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
your dad will certainly understand about the stone, i wish we could put photos on as well i would love to see your mum and dad, isnt it lovely to be able to say we had gorgeous looking parents, and i like you was always so proud to be seen with them.
the dogs are getting on better now thank god.
im sure you dont look like something out of the adams family, you are funny bless ya!!
see you when you come back on, i have to go and put some washing out now.
I just read your post to rattle on the other site, and i was feeling sorry for myself because when i got back from the shop, i was in the kitchen and my knee went, i'm having to get round holding onto things, but i just read your post and i feel like i've been slapped round the face!! Thanks, i feel much better now. And the sun's out, really warm now, but just sitting with leg up. I'm sure my husband thinks its all excuses so as not to go back to work, but i really really cant help it, i have a bone problem and it drives me mad sometimes. Anyway, how did you manage to sneak back on the computer with hubby around?? Did you get an email from macmillan?? i thought it was really nice of them to let us know about the other forum, wonderful people. jayne x
Hi Jayne- i havent said anything wrong have i?? I wasn't intending to have a go at anyone!! you've got me worried now.I do sometimes think i come across as having a "holier than thou" approach and it is certainly NOT intended.i was trying to be encouraging-- should i change the post?? i dont want to upset anyone at all,and certainly not you because you've been terrific as far as i'm concerned.
Yes,Macmillan did e-mail me which i thought was very good of them.I cant remove my first rememberance message.i tried editing it,but it came back on the screen just the same as it was when first typed,so i've given up!!
Hubby has just made me a coffee and brought it in to me by the computer.We don't talk about how i'm feeling-but he knows i'm on this site,and he probably realises that i am finding it hard without mum-but he doesn't know what to say so says nothing.!!!! No one else has posted on the in memory site yet.i do hope that people will. Perhaps tonight when they're all home from work.They aren't all able to laze around all day like us are they!!!!!! Hope i haven't said anything wrong anywhere.lots of love Marie XXXXX
Noooo, of course you havent. I just meant that i was being a twit for feeling sorry for myself, when i have nothing really wrong and the poor guy, as if he hasnt been through enough, now has cancer as well..... for the second time. No you certainly havent said anything wrong.
No, no one has posted yet, like you say, maybe later when all the hard workers get home.
You've just made me think, my husband now has a works lap top and i think he can get the internet, i hope he doesnt come on here and have a look, wont i be in trouble if he knows im on here most of the day. But i HAVE prepared dinner, such as it is (corned beef hash) with a few bits and bobs added in just to make it look good, ha ha.
Well, i couldnt make my mind up whether to have a paracetamol or a whisky for the pain, the whisky won i'm afraid. Purely medicinal of course. hee hee x
I've just had another thought Marie (I'm getting really dangerous with all these thoughts now !). When anyone does come on here later, they will be well miffed at all the messages they've got to go through, only to find we've been just generally chit chatting !! Where is it you live again? I think it would be quicker for me to drive round to your house !!
Good.I was worried that i'd spoken out of turn somewhere,and it was being interpreted as "pull your socks up and get a life!" which definately wasn't what was meant.
Sorry to hear you in pain.Cant stand whisky myself,but i take it for medicinal purposes too!!! Im going to put some chicken breasts in the oven in a mo,before i toddle off to collect youngest from school.They cook themselves really,so all ive got to do is a bit of veg and some rice,and Bobs your uncle- i shall have dinner ready for around 5pm!!!
My eldest is a bit of a cook,and does a lovely lemon chicken roast-which he treated us all to at the weekend.We get the works,sweet potatoes,roast potatoes 3 veg,yorkshires (packet variety-he cheats!!) the only problem is the clearing up.he cant somehow manage to do that!! Kitchen looks like a bomb site after hes been in it,but,as i havent had to cook,i can't complain!!! I am shutting the computer down for a while now,so i may see you back on later. XXXXXX
Yes,theyre going to be well miffed at wading through a lot of idle waffle arent they!!!! Sorry guys!! Where theres a run of posts fromJayne and I you can just skip them all as you won't have missed anything at all exciting!!!!
We do live relatively close really Jayne- we're in Bedfordshire.I still think it would be a cool idea if there was some way of organising some sort of summer meeting point although poor Louise up in scotland might struggle to get to it,and as shes i think in the minority,i wouldn't be recommending scotland for the venue! sorry,Louise!!!!! Selfish is definately my middle name (and some would say my first and last!!!!) catch you all later.marie XXXXX
I hope you've had a good day, and I must apologise for all the above posts, as Marie just said, you can skip them all, we were just waffling about hoovers and things !!! sorry. Thanks for your earlier post, if you are up in the night or early hours again, please post, no doubt i will be here if i cant sleep. speak later, love jayne xxx
Hey Karen, I thought you were coming back here later? I hope you have managed an hour or so sleep, but I suppose the boys will all be home soon. I'd better get off now before hubby comes home, so hopefully will be back later. Hope you're feeling much better. Lets just keep looking forward to your mums stone and my mums plaque being ready soon. The next time i see Elvis anywhere (on tv, not in person of course), I'm going to tell my husband that your dad was a dead ringer for him. There are some people that believe he's still alive aren't there? I can remember really clear the day he died. (showing my age now). Hope to see you later Karen, love jayne xxx
