24/7

Morning all,

its grey and miserable here today too, after a lovely sunny day yesterday.

it sounds as if you had a nice evening Moomy.

very quiet here today as my parents have gone home. So after a month of having people around all the time I am on my own again. 

It is bl....dy awful here. Cold grey and extremely wet. 

Glad ad you had a lovely time Moomy.

Lynda you probably need a little rest. See you Tuesday (bring your brolly) xxx

Moomy, hope you enjoyed the performance, what a lovely present!

Lynda, is it nice to have some time alone or do you prefer the company? 

Weather here is pants too Christine! Did get a lovely cycle and lunch in with Gav yesterday so at least we enjoyed the sunshine before the deluge today.

6 sleeps to my holiday whoop.

Sending hugs for chemo week Gillian xxxx

love Jakki xx

I don't know Jakki. I find having people around all the time a strain as im not used to the noise. Then I get used to it, and when they go everything seems so silent again.

Lynda, those contrast challenges will be there much of the time.......hard to cope with. Sending you huge hugs, the time when you adapt easily will be the time you are ok in yourself. Till then, be kind to yourself and give yourself time to get there.....trite I guess......but think you should be kinder to you! 

More hugs, for a very special lady - you xxxx

Moomy, you are very wise, and say some lovely things.

thinking about it sensibly you are right. After 28 years together and only ever having lived alone for 6 months in my life before it isn't surprising that I am finding it hard to get used to.

partly my mood today is caused by worry about the new house which is due to complete Friday, and having to organise so much to do with it alone. So I'm sorry all in advance........but expect lots of moaning in the next three months while I try and get organised, target date to move in is November.

Hi Lynda,  sorry, just seen your post had to reply.  I am sure you are worried about the house, but look at all the things you have achieved, you have sold your house gone on holiday, and even bought an ice cream in Germany.  I expect some of it will be difficult but you have done so well, please be proud of yourself you are and will be able to cope with any problems that comes your way.  A little of your own advice back to you, day at a time, list down what you have to do and cross them off as they go, you have plenty of time til November, no rush.  Jasmin 

Thank you for the encouragement Jasmin.

you are so right. A list would help loads. Im going to make one now. I think once the purchase goes through and I can start actually doing things it will get easier.

my dad is going to come down and put doors and ends on to a covered passageway to make a utility room for me.......so that's one thing less for me to find a workman to do. However he still has to break the news to mum that they are coming up for two weeks in November! 

I know now everything I am dealing with is trivial in comparison to your problems at the moment so I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.

Lynda, you are always and have always been by my side, through my most worrying of times and the occasional good ones. I do not see your situation as trivial, you are doing so well, just hope I can offer a little bit of reassurance and support to you Jasmin 

Flippn' 'eck,what an 'orrible day we are having,we have just got everything put away after the day doing a cake & wand stall,very pleasantly surprised by how much we made & even more surprised when a lady said they're having a medieval do & would we like to do a stall as they don't have anybody that day selling cakes,we are already booked in for next years steampunk day & am going to book in for another do next year,i may even make jam & cakes to be entered in the competitions at that one

so please you had a lovely time yesterday Moomy,wish i could get Vince to go to something like that but he's a boring old git

Bless you Lynda,i do hope you're soon feeling happier,i can't imagine what it's like to be on your own,  You are such a brave lady,i wouldn't be able to sell up & move on my own or go on holiday now,i find the older i get the more i need somebody to say that i'm doing the right thing when it comes to major decisions,bet your mum will be thrilled to come & stay with you while your dad does some work & if she's like my mum she'll be finding something that she can do while they're there

Pleased you planned to go out yesterday Jakki,would have been a tad wet on a bike today,where are you off to on holiday Jakki,we have a few weeks befor ours & i think Vince is only having 2 days off that week so we can go visit Moomy & have a day on the beach with our friends & their 3 little girls,he says that way he'll have more days to take off & have a long weekend with me,bless him

Hope all goes well for you with the chemo Gillian & that you don't suffer too much with side effects, hope you enjoyed last night with your friends

Hello Christine,still no sign of kittens yet,Polly is still falling through the door everytime we open it & this morning while we were loading the car she was wandering round the room as if she owned the place,never known such a cheeky monkey as she is,she even helped herself to the dreamies Vince had put on the floor for Pud

Hope all are having a lovely evening

Love & hugs to all
