Thanks Ann for thinking of us. It's like getting a post card. But you forgot to put wish you were all here! lol
Hope you and your oh have a lovely time xxx

Hello from Tenerife, using Wendy´s PC Sorry not to respond to everyone separately.

Liz, I think from something that was said that you have lost your friend. I am so sorry for you and her family but it is good that she is now out of pain and at peace.

Gill
I see you are still having trouble. What sad people some people are, what juveniles. Try and rise above it.

Everyone, hope all is going well in your world, take care.

Ann

I'm okay thanks Liz. Any news about your friends funeral yet? Will you be able to go? Don't worry if you can't they know you have your reasons. xxx

Gail I don't know how you coped this last few months. I guess your body is saying enough.
Go with the message and rest as much as you need
or can. You will get stronger but it takes time. You know we are all here to listen to you. How is Z and his mum now the feeding is sorted? When do you think you will get to see them again? xxxx

Caz Y how did you get on at the eye clinic? If it's
not one thing its another. Hope they sort that problem out for you. Are you feeling any better than you were? Sending you lots of healing thoughts xx

Gill hope you are okay xx

Elaine lovely to see you on here. Hope your oh's health soon improves and then give you less to worry about xx

Caz C ~~~~ xx

Paula hope you are okay xx

Christine nice to see you here xx

Maxi Mary it's so good to see you back. I'm as pleased as you are that the illness you were experiencing was nothing more sinister than a
mix up with your pills. The dispenser should have pointed out to you that they were a different mg to
what was on the prescription. Ahh well now you are feeling better thats all that matters. How are you coping with the family Super gran ? I don't know how you do so much. xxxx

Anyone heard from Joyce? I so miss her lovely
sense of humour. Love to Joyce if you look in xxx

Clair sending you hugs, hope all is going well for you and your family (((( xxx))))

Carolina hope all is well with you and your family xx

Jules ~~~~ xx

What was the name of the girl who asked about if
she might be depressed, and was going to see her doctor? Anyone know if she went?

My neck is really stiff and painful. Think it's

Claire, WN, glad your mother is starting to take responsibility for getting things for the house, is she back there yet?
Hope you can keep going till you get some help with the chores soon. Glad you took the job and seem to like it. Stay positive!

Hi Gail, here's a hug for when you need one lol
Try to stay positive, and hope you manage to tick stuff off the list.

I have had a difficult evening with my son last night and more hassles, letter from the council re my garden, have to ring and sort that out now, suppose the bitch up the road has made a further complaint. She complains if my magnolia tree grows over the path, moans about everything just to give me grief, no one else makes a fuss. Think positive thoughts for me please, that I don't get made to cut everything back, it's my security measures, no one can get in the back while the garden is over grown. Always something to worry about.

Lizxx

Hope you've got your pills now Joyce, and you are ok Carole

Hi gang, just a quick pop in, as trying to get a grip on myself. I have found the only way to do that is work on my tree, probably the OCD kicks in to an extent. I had a very long 'To Do' list and managed to get this done, but now it has doubled after the work I have been doing. I have promised myself not to add to the list until this one is completed.

Have been reading your posts, just not posting much. I think mostly because of the squabbles on the boards lately.

Love and hugs to all

Gail

PS: Y/Caz thank you for the group hug, I really needed it at the time.

Hello everyone it seems such along time since i was on here,
Hi Carole glad your day was good,so lovely to hear off you.
Best wishes to all
Christine xxx

Hi all

Job is going ok so far I think. Mother did get in touch with British legion and they said they should be able to help her get a fridge and washing machine ect.

Very tired today struggling to try and fit everything in it will get easier next week as hubby will be at home 2 days a week and will take over most of the household chores.

((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) to all

Claire

Dear cyber friends
I am SO relieved to have my internet back - HP replaced my monitor and even the sound works now.
Been a harrowing summer, the children returned to full-day school yesterday so there is some peace during the day at home. Except that Megan my (challenged) daughter is here, talking my ear off LOL.

Re my mess-up with the Citalopram, I am down to 60 mg daily now - to stay on that dose for another month or so. Regardless of what the dose is, I am feeling so much better, especially knowing that all the symptoms I'd been having for 2 months were NOT something sinister creeping up on me.
I reach 65 years of age in November and for the past 2 years have felt great anxiety about the numbers. In some ways I am like my father, who happened to die at age 65, a month before his 66th b'day. My off-focus brain has been telling me that I am on the same list. Reason doesn't always win over emotional self. Now that I am suddenly improved in outlook, I am going to continue with better food choices etc to try and stave off the stress which I've been self-inflicting.
Althought it's absolutely hectic having the children under my care 24/7 at present, I am remarkably relaxed about it, just keep plodding along. I hope I can maintain that laid-back approach as the weeks wear on. My daughter Colleen has settled into a very nice inn near the St Lawrence College in Kingston, where she's taking a collaborative course in Behavioural Science technology to add to the honours BA Psych she is taking at Uni. This should allow her to work as an autism consultant when both degree and diploma are completed in 2010. (Read employment income and less stress for her mother LOL)

The medication mixup also kept me inside, so the garden has suffered, but there's always next year, I trust. My tomato plants have produced golden colour tomatoes, both small and large types. Did I know I had planted yellow varieties?? No. They are low-acid and very pulpy instead of the over-juicy red ones. Lovely for fried tomatoes in a mixed grill. I know, no fried foods, but I use sunflower oil to fry so that makes it healthy - right?
A friend presented me with 4 large "steaks" of 'muskie' - actual name is Muskellunge I think - a lake fish - poaching it to make fish cakes for supper tonight. A very solid fish, not bad tasting, had been caught 6 hours before I received it so very fresh.
Had a bad night last night with Sarah and Gareth, one woke the other at 2 AM and didn't go back to sleep till 6am, when I had to get up anyway. I hope they are tired after school today. I've fought sleep all day so hopefully can get some rest later.
While I've been computer-less I've continued clearing, and this morning posted another long list of items on Freecycle. So nice to have found the floor LOL.
Hopefully I can catch up with the thread, only been able to read a little in the past 2 months, hugs on their way for various people, for various reasons.

Just got in from work and popping in to see what sort of day you have all had. Joyce you did make me smile :o))

Liz isn't lovely sleep special. I love my bed.

Today I was running to the loo and decided I'll go once more then go to my lift, and go to his loo. I got there and lift was driving behind me, so I thought I was there at the wrong time. I just jumped in his car and off we went, no more loo visits. Really felt good.
It's getting so much better but I just don't want anything (or one) to rock my confidence.

See you all later xxx hope you have had a good day

See Joyce, you aren't losing your marbles love, just take it easy, and also, make sure you drink enough fluids during the day, I know it means more visits to the loo lol, but it helps keep your brain working well too.
Gill, you keep posting and ignore anything unpleasant, ask gr to block the people from pming you if that is what they are doing ( those you know are being unkind) and keep coming to talk to us!

Carole, hope the journey to work wasn't too awful, often we worry and things aren't as bad as we expect.

Hi to everyone else, have to be quick on here today as must go out in a bit. Got woken up by window cleaner when I was in a lovely sleep, dozed off and then the door bell went - K was outside so didn't hear it. I hate it when I can't get a good bit of sleep, doesn't happen often but usually when I am in the right stage of sleep, some noise occurs! Grrrr!
Lizxx
