    Hello

    Special hugs to Grannybroon... and anyone else in need

    Hi Elllie ..im here :j ...feeling like a bag of doo doo tied in the middle...so today has been mainly spent shoving pain killers down my throat, sleeping and drinking heaps of milky tea:p .... I did try to post this morning...but it keeps waiting till i have typed loads..and then throwing me off:mad: ... so i gave up before i was forced to kick the PC up n down the road with my good leg :rotfl:

    Stef..... i know its not nice... but if you have a visitor in your bath..pour shampoo on him..its quite heavy, so his legs will drop off and you can wash him away... sorry to anyone not wanting to kill them...:o

    Still OSing....using stuff that recently got cooked up to fill the freezer... knew it would come in handy...just not this soon:D ...so it was roast chicken, HM stuffing, mashed potato n celeriac, nobbies, broccoli, cabbage and carrots for tea....took me ages to get through it but it was yummy... did extra pots, veg n stuffing which will be bubble n squeaked with HM sausages tomorrow :j

    The house is now starting to bug me.... Monday i am getting those windows :mad: ...everything else is still looking ok..but im missing having a good fettle...still will soon have a good bash at it:p ..

    Off to the dentist tomorrow and if he doesn't give me some antibiotics im not moving from the chair :p ..i know i have and abcess/infection - again..as my whole mouth is throbbing..
    Heck listen to me moan.. should count myself lucky.. must give myself a talking to....
    No more grumbles....
    will be back tomorrow tickity boo....

    Hugs to all in need :D

    (((((((Shez)))))))), stop beating yourself up!!! You most certainly are not useless or any other derogatory term you might use on yourself. You are kind, funny, and well........ just very nice:D :D

    Try comparing yourself to me and you'll soon feel heaps better, honestly. As for small houses etc., I have the smallest house of anybody I know and I raised 4 hulking sons in it!:eek: So what? They've turned out happy, healthy, well adjusted and able to share! I've never meal-planned in my life, and am as far from a domestic goddess as you can get:rotfl: Our car is *well-used*, I think that's the term!!!

    You get periods like this when everything goes wrong, but it will come right again, promise;)

    Take care,

    CMxxxxx

    Thinking of you too grannybroon, on this sad anniversary.
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

    Hi everyone

    So sorry to not be on bright and breezy in the morning but life has overtaken me

    I have read the threads through and the one thing I feel about this forum is just how much support and good feeling there is for each other. I dont think many of us know each other apart from on the forum and yet everyone wants everyone to succeed, pull through bad times, support each other when we are feeling poorly, lonely, sad , overweight, in debt, in trouble, anxious
    the list coud go on and on.

    Anyway can I just say long may it continue I think you are all brilliant.

    AND I LOVE MY DAILY DOSES OF HELLO'S
    thank you so much x x x

    So I am too tired to go on and rereading this it sounds like I have been on the vino BUT I HAVEN'T

    Sometimes some things need to be said out loud and if 1 person feels better by belonging to a forum like this I think what happens here is brilliant.

    Congratulations to all those celebrating, gentle thoughts to all those feeling sad or alone

    Hi to the newbies!

    AND Anniestar, Heavenleigh and Elie2912 I particularly think you are great!!!!
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    I am not beating myself up about Dad but he was a wonderful man. 26 years on and still l miss him so much. DD was only 1 plus less than a month when he died and DS only 3 so they feel he is missing too as didn't really know him.

    I am a bit caught up with family things just now so a bit emotional. Why is my brother so adament he isn't coming home from Florioda to see Mum? For heaven's sake she is 82.

    I am really worried about tomorrow workwise. I have done everything possible to make it happen. If things go wrong IT wise tomorrow afternoon down to me but ............. We are putting a big thing on for almost 200 folk.


    I have changed my signature twice today and will change tomorow. Just want to reflect how much Dad meant to me.

    I need to retire but too much financially to give up.

    I think I have isolated the problem though - you said you went out and didnt buy yourself anything - WRONG - dont you remember when you were a kid it was something for you something for me:D Treat yourself hun sounds like you need it.
