    Evening all

    Bit of a strange day emotionally.
    My dads brother who lives near me has been taken into respite after a fall and of course dad would like to visit him. His sisters were already booked to see his brother this weekend but they are coming down by train and dad says he could not cope with being 'organised' by his sisters all weekend so could I collect him saturday and take him to see his brother sunday, taking him back monday.
    Ok 600 miles in all for me but quite happy to help as the 4 of them rarely get together plus dad is worried it might be last time.

    Shock came when dad asked if I saw his sisters could I pretend I am working as he has not told them of my illness:eek:
    I think it has taken dad many years to accept my disabilities and when he did not understand he hid it from them.
    Still tonight I get to thinking of it as a bit of a betrayal. I know benefits can hold a stigma but as many of you on here know illness is not a lifestyle choice it is lifechanging. For first 2 years after I gave up work I cried every morning.
    Our minds become trapped in a body we do not recognise.

    Sorry to have a rant but I thank god every day that my illness is what it is and nothing more. On the positive side it has allowed me to find myself, opt out of the rat race and live a simple life. I try to avoid any stress even family related (one reason I live on the coast near my mum but away from the rest of my family)
    I usually feel I havent accepted and given into my illness but learnt to live alongside it.

    So sorry to rant:mad:

    On the plus side I picked up the first edition of the disney baking magazine. Found it fasinating and decided that although a bit pricey I will subscribe and save for dgd when she is older.
    Logie and tiger you would love it. Originally got because 99p with lovely micky mouse cutter but I am hooks.

    Oh V, I can understand that you'd feel that way. Try to see it from your Dad's side if you can. Their generation have a whole different view of disabilities and benefits etc. It's the way they were brought up.

    Saying that, you shouldn't lie about your situation or be ashamed if it. Honesty is always the best policy and you have nothing to be ashamed of. Your illness is what it is and you've accepted it, the most important thing. Maybe you can explain this to your Dad in the nicest possible way, of course.

    Hugs :A and try not to let it get you down!

    Done a wine order but Oh my days I think I might be sick with worry until 6pm tomorrow night!! You all know my previous glitch experiences have not gone to plan so soooooooooooooooooooooo worried I have done it wrong again :eek:

    Ordered:

    6 x Tesco Finest Chianti Riserva 75Cl @ £7.99
    6 x Turning Leaf Pinot Grigio 75Cl @ £7.99
    = £95.88

    So I am hoping:
    25% = £23.97
    3 for 2s discount = £31.96
    New account for OH = £17.00

    =£22.95

    So roughly £1.90 per bottle


    Sound OK?????

    Don't forget TCB, £5.05 for new orders!:cool:

    Evening all!:D

  • Just like to say thanks to everyone for the details of the wine deal, have done a couple of cheeky new account orders (cough cough):beer:
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
