hi susan and amanda, been having problems posting on the other post so thought i would carry on here and see if it works!! how has your weekend been? susan do things feel a little easier for you this year or not really? i feel so sorry for you having all those people around you last year when i bet all you wanted to do was run didnt you? its awful with christmas coming isnt it i even go shopping online as to not have to go shopping with all the xmas things about. i feel so selfish and bitter at the moment and dont want to, i can hear my mum saying come on karen dont be like that but its hard isnt it. i feel so lonely tonight i just want to talk and have a cuddle and a kiss with my mum, sometimes it really hits even harder doesnt it? speak to you both soon, and hope you are bearing up. we all need each other dont we? my love and thoughts are with you love karen xxxxx
Jayne-- my mum would never let me near hers!! i have a reputation for breaking household items!! Ive been married 14 years and am on my third washing machine.I always put to much detergent in because i like to see lots of bubbles!!! Im on my second microwave,and hoovers-well we wont go there!!!
Actually,i like my current one-- it overheats if i have it on longer than 10 minutes and cuts itself out-- so, i don't have to do a lot of hoovering!!!! X
Our hoover is like that too. Well actually it was mums, she asked us to go and get her a new one when she got poorly. She never did use it bless her because she got so weak. But it cuts out after so long, so I leave it till the next day, ha ha.
I see theyve put a In Memory forum up now, so ive cut and pasted mine on there. jayne xxx
Ive just done the same-although i struggle with this cut and paste stuff,and i had to re type the whole thing!! should we delete our original posts do you think??
Yes, i think i might do, i feel like i'm forever hogging these forums, but i just cant help talking to people when they feel so down and alone. jayne x
how are you today? like you and marie i went to bed then couldnt sleep i eventually did about 2 oclock then awake again about 4, i dont think i will be able to work again with these sleep patterns, its awful eh?
any news on your dads plaque? a pity it couldnt be done for tomorrow for his birthday isnt it? my mums still isnt done yet, they take ages dont they?
your dad must have been gorgeous jayne, my dad was the spit of elvis so like yours all the women loved him too, i have a portrait in my house and everyone says god that is elvis on your wall. we used to laugh with mum and say you only married dad cos he looked so much like elvis (she was elvis' no. 1 fan bless her).
hope we can all stay awake for the rest of the day. the sun is shining here is it there?
we have just taken the dogs for a walk, so there shattered now.
your sleep patterns sound just like mine, then your shattered for the rest of the day arent you? my sister said i should go and get a night job, i think that would be best!!
we have just been out walking with the dogs so i feel even more tired now, have to keep going dont we so we can stay awake.
as for hoovers like you ive had so many we could have opened our own hoover shop.
have to go and hang some washing out now, be back later, speak soon, lots of love karen xxx
Hi Karen-- fresh air always makes you tired as well.We can't win can we?Ive spent all morning in front of this computer.Hubby works from home,and i'm getting black looks now,so i shall get on with something and maybe come back tonight.!! Hope you have a good day.
Jayne- i only mean our original rememberance posts,but thinking about it i dont think that deleting them creates any more message space for others-it just leaves a big blank gap in the forums so maybe i'll leave it to Macmillan to sort it!! Maybe see you tonight.I'd better go before my access to this computer gets denied by a grumpy hubby waiting for his lunch!!!!! XXXXx
I have to laugh, I had just logged out because I must get out to the shops (no milk), and then saw your post, so here I am again!!It seems we’re all having trouble sleeping at the moment, and I'm wondering if I will ever work again, what with the back, the knees, the hip AND not sleeping. Who in their right mind would employ me??!!
No, no news on the plaque yet.(its my mums plaque, but dads stone).Mum already had a plaque for Dad and I wanted one put on for Mum, but I think they said it would be ready about mid April, so it will be here for mums birthday in May.It will be the first birthday for Dad without it, sad really, but I'm sure he’ll understand.How long is your mums going to take, have they said? I never realised they took so long.
I wish we could post photos on here, I would love to see your Dad, your Mum certainly knew what she was doing didn’t she.I used to go out with my Dad on Friday nights (while Mum went to bingo with her neighbour).I used to feel so proud standing next to him, he was a real good looking man, and what with my Mum being so beautiful………. Well, they couldn’t fail to go wrong with me really could they, ha ha.Although since I've had this thyroid disease I now look like something from the Adams Family !!!
Its been foggy here but clearing a bit now, so will get out and get some stuff in for dinner.How are the dogs, are they getting on ok now, I bet rocky is getting big now? I’ll be back later Karen, you sound a bit better today, I hope you are, love jayne xxx
