    Any particular reason you need to be speaking to a judge? Or is it not that sort of judge?


    Hehe it's for work. He's a former cold case detective and is now a judge. He frequently ends his emails to me with 'LOL'. I love him a bit :)

    :kisses:Tweets Sweetie. Your Mum maybe feeling sorry for herself. My aunt is always sorting out stuff and sending it to charity shop saying so noone has to deal with her crap when she is gone.

    I hope she perks up.

    We love you sweet lady chin up xxxx

    :rotfl: He's a bit of a beast isn't he

    I jumped when I opened it :)

    When I opened mine I left him on the kitchen work top under the lamp but he is now on top of my recipe books:eek:

    firstly ...dont ever apologise for sharing your life with us:D:D

    secondly......sending you hugs.....it must really bring you down hearing those things she says......but at least she feels able to say them to you which we all know means she trusts that you will still love her no matter what she says......sounds like she is just low and needing to vent - and you are the one she can do that to hunni......sorry no advice ....just hugs and hopes that you find a way to smile your way through those moments:A

    It does bring me down and if I got something else on my mind makes it worse. I do love her and like you say she knows that.

    Its a good job I have cyber friends like the Elite and a few good cyber friends who get nagged sometimes :D

    Does anyone recognise this? It froze my screen up earlier and the only way I could get rid of it was to shut the page down and open up a new one

    Sort of mums weekly diary . She lives in a flat sheltered housing for the over 55's

    Monday ..... Morning armchair exercises ,dinner lunch time , after lunch plays oye all in the common room. Night her old neighbour from when she had house visits her.

    Tuesday Lunch dinner time and night bingo in common room

    Wednesday Hair done if needed no lunch

    Thursday same as Tuesday

    Friday she gets bus down to Mr T's or A's also lunch again in common room.

    Saturday morning I visit

    Sunday I visit have lunch at mums. Sometimes in afternoon another neighbour visits her from when she had house.

    In between weekdays she goes intown and the folk in flats go on trips to see shows probably once a month

    I could understand it if she didn't do anything or saw anyone.

    Flip she is busy. My mum does not want to do anything unless it is with one of us.. and if I come home in an evening if I don't see her she sulks... If my sister goes into town without her she sulks.... she will never ring anyone but if you don't ring her she sulks.... indeed she sulks 90% of the time! But she is still mum, and I am sure you know that feeling xxx

    I just wish mum would (sorry if this upsets anyone) stop going on about dying.

    My mum passed away 3 Christmas' ago but when she first retired and my daughter was only about 3 or 4, Mum always used to talk about some lovely glasses she had kind of modern shaped lager ones but with gold leaf and stars on them and she always would say to my daughter when Nanna dies they will be yours....and one day a friend of mum's passed away and I took her along to the funeral, on our return, mum was feeling very morbid and sorry for herself and said to my daughter, something on the lines of "it won't be long before nanna goes to heaven" without skipping a beat at the age of 3 or 4 my daughter said "does that mean I can have those glasses then?" Not the response mum was after in her hour of depressive thoughts but certainly gave me a laugh at he time and years after

    My Dad used to say "I'll not see next Christmas" said it year on year for 4 years and one year he was right at the age of 48. Got to happen sometime when your time is up it's up. Cherish every moment :)
