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

Gosh being bribed with mars bars what can I say – how bad is bribery its underhand dishonest not nice – who would stoop so low - ooooo u know me so well and what will work I here I here gimme gimme gimme – hee hee

I feel the need to forewarn u all – I have spent hours sitting on the computer writing this out in word before copying it across – I have sweated heaps – warn my fingers to the bone – ignored my son – not eaten for hours – no cuppa – ooo the things I do for u lot – ok for mars bars then – but if I hear any deep breathing or snoring while u is reading I will send cyber kicks so be warned. This bit was written after I wrote the short message below.

Well Mel u asked for a Barbie super post so here it be.

Melly Mushroom – hun I know u is struggling at mo and with Dennis on top of everything u must feel like u is going round in circles – we is here so do use and abuse us hun (I know pot calling kettle . . . ) - in it all please make sure u has some mushroom time. Like I said on the phone sat has become spoil mushroom day – yippeeeeee.

Sam I know it must have been very hard on your hols hun but I also know u had a good time as well. Your dad will be very proud of u my friend. I am expecting my stick of rock so u better get back out there if you forgot. I is trying to find a way of getting something in here about ur age but stuff it YOU IS OLD hee hee.

Bernie Bern well my friend ur text messages have been a good send again – just one question – who kidnapped DJ bern – hee hee – hope this next week of work goes well hun and u not running around the country again. Think an adventure is the order of the day so get that pink too to (spelling) on as in good old Davina chat IM COMING TO GET YOU.

Em hun I know I owe u an apology I crap at talking and would much rather listen. I hate feeling crap and I worry that I chops on 2 much about me – but please no violence I don’t like pain. How are things with u now hun – how are you feeling. Know the answer is most probably crap but know that we is here for u hun and will walk this road with you.

Jac my fellow wide awaker how are things with you hun. I know it is all crap and very tough but reading you message about your clan warmed my heart – kids have a way of showing love – ab fab it is. Big squeeshy hugs to u my friend.

Kell yea were u is hun. No doubt busy busy busy as always. Your news bout ur dad was so good to hear kel and I bet just made ur day – week – month. Hope all is still the same. Do let us know how u is hun.

Wendy ooo pictures were just ab fab hun thank u for thinking a me. It’s crazy how many people I have heard of late saying that others expect them to be back to NORMAL now – what the hell is normal – arghhhh just makes u want to scream. Hun u do this at ur speed – no right or wrong way in this journey just ur way. Big hugs to u hun – I would go one step further than Mel on the T-shirt – and bosh them on the nose.

Nik hun know u is still popping in so sending you lots a love and a big squeeshy one – I feel a secret mission coming on so need my fellow agents on side so be ready and wait for our pass word – mars oh no not that – scrumpy oh no not that either – can tell what’s on my mind - oh s**t I forgot it – ah well come out to play anyway please or as a certain Sams son would say which wins me over every time - prease.

Michelle – hello hun u gone a bit quiet – hope u ok hun. Do come and talk a us prease we missing u.

Rochelle – hun hope u doing ok – so glad that u have our mushroom so close you can be there in person for each other for real hugs oooo yes. Come say hi as well hun.

Mad twin sis – come on pop in and say hi – ooo get to say prease again – u can’t say no to that now sis. Big squeeshy hugs sis and need to start with the count down again.

Julie 123 – not sure if you still popping in but hello – are u a southerner yet? We miss ur messages – when we could work them out hee hee

Sue dawn Lesley cath – u girls are defo being missed hope things are going as best as they can. Big hugs to u all.

Den we are counting down till charley gets here – maybe a match for our wills – ooo have we done a cyber wedding where both are still babies – mmm don’t think its against the law – hope things going ok hun and we await news.

San hun so good to see u popping in – thank u for ur pms they always have a way of lifting me. Do keep dropping in. Big hugs for you as I know ur girl will be off to uni soon.

Just want to mention Fi – if u are reading hun do pop on and say hi if u up to it. Sorry not replied to ur PM yet will do so tomorrow – this message has made me fingers ache now but was under promise of mars bar to write it.

Donna – am praying – not sure who 2 – that all is getting a little better for u hun – sending u a big hug.

Now who has I forgotten – I’ve mentioned the old one the pregnant one the one that was pregnant the one who steals my chocolate the fellow spies the fellow wake up person the regulars the gardener the DJ my sis the ones from across the waters oh and I’ve mentioned the 2 alcoholics hee hee – oh no there is 3 of them I have missed SAM sam oh dear how did I forget her – only joking hun – I’ve saved the best till last but shush don’t tell the others as they may get the hump with me – hee hee.

SAM sam once again u was there with the help of a couple from here me thinks – thank u hun. I just have to say I would be lost without u. Now the girls from here are going to think u have either run off with George baby (as if I’d let HIM out of my sight) or that I have u locked up like cinders (mmm where did I put that key) so u better get ur arse on here and say hi.

Well mushroom me thinks that must be worth at least 10 mars bars – no minstrels please – I will await my special delivery by courier tomorrow at 7 – and I still haven’t finished.

Well guys if u have managed to stay with me then I is amazed but nearly to the end just want to give u a little update on me if that be ok.

Me well as most of u I am sure are aware been a crap few weeks again – lots going on and some not so good but have to report that the eventual outcome is positive and some parts me aliens have been successfully removed and once swelling has gone down I will be a new woman ok maybe not a new one as some bits cant be repaired hee hee – hey I is forty now – but I will be able to get about hopefully with lost more ease and much less pain – so very positive. So this is all great but I afraid I still feel down – feel bad about feeling like this as as I said its positive – how crazy. I think maybe this could be as I have a week of many tests again ooooooo and then appointment on Friday to get feedback on all that has happened and how it all is. But am smiling now as I am thinking of u poor souls who are trying to read this short message and make some kinda of sense out a it – hee hee I is laughing my ass off now.

So cool

Well yes at last I have come to an end – yippee get the flags out. Just got one more thing to say – can u guess – I bet u are all shouting now at the screen BIG SQUEESHY HUGS TO ALL – hey do u not know the screen cant hear u – hee hee

Much love to all sleeping or awake

Good morning (or nearly afternoon eek am still in my dressing gown!!)

Em, Mel and Helen thank you very much for thinking of me when you have so much going on yourselves. I'm sorry for having a wallow I do feel better after the weekend, some people just haven't got a clue have they. I do think I got myself all churned up though, a combination of post pregnancy hormones (will they ever go away?) and the fact that I am still grieving.

Well I have to say I have a wonderful husband......he spoiled he rotten this weekend (not really a surprise as he always does - I know, I hear you reaching for the sick bucket) but it was lovely spending the weekend together, just the 3 of us and he bought me lots of little gifts from him and Will and hid them around the house for me to find, it was fab!

I have discovered a new yummy thing too. Mars bar chocolate nut crispy cakes YUM! My friend made some for me yesterday, which I obviously had to eat until I felt so sick I couldn't move, so am off out later to buy ingredients to make them - wow they are so fab!

I'm taking Will to baby clinic today to see how much he weighs, he was 13lb 6oz 2 weeks ago, goodness knows what he'll be today.

Sam, hope you had a wonderful rest on holiday, I know how hard it must have been for you too. Hope to speak to you soon hun.

Den, is Will's cyber cousin here????? They can dribble together.

Well I'd better get my bum into gear and get ready for the big weigh in!!!

Love Wendy xxxxxxxx

Morning all,

It's nice to see some long posts again and because I've just about managed to catch up, there's another long one from me as well I'm afraid.

Wendy - it's good to see you posting again. I am so sorry to hear that you have been feeling down though hun and having your friend say what she did will not have helped one little bit will it? Some people just don't get it and possibly never will. Eighteen months is no bloody time at all when you have loved someone so dearly. We understand here hun so please keep talking to us and yes, we must have a chat again soon. Big hugs ((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))) X ps I'm still in my dressing gown too and I don't have the excuse that I've been up all night with a wee baby! X

Melly - Lanzarote was a fantastic holiday destination (would recommend it) but I searched and searched the bloody place - not a stick of rock in sight would you believe? Tassles were great hun, only can I keep them a little longer? They worked wonders! Got your emails thanks, will have a proper look at them in a bit X

Helen - Your posts do make me smile, you have such a way with words. Have to say though that you is having another 'chaise longue' moment. Tis pwease not prease! Hee hee, you will be wrapping everyone around your little finger with that one now. On a serious note, hun it is not surprising that you are feeling down as you have been through so much lately and as you say, there are more things going on this week. Just know that you never need to apologise for writing down here how you are feeling, it's great that you are opening up a little and we all need to share this journey together, wherever we are. We all love you Helen and will always be here to listen X

Em - so much going on for you at the moment hun. Your girl will be fine, I bet you are more nervous than she is! Big hugs filled with love and strength ((((((((((((((EM)))))))))))) X

Michelle - How did it all go on Saturday? I really find social gatherings hard at the moment as well and avoid them as much as possible. This next weekend will be tough for you hun, we will all be here to help you through X

Nic - I know you aren't posting much now but I hope you are still reading from time to time, to know that we all care and will always be here for you when you need us X

Jac - you have such wonderful children and although there is fear, the love you and your family have for each other, will see you through this. Plus you have many friends here all wrapping their arms around you, sending you much love, courage and strength. We're not going anywhere X

Den - it's great to hear that things are going well with you and Charley. Do keep us posted with your news X

Kelsey - how are things with you?. Please don't be a stranger, we miss your posts X

Bern - I hope all goes well with the job this week my friend. We miss your posts as well though so try and get on as much as you can B X

Rochelle - you have been quiet lately, I hope that you are as ok as possible. We are here for you when you need us, remember that X

SAM Sam - you are a little angel, Helen's little angel and we love you for it. We also love you for being you so don't you go changing and that includes your name! X

Lesley, Cath, Dawn - Hope all is ok with you all. You are in my thoughts X

Right that's me done for now and seeing as though i'm doing a good impression of old mother hubbard at the mo, I'd better go do some food shopping. Need a good kick up the backside first though as my get up and go has got up and gone. Hey ho...

Love you all,

Sam X
