Need a hand hold part 4

[Imbluedalale]

Hi spoonies .
Welcome to season 4 xxx

The group is now live! Some people's settings didn't allow me to join them automatically but I've sent an invite. Feel free to adjust the name/description/photo etc, I've just put a Christmassy spoon one on for now.

I think i've added everyone who has pm'd but happy to add anyone else. Can someone add @TealPoet and @Malbecfan ? I don't have their numbers but I'm pretty sure they said they wanted to join. And @BeNavyCrab ? And anyone else (sorry, mind like a sieve but I don't want to miss anyone out).

@Imbluedalale
Trust me.

A real mouse will get in your shed and set up home and have lots more mice....they only need a hole the width of a pencil
Don't keep anything in there they can chew through xx

You are so understanding and inspire such optimism. I think we've turned a corner together. As mother of the groom felt obliged to browse in some posh shops for outfits. Naddah. Went back to where I always shop - wedding/holiday wardrobe sorted effortlessly. Dress is midi length, cream with delicate florals, flattering high neck and doesn't cling in the wrong places! Did splash out on shoes/bag. (Beans on toast or your left over ham in my January budget 😍). Daughter's lovely friends have loaned a whole lot of fascinators to try. New daughter-in-law has all the girls booked in for hair and make-up. She is a gem - great mix of strong but gentle. We all want those great life partners for our kids, don't we? You are so unspoilt by what you've suffered and what a bond you've set up in this group.

I’ll send you there numbers on pm xx

This made me spit my coffee out Laura 🤣🤣🤣 I guess you should be glad you had knickers on. 🤭🤭

Thank you @Munchyseeds2 My progress is good! Have a wonderful Christmas.

Also, just want to agree with @Munchyseeds2 , don’t store anything other than tins in your shed, and those only if really dry otherwise they will rust. If you need to store packets put them in a big “Really Useful” box as they are vermin proof. You can get the RU boxes from Amazon or B&Q

I'm so sorry! So near and yet so far - I should have nabbed another one and posted it to you somehow, but I'm not actually in Banbury now. Ah I feel bad for getting your hopes up. They are in stock on Ocado but I think it all depends on your local depot...

Hi Laura and all you lovely Spoonies, you cheered me up with your post Laura! I did a similar thing, but mine was in the airport. I went for a quick wee before I was going to get in the plane, and my skirt was in my knickers. A lovely lady, taped me on my shoulder to tell me, but goodness knows how many people saw my knickers first!

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, I’ve been feeling a bit down and overwhelmed. My husband went to see a friend of his who lives on his own. He couldn’t get a answer, and his next door neighbour came out to say she hadn’t seen him for a few days Anyway my husband called the police and they entered his house to find he had died.
He was such a lovely man, he had a brother and sister who lives at the other end of the country. It’s just so sad to think of him all alone. My husband had seen him 5 days before and he was fine.

I’m so pleased your relationship with your son and daughter is so much better, hopefully they will realise now what a lovely mum they have.

i love M&S food, we had their Chicken Kiev yesterday ‘yummy’. Have you tried their Pineapple Tarts? I love their iced Madeira cake. Not gloating but I have one in my cupboard 😋

I would love to be in the WA group, but I have know idea, how I can send my phone number safely!

I have been reading all the threads, so sorry I haven’t posted. 😘🌺

Thank you! Such an inclusive group. Christmas pun - Laura's thread has snowballed - sorry Christmas cracker type joke.

@Nottogetapenny
Your poor DH - hopefully his passing was quick, which is a blessing....something v similar ( but worse) happened to my DH this time last year ...I know he still thinks about his friend .

@Imbluedalale your bin story!! I was laughing out loud!
Don't worry about it lovely...I'm sure you made their day😂

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx , how’s your afternoon going?
It is lovely to see this side of my eldest although not in the best circumstances. I hate that he’s hurting but that he’s brought it on himself and I hate that he’s hurt somebody else but he’s only 19 so hopefully he will learn from this.
Oh I love a trip to a garden centre, there’s this amazing one here called Walkers , it’s got 2 huge cafes, a bakery and a butchers it’s massive and the food is delicious. Your food that you had sounds lovely.
I have decided that I’m never going to put my bin out in daylight again . In fact I’ve found a beanie hat and some sunglasses for whenever I next venture out. My mum said at least it means they’ll always empty my bin now 😭😭😭😭😱xx

😱😱😱😱😱😱I’m going to check for holes in my shed and removing anything editable. Thank you for letting me know xx

Oh they will have forgotten it by the new year - if they even saw it. I would bet most of them didn't, and in any case, it's similar to what someone might wear in public on the beach.

Oh @Cuneburnal your dress sounds absolutely amazing. I bet you will look stunning in it.
You can definitely have half of this pig in my fridge for January if you require.
You sound like your going to be an amazing MIL, I love how fondly you speak of your DIL xx

I was glad @AdmittowearingCrocs although they was the worst pair of knickers I owned . I’m talking ones so big I can tuck my boobs into them Aswell. I get hot just thinking about it xx

Don’t be sorry @CookiePookie , I’m glad you got one. Have you tried it yet? I keep looking on Ocado but it always says out of stock. I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion xx

Hi @Nottogetapenny , I’m so so sorry to hear your dreadful news. Sending you a big hug.
How is your husband coping?
I love the M&S chicken kievs too , I haven't tried the pineapple tarts yet but I did have their ton mess yum yums when I went the other day and oh my they was delicious.
Oh I’m so jel that you have an iced Madeira in your cupboard . How have you not eaten it yet? 😂
You can pm me your number and I’ll add you if that’s ok with you?xx

They definitely saw it @VexedofVirginiaWater because when I got in my back garden and shut the gate I looked through the gap and they was laughing 😱😱😱😱xx

My afternoon is going well thanks. I'm having a late lunch break and about to hop in the bath 😄.

I guess it's just a sort of silver lining that your son has come back to you, his mum who he knows will give him good advice and comfort and has the learning experience rather than years down the line when more is at stake. Not that you'd wish the hurt on him, it's heartbreaking when they are sad and I'm sure that's the same at 19 as it is at any other age.

Your massive garden centre sounds amazing, I've never been to one with a butchers in before!

😂at getting a disguise for going outside! Hopefully your bin will get special treatment now 😄.

@Nottogetapenny I'm so sorry to hear about your husbands friend, that's so sad and really hard that he was there when the police found him.

Can someone tell me how to pm on the app? Would love to join the WhatsApp group. Thanks

@Imbluedalale I've advised the council can sort bin collection for those with mobility issues. Or streaking tendencies 😂 the bin men will be looking compensation for trauma 😂
It's been a good day. I gave up at 11am. Put some Christmas tunes on and had a bit of a tidy downstairs. Then I got your lovely surprise in the post. I will post a picture in the WA buts it's a gorgeous decoration with the family names on. Pride of place on the front of the tree.
I had a walk to Tesco to pick up baskets of winter flowers for my mum and aunt so I'm done now.
Thanks for getting the chat going @RaspberryBeretxx I also enjoy a lunchtime bath on my break 😀

Adding to my collection! I have an ace son-in-law too. So shy when he first turned up on our doorstep at 17. Fine husband & dad now. Opposites attract maybe - he's calm, cool, collected. Daughter extrovert. Good combo. My instincts are really good - I see your future as being really happy with your children, mum, dad and sister. A certain person will have regrets big time. He'll never find another you.
