  • Belated Happy Birthday to Gintot Hope you have had a good day I am at home at the moment and eldest DD wants me to her house from tomorrow until the New year ,but I am wavering a bit as I really want to stay at home in my house for a change It sound awfully mean, but as I am not feeling 100% I really don't want to pass on any bugs to anyone I have lots of things to keep me occupied nd I am quite happy with my own company.I also want to have a darned good de-clutter of stuff as my tiny house seems to have shrunk just lately and is full to bursting, so a few days pottering would make me feel so much better :):):)

    Hope you are all warm and dry

    Take care chums

    JackieO xx

    JackieO, you might like to have two nights at home and then go to your daughter's house? That's two nights for relaxing and two for your family.

    Dumpling, I'm sorry things have been so difficult and I hope Becky is able to settle again a bit
    I was jumping to conclusions and one of them jumped back

    Belated Hoppy Birdday Gintot.

    Nothing exciting happening here; had to pop into town to collect meds, and the place was heaving. And people are so rude. At one point I said to Mr LW that the next person to barge into my wheelchair because they weren't watching where they were going would get my walking stick - the one with the antler top - round their head. :mad:

    Anyways, old audiology and optician service is being kicked into touch; I have an audiology appointment with a new service provider, on 4th January. They have taken on board that I am nervous and have issues with physical contact, so hopefully it won't be too nerve-wracking; and they've said Mr LW can come into the room with me, no problem.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Could I have some prayers please. My cousin hung herself yesterday. They found her but she is on life support and the prognosis is not good. I’m reeling - she was recently back in the community after a year in hospital. She spent Christmas with my family and seemed ok.

    I went to a meeting this evening but I’m scared now. There is so much mental illness in my family. I narrowly avoided being sectioned at one point, and I’m panicking.

    Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently
