Hello everyone


mardatha and Memory Girl It was next to a picture of me and my sister taken when I was about 10 and she was around 1. It was taken in my Godmother's garden, sitting on the edge of the pond.


SQ Thank you for the message from CC. I'm sending her and her DH much love.


(((((((((((( PIC and kidcat )))))))))))) I still talk to my Mom, but am another daughter who scours the shops for a card that doesn't say worlds best Mom or other such sentiments. This year my DMIL has given me a card she has made, so I don't have to go through that.
P.S I'd love some carrot cake PIC and can offer some Pennsylvania Dutch Spice cake in return.


stiltwalker Miss stiltwalker is very clever indeed and sounds completely adorable


I agree with Pooky, VJsmum I would talk to her college and she what they suggest to start with. Good luck xxxx


I've been to the Doctors today and have gotten another 6 months worth of anti-depressants. Considering the change in me and how I'm coping from how I was 6 months ago, I'm more than happy to keep taking them.


I have to decide what to make for dinner and am failing miserably at the moment. I know it's going to involve sausages but that is as far as I've got. I really should go and see what I can come up with.


Much love to everyone xxxx

Hi all, CC much love to you and your OH. SDG, well done on accepting the AD again. I have been told its not an overnight thing, better to be a while and be sorted my doctor says.


PIC and KIDKAT and SDG, I too have to find THE CARD, for m day. But its for my mother in law. She 'forgot' youngest DD 18th birthday. But likes to remind us of her own. I just buy a card that is blank inside, and put from ....... That's it.
Today she 'popped' into the salon DD works at, just at the same time as the lady from the estate agents. She managed to hear enough of the conversation to be able to understand she has just bought her first home. Then she stopped to quiz her about it. My girl thought fast on her feet and said she had a client I and needed to prepare. So we await a call for more info.
Its to buy 50% share, the other half is rented. My mum is paying the mortgage deposit and fees. It means her house will cost less to part rent and buy a month than she pays for a private rent, It is also a bigger house and has a little garden. And my MIL said my girls would amount to nothing like their dad..... well I am proud. Their dad works full time and we have had a few tough times but he always does his best.

VJsmum - speaking from experience any assessment or diagnosis takes an incredible amount of time, if your DD is in year 13 she is almost an adult as well which complicates things.
If you wait until after exams, I am almost certain you have no hope of anything being sorted for Uni, time is your biggest enemy unfortunately. Adult diagnosis is even harder in my experience and takes longer. My advice would be if you want to explore the possibility you will need to move quickly and discuss it now.
I do appreciate that it could affect her exams, and thats not good, but from a long term outlook, she can resit them next year if the worse happens and she has only lost one year.

I am sure I have written that badly, and I don't intend to cause offence its just having gone through the diagnostic process with both my boys, and supported many families through the process I know how long and hard a journey it is.

I have had another long day again, kitten slept much better last night thankfully so at least I was slightly less tired today.

Went to costc@ today and managed to buy toilet rolls on offer, cat food and a few other bits on offer. But on my way out I discovered they make prescription swimming goggles for children so once I get a copy of DS10 prescription I can get a set made which will make swimming so much easier for him.


Nutty - well done your DD, she must be so thrilled buying her first home

This year I am going to order a mothers day card from one of these places online - was hoping for an offer for a freebie, will make it so much simpler for me.
My father has been texting asking questions again and leaving cryptic guilt messages - am at doctors with your mother was todays. I am learning to ignore the messages for a minimum 24 hours.

nutty can she eventually buy the house outright or will it always be part owned by the house association (I am guessing it is a housing association)

How exciting Nuttyp, starting on a new journey with her own home - righlty a proud Mum.

hugs to all especially CC xxx

Kidcat what was the kitten like at first? Did it cry all night? I collect mine on Thursday!!
SDG is your godmother in the picture passed?

SDG31000

She is alive and well mardatha, but her mom and dad have passed. I think if it is anyone it playing silly !!!!!!s, as my DSister put it, it is going be my Godmother's Mom, my lovely Auntie Hilda.
She died when DS1 was 8 days old and only ever got to see a picture of him. I've often thought that she came to see him when he was small.
