  • Hang in their, tea. You are bound to be swinging between emotions right now, that's totally natural. When I have split with people who have been very unhealthy for me I have always swung between being glad I am free and desperately wanting to be back with them. It is a grieving process, it isn't going to be totally rational. Have a hug.

    Milliefleur has expressed interest in finding out more about her family tree. I am going to attempt to trace this for her, I already did a bit which she thoroughly enjoyed hearing about. So that is my new little project if I can keep a concentration span for long enough. It may take a while!

    Thanks peeps, am hanging on. Just heard from my teacher that I got a distinction for my music exam so that was nice....bit of good news for a change. Just a shame that the first thing I wanted to do was tell FOH. I won't, obviously!

    Congratulations, tea! I am most impressed.

    What a lovely piece of WaSmassy news.

    Littlewing has passed up on the chance to spend some time with me tomorrow because she wants to go to the xmas party at the old folks home..

    What with millefleur's bar and ER's visitors, I am thinking about spending xmas in one myself. I am feeling stressed as I invited BlackSheep to mine on xmas morning as I am the only family member still talking to them. I felt slightly sorry for them but now I am finding it difficult to stop everyone else knowing about it. Not that it is anyone's business who I see.

    I made some cornflake cakes for family so I need to drop them off en route to work. An early WaSmas present.

    Congratulations Tea.

    As much as I love the socialising part of Christmas and catching up with friends I don't get to see all that often I think I may be too old for this lark. I'm so tired that I need matchsticks for my eyes!!
  • Congratulations tea :)

    Am feeling slightly fragile this morning after office Christmas do yesterday afternoon then met a friend after for more drinks. I was careful to pace myself but even so I'm another that's getting too old for this!

    Morning My lovelies,

    I know a bit early for me but been dog walking LOL!!!

    Tea what great news about the distinction:j about the other hang in there. I know it seems that your life has crashed and burned but not so. Christmas is a very hard time to be alone I know. I have spent a couple in the last few years in bed. Just have a few nice days off. With some nice food and drink doing what you want to do with whom when you want.

    Action man said while in bed this morning that he is punching above his weight with me and I am gorgeous, beautiful and lovely!!!! I had to bite my tongue to accept the compliment :eek:

    Oh and a very small competition win £25 voucher which I can convert in amazon vouchers :j

    Nice sunny day and now need to rack my brains to think of a pressie for step daughter and partner as they got me something arghhhhhhhh. Also need to get action man to take me food shopping this evening. Was going to go last night but a friend of mine came round and by the time he left at 7pm we had not had tea and I could not be arsed.

    Sat on sofa need to move but way to comfy:rotfl:

    Hugs and squishes and handshakes all round. I will be in the fort with mulled wine, tea, coffee, sqaush and mince pies and gingerbread muffins, yule log etc

    Everyone take care and catch you all again soon .

    Yours


    Calley X
