Well Not sure if Mum is coming any more

The problem is that when you are polite to her, she thinks you are new best friends. :mad:

She has phoned me a least 6 times a day since she invited herself to Christmas dinner. And slowly my happy has dwindled. This evening, on phone call 5 (2 in half an hour), she asked why I was also so grumpy. So I told her. Everything :eek:

You are an Alcoholic
You had a mastectomy last year because your drinking gave you cancer.
You got a second chance and have not taken it.
You will come crying to us when it comes back.
There are good loving Mums with cancer who would love to get the all clear and bring they kids up.
You talk carp all the time , telling us all how much you love us all. But you don't, you love your bottle more.
You are a selfish woman who doesn't care how her actions affect others.

At this point she put the phone down on me. So I phone her back and carried on my ramblings to her answering machine. I just couldn't stop.

I won't bore you with that bit.

I feel a lot better now. I am actually laughing as I type. It's not even funny, but I can't stop.

Wow - good for you! If you're anything like me then the words are constantly bubbling beneath the surface waiting to be unleashed! I can't tell you how many times i've ranted at my dad in my head, but never seem to find the courage in reality. I have said a fair few things to him in the past, but he gets very defensive. I find that upsetting as i've laid my emotions bare and he just doesn't want to know! Although I know deep down it upsets him but on the surface he just retaliates. I hope this has done you some good OMO - your mum probably knows these things deep down but it's quite shocking to hear someone spell it out, I do hope something in your words strikes a chord with her. x

Hi Lovelies, sorry to butt in - having another fete meltdown Will go back and catch up hopefully later.

Can any of you help, have 20 different necklaces that need to be displayed for the fete and I haven't a clue how to do it. I have a template for a card bust and was originally going to make those but have just found out space is restricted so this isn't going to work - any other suggestions? Needs to be cheap, and very easy to assemble/make as I'm running out of time

Thanking you all in advance! x

Oh I doubt my words did anything. We are always being told 'This is me , if you don't like it f*** off' . I think the difference this time, is I don't care anymore.

(I am always telling her in my head aswell)

I have seen jewellery displayed on a garden trellis painted white with small nails in it. It looked really good.

Hi Nic Have you got a Wilkinsons nearby? I bought a bag of normal width but extra tall tealights in our local store for melting Yankee tarts and they've been great:

http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/candles+candle-holders/wilko-tealights-8hr-burn-time-x-30/invt/0296291/?VBMST=tealight

They are out of stock on the website unfortunately so hope you have a store near you!

Thank you. I don't have one near me, but I will keep an eye out for something similar x

Oh let me know how that goes. I have thought about a fitness hamper for the new year and been looking at those for DS and myself. Already have healthy grocery delivery on order to kick start new year
