Liz, do not worry about your boy, all will be well.
My son started out with the world at his feet.... and then the 'floor disappeared' from under him.
He has his house which he bought when he was working.
Since then we have had so many problems, you would not believe.
The top of the pile was Him nearly dying.... BUT, he didn't so we have to be grateful for that.
What your son says to you in an argument, especially in the state he is in, means nothing Liz.
Don't for one minute think that my son and I never have cross words, because we do.
We have a very close relationship which includes *arguments*.... ha ha ha

It is my birthday today and I have not seen him yet, but Lisa (his best friend) has just been down with my pressies...
Chocs, book, fancy soap.. is she trying to tell me something? ;-0)
lots of little bits, but the * piece d'resistance*
(excuse the spelling if it is wrong.... ) was a fantastic piece of kit for my computer.
A 'Via Voice'.
I hope it works with my computer.
I can talk into it and the computer will type what I say.
How cool is that?
I don't know if it will work on the threads, but I am doing okay with them now, with the aid of my beloved ABC check, but when I want to write a letter it would be such a boon.
I can delete the expletives when I'm finished.... ha ha ha

I had a lovely bouquet from you lot..... gotta go now as I have my son and DIL here... see yah all later.

Hi all, well I am joining the club cos I am feeling a bit sad at the mo, had a few words with my son and he said some things that upset me a bit, from the past - I know he is very stressed cos his company are messing them all about and not paying their bonus which he was relying on so hard up, and then he showed me my spoiled nephew's facebook page with photos of his house which my brother and sister in law helped him get (brother has his own business and nephew has always had everything handed to him on a plate) It is so obvious my sister in law has designed everything in there or told him what to get, they were all out in a local furniture store, expensive one, recently and my son saw them. He can't afford to buy a place, struggles to pay his rent now it has gone up and can't afford new furniture and desperately needs a nice carpet, the old one the previous tenant left is awful, but what can I do, I can't afford to help him. I did say the photos screamed Burglars come in - nephew has even shown a picture of the doors open on the unit holding a ginormous tv, with all the other electrical equipment in there. He is so like my sis.i.l., a show off and not a nice person, but it doesn't make my son feel any better about being the poor relation.
To all of you feeling low at the mo, hope things look better soon,

love and hugs to all
Lizxxxx


Deanna, thanks for news of Ray - I must try to call him one evening soon.
So wish I could win the lottery and help him out.

Eileen.... this is OUR THREAD... and we can be as self pitying as we want to be.
E-mail me... you do have my e-mail address don't you?
Chin up.... nothing ... good or bad, lasts for ever love.
Deanna XXX

That seems so unfair to me.
Is he absolutely sure he can do that after giving you a date?
Is this a private rental then or a sale?
There must be some *rules* regarding this sort of thing.
How disappointing for you.
I am disappointed, never mind you and you are the one moving!
Never mind love, it will be something to laugh at in the future.
I had a terrible time while waiting for my move and it was a council move.
You will get there in the end.
Deanna XXX

Eileen, thinking of you and hoping you will soon turn a corner and feel better. Sorry to hear that you are feeling down.

Hazel, I suppose an operation is a good reason for not going ahead, but naughty of him not to tell housing and mess you up. He is lucky that you are going ahead with it and not trying to get a swop with somebody else.

Disappointing for you but hopefully the month will soon go for you. can you go and stay with your daughter again for a while to make the time pass? No need for you to feel silly, it is not your fault, tell everyone you have been let down.
((((((hugs)))))) for Eileen and Hazel

Thank you for your hugs Hazel, you are a star.

Am feeling far too low to reply to some on here. Sorry for the self-pittying note.


Hope to pull myself by my bootstrings a.s.a.p, as I have managed to do in bygone years.

Take care everyone. Peace and goodwill to all.

Eileen xx

(((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))

For you Claddagh

He knew he was going into hospital for a op, but didnt tell the housing otherwise the housing would have sortted earlier.

But they going to keep it open for us. So once he is out and is well enogh we can go a head with it.

But i was so excited about it all phoned everyone telling them about it. I feel a right Pratt now.

I just want to go in a room and cry my eyes out. I am feeling sick.

Just not bloody fare

Hazel

Sorry, but thats just how i am feeling.

Haven't been on for some time, but do think about you all and try to read the posts, when and IF I can concentrate long enough.

Life is still very heavy-going, which is a nuisance, especially when you don't feel physically well and not sleeping either.Lots going on.

Love to all, and hope you all have a lovely, peaceful weekend.

Eileen xx

Can he do that Hazel when it is all organised? Not fair of him to mess you around.

Ann

I am pissed off asmove may not happen

Bloke wants to wait another month. So i am trying to get in touch with him to see if we can work somethng out.

Ex is home from hospital and ok

Hazel

hello all... I am so sorry Colin I did not read all the messages and must have missed your report on your brother.
He must be doing quite well anyway if he is back at work, although I think perhaps this is too soon.
Having gone through it myself and needed no chemo, or radiotherapy... I certainly could not have gone back to work so soon.
Perhaps I have this wrong too?
Well you know what I'm like... a bit dim on the best of days. ;-0)
I was still having nurses coming in for months after.

I am still on a crying trip... goodness knows why, but I am.
Depression is my closest companion just now... and don't get too close or I will bore you to death with my *life story*!

Liz, I forgot to tell you that I had phoned Ray.
He is well, but missing Jill of course.
He said that the evenings are the worst times. Bless him.
Well I suppose I had better go and do something constructive. ;-0(

Have a lovely day all of you.

Deanna XXX

LW... Take a nice rest. You need it.
I have been crying for NOTHING for the past 24 hours and I don't think I am finished yet.

Isn't it awful when you get this way?
Tony would not believe me that I was 'fine' last night. He wanted to come round to see me!
It would only need a hug and a few gentle words of sympathy for me to lose control 'completely!'

I am exhausted actually.
I am still searching for my rellie and although I think I have him, I cannot find his death anywhere.
I phoned the Scotland GRO this morning and she was lovely. She told me to try England's next census. She says that often they moved , and we all think that they stayed where they were all the time.
SO.. it is possible that he went off after his daughter got married and lived elsewhere...??

O.M.G... I'm even boring you people now!
SORRY....
Well Everyone, goodnight and I hope you all are going to have a nice quiet relaxing evening.
I will, because I am going to switch off this *stupid* machine which cannot even find my peeps for me, and have a restful evening.

Mary, your girl is going to love the school trip with her little girl.
They were the great excitement of my life all my trips with the school and my children.
They became easier as each child grew a bit and moved into a bigger school, that left me able to go with the younger ones.
Bless her heart, I never went with my eldest daughter, I couldn't.
No doubt she has cursed me many times since.
Oh that is the way to do it Deanna.... give yourself something else to set the tears off,,,,,

I wish I could stop this stupid behaviour.

See you all tomorrow.
Get some moving work done Hazel...you will be off sooner than you think. ;-0)

Lots of love to all,
Deanna XXX

I've got the giggles . . . last evening, Meg, Colleen & the 4 kids went to visit grandad (their paternal Grandad). he suggested they go out for supper, his treat. Then he announced that he'd come by cab & meet them at the restaurant, because he'd invited his 'girlfriend' to come too. She lives in his retirement centre. Seems this lady has won his heart !!! He's 74 and quite short, she's even shorter. Even Mary and Em were giggling because grandad and the lady were holding hands under the table, and 'gazing into each others eyes' (according to miniMary). Seems they were somewhat embarassed by Grandad's behaviour!!!! he has early Alzheimers so does get confused (took the cab to the wrong restaurant first LOL) but I told them it's nice he has a friend, he's been alone over 20 years. The kids already have them married, which produced more giggles. I just hope they don't try and match me up too!!!!!
have a good day all, I'm working again today, and the weekend.
Mary

Hazel I hope a couple of days rest gets you lifted. Pm me if you need to talk.

Too tired, weary and depressed to bother doing anything. I will take a couple of days away from the boards and hope to see you all soon. Keep safe.

No birthdays for 2 days - so no person will be left out!!

LW xx

Think I am going to change my board name to Marjorie Proops.

Been out for coffee this morning with a woman I met, as the partner of a man who come to work with me a couple of years ago. With her a couple of hours, and lost count of the times she was so close to tears. Bless her, she is so lovely I don't understand how she came to be mixed up in such a relationship ( don't want to say too much) but please say a little thinking of L if you would, or prayer if you do that. Just needed to get that off my chest but not go into any details Thank you xx

Hazel that is great news. Let us have your new address so I can send you a new home card. Hope you get some help with the move xxx

Pleased you found my knickers story funny

HAZEL..... THAT IS *FANDABBYDOZY*......

So, where are you moving to?

Oh it really doesn't matter love as long as you get what you want and are happy.
Good luck in your new home.
