Hi guys!:santa2:
I'm hoping we're all safe and sound peeps?

Sorry for not being around yesterday guys, (whaddayamean you hadn't noticed?!), but Mum had a fall. Doesn't seem serious thank God, cut hand and bruised hip and bruised you-know-what, bless her. Shook her up as you can imagine - not to mention us children. She has a gadget around her neck to summon emergency help but she'd taken it off because her 2 year old great grandson likes to get into everything and pushes any button he can find! She had to crawl to her little table for it and for the phone (handsfree), and got all tangled up in her oxygen tubes. She wouldn't go to the hospital to get checked out though - talk about stubborn! Don't know where she gets it from!:whistle:
Meanwhile, his mother, (my niece, 5 months pregnant) and her mother (my sister) usually sit by and let him run havoc through her tiny sheltered-housing flat. I confess that a few Tiff words were said to them about my thoughts on the matter. Mum'll be 70 on 14th January, God willing, they know she's terminally ill and I think they need to be a bit more fluffing thoughtful to her!
So that's made me about as popular as smallpox, to sis and niece.

Talking of which...
I wish to thank the entire thread for passing along all their viruses through the MSE routes directly to the Tiffster!
I wonder if this is what they mean by computer viruses?

Yes, Tiffy has awoken with a headache, (due to only snatching 3 hour catnaps? :shhh:), the threat of a sore throat (could be due to all the caterwauling I do!), tickly cough (furballs?!_pale_ - and the same to you missus!!! -), a cold nose (usually a good sign for Tiffy, but not today ), a touch of earache (no - I haven't got a man!) and flat fur too (bad hair day?)!
Therefore, I will not be held responsible for anything that I post today - or tomorrow too, if I can get away with it!

Tiffbits...

- meyore -
MEYORE!
Congratulations hunnie!



- limiana! Come in hunnie and pull up a chair. I hope you'll find all you need from the wonderful people residing here.




- To all our poorly posters - keep your germs to yourself! Oh - and... !


Right, I'm off to dose myself with smarties to see if that will help stave off the plague and for a huge catnap.
I'll try and get back later to post properly to you. Please look after yourselves and each other. Tiffy hugs to all.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Thanks for saying hi, sorry to intrude.
Wish I had never bothered.

Limana, why do you think you shouldn't have bothered? ....I can understand you feeling you were intruding because we all seem to know each other well...BUT...look at when I joined MSE. Last month! ..and I didn't start posting here properly till a few weeks after that. You get to know people here bit by bit, I certainly don't know everyone's background..but I'm learning. I have never been made to feel like an intruder.Everyone here is so friendly and no one would want you to feel that way.

Your story is similar to mine..in that my dad died suddenly 7 years ago, and that is when I just cracked. its been a struggle on and off since then and in July this year i moved out of my home and a marriage of 23 years to live in a flat. Think that was my rock bottom..and i wish I had found this site then. I too have felt terrible guilt that I couldn't cope, and there's so many people who just don't understand and think you should 'just pull youself together'. BUT no one here thinks that, cos we've all been somewhere bad (some still there) others coping better, others on the up!

So please do post again! I am due back at work on wed :eek: ..been off since oct. . & I'm so nervous.

No one has all the answers, but it really does help to know that others understand xxx

Well, I've got an interview for a supervisor's position. I'm sure I won't get it, and if I did I'm sure I wouldn't be able to do it, but I'm just really happy to have got this far.
