  • Gosh INOD! What a week! :(

    Sorry that people have been letting you down :( Inanimate household objects are one thing, but people who you thought of as friends/colleagues :(

    Still, as ever, you've coped admirably and refused to buckle :T

    A saying I heard decades ago that made me chuckle, but might to apt: "If you lend a "friend" £20 and they are never seen again, it was £20 well spent", but yours sounds rather more seriously like reputational?


    Sorry you've had such a frazzled week, but hopefully you'll have a more peaceful time now that DD is off on her travels.


    Meltdowns are often more productive than tiptoeing around an issue.


    And breathe....
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Haha Satchmo I love the saying. I have heard it before too! Very apt. I hope you manage to straighten out your friend INOD.

    Enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with just being the 2 of you. Having normal children would be boring now wouldn't it ;) I was definitely never a normal child :D at 18 - "Mum, I've bought a house" At 23 - "Mum I've met someone on the internet and I've quit my job and am moving 250 miles away the day after my notice period ends" :rotfl:

    Hope you've had a peaceful day and enjoyed some sunshine! xx

  • I can top that. At 16, mum, I'm pregnant and again at 17 with marriage in between the two births! You know, today if was thinking how lucky I am to have all of you in my life. You're here to applaud the good bits, too gee me up when I'm feeling sorry for myself and to cheer me on when things just seem too much of a struggle. Like so many others here, I have regular visits from the mean black dog. Sometimes it's the very basic good things that I read here that help me move on and see how ridiculous my first world problems are. Today I am grateful
    For MSE and all who sail in her!

    And I am very grateful for you, your down to earth nature and good old fashioned grinding. You're one of a kind. Never forget it. x
