'supporting each other through really tough times'

cutestkids

It is nice to see everyone posting again, it is all the individual personalities and ideas that make this thread what it is, I would hate to see anyone stop posting as everyone has something to contribute I may not always agree with everything said but then it would be very boring if we all agreed all the time.

it is good to vent and it is good to be able to come back and say sorry so I hope everyone can just move on and get back to the fun place that this thread usually is.

Great to see you again Lyn and Fuddle. :j:j:j

Beaming over strength for you from my neck of the woods, Fuddle. Practically the only times I've had takeaways delivered is when I've been moving. They are allowed, along with anything that makes life easier.

Cathedrals are wonderful at Christmas, aren't they Lyn? . A few times, I've been in Durham Cathedral when the choir has been rehearsing - magical.

Somebody up there likes me this week.

My son has had one of those 'every bill at once' months and decided he would have to sell some of his "stuff" rather than continue to rely on the Bank of Mum. WAHEY!

My house is chock full of his things as his hobbies (music and fitness) take up a lot of space.
He uses his room, almost all of my office, the dining room and the outhouse for his stuff. I have a tiny space in what used to be my office, bookshelves in the lounge and my bedroom for mine.

The very expensive bike he bought and rode once three - four years ago has now gone from the back of the outhouse, and a rather large amp(lifier) will be on its way too. There is also talk of one of his 15 guitars going... :j:j

You're human pet. Don't beat yourself up about a comment made under stress and pressure.

Good Luck with the move and it will do you good to get right away from where you were living.

Managed to get cards and crackers half price and will need to write cards tomorrow. Got wrapping paper and still need to put up tree and find the home made Christmas stockings etc.

DD comes home from uni at the weekend and oldest comes next weekend for a few days. Turkey crown and four bird roast is in freezer ready and most presents bought as we are scaling things down a bit and possibly going on drive to beach and good walk before coming home for the big meal instead of just eating lots of junk and watching telly all day.

Pops, not saying it is loud but could it be that your hearing is a little off and so its not loud to you but is to others?
Could you maybe use a pair of headphones, rather than have to do without

Hello Fuddle and Mrs LW! Nice to see you both.

Hope anyone else who wants to post and hasn't will now. Come on everyone: newbies, oldies, inbetweenies, lurkers and even the busiest bees - just pop in and say hello! I think/hope I speak for everyone when I say everyone is welcome here - the more the merrier! I am proud to call you all my friends - not fair weather friends either. Real friends stick together through the good times and bad.

what a long day this feels like, can't wait to crawl into bed later. I have clean sheets and the spare summer duvet as an extra bottom layer now so will feel lovely. Hoping DH will collect DS1 from his friends when he gets in. Unusually for me I am unwashed :eek:(not even my face ), no make-up double :eek: and in old house clothes. He will moan and groan but I hope I look awful enough for him to take pity on me :rotfl:

can't stop posting today sorry. Only way I could have coped today, done a few chores, sat down on 'puter then repeated several times.

FUDDLE - They are lucky to be getting ready meals, mine lived on sandwiches for a week to use up the fridge contents last time we moved!!! Mind it was August, so don't feel guilty for having ready mades, you've got enough to do with the sorting out without having time to cook, it's not for much longer and you'll work off your 6lbs when you get unpacking and sorting out anyway!!!!! Stay with us, we luvs you just the way you are, Cheers Lyn xxx.

It's a bit silly around here...I am very quiet and I think a considerate neighbour. Been in this house for over 50 years and neighbours have stayed more or less the same within that period.

New neighbours moved in next door in the last three or four years and took all the green stuff out and concreted over. So many of birds and wildlife moved out.:(

They have been quite noisey and even now as I write this there is a teenager playing thumping music(I used the term music lightly)a Rotweiller dog howling etc...In fact something on my bedroom window sill is vibrating because of it:eek:

And yet I have a small radio on very, very quietly over night. So quiet even I can hardly hear it and I keep getting notes through the door asking me to turn it down. The house was built over 50 years ago and has good solid walls.

I have always had the radio on(speech radio, not music)It never bothered anyone else. But as they have bought the house and I am easy to get on with, I just give in and turn it down further or do without.

Makes you appreciate when you have good neighbours. Its funny Mum had her radio on in the same bedroom 24/7 and probably louder and they never said anything(it is still not very loud though)but now I am alone...Oh well...
