Snowys Mum, I think your daughter owes you one HUGE apology. How she had the nerve to ask you to babysit after what she said to you, I don't know! However I think you are a lovely, caring, understanding and forgiving mother who is doing her best in a difficult situation. I REALLY hope when you see your daughter she has the guts to look you in the eyes and apologise.
You are an amazing woman who deserves to be treated, so much better! Let's hope your daughter can see that!!
Sending you.....
Take Care Hun xxxxxxxxx
Hi all, well I had a lovely couple if hours with Prickles and her family yesterday. We chatted and laughed, it was so nice! The rest of the day was okay, I watched a film with my parents and then enjoyed a Very Nice Bubble Bath, thanks to a lovely Christmas gift from Prickles lovely daughters.
But head still all over the place and really starting to get fed up with feeling like this. It's just a very odd place to be.
Them telling me a finishing date has completely thrown me. I've lost complete trust in them and although I love the little girl. I'm really not sure how I continue to help her to grow and learn when all I will be thinking about is Where I go From Here!
Anyway enough about me. I just wanted to send a (((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))) to anyone who needs one and also Say,,,...
Lots of Love to you all xxxxxxxxxx
Dear LondonLassi
thanks for posting what day it is ! I struggle when I wake up to think what day it is !!!
Chemo brain - short term memory problem - plus not working and being holidays just don’t help !!
Aaah Saturday - back to sleep then, nice and snug. But want to get up and put a wash on !!
i can do both as hubby still snoozing , so I can come back to bed . 
Hope you manage a nice day Sal , great if you can meet some friends for a coffee or go and frighten the life out of some one on their own, in Tesco’s cafe and sit and have a coffee and say hello - beautiful day ( even if it’s raining) !! Just think YOU could be the only one they speak to today ( or all week ) . Remember Smile and the world will smile with you! Well it won’t be for the want of trying !
I once took my children and a friends to the beach and I got chatting to this other mum ( huge expanse of sand but I homed in !) 
and her children . Turns out she was opening a shop and needed part time childcare - yip I got her children to childmind.
Today im doing washing , hopefully finish my Christmas jigsaw ( I’ve alreadt done one ) need to get Santa finished and put away , I got a new one of a scene in Venice that I want to get started on ! Once you start jigsaws you get hooked !
Have a nice day Sal
love Lorna

Hi LondonLass
. Glad that you had a lovely time with Prickles and her family
Life is bloody unfair at times! I remember years ago I was teaching basic skills : Literacy to adults in a North London College; with one month to go of a year, I was called into my Line Manager’s Office ( lunch time) and was told that they had to let me go as they wished to add my weekly class to another one ( to save money). I said from when am I redundant, she replied from today. ( I was a part -time FE Lecturer).
I felt so annoyed at this treatment, that I could not let the students know ( too painful) also I had decided that I was not going to continue teaching them, the Manager later rang me and asked if I wanted to teach the final month, I replied no.
I have been made redundant from other FE part time posts ( again when funding ends etc )so I learnt not to take it personally. So I retrained and became a Local Authority Careers Adviser ( secondary schools), as there was a shortage of CA’s at that time, and I had the skills set to match the work.
There is always constant change ... have you thought about something aligned to Childcare but not too physical eg Administration/ PA to Head Teacher at a nursery/ primary school ?
Lots of love

To everyone who feels fed up !!! Including myself often 
Golden oldies funny ones I hope ...
