The OS Doorstep - a helpful and supportive thread in these tough times

Awful windy here in Warwickshire. Am due to go out for lunch with my stitching group and can't decide whether to put washing on line or not. Seems awful waste of a good blow not to, but don't really want to have to go searching neighboring gardens for it when I get back!

My mini greenhouse is now mangled across the garden and the trampoline isnt looking good either its that strong here.
I struggled to breath on school drop offs.

I wish there were words to make it all better and to take away the hurt. Just know that we are all here for you and thinking of you xxxx

AOT

He is taking things out on you because you have always been there and are a safe target but probably does not know that is what he is doing.

If you had gone to the inquest he would probably have taken that as you pushing in or something and kicked off anyway. He can't take out his anger at his mum having died and not really having been a mum to him so you are the whipping boy.

Sending a dodgy hug and hope someone gets him to see things rationally eventually.:grouphug:

oh ((AOT)), I'm so sorry, it might well be as Elona said because you are the one it is safe to be angry with. Doesn't make it feel any better though.

Olaf is a great name

Glad it is 24hrs, as DS has gone in now anyway and I'm back at work (lunchbreak ), but if I'd known before it would have cut his absences by a great deal as he tends to only be ill with D&V for short burst and recovers very quickly, but then spends much more time off "in quarentine" (is that spelt right?) than he was ill. Anyhoo, neither dd nor I have got it and I was vomitted on repreatedly, and dd snuck into bed with him after he was sick to cuddle him so was rolling in whatever germs he had, so I'm not even sure it was a bug rather than just a reaction to something he'd eaten (he hasn't eaten gravy for years for instance because every sunday night he had an upset stomach and I eventually narrowed it down to gravy).

AOT there are some days where you only have to exist to get the blame for everything going, and there are some days where you are the reason that the sun is shining, and you alone!!! Today is a sunshine day my lovely, bless you just for being and making the whole world a much nicer and friendlier place, may the sun shine on you and take your cares away!!! Love and Hugs and many of them Lyn xxx.

AOT, sending hugs, we are all here for you hunny xxx

Kidcat how lovely to hear you have done something nice for yourself, makes a chnage and hope its a new trend you keep on with. xxxx

Good news about Olaf Lyn, Any pet holds its owners heart no matter how small.

Just been to Mr S and spent my time ranting about prices to myself :mad: Did ok though, stuck to my list and now have a big bake up to look forward to. Sausage butties first to stoke the boiler. have to go to DS's in a bit as her dog is very upset with the weather and will need cuddles till Ds finishes her shift. Mr M has relented and moved her to a different department on day shifts except saturday which isnt a problem as we have the boy. So now she can pick him up from the minders and have something like a normal life. He has taken to wearing a green and red elf hat that she bought and absolutely loves it

AOT - I thought exactly what Elona said - also, how are you expected to know that he wanted you there, if he hadn't given you any indication of his wish? My mum always told me that she was smart but not psychic so if I didn't tell her things she wouldn't know.

GINNY I struck lucky in the Co Op this morning with a ready to roast Beef Joint for £2.25, two Bacon Cheese and Potato Quiches for £1.19p each and a reduced Warburtons White Farmhouse Loaf for 66p. Doesn't happen often these days but I so enjoy it when it does!!! Thanks for thinking of the Olaf Pig, we're doing our best for him, Lyn xxx.
