Bereft and Broken

Thistle-down

Wow, you're going great guns today! Good for you.

That's a great price for the chicken. I've just looked and there are no Heron stores near by, but there is a Farmfoods in the town with the £1 charity shop, I've never been in but have thought as I drove by that I should have a look.

Sorry you fell yesterday - are you sore today? It made me think of a time years ago when I was walking up some stairs in a movie theatre with an old boyfriend. I tripped on a step and instead of helping me up, my boyfriend kept going quickly up the stairs. He was embarrassed and didn't want people to think I was with him.

I don't blame you for cancelling your counselling. If you don't like the lady, there is probably not much chance of her helping you.

There is a mystery shop that often comes up here for a pub restaurant. They reimburse you for part of the bill, but it wouldn't cover everything. It would only be worth it if I was planning on going anyway. It's just extra money that I don't want to spend IMO. I used to get a few like that for a supermarket, but that one was worth doing because I would need to buy food anyway. Since we moved to the new town, nothing like that comes up anymore.

Are you looking forward to tomorrow?

Hi Thistle

Thanks for popping in. Yes I am looking forward to it actually. Whenever I start to doubt it I just think - it's only 3 hours, the girls are great, the work is really fast so I probably won't even notice the time and I need a change of scene desperately.

And no fortunately only my pride was hurt yesterday! Thanks for asking though x

Well, I did my three loads of washing and am about to embark on washing up mountain number 3. I so need a dishwasher.... I've also listed 4 items on 3Bay - I really love their new listing form. It's so much easier.

Here's the little story from my DS about me.

All About Mum
Mum is 90 years old. She lives in a junkyard and loves it. She wears black shirts, brown t-shirts and grey pant.
She doesn’t wear trousers as she doesn’t have enough money. She only has 1p in her pocket as she doesn’t like money.

:eek::eek::eek:

He's right about the grey pant(s)! but I will confirm that I do wear trousers (at least when in public) :rotfl:

Gawd what do others think of me if that's my son's vision of me? Surprised he didn't mention I have turnips growing under my arms and I push a shopping trolley around with my worldly goods in.:rotfl:

Anyway that's enough for now. Chores are calling me xx

Have been trying to attach a photo of a letter DS wrote to me but just can't grasp the technicalities of it! Never mind will work on that one!

Hope you're not too sore after your fall yesterday

Good luck going back to work, it will probably be good for you to have a change of scenery.

Love DS note about you :rotfl: poor mummy!

Have a lovely Sunday xx

Thanks PM, hope you are enjoying your day too xx

Oh Smolly your DS's story did make me laugh! Especially the grey pants - I fear we all have some of those lurking!

Glad to hear you're feeling better and looking forward to getting back to work - as you say for the change of scene alone it will be a good thing.

Thistle-down

Oh that is funny! You live in a junkyard? Are you secretly hiding in my dining room? :eek: Was it supposed to be an accurate description of you or just a story?

I'm looking forward to hearing about your first day back at work tomorrow, and hoping it all goes smoothly!

Hi Ladies

DS wrote a story about the dog too - but that was accurate!!! Think he was pulling my leg a bit the cheeky monkey - that would be the legs without trousers though!!! Wonder where I keep my 1p?!:eek:

Anyway am heading off for an early night. OH has tried to shatter my mood in true OH style but I won't be beat. I did get really down earlier about it but I dragged myself up and out of it. Nothing is going to ruin tomorrow for me.

Night all xx

Your son sounds very cute!

Sorry about DH not being very nice. :mad: but glad you didn't let it get you down.

I hope all went well with your first day back, I'm looking forward to your update!
