Trinityrhinos Unspeakably Shit Stuff part two

[TrinityRhino]

Hi everyone
Thank you for so much help and such kind words x

[Salbertina]

Hi Trinity- glad to hear the sun's shining on you. Take care x

[Mouseface]

Productive day then? :)

Good for you lovely, now, when can I expect you here to sort my house out? Why is it that you just seem to tidy by moving one lot of 'stuff/junk' from one room making it all lovely and tidy, to another, and then repeat?

I know I'm not alone in this!

So Trin you wonderful woman you, what have you planned for tomorrow? Are you expecting visitors?

Thinking of you all so much, take good care of yourself xxx

[TrinityRhino]

going to bed now
getting up at 6 to go and do a car boot
hopefully make some money and declutter
feeling all your hugs
thankyou

[Almostfifty]

Sleep tight.

[TrinityRhino]

morning all panicking like buggery
where has my ability to do new stuff gone

[GlaikitFizzog]

Morning Trin! All new things start with the same first steps as everything else. Once you do two, try four, then another four and before you know it you are well on your way so not worth turning back.

Those first steps are the hardest, but remember we are all there with you in spirit cheering you on. If you can feel our hugs, hear our cheers and us supporting you like a mother supports her toddler when he takes those first wobbly steps. It's not long before he doesn't need her to physically support him, but she is always there, to help negotiate the tricky stuff, to pick up, dust off and kiss grazed knees.

It's a lovely day here. I think it should be with you too. Perfect weather for a car boot. It always rains when I do one, so you have that on your side today.

Remember, one foot in front of the other ((hugs))

[Puddlelane]

Hope the Car Boot goes well Trin, be thinking of ya

[BewitchedBotheredandBewildered]

Morning, I posted last night and lost it 'cos the site went unavailable.
Your day in the garden sounds therapeutic and productive.

You're probably at the Boot Fair now, hope you sell lots.

I was reading on another thread about ways people deal with panic/anxiety.
One idea was concentrate on breathing in for a count of 7, and then out for a count of 10.
Another one was choose one of you senses and verbalise out loud what it is experiencing.
So you might say I can hear the birds singing, I can hear music on the radio and the girls talking upstairs. And really concentrate on listening.
Or I can feel the cushion under my fingers, my hair brushing my face, my jumper at the back of my neck. And concentrate of how it feels.
I don't know if any that might help, but I hope you feel better.

[FromGirders]

Morning Trin. I'm trying to mn less these days, but I'm still thinking of you and will check in from time to time. Hope the car boot goes well - every time I hear from you, I'm overwhelmed again by how strong and stoic you're being.
We're having a car boot sale up here this weekend too - must be the day for them!
Many hugs to you and the girls.

[TrinityRhino]

hey everyone
just got back
knackered but happy
we made £62 pound after taking away the entry fee and the float.
not at all bad
thats the electrician cost covered and 15 pound to put some petrol in the car

[Thumbwitch]

Hurrah! you did better than I ever did at car boot sales, well done! I was lucky to cover costs (fuel and entry). I gave up pretty soon

[OliviaMMumsnet]

WEll done Trin

[InkleWinkle]

£62 is fab. You must be a good saleswoman!

[Mouseface]

Afternoon Trin - well done on the £62.00! That's fantastic and sorts three things out. The spark, the fuel and some space. Great going lovely xx

[BewitchedBotheredandBewildered]

That's amazing , £62 !!!
We've never even covered the cost of the pitch.
Bloody, blinking well done! So, so pleased for you.
And really well done for persevering and getting there in the first place.
Have a lovely sunset and give yourself a huge pat on the back.

[ExitPursuedByABear]

So impressed. I have never had the willpower to do scar boot sale. Good on you.

[OpheliaBumps]

Hi Trin sorry I'm so late to this thread, been away for a couple of weeks with no internet.

I'm so sorry to hear your news, it's truly dreadful how much you've had to endure, my heart goes out to you and the girls. You are doing so well, stay strong lovely lady x

[WandaDoff]

Hi Trin, how are you & the girls today? Are they at school today? Glasgow schools are off but its pissing down so we've just had a PJ day.

£62 is pretty impressive for a mornings work, might have to do a few car boots myself, we've certainly got enough unnecessary crap lying around cluttering the place up

[MrsJacksonBrodie]

Hi, Trinity, I have been unable to post for a week or so (I've had a MNHQ apology and we're just back the Wettest Day Ever at Loch Lomond, so am just checking back in.

You are doing so amazingly well. For absolutely bloody years I've been meaning to go to a car boot sale to get rid of some of our accumulated rubbish and am never organised/focussed enough to actually DO it. And there you are, done it and made a great profit

Thinking of you lots. Love and strength, as ever x.

[TrinityRhino]

thanks all
yep they were at school today but a horrid day. soaking wet.
feel angry and unmotivated today
had indigestion most ofvthevday kicked off by taking my ads without food.
silly of me but at least I'm not forgetting to take them.

[mrsmindcontrol]

Thinking of you Trinity. Am in awe of how together you are at such an awful time. Your lovely girls are so very lucky to have such a strong mummy. Don't worry about feeling 'unmotivated', although I've never been anywhere close to where you are right now, I'm pretty sure sometimes you just need to exist for a day or 2 rather than worrying about getting shit done.
Big hugs xxxxx

[PacificDogwood]

That was me btw, MrsJB - a NC from before my 'ban' that I had forgotten about .
Yes, the day was horrid enough to depress those with the most gilded of lives....
We now have a sunset

[Mouseface]

Hello lovely Trin - it's been shitty weather here too. It's BH Monday so typical, traditional British weather, cold, wet, blowy and as grey as you like! Brrr.

Big Huggles? to you, the girls and Cliff's family, and whoever else may be there with you, holding your fragile hands.

I imagine that life is getting even harder as the funeral approaches, although I also have a feeling that there is more peace around you this time, more serenity, more control of what is happening....... I'm sorry if I'm wrong and I hope you know where I'm coming from by saying this, but I get the sense that whilst you will never accept just how cruel a blow life has dealt you all yet again.

I know that it's not that you're immune to what is happening around you darling, it's that you are more 'aware' of procedures, of how certain things will pan out.

It doesn't take any of the gravity away from your horrific loss. Your loss.

Remember that one of us will be usually be around (The most wonderful Thumby - given her geography is usually around when others aren't, bless her lovely self) so PLEASE, even if it takes one of us a short time to pick up a post, do come and let it out, whatever that particular 'it' may be over the coming hours and days sweetheart and I'm sure someone will come to your aid.

I'll drop you a text too, just in case you're still on your phone? Is your Mac up and running yet?

Lots of love to you all,

Night lovely, enjoy your snuggles in that giant bed.

Mouse xx
