The Garden Fence - help and support in tough times

FUDDLE, take those meds and get yourself better petal. I know you hate to admit to any vulnerability but you are only as human as the rest of us. If I had to overcome the sort of problems that you have faced I would be a whimpering mess by now. You have been strong, too strong, for too long and something has to give.
And as I'm on my soap box i will say another thing. You cannot live your mother's life. She doesn't make good choices but they are HER choices. I know how much it upsets you and I am truly sorry but there is nothing, absolutely nothing that you can do about it.
Before people weigh in by telling me how harsh I am being let me reassure you all that fuddle and I understand each other. She knows that she is special to me. That's how I can be rude to her.

Candlelight. I don't think I had fully realised quite what you and your DH had been going through. It sounds horrific and I am so sorry. I do hope that you will both manage your trip to Norfolk, it is so good to have a goal in mind. Also, I do hope that you can manage to look after yourself as well. You are having to be strong for both of you and that can be both exhausting and scary. Let us keep encouraging you.

Nursemaggie: your DS seems to be having a tough time. They are certainly getting their money's worth out of him. I hope it gets better for him soon.
I don't know what we would do on here without your medical knowledge and help. You are always reassuring us and giving really good advice. Such a shame that your back problems cut your nursing career short. You are the sort of nurse that we would all like to look after us if we were in hospital. You are a great loss to the NHS. All I wish for you is a nice flat with enough space to live comfortably. If I ruled the world.........................

The management training stopped when they stopped him working for seasonal. It was the seasonal manager who was giving him training. He will have to be patient and wait until his 3 months trial is up. I think he has about 5 weeks left of it.

There is a guy on seasonal who is bone idle. Everyone complains about him even other departments. I think the manager on seasonal is waiting until DS finishes his trial period and then he will sack this guy and DS can apply for the post. He is not allowed to move to another department until he finishes his trial period.

DS thinks this guy is coming up to his 13 week appraisal. I am sure he has passed it he started 2 weeks before DS started his work experience. He must have started in January.

You can tell how bored he is with trolleys he is organising himself a schedule to collect each type of trolley in by a certain time. Just to make it more interesting. He still keep sneaking off to seasonal. He has sold a ton of stuff on there this last two weeks. He can't even have a bonus on it.

Just a quickie, the new millionaire and his wife now have a beautiful healthy baby boy. Braxson arrived under his own steam this morning and Dad K. got there with ten minutes to spare. There are some gorgeous pics on FB.

Welcome to the world, little Braxson.... Congratulations to mummy and daddy !
