bramble sorry to hear of your loss,hard time to lose someone when everyone else seems to be jolly and smiling.he is at peace and out of pain so remember the good bits in your mind and be glad you got to see him.
lou if i could, I would do anything to make you feel better honey,you are doing well and we are all behind you .never apologise for feeling blue we all get those days Have a vitual <<hug>>

well I am at my eldest DDs until Sunday so I'm borrowing her pc to have a look in and see whats happening.I got my bedroom done and it smells of polish and windolene and looks fantastic ,all the dusty bits are gone :)Not that anyone will see it but me but it makes me feel so much better knowing it looks good.
I had a nice pork chop for lunch with some mash and veg and Dd keeps asking what I want for dinner ,to be honest I'm rather stuffed so I think a cheese toastie and a cuppa will do me fine for this evening as I only like one big meal a day .There is still lots of Christmas bit she keeps saying to me 'Have a mince pie, or some crisps or nuts 'I like it when life gets back to normal and an ordinary salad or sandwich is a treat after all the rich food.
I think I left my phone charger at my other DDs so I am going to give her a ring to see if DGS Ben has found it as I stayed in his bedroom over Christmas.
I am looking forward to new year as its like haveing a brand new book from the library you never know whats going to happen next.plus of course all the horrid stuff from this year gets chucked out and got rid of IYSWIM
Right I'm off for my toastie Have a good evening all,I think DGD Holly wants to play cards so I will show her how to lose her student fees :)
Take care all JackieO xxx

The traffic was so bad coming back to London it took 4 hours and I forgot to give my Dad the bottles of whisky I had here for him. I've unpacked and tidied up as best I can but it feels like I can never get it really clean as there's just not enough space and now I'm all bummed out and don't feel like tackling anything else.
I moved out three years ago but recently I've been starting to occasionally feel homesick, usually when I get back from a few days there. I have my job, uni, OH and friends down here now though, and all the jobs are down here so I will likely never move back I'm going to look for some classes here to distract myself as I have been less inclined to socialise this year. It just doesn't feel productive to spend 4 hours sat in the pub and lose the next morning to a hangover and that is pretty much all my friends do! And shopping. And two of them stalk celebrities. OH is the only one who likes outdoorsy stuff. I saw an advert for bootcamp fitness classes at a school near my house which looks right up my street and surely there are some crafty clubs around??
Sorry got a bit ranty and long. I'm feeling quite emotional, not sure if it's my TOTM but will go have a bath then do some dinner. OH is coming over tonight and it will be nice to see him as it's been over a week!
((hugs)) everyone

Evening all,

Rain and wind giving it loads here, not as cold as yesterday, but just as miserable....all fires lit and CH running every so often so nice and toasty inside.

Bramble.....hugs pet, your grandad is now out of pain and at peace, try to remember the good times.

Lou...no need to apologise, it is a difficult time for you all, hugs.

Expecting a friend and her 4 year old daughter to arrive for the last hour....she makes me mad that she drives all over the country in the dark and never seems to think of their safety, her car is old, she wouldn't have a clue how to change a tyre and the child has no routine....if she doesn't arrive soon I will be dancing a jig with temper, hope I can contain it!

Molly....hugs to you.

Beemuzed....hope that DS's humour improves.

Bought shelving thingy in Lidl before Christmas, tried to put it together to-day, stumped both OH and I, will have to wait until DS3 appears to-morrow, in the meantime, it is all over the living room....not really, just feels that way, instructions are not as good as IKEA.

Guests have just arrived....backlater maybe, stay safe all

Bramble - for you, this brought me great comfort when my beloved Nana passed xx
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Slimming World Carbonara big success with DH - he said he thought it was one of my SW meals but only because it was so lovely! I'm not trying to put him on a diet just trying to incorporate SW into family meals where I can to make my life easier!

Hi everyone

Bramble sorry to hear about your grandad

At work again today and not as busy as yesterday and finished a bit earlier but I was soooo tired when I got home I had a bit of a sleep on the settee:)

Not done much else, Im going into the kitchen to put my tea on in a minute cos Im starving, its going to be salmon, pots and veg its lovely to get back to normal food, not all rich and full of calories, mind you Im not saying I dont enjoy rich and calorific food cos I do. Not sure what Im doing tomorrow, I may go and check on the sales I havent been yet cos I dont want to spend anything but if I dont take my cards I should be OK.

Anyway hugs to everyone in need and Im hot footing it to the kitchen!!!

((((Bramble))))- I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandad.You were able to spend time with him at Christmas and he will have been comforted by your being there xx

Lou-sorry youre having a hard time-sometimes when people are together a lot over Christmas and hols tempers can get a bit frazzled.hope you sort it out.

DH & I have been in town and changed some of the books he got me that I'd already read.Instead I got the Great British Bake Off,and a new novel.Spotted my ex sis-i-law in a cafe with her sis,so joined them for a hot choc-will be seeing her anyway at footie tomorrow.Then bumped into DH cousin Called at lid! on the way home,I got some Lurpak too.

We had the leftover curry for tea,and a piece of lemon drizzle after DS2 had turkey soup.Havent seen DS1 since Wed-he's at GFs and forgot his phone,but DS2 spoke to him on FB.Its quiet anyway!

Hugs to those in need xxx

Bramble I am so very sorry; may your Grandad's journey to the Summerlands be a tranquil one. (((HUG)))

Sunflower:eek: @ taking wrong meds! It's always a fear of mine that I'll do the meds wrong; I have my own and Mr LW's to see to. I always put out the next day's meds the night before - morning ones for us both in little shot glasses, my evening ones in a silver pill box, and now I have some to take at bedtime, so those go in my agate pill box. But I get such awful brainfog these days, I do wonder how long it will be til I make a bad mistake.:( I have a list, and I check and double-check myself, every time, but still....

Must admit to feeling generally anxious today; that is to say, more anxious than usual. I'm assuming it's to do with the transition from one anti-d to another; they're tapering the Moclobemide off at the same time as tapering the Mirtazapine on, iyswim, and last night was the first time on a slightly lower amount of Moclobemide.

I really need to find out a bit more about Mirtazapine; I gather it's a tetracyclic, which is something new for me; I've had tricyclics before, and was so far away with the fairies that I was a danger to myself and others, so I hope the "Trick Cyclist" knows what he's at!:eek:

jc - that is lovely. I hope you don't mind but I have saved it should I need it sometime.

It took me about 3 goes to read it but it says so much. Bramble should be comforted by your words.
