Need a hand hold part 2

[Imbluedalale]

Hi it’s Laura ,
Just wanted to add a new thread as I think my other thread is getting full xx

I will go and have a look when I can, thanks @AdmittowearingCrocs Ohhhh your gifts sound lovely and your son will love his Turkish delights.
😂😂😂😂At the thought of you spraying expensive perfume on grass.
I know I’m glad too , it’s a big relief. I need to buy lots of boxes of chocolates to say thank you to people!
I can’t believe they rang and offered me another one today , this one was only 2 bedroom though. I feel like the one I’ve been offered was meant to be, I have a good feeling about it. Council have redeemed themselves with the transport 😂xx

Oh wow! How lovely of the guy from the home to order you a carvery! I bet that’s just what you need - meat, potatoes and veg 😁. Enjoy it 💕!

that’s amazing that the taxi is signed off and you can apply for furniture grants. I’m so happy to hop on fb on your behalf any time. I totally get why you arent keen to be on there. My friend who moved to my village to get away from DA is still not on there 8/9 years later (I don’t blame her!).

sorry you didn’t get to do your plans @nornironlady . That sounds a nice trip with your ds though. Glad he found some bits at least and has gone to youth club and you have a little break.

Hello @Imbluedalale

it sounds like you have had a good, productive day and how lovely of your friend to send you a carvery...have you had it yet??

What book are you reading?
Anais Anais was my first 'real' perfume. I also used to wear Obsession .....that was a bit heavy!

I ended up working today but it wasn't too bad really... I did at least get a lie in.

Post a few pics of the house when you see it, l couldn't be more excited for you!!

You sound so much better than you did a few weeks ago....I still think you are AMAZING xxx

I'm out of work for the week and can finally rejoin, amazing updates Laura! Tommy girl was my first perfume, and the smell of Polo takes me right back to teenage boyfriends xx

@RaspberryBeretxx it's not a bad thing going into the weekend clear headed 😂 it might motivate me to do something other than lounge about and clean. Life is too short for the cleaning bit anyway. No-one ever lay on their death bed worrying about clean skirting boards 😁 this thread is making me a little nostalgic for my school days. I can smell them!

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx , it’s so lovely of him isn’t it . It’s absolutely huge too, more than enough for one person I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it all. It’s even got pigs in blankets! I’m going to be in a food coma after this!😂
I know it’s really great that the council are willing to do that , they have been really lovely and helpful sorting this out. And thank you that’s so lovely to offer to look for me , I really appreciate that xx

Hi @Munchyseeds2 , It has been a nice day thank you , I do feel a lot less on edge than I did a few weeks ago. I’m eating the carvery now , it’s a humongous portion , might have to save some for later. What a lovely surprise from him.

Im still reading ‘Before I go to Sleep’ nearing the end of it now. Do you like reading?
I used to wear ‘Sunflowers’ by Elizabeth Arden 😂
Im glad you managed to get a lie on , nothing beats it does it . Have you any plans for the weekend?
I will definitely post some pics of the house , thank you so much for being excited for me, that’s so lovely.
I feel so much better than I did a few weeks ago. My medication has started to kick in and I’m feeling more positive and I’m starting to actually look forward to the future. I read this today :
Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been to stand back up taller than you ever were xx

Hi @spoonfulofmustard , lovely to hear from you , how’s your week been?
Oh Tommy girl I forgot about that lol 😂 I used to wear my pink suede kickers with a little heel and my bomber jacket and spray that and thought I was the bees knees 🤣xx

🤣🤣🤣🤣me too @nornironlady , do you remember the McDonald’s parties? And going to Tammy girl to buy a new top and then Woolworths oh and our price to get ‘single of the week’ on a cassette tape?🤣🤣xx

Just to make your laugh when my mum was in Marie Curie she was obsessed about her house.
I hired a cleaner and every week she took a picture.
I showed it to mum every day. The same picture!
Bless her.

I'm okay had a big meeting to lead today so have been hiding and preparing, all went okay I think... now contrite up and present back. but I'm so so proud of all you have done, you are an force of strength xx quite frankly of I was your ex I would scared right now 🤣😉 you are now pricing everything he wrongxx

Great to seeing you doing so well @Imbluedalale and catching up on all the Spoons’ updates.
What a fabulous bunch you are x

no longer just the vipers, we are also known as spoons!🥂🎉

@PeggyMitchellsCameo ah bless your wee mum. She's clearly the exception 😂 @Imbluedalale I was obsessed with Tammy Girl! I only ever got to go there at Christmas. We started on Body Shop Dewberry and White Musk, Charlie Red then the bigs brands came. I wore CKone and Hugo Boss I think. Couldn't stomach them now.

Awww that’s so lovely of you @PeggyMitchellsCameo . I bet that reassured your mum so much knowing her home was clean xx

Glad your ok @spoonfulofmustard and glad to hear your meeting went well. You can breathe a sigh of relief now.
Thank you so much , I couldn’t have done it without you guys though and I mean that. Your all very special to me xx

@nornironlady 😂😂😂😂😂those were the days , I used to buy the different coloured animal soups at body shop I think they was 75p each at the time and they always made my skin itch but still every few weeks I bought one. And I used to go to a sweet stall on the market and get some pick and mix and there was a make up stall on the market I loved. The orangier the foundation the better it was!😂xx

Sleep well everyone

@Imbluedalale is stomper Pete still in residence or has he gone home? X

You too @Munchyseeds2 , sweet dreams .
Stomper Pete has left the building thankfully 😂xx

I haven’t completely caught up with everybody but remembering all the perfumes - body shop dewberry and white musk and Elizabeth Arden sunflowers in particular 🤣.

I saw this pic and thought of you today Laura.

Hope everyone sleeps well xx

That’s absolutely beautiful @RaspberryBeretxx Thank you for thinking of me and sharing xx

I love that quote, raspberry. it definitely applies to our Laura.

I used to wear Anais Anais. It’s lovely. I might have a look and see if they still sell and if it’s a cruelty free brand.

I’ve been invited by my daughter in law to go to theirs for a takeaway and watch strictly tomorrow, which is nice.

Oh unfortunately it’s not cruelty free. Apparently this is a cruelty free dupe.

Morning to all. This thread makes me smile every time I open it! @Imbluedalale Max Factor panstick was the make up of choice in my school. Number 13 natural beige is coming to mind. We all wore the same shade 🤣 Oh and Boots No.17 fake tan.....it reeked!!

It absolutely honked. I can remember they also did an instant tan in a bottle which I dropped all over my carpet. Everybody wore foundation that didn’t match their skin and never blended it into their neck either.
Simpler times….
