Well What Can One Say

Well its over three weeks now since this new set was put in place, and i have to say it is very noticeable that all the groups have lost that  friendly, comfort, supportive feeling, or have i got it wrong.

The three groups that i belong to are very very quiet, and the banter and family feeling has disappeared, even though the support is there from people that have to belong to these groups. People that have been using them for a long time seem to have  disappeared or given up, with the problems it has caused, or the way the set up is.

I could spend all evening talking to different people when needed, but now people are still about and are  coming in a bit like me to see what is going on.

Hope you are all coping the best you can and as the saying goes I will be back.

Take Care Ellie xx

  • Hi Martin

    I am good.  I am still going to the gym and have friend from work is coming with me now so that is good. 

    I am concentrating on me now. No the guy was not the best but I have stayed friends with him and lesson learnt. He has actually ended up alone now so he has learnt! I have met him again and probably won't. He offered to do my shopping the other day and said he missed out chats!!! But that is his tough luck! I will be more cautious in the future and not be flattered. 

    I have lots of really good friends who have all been here for me. I have just had a week off which I have just relaxed for the first time. 

    I too am not looking forward to Christmas, Ric died in the 28th and our anniversary was 23rd but I am.trying to be positive. 

    It sounds like you are doing ok yourself. It is good to hear from you. 

    Take care

  • Hi Martin

    I have to say that scattering Ric helped me a lot. I felt I had laid him to rest but you have to be 100 or you would regret it and there is no going back.

    Christmas will be hard but I will do it. I have the week off work then, not sure if that is good or bad. I don't like too much thinking time. Work has helped me a lot. 

    I am not going to meet Steve again. I have avoided any messages now. I learnt I wasn't quite ready and if I come across a nice guy then ok I will old fashioned date because that is me but I won't look. I am happy being me. I go to the gym to improve fitness and my hip exercises not to loose weight as such although that would be a bonus but really just doing mainly cardio stuff.

    I cleaned my carpets one day but mainly just caught up with a lot of old friends on my week off. I have to clear a load of leaves from the garden today but I have actually slowed down a bit.

    I love catching up with everyone here too. Although we all still get our bad times, it is nice to hear how we are all doing.

    Take care 

    Love and hugs Alison xxx

  • Hi Martin

    I have collected 5 bags of leaves but it is too wet to do the lawn without churning it up! It is a bit like peeing in the wind!!! Lol.

    I am having a lazy afternoon watching crap telly having cooked a roast and done a bit of housework as well as the gym. 

    It is good to chat on here. Keeps our sanity!
