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

Hello all

So much for a nap then back to natter to you all - my nap happened then i woke for a short while spent some time with me lad o then when he went to bed had a natter to the mushroom then fell asleep on sofa - boy was shattered - think my tour tired me out loads but was well worth it.

I have to tell you guys i was spoilt rotten in the last ten days. Now where to start with my stories - well sat a week ago saw me travelling down to our sams in wales. Had a great journey following what the sat nav said - arnt they great hey makes it so easy - arrived at sams earlier than we had thought and she had just got out of shower and was running a little late - still cleaning for my inspection hee hee. I was spoilt rotten and had a great time - real hugs are so much better than the cyber ones.

I have to tell you ladies that my white gloves were not white for long - hee hee no all was grand hey even the garden had been done. Now time to gossip - shussssssss now and dont tell sam about this - she has a lovely dog that sings - yes sings - it is sooooooo funny - she has just an edable son who was quite when i first arrived then half an hour later was my bestest buddy and was lying on the sofa next to me letting me tickle his feet - this became a game that we played most of the weekend - he laughed and laughed when you did it but then wanted it done more - soooo funny. Oooo and not forgetting that it was sams 41st BIRTHDAY - WHICH MAKES HER 2 YEARS OLDER THAN ME - the day before i got there so did take her a package full of things she would need in her old age like piles cream, false teeth cleaner, laxatives and much more - hee hee. She has an ab fab husband who welcomed me with open arms whilst asking if i could take sam away with me hee hee - and when her son put the footie play station game on and happened to begin a match against man united - simply the best - and their team man city - simply the worst - when he saw that man u were winning hands down promptly took the controler away form his son and played as hard as he can to win - but hee hee he wasnt able to bring it back and man u won - so funny.

We laughed lots and lots and just had an ab fab time but boy did time go quickly and before we new it it was monday and time for me to leave - that was very hard as i wanted to stay even tho sam was pushing me out the door very quickly - hee hee. Was an ab fab start to my tour.

Will have to leave things there for now as i need to go be mum and wake a son up - will try and get on later to tell you of more stories but just a sneak preview is to say that our mushroom friend has things growing in her garden - can you guess what - nothing against the law i must add.

Cath so true in what you say people are stupid and say the most crazy things.

Kel hun big hugs and hope they can sort this problem - well if i is allowed home leave this weekend me and the lad o are going to go away either friday afternoon or sat morning - should be ab fab if we can pull it off.

Jac big hugs hun - hoping that things are as good as they can be - we all missing you and are here when you can get to us.

Melly - yeaaaa florida here you come

Em Big squeeshy one hun

Sam how are the legs - no not because of the run but because of your age - hee hee. Hun thanks for an ab fab time - just toooooo short. Wish it was this weekend.

What are we like, we all seem to go down at once, a right load of misery Mary's, we would have no chance of pulling a fit young toy-boy if we all went out together lol

So hugs to all, i think we all need Ems & Mels rope more than ever at the moment.

I for one am holding on tight, I'm so scared to let go incase i get sucked into the big black hole.

Nic,
I think the blackhole has me up to my waist right now I feel rubbish but as Bern has said would I want to go back to this time last year and the truth is no, I could'nt bear to see my Dad in the pain as he was again even if it meant I would see him again.

SusanE has the anniversary of Johns death in just over 2 weeks and then Dawn (sunrise) lost Vince on the 27th June 07 so they both must be having a rough time.(((((((((((((((((((((((hugs to you both)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))).

Things for everyone seem tough right now but I have read so much heartbreaking stories lately and I think with being down anyway it's easy to keep dropping I will climb up out the hole but it may take me a while. As some of you know the day after Dads 1st anniversary I'm off to Blackpool for my sis-in-law hen weekend I am hoping this will do me good. I have never had anytime away from Tony and the girls and I think this may be what I need to turn the corner. Whats better than sinking a few drinks with the girls!!!!!

Anyway I think your all ace and I for one am glad your all in my life. XXX

Yes, random posting of an animation!!!

Group hug. Sorry up to my eyes in reports. Ooooeeee am I going to get my butt kicked tomorrow. Wearing a big book down my trousers tomorrow. I must remember to look bothered, will have to prcatice that tonight!!! So, I don't infuriate them even more! I know how could I do that?!!!

now stand under this fairy and get a dosing of angel dust. No matter how shit you feel, just remember the good times. Remember that you know what it is to love, you know what is important in your life. yes, it is so crap that we all learned the hard way. Well, I for one know I can't go back and change the past. I am grateful for a hell of a lot. So for all the pain, the emptiness and despair that this illness and grief throws my way,. I will always come out smiling, as I am blessed. Blessed to have had a dad who loved me so much, Blessed that my mum is in remission. Blessed with all the truly wonderful people who are in my life and those who I have met due to this illness. Blessed, cause I have remembered what life is about. So Up Yours Cancer!!

Group hug lovely peeps. Everytime you hit a low, the only way is up after that. Love and hugs Bern (AKA whirlwind!!) XXXXX

Hi Everyone,

Went to see Rochelle's Mum today, as she has been transfered to a hospice round the corner from me.

What a beautiful lady, but she looked so tired and fed up with how rotten this illness was making her feel. I'm hoping that by tomorrow she will feel so much better, as they should have juggled some of the meds and got things under control.

Rochelle's Mum was sitting by some french doors in her room, that lead out to the garden. A beautiful Squirrel came up and tapped on the window as if to say 'hi' and Rochelle's Mum's face just lit up, it was so lovely to see.

If everyone could include her (sorry not sure if Rochelle is ok with me using her Mum's name on the site) in their prayers and thoughts tonight, along with Princess Barbie that would br great.

Love to you all, and I will catch you in a bit.

Well I had a far less busy day at work today and at least I had chance to eat and gather my thoughts though it was still busy. Think I might be in for a kicking tomorrow too Bern! I have a big piece of work to organise and whilst I've made some pretty big inroads (more than they have done in months!) still not quite sure it's big enough!!

Yippee - a minor victory. Dad's appointment is tomorrow morning so he agreed to it quite readily. Mom had a conversation with GP today and Macmillan once again as he called her again so I feel comforted to know she's getting some support too. Whilst it's all sad I feel spurred on that I did something positive and achieved this minor victory so no glum face here peeps!

Got some ironing to do then a lovely hour in front of the Apprentice with a bar of chocolate. Thanks heavens for the simple pleasures in life.

Anyone heard of any bargain holidays? I'd like a couple of weeks in the sun but am not a Brit abroad. Hubby saw some flights to Biaritz including taxes for £4.99 each!! Couldn't get the time off from work though.
