'supporting each other through really tough times'

Popperwell

Need to read back and this is not connected to what is being discussed but it may help someone...

I don't have Gluten Problems but found this for anyone who has which may be helpful...I suppose even if you don't have a Gluten problem it won't do any harm to eat food that does not contain it...

Hello everyone - sorry I haven't been around for a while. Is it ok to come back????

Spring must be on its way - we cut the lawn today for the first time this year :T I weeded the little patch by the front door, so now we can actually see the pretty flowers from the bulbs I planted ages ago.

Pops - glad your anniversary went well. We often remember MIL and FIL when we see something on TV that they would have liked/or not, and whenever we say/do something they would have said/done. We don't feel sad anymore; we just remember with each other what they meant to us and have a smile instead.

Thank you MrsCD I think that you are right. I find myself saying similar things. I mean here I am whilst able(no one knows if health/income will allow me to in the future)but going out to places we did together but I haven't seen for years or new places.

Making new meals(and sometimes eating things we did not when Mum was here)visiting Farmers markets, been back to the theatre again and the music club on the town. Starting to bake bread again...in general I think I will always miss Mum(and Dad)and still talk of or to them but I have been able to smile and laugh(occasionally)and not feel that it is wrong.

Mum never really saw what the internet was capable of and would be amazed now what I can see and hear and we could have shared not forgetting our love of music.

STILTWALKER - Helen I've just looked at Fleabay and there are some of the Peter and Jane books there including one about visiting a farm also some Flash Cards that DD remembered using I put the search in for 'Ladybird Books Peter and Jane' if you want to look at them, Cheers Lyn xxx.

Morning toughies, bet you can't all believe where I have been again this morning. The dentist!!!! I decided to use some new dental floss, got it stuck around my crowned tooth and then I pulled the crown off. Luckily the dentist didn't charge to reattach it.

I am starting to sort the room of doom, namely the spare room ready for car boot or [EMAIL="eb@ying"]eb@ying[/EMAIL]. This will be a very long day, namely as I have major toothache after having it clamped.

STILTWALKER, my girls used a board with Velcro on and we made letters to put on it to spell words. This was also used with a picture above it, going back a while we cut out of papers and magazines but nowadays you could down load images.
The other idea is those flash cards, like playing cards, you could play snap but say the item on the card.

Don't forget the mirror vouchers tomorrow for aldi......

have a nice day everyone x

Sorry you're not so good Mar - take care of yourself - X

Both kids at nursery today so it is my day off! Probably ought to be doing something useful on the whole cleaning front but seriously CBA. I have finished up my OU work for the week and rung SS to chase about support for DD, we finally managed to get her taken on by disabled child team who have now agreed we should be getting support/respite hours just need to get the actual 'what' organised. Stomach rumbling now so will get a bit of lunch then have to decide whether to be good and do some cleaning or not and have a play with my bath bomb and soap stuff? Leaning towards the being bad and playing - at least it's being MSE and stopping me from wanting to spend in Lush!

Take care all - Hugs X

Hi, Its been awhile since I was here.
This year has not started good at all.

Can I ask for some positive vibes please.


First my DB passed away in Nov
Then his DW got sick and I was looking after her, we thought it was to do with my DB passing as they had been together for alifetime.
But she passed away 6 weeks ago.

We have family who borrowed money off us to help them get through a sitution they found them selves in and it was to be returned in Jan.
Well they havent received the money they were expecting yet.
I am now going in to two months behind on my rent, and my landlady has asked us to leave in the next few weeks.
My sister is in South Africa has her DH sister is there and is very sick.
I have had a appointment with the surgeon for my arm and will have surgery in a few weeks waited nearly two years for this and now I dont know if I will beable to have it. As I dont know where I will be or living as we dont have money for bond if we did I would have paid my rent.
Hope you dont mind me putting it on here but I have no one else to talk too

Sunshine4 , bucketloads of positive vibes coming your way.

Troubles often seem to come together, just when you think nothing else can go wrong, something else happens. But 'This too shall pass' as has been said to me when I am struggling. Even the smallest positives can make the day a little better.

So sorry to hear of your poor SIL , so sad for you all, your are a kind lass to have looked after her, bless you.

Denise angel, I don't know how Landlord & Tenant legislation differs between NI and England & Wales, but over here a landlord cannot just "ask you to leave". They can issue a Section 8 Notice for non-payment of the rent but it MUST be two months owing on the date the notice is issued AND two months owing on the court date. You might be able to stave off the landlord gaining possession by paying down some of the rent-arrears if you can't pay off all of it. I sincerely hope you've had a look at the Shelter website for guidance on what happens in NI.

I'd be disclosing to all of your family the root-cause of your difficulties and even make it clear that should you be evicted you'll be looking to move in with the family members who have dropped you in the mire.

I wish you all the best, I really do. No-one deserves to find themselves in a terrible situation like this after acting with such kindness.
