    I just ticked another thing off my list by talking about my favourite meal on the Orchard mini-programme. The only issue is that I've now made myself hungry and craving my classic shepherd's pie :o

    Please can just one person tell me it's OK to be sad today.....I just am,I'm down,don't want to bring the thread down....but my spirits need lifting a little.

    I saw your post earlier but as im in London on babysitting duties and watching the care bears I had to wait until nap time-

    We all have down days with shiiiiit thrown at us from every angle but we usually manage to get to the next hurdle and get over it, sometimes its easier than others--
    I often have problems that I am unable to do anything about and am stuck with my hands tied watching on and picking up the pieces time and time again, and then there are a couple of friends who have had great losses in their lives and I wonder how they cope!!
    we cope because we have people like us to talk to, have a hug, and have a cry and have a coffee (or a virtual coffee) and we always say what if!!
    for some we sit and be a couch potato watch tv and do nothing, others immerse themselves with an outdoor activity others wade through the pile of ironing(yuk!) or play candycrush, we all find something to do to get through dark times..

    well something made me chuckle --sorry at Rose28454 expense

    sit and close your eyes and see this lady dashing about in her car with a giant karacher sitting on the top of it --all she needed was a mega phone and she could have been on an advertising campaign- she stops at the traffic lights and woosh...the campaign trail stops the karacher started flying lessons!!...until the next day she was none the wiser....she drives passed the traffic lights and there sitting in the grass verge is her karacher without thinking she stops the car (forget about the real story where she goes home changes and goes back in respectable attire)....
    runs to her now 4 pieced karacher with only her knee length nighty on tied up with one of mhocs long lost dressing gown ties and pink fluffy slippers!!
    That really made me chuckle...I know its far fetched, but I think being part of the elite we are all barmy at times..it does help...
    Sorry if I have offended anyone, it certainly is not the intention, I hope you can have a chuckle and forget you dark place if only for a minute :)

    Lejc, I know you said you're okay but have a (((((((X))))))))

    I have spent many days telling my children that not only is it okay for them to be sad and to cry but also it is okay for them to be happy x
