Lainey - Thinking of you all ((((hugs))))

[Deleted User]

Lainey I too am thinking of you and hope that you are OK a difficult time for everyone and I'm sure your DM knows how much she is loved and cared for

Dumpling well done honey you are slowly but surely getting there Making an objective or goal will help I'm sure

Tru you have the patience of a saint I hate sulky folk perhaps he needs some 'OH training' :):).

Well we won at quiz night last night :) so two bottles of plonk have been put away until we have enough for one for each of us .
This afternoon I am off to my U3A monthly meeting and we are having an old fashioned beetle drive so it should be fun.
weather is getting a bit windy and cold here in north Kent although it was sunny earlier on I am just hoping the snow stays away Tomorrow night I have to pick Ben and his g/f Candice up from Gatwick on their return from Berlin, M25 can be a nightmare when the weather is bad,fingers crossed.

Right time for a cup of coffee then I am going to make some parsnip and apple soup I haven't any cooking apples but a few starting to wrinkle eating apples will do the job just as well and it uses them up.I have a small list of things needed to buy foodwise this week but will hold off until tomorrow I think as I have enough indoors at the moment

have a good day chums what ever you are doing

JackieO what U3A do you go to? I have just sent my cheque for the Welling one! There was one nearer in SE London but it sounded all very highfalutin' and did not appeal and very expensive too. The Welling lot seem to have a few nice groups going and it is only a short drive or bus ride.

I decided I really cannot be stuck indoor anymore, at least this will get me out a bit.

PS well done on the quiz win!

FBO I'm pleased your Sis's operation went better than you'd feared. Back pain is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy!

Tru my XH was like that - he could sulk for England! I put up with it for a good many years, but when he started getting physical with it, enough was enough.
I did have to laugh at the mental image of the girls pecking at their half orange-onna-string.
The wolves at the Anglian Wolf Society used to get similar - not oranges, but they'd get a whole rabbit put in a gunny-sack and tied up so that they had to work for it - it kept their minds occupied.
Sadly the AWS has closed now; their last wolf, Aiyana, passed away last month, (I remember seeing her and her sister Kaya as pups) and as both the directors feel it's time to retire, that's what they are doing, rather than get more wolves.

Afternoon folks. We had a change of plan and went shopping this morning just in case we are snowed in tomorrow! The only thing we were in danger of running out of was fresh milk as the DGDs can drink it by the bucketful. So brought the shopping forward a day! Didn't need much, just dairy, fruit and veg, as the freezers are still feeding us well!

It's still blowing a hooley here but not quite as strongly as it was I don't think. Surprisingly our roof wasn't in the garden after all but there was an awful lot of rubbish from someone's blown over bin! But by heck it feels pretty parky out there!

Mr TA had a telephone call this morning from Leeds re the biopsies that were taken when he went in for the stent before Xmas. They show nothing sinister, other than inflamation, and they will review him when his stent is due to be replaced. Looks as though as he is stuck with his 2 hourly loo trips through the night then! But at least the biopsies are one thing less to worry about with his many other health problems.

SPEKY my youngest DGD's middle name is Willow. I rather like it and think it's a pretty name! But everyone has different tastes and it would be a strange world if everyone plumped for the same name!

Well the decluttering never got started today after all, with the change in shopping day. Maybe tomorrow?!! I'm getting my feet up now with my book until the DGDs descend on us!

Enjoy the rest of the day if you can. Stay warm and safe and thinking especially of dear LAINEY. xx

Lainey thinking of you and your family x

Afternoon all
I didn't get chance to post this morning as I got up late.
I have a colleague who has just split up with her husband, he too is sulky but the final straw was when the wife's mum was ill he wouldn't let MIL stay with them but then expected his wife to care for his mum now she is ill.
Another colleague is having a meeting at the hospice where her mum is, the hospice want her to go home (she only has a couple of weeks left) and colleagues husband is also refusing to have MIL with them. I can see another marriage on the rocks.
I was 50 when my ex & I split up and the same year a friend of mine said 'I looked at my husband one day and thought, do I really want this grief and aggravation for the rest of my life?' She also got divorced.
Hugs Hester

I know this can't help, but i am thinking of you Lainey.

I hope this doesn't come across as smug (or tempting fate) but I feel more content and happier than I have ever done. We will have been married 38 years this year. Neither of us are sulkers, we are both fairly even tempered - DH more so than me. After living with my moody dad for 18 years I was attracted to DH's nice nature, he couldn't be more different than dad.

Lovely to hear that Snoozer, my L&M doesn't sulk either.
