    HB have broken chocolate bits 300g for 89p in place of the chocolate buttons (250g). Not as practical to eat while driving, as they do mean bits, but 89p for 300g of Dairy Milk is great value and 50g extra in these packs.

    Just got round to claiming my free pack of muesli from Dorset cereals.

    Did you get yours Westie?

    Not yet, but it did say allow up to 28 days.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Feeling a little better this morning :D. I've been awake since 7.30am, busy doing nothing :T

    Susan, I'm thinking on exactly the same lines as you, too coincidental to be wrong xx

    So what plans have you all got to look forward too today? Something nice I hope, not too nice else you'll make mhoc jealous :rotfl:

    mhoc, oh dear girl, what can I say. I'm wondering is errant son still kicking boundaries for attention from you. I don't mean it in a nasty way :o but does he feel left out, unwanted in any way. This could well be part of his issues with you in particular. It's not going to be easy but have you tried unconditional love towards him. Go have lunch out one day, somewhere cheap and cheerful, that might go some way to healing things somewhat.

    You can tell me to 'shut it' , feel free as it was just a thought that came to me :o

    Hugs to the Elite poorly and low in spirit, you're in my thoughts xx

    Yes he is kicking boundaries and seeing how far he can push things. I also think he thinks the household runs the same as it did years ago but we have moved on. But the seperation thing is his own choice - he really does not want to be here or to be part of our family and is tolerating it because of circumstances. It almost feels like he feels contempt for us. Basically he is here because he has nowhere else to go and he has no options.
    For years Ive tried to include him, writing letters, sending messages, emails, keeping up to speed with what was going on at home but he really wasnt interested.
    He has free bed and board here for however long it takes and I do laundry. He makes mess and washing up, never offers to do anything whatsoever around the house - mostly I am ignoring this as I dont want comfrontation. He takes anything I say as nagging anyway.
    Ive also had to loan him money as he now has no income.
    I have tried numerous times to heal but it just backfires on me.

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
