hmmmm………….. Confessions……..I don’t like shoes, or dresses, or chocolate or weddings……..I didn’t get those genes……….I got the ones for aeroplanes, surfing, motorbikes, cement mixers and fixing things (………and yeeeeees………before anyone asks……….I am of the female variety) I very much like listening to you all being excited about things though……….

You sound like my kinda gal! As you know, I'm not a dress fan, not really a shoe fan, not a chocoholic and I don't like weddings either! :rotfl: I do like my handbags though! I have over 100!

I'm very much a tomboy, I do most of the painting and DIY in our house....never used a cement mixer before though!

The star projector sounds fab!

Really wanting furry dog cuddles this evening but Little Sod smells funny. Think he rolled in something on his walk earlier.

Is febreeze suitable for dogs?

if it wasn;t so late i'd suggest giving him a bath so you can have fresh doggy cuddles.

Lol Swain's dog did the most horrendous fart yesterday night... _pale_ i suddenly understood why people blame farts on dogs!

You're welcome to Gitdog at the moment. In this house 9pm is lap time - he's on the floor otherwise. However I have been ironing, and he's been sitting barking at me in disgust. Katy needing cuddles and unhappy cuddle free Gitdog - match made in heaven.

Got any bicarb - you could try brushing that in as a quick fix. Works on my fridge, anyway.

I never got to go to the cemetery today as work needed me to come in (maybe it was apart avoidance on my part agreeing to work?). I have lit a candle though, its next to my fave picture of my nan and grandad.

I feel bad because today is also the 10 year anniversary of 7/7, and i feel selfish for thinking about my own grief relating to my nan when so many others have lost loved ones or been affected on this day.

Grief is grief. It feels the same whether relating to one person or many so there is no cause to feel guilty about anything. And it's how you remember people, not where, that matters.

Oh geez, how rude of me. Hello flybaby. While I do like dresses, shoes and handbags, I also spend most of my time in jeans, tshirts and gutties and I also like gadgets, power tools and computers. I went to surf camp at seven mile beach, just outside of Sydney but I was rubbish at it. I'm top heavy with a high centre of gravity and no balance so I kept falling off.

I'd offer DA dog hugs Katy but he does like to point the stinky end facewards. Don't think you can febreze dogs but sensitive baby wipes will work in a push.

Worked out that my mood earlier was down to totm which is imminent. Someone please remind me to phone the nurse for a smear appointment as they've taken to sending forceful letters.

You've no reason to feel selfish MU. Your grief is as relevant as anyone's else's.

Lighting a candle is a perfect thing to do.

I need a smear test too code put it off for too long. Gonna try to sort one for next week, or when i next have the time off. Maybe we can both aim to sort an appointment out?

thanks elsien. i don't think i ever properly grieved. like at the time i just carried on with work and uni. i think thats why 9 years on it still gets to me. i dont really know how to deal with it? i could cry but not sure if that helps or not i know it sounds silly but i just wish i could talk to her one last time, just for long enough for me to apologise for not seeing her before she died, to tell her how sorry i am that i was away at uni and never got to say goodbye, and that i miss her. she was such a huge part of my life. and it hurts to know i will never see her or talk to her again. she was ill in hospital before she passed and i begged my mum and dad to let me see her but they said she'd be ok and there was no need. in some ways im still angry at them, but angry at myself for not insisting got to se her. but the i think they were maybe trying to protect me, that they wanted me to remember her when she was well and not ill.

You shouldn't feel bad MU. If you didn't lose anyone in the 7/7 attacks, then it's not really your tragedy, not in the same way as losing your grandparents was to you personally. I think there's a lot of grief piggybacking that goes on these days and I'm not convinced it's healthy.

Also, I'm in favour of a good cry. Feels carp at the time, then better afterwards.
