm also sure she's watching her phone to see how many times you try to contact her. You could text to say she is always welcome to come home but that things can't continue as they are. She will miss you but it will take time for her to come to her senses. Remember you ARE a good Mum. ((hugs))

    Morning
    Beemuzed hugs to you....surely they can section him and get him sorted? his state of mind needs to be dealt with and it isnt going to go away on its own. Hope he gets the help he needs and you get some peace x

    You would think so wouldn't you? I do wonder just what someone needs to do to be sectioned these days - they all just shy away from it whenever we raise it. At most they seem to be willing to consider 48hours! I totally agree, he needs a longer spell of security and treatment (something else which seems almost impossible).
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
  • uolypool she's be back as soon as Dad suddenly puts his foot down(which he will) and when she realises where the grass is greener She is safe you know where she is and if you leave her alone like mary's little lambs she will come home when she cottons on to the fact that a girls best friend is her Mum no matter how tough the rules seem to be.My DDs eldest DD went through the 'I'm going to live with Dad because he doesn't moan like you do stage' and when my DD said o.k. off you go she went for three days and returned home quicker than she went when she found out Dad didn't do laundry,taxi-ing service or food on the table when she walked through the doorIt did her the world of good to find out that the week-ends with dad wern't in the least bit like being there all the time.Have faith
    Well chums I had the pump treatment on my arm and then its been bandaged from fingertips to armpit, so no knitting,ironing and very little cooking will get done this week.Rather uncomfortable at the moment as I can only use one arm properly and I'm right handed so trying to do things with my left arm is a bit difficult.Roll on Friday .I have typed this with one finger of my left hand so if you don't hear from me for a few days I haven't snuffed it:) just find it a bit laborious to type.So hopefully I will be back to normal on Friday,I'll just be lurking this week
    Take care all

    Hi - just a quick post to offer (((HUGS))) to Jackieg - I'm so sorry for your loss - and Beemuzed and Uolypool.

    JackieO I feel your frustration; my left hand and wrist are currently strapped because they're hurting like I don't know what; started last night, no idea what I've done. And, of course, I do most things left-handed for preference. I hope it's not too uncomfortable for you, and that the procedure does you some real good.:o

    Same here; I'm positive Mr LW was a Labrador in a previous life.:rotfl:

    Well, I have a heap of tasks to do, and only one functional paw, so best go and get started.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Beemuzed...do you have any help for DS from social services at all or a CPN? I dont understand how they can be prepared to leave your DS in such a vunerable position. I was on the Oncology/Hospice side of things so it isnt my speciality and dont know the ins and outs....someone on here does psychiatric nursing but their name escapes me:o...they might have more working knowledge of wjat to do to get help...this situation worries me as I dont like to feel someone isnt being helped x

    Sun's out, but was very chilly earlier, I have boiled up some beef bones, and a pot of tattie soup is simmering! Cat is stuffed with beef from a bone, and neighbour's dog is happy too!
    RIP Iain
