    lynn that is shocking behaviour, she should be thrown off the association and made to apologise to everyone. She sounds as though she has really scared everyone who lives within the sheltered housing.
    the cheek of her to speak to you in that way is truly disgraceful.

    pops glad you really enjoyed your birthday, your friends sounds like a star :)

    silvasava - wow a dinghy, sounds fab :D

    alfs mum - i've picked elderflowers in the past. I normally gor for elderflower tress, they have little white flowers and kind of look like a bunch of grapes hanging.
    I think you may need a collect a lot as they don't weigh very much, elderflower cordial is lush. Never made it before but i have made elderberry jam with blackberries.

    SQ - (hugs)
    Aw your boys enjoyed London, i'm sure your friends son will be fine, and really enjoyed himself. :)
    Were having a lazy day too, ds1 has the measles so were just chilling out.

    Thanks everyone for yesterday, i really appreciate and made me confident and safe knowing i have friends on here :).

    One of the woman from yesterday phoned me today and asked what was up with me. I explained that i wasn't happy with her not attempting to speak wither to myself or my sister and she apologised profusely and said she sorry she didn't realise.

    I also told her what our other friend did (the one she sitting and chatting too yesterday), and said she no idea, said she only sitting with her because the table we were on was full. She was fuming and said i should have said something to her when she first came in. She also said i have had a word with the other friend. I told how we invited her first to sit with us and that i couldn't move tables as they were the people i had came with in the minibus. Which in my eyes were very rude, told her that hadn't bothered looking after the kids instead she allowed a 9 yr old child walk around a shopping centre barefoot without an adult watching her.
    But she said i shouldn't fall out with her. Apparently myself and this other person are very similar with to each other. Apparently this person won't share certain things with me because i might be judgemental. I.e her having an affair behind her husbands back. I told her that her husband adores her and the children, when she says jump, he does. He is besotted with her. Oh and that i won't say anything to her i.e what happened yesterday.
    I'm sorry but its not on, i'm judgemental about whats shes doing to her husband as i think its shocking. But i'm judgemental about a lot of things. If i was that judgemental why would complete strangers welcome me into they group around they children some of which are severely disabled. so if she thinks like that i'm glad to be rid of her.


    So i accepted her apology but i'm not going to be same with either of them. The other friend hasn't even bothered to text or call since yesterday, so she can swan off.

    Your right kidcat how can people be like that? I just don't get it.

    Well its sunny here, warm in the sun, iffy when the clouds blow over. But its feel like summer yay! So just waiting for the washing machine to finish this load, get it hanged out and see how ds1 is.
    Were supposed to go out tonight, shock horror, my OH's mum has agreed to have the children over at her house. I'm not holding my breath, she's seen them twice in 8 months and that was 30 mins each time. None of them want to go and want to stay with mammy midget i.e me :o. OH's parent always let us down so i'm fairly pragmatic if she doesn't want them. If not, kids in bed and we'll watch a film together.

    Its mine and OH's 14th anniversary today, well wewere together about three weeks before his birthday but em shall we say it was bed placed :o:p. So it wasn't until about three later that he said "so are we going out together or what?" So romantic :rotfl:
    To be fair we were plastered and all we knew about the day is that it was a bank holiday monday, so we looked the day up and voila its today.

    Bad eh? We probably started going out on ds1's birthday (3 weeks before OH's bday). Within 12 weeks of first meeting each other i was preganant with our first child. So within 12 months we had a month old baby and our first house together. In OH's word ds1 was the best birthday present he ever had :o

    Fourteen years later and were still the same, we haven't bought presents though.

    Kez and Mr Kez, Happy Anniversary :j
  • KEZ thank you for being kind, she is a difficult person and not at ALL popular with anyone but she will not let go the reins in any way and she is just as rude to everyone else too, I just felt so emabrrased that she had been so rude to people who weren't anything to do with the allotments or her juristiction. Sorry that you had the bad manners and rudeness from the ladies yesterday, bless you you try so hard and work so hard for you and yours you don't need that at all do you?

    MAR thank you for the offer which I have filed under pending and quite likely in my to do file, she is very odd and if I explain that on her days off God takes over, that will probably give you an idea of her character, yes? Hope you are still feeling better and that you have some warm and sunny weather, makes you feel so much better. Have heard from Fuddle who is having a lovely break away and enjoying all the lovely wildlife and being stress free for a few days, do her the world of good , Cheers Lyn xxx.

    Kezlou have a lovely time with hubby whether home or out, nice to hear about happy couples. I sometimes wonder how we all brave the storms and stay together.

    Mrs Lw how awful to be insulted when helping others. Hope karma comes and bites her on the bum soon.

    Nipped to Mr S and stocked up but it took ages to find things that we could afford and would stretch. Hubby snoozed in the car while I shopped after he had a cuppa and is now in bed again. Leaves me time to clean up after a mammoth sewing session - note to self dont wear velvet joggers when sewing :eek: I could be used as a scarecrow :rotfl:
    Clearing the junk to travel light
    Saving every single penny.
    I will get my caravan
  • Hi GINNY read back 4 posts, if Karma can't come I've got same the offer from MAR, I'll leave her to choose which part of the anatomy she sinks her teeth into though!!!!!

    Aw lynn , its awful when you get people like that. There is no need for it, i mean your OH was only helping someone.
    On an overall note, what if those in sheltered had to go her assistance,they just wouldn't do it. I honestly wish i was there to give her a good tongue lashing. As fuddle well knows, i'm a nervous wreck but she has made me so angry with her behaviour.

    Me and mar will get her ankles, after all i am mammy midget!:rotfl:

    ((hugs)) lynn, thanks, i just get wound her by people. I should have said something yesterday but i'm not confident enough. but on the plus side i was sat with a lovely bunch of ladies and they ladies who made my day. They made us feel so welcome, i mean what more could i ask for. Friends on here and possible ones in RL :). along with the sun shining away, lilies coming up and the rhubarb plant finally growing . Heaven :D

    thanks alfsmum :)

    Oh mar which plants did you buy?
  • KEZ I bet they would go if she needed them, that's why her behaviour is so horrid. They are lovely ladies in thier 80s mainly and they are the salt of the earth, so if she needed help or anyone else, I'm certain they would give what was needed unstintingly, that is what thier generation would do, after all they went through WW2 and they are up for anything, bless them, Cheers Lyn xxx.
