And the same to you Frayed Knot xx

Ali-OK

Been reading and catching up too - you're one amazing lady :T

Wishing you all the best for 2016 and shall be following

SueP19

Ah thanks Ali, as I have said before I don't feel like it lolol I am an eternal. Optimist and survivor.

I have had a few more very dark days but they are for another day another time as today is about hope

Oh my word, Sue. You've done amazingly well - I was shocked to read what you said about people's unkind remarks after you'd lost weight and then all the trauma, too, of this past year I know a lot of your responsibilities are ongoing, but do try to give yourself some downtime - I hope you can.

You definitely are a survivor! *and* an optimist :j (I spelt that as "optimiser" first time round :j).

What you've written makes me think of that Thomas Hardy poem, The Darkling Thrush, do you know it? Its good, honest: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/173590

SueP19

No I don't know but will pop off and have a read.

The only problem with 2015 was that it was relentless. We have been through a lot more trauma that that to be honest, only a few weeks ago I had forgotten that we had been in a car smash many years ago in the Jan 1990 hurricane the car was engulfed in a tree that landed on us.............how do you forget that but I had, we have had a bit of a ride all these years xx

Arrrggghhhh I think I will drown him, we have gone into attention seeking mode, all day he has been calling me to him and always whilst I am doing something.

I finally lost it and shouted at him only to be told I was being nasty and it was all me, he hates me doing business stuff and has been eyeing me up using the tablet on and off so know doubt I will get digs thrown at me at some point. To think I was goingbto buy him a hedge trimmer tomorrow
