THE ORIGINAL GANG OF MUSHROOM ROPE BUILDERS (i.e Mel & Em's thread cont...)

Mel - put down the chocolate, you are giddy enough!! Ribbons?!! Ribbons?! Multicoloured Ribbons? Do you think I am Rapunzel, with long hair?!!! Ha, glad you forgot your suggestion about the balloons. Well I do have a massive pink afro wig......so get your colours in quickly, if you want me to run with them. I will need to get down to the shop later today. The shirt is getting printed and should be here today...hoorah!!

Sam - sweetheart, don't beat yourself up. Please. This illness and the grief it causes deserves a good kick in the goolies. When you are feeling poo, write it down. You are not going mad. I promise. I felt like I was going mad, I really did. I remember saying it to the other half, but cause I am not very PC I'm not sure he actually grasped what I was saying. Maybe I should have said, I think I am become clinaclly unbalanced?!!

So get your ass here honey and tell us what is going on. Tell us how you are feeling. You have got to get this out.. Your emotions if anything like mine, can change instantly and be one extreme to the other. Happy...to say that again and I will kill you. Normal, to huge feeling of despair. Sam, have a think about bereavement counselling. Some people here have found it really helpful. Big hugs sweet.

Right sorry peeps, will be back. Just seen the time and have to get cracking with work. Big hugs to you all...Em, Dawn, Jac- oooo can I help with the lorry bashing?? I can come in disguise, I have a pink wig!!
Rochelle - good for you, make it a big celebration, cause on that day you will hear lots of people laughing and see them smiling about your mum. Gives a warm glow to the heart
SAM, Nic, Kelsey - you been quiet, you alright? Lesley, Cath, Donna, Den, Wendy and Will and I am bound to have forgotten someone..........now who could it be......likes pink and throws oranges and something about a dyson........nope, name is gone........Ah ha
BARBIE HELLOOOOOOOOOOO

Love to you all Bern xx

I'm going under next time ladies!

OK you all asked for it. This is my life, boring as hell and the reason i have not been posting.

Last night i went over to the sisters house and give it a spring clean before she flys home tomorrow, fresh bed linen, washed the clean floors, polished the clean bath etc
Then went to m&s to see what they had, found i am now inbetween sizes, these tits will have to go lol although i haved dropped a size instead of going up one, but even so, i SO wanted to spend money on afew summer dresses for the hols.

Then i came home watched BB had a bowl of Special K with honey & went to bed.

See that's why i not posting you have probably all nodded off lol

Tonight i'm going out for a meal with Juz (Mate) to catch up, she has a new man and i want all the goss..... (how b*g is he..., is he any good..., has he bought you flowers.... have you passed wind in front of him yet..... you know all the usual stuff) lol

So tomorrow i will be seriously hung over then it's off to the airport to collect the troops in the afternoon.

Bern, Run like the wind, think of all our lovely angels watching you and lifting you up and making you glide on air.

Jac, your annoying friend is still thinking of you.

Sam (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

Mel - we need to beat miss big brain, she has been at the top of my list for 2 long lol

I can't even remember who said what now, the more i read the more it just rolls into one conclusion that we all desperately need hugs and a good cry,

So tissues & ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) for all

I'm going now so WAKEY WAKEY!!!!

NOT Single ~ NOT Married ~ NOT ~ Other !!!!

Dad's car insurance has come up for renewal and originally Mum was the owner policy holder, and Dad a named driver. It had to be this way as Mum was receiving DLA and she needed to be the owner of the vehicle.

I said I would get some quotes before he renewed and there were so many questions that were difficult to answer because we now fall in nowhere land. I don't want to say that Dad is single, and I can't say he is married now, and Other just doesn't cut it.

I left it for a few days as I was getting upset about it all, but in the end Dad took the bull by the horns and thought he would just renew with his current insurer.

He phoned me sounding a little apprehensive and told me that when it came down to it, he couldn't just take Mum off of the policy. He insured her as a named driver. I tried to make light of the situation by saying "Well she can drive the car if she wants, you won't stop her" and he did laugh, but it's horrible becoming an 'other'.

I have to say that when I made a number of phonecalls after Mum died, I was surprised at how many phone operators do not say "Sorry for your loss". I know that they don't know me, but it all seemed very cold to just carry on as if I said lovely weather we are having. Did anyone experience this?

Love

Melanie X

Oh Mel, big hugs for you sweet.

I had Sky call cebtre tell me 3 times in same conversation that they needed to speak to the account holder, even though I told them the situation. I had a county courts summons for the council tax, even though my dads name was removed from the system and they gave me a rebate for the time he was in hospital...... I said, I would like to see him in court too.

The winner.....closing my dads bank account and the lad I was dealing with obviously wasn't very good with silence. I didn't want to make small talk..then passed his condolences and asked if I was close to my dad?!! What difference did it make to him and what business....I should have bawled my eyes out there and then and made a scene, he wouldn't have been stupid enough to ask anyone else that question!!

So honey, its awkward, its strange and it brings it all back again. For me, condolences, well the pratts I was dealing with, I would have prefered not to hear it, as it wasn't genuine and they are not sorry. However, saying that there were one or two genuine people who did pass on their condolences and it was nice to hear. That probably hasn't helped answer your question?? I will shut up and get back to work!!!

Nic - great to see you around honey, Yippeeeee!!! Does Em have a very big head is that why you are saying she has big brains?? XX

Nicki !!!!!

Oh no she didn't.

Talk to the hand cause the ears ain't listening.

I haven't been on facebook for a while as I was unwell, and my ex friend goes and kicks me when I'm down !!!!! Well you listen here MRS BIG BRAIN, we are coming for you, be afraid, be very afraid .............
