Need a hand hold part 4

[Imbluedalale]

Hi spoonies .
Welcome to season 4 xxx

@Apolloneuro @Malbecfan @TealPoet and anyone else, count me out of any singing I’m the one, that is told to just mime as my singing 🎵 is dreadful. 🌺

Hi @ChoccieCornflake , how are you? You have ruined my dream, I thought your absence was because you was filming the new Chanel advert with Johnny depp.
Im so sorry to hear your not feeling well. Sending you a big hug ❤️
My youngest really is a lovely boy , he always thinks of others rather than himself that’s why this must be so hard for him. Exs mother been telling him she’s getting really old and what if something happens to her and he’s not there? Honestly she’s a vile witch. I’ve never hated anybody but I am actually really starting to hate her.
Thank you for the advice re my youngest @ChoccieCornflake , I’ll definitely try to reassure my boy and try and make everything easier for him.
My mum said exactly that regarding my son getting older and being more independent. I’m definitely going to play the long game however much it’s hard but I know it’s the right decision.
Arse boils 🤣🤣🤣🤣I’m adding that to my ‘wish list for twat face’ xx

No miming required in our band. All singers welcomed and loved.

Despite possibly being good enough to pass, I’ve never wanted to join a choir that requires an audition. singing is for all.

Good morning @RaspberryBeretxx , happy Friday. How are you feeling today?
There’s not enough swear words in the dictionary to describe ex but tbh I wouldn’t waste any of my air on that prick .
Your definitely right about ex having an effect on my children especially my youngest because my youngest always want to impress his dad . He used to get really upset after a football game when his dad told him he played shit and it took me hours to console him. My youngest is very aware of the impression ex and his family have on non travellers so I think he’s also worried about that because he wouldn’t want to feel left out . It’s never been an issue before but now it suddenly is. Well it has been an issue for me but not for youngest. All these things my youngest shouldn’t even be thinking about let alone be worried about .
It’s funny how when I was a complete mess when I was homeless and having panic attacks and crying and really struggling that ex left me alone but now I’m none of those things he’s starting trying to bring me down and break me .
Thank you for saying all those lovely things about me they really do truly mean so much. 🙏
Im not sure if I qualify for legal aid , my support worker is coming to see me this afternoon so I’m hoping she will know.
And thank you so much for the method for panic attacks I have been using it and it does really help xx

@Imbluedalale Just had a quick google and I think you would definitely get help.
Legal aid: Eligibility - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Hi @BeNavyCrab , how are you today? Are you planning on doing any crafting today?
Reading about your afternoon with hubby writing Christmas cards together sounds so peaceful and calm 😌 . What a lovely thing to do together.
Sending huge good luck to your daughter for her exam tomorrow, I’m sure she will smash it .
House is coming along nicely , run out of pennies now though so will start again in January. The pictures my dad put up all cost £1 each from a car boot . My curtains in my bedroom are from the kids range as they were £20 cheaper and my kitchen table and chairs was also secondhand it just needs a lick of paint . One mans junk is another man’s treasure I think is what they say xx

Hi @nornironlady , I know I can’t believe how quick the days are flying by. On Monday I would have been here 3 weeks ! That’s gone so quick. I have been melting have to take covers off during night xx

Hi again @TealPoet ,
Thank you so much , you’ve all been so supportive and helpful and informative.
Right well inc you @TealPoet i think we have our singers now . So next we need dancers . Any volunteers? By the way I’m not dancing , I’d rather cover myself in honey and staple my tits to a beehive xx

Good morning beautiful, how are you this morning?
I’m so looking forward to 2025 and all the years after that . I’m me again , still a little broken but healing more every day . Thank you for that ❤️
It’s blowing a gale here too but I find it quite relaxing .
Can’t wait to see your all singing and dancing 😂xx

I hope you have a lovely day too @Munchyseeds2 , big hugs 🤗 xxxx

Thank you very much @nornironlady xx

You’re amazing Laura. I think your youngest probably takes after you and if so I’m sure he’ll come through this okay. Just reassure him that he’ll still have his friends etc. You’re doing so well that of course ex is feeling threatened!

Your comment about dancing made me think of the Weird Al parody ‘Perform this way’ - have you ever seen it? 😂

@Imbluedalale that’s funny about you melting with your fleecey sheets. My DS bought me one for a christmas and I was only able to use it once. Enjoy Bridgerton, is this the first time you’ve seen it? I love it.

That sounds so hard for your son, my heart breaks for him with his Dad telling him he had played shit at football and how upset he was. What a terrible thing to say to a child! Hopefully once he spends a few days with you, he can relax a bit without his Dad and grandmother in his ear. It’s testament to what a strong bond you have with him that they are having to go to these very extreme lengths to keep you two apart. And shows how strong you are now that he’s desperately trying to take you down.

That’s great that you’ve documented things your ex has done with the police and should help you get legal aid as it’s all official. Ha at reporting him not paying council tax! Hope your support worker can help with it all.

You’re definitely not a fun sponge at all - I love on this thread how there’s support and love for things you and others are going through interspersed with fun and mundane stuff.

Good luck with your call to the school this morning, that sounds like a positive thing to do. And keeping a bit quiet with your youngest. If you just keep letting him know you love him and are there for him, there’s not much ex can take from that.

@nornironlady thanks on the tree, it seems OK luckily! And the floor is fine, just a slightly damp rug. That’s hilarious about your cat and the tinsel. Putting ours up has sent the cat slightly crazy and I’m still slightly blaming the cat for it falling over (although cat wasn’t actually in the room at the time).

@BeNavyCrab Your Christmas card writing sounds lovely (and organised! I must do mine before Christmas Eve this year). That’s lovely that you were able to be an “info dump” for your DD’s revision. Good luck to her for her exam.

@Nottogetapenny Your weekend sounds really lovely with seeing family and Christmas markets.

😂 at all the singers and dancers! I’m rubbish at both but could form part of a backing chorus (see gif - it was meant to go at the bottom of the post 😂)

That’s lovely @RaspberryBeretxx but as far as I’m concerned the band will look more like this

Or this, before I’ve put my make up on.

😂😂😂. You can just distract everyone with your pink plastic Pete Wicks trousers 😆.

Oh yes. We forgot to ask @MsJinks her opinion on Pete Wicks’ trousers. 🍑

@nornironlady which christmas market are you going to?
Would love to get away for a few days next year!

@Munchyseeds2 you have me mixed up with @Nottogetapenny I think. I didn't make it further than my own city market this year. Last time we booked a trip away the flights were cancelled 😂

@nornironlady Hi we are going to a Christmas market in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria. I’m really looking forward to it. X

I’d rather cover myself in honey and staple my tits to a beehive xx
This can be arranged Laura 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, there would probably be dancing of a sort going on in that situation... 😂😂

@Nottogetapenny sorry for the confusion. Have a lovely time, hope its not too windy!

There's a lot of bugs going around and both my husband and me have had what seems like an eternal cold. I was stupid enough to say that I felt almost like myself on Monday when calling Mum. Wednesday evening I had a fever and a painful chest when I was breathing in or out. Having had sepsis and septic shock, I was worried about it turning into pneumonia as I'm static most of the day. Luckily I was feeling better in the morning. I hope you start to feel better soon and can regain your sense of smell. You want to be able to taste the yummy special food that's around at this time of year. Husband has already "tested" one of the Christmas cakes that was hidden in the cupboard. 🤣

We aren't as organised as it sounds. I'm definitely going to be scrambling with getting cards made and given out, just before Christmas too!
