Here we are , our new home

Right, have emailed college counselling people - yay! I'm hoping I can finally start to process and work through lots of things, including my grief.

Had a lovely day yesterday, volunteering, then seeing my friend and her little DS. He's at the stage where you can have a proper conversation now :) He's also potty training and in a toddler bed - where did my friend's tiny baby go?!

Hi lolly

Good luck for the counciling let us know how it went.

Lin - love the classic sweets and choc bars! So much cheaper back then! I've got some foxes fruits at the moment!!

So annoyed at hubby and his leaving all to me unless I ask him!! Really irritating me.
It seems everything I'm asking is falling in deaf ears! Why can't he do things off his own back!! Grrrrrr

my glasses are beyond repair, got a total sad face on today could really do without that, people in worse positions though so trying not to be a miserable bitch how are you all

I'm OK, thank you :) I had an email back from the college - I have my first counselling session on Monday. It's a bit quicker than I thought but that's good, means I won't have second thoughts.

Hope your session will go well lollipop and that you get some comfort from it.
Hope you can still see SM ! It's such a nuisance when you break your specs. I have a habit of treading on them !
Thinking of everyone and hope the weekend ahead will be a good one for all of you

my eyes are so sore without them I can't bloody wait to order new ones but it will have to be when I have slightly more funds. they are patched up for now.

glad your counselling sessions are sorted out hope it all goes well

There is an Internet place that dies glasses at a treasonable price, think it may be called glasses direct or something similar

Should say does glasses not dies glasses !

just found a paid of my old ones so going to ask if they can put the lenses of my current broken ones in these ones as they are roughly the same shape. hopefully save me some money as I could do without this at the minute. how are you all?

Hello all.
Well, I have nearly made it to the end of half term!...only 1 more day to go!
Things here are horrid - ds2 still not right, my aunt now very frail and in the hospice, have had to try and see mum every day as sis on hols, dh was in the states with work (back yesterday, thank god)...
I went to se my aunt yesterday with mum. Got lost. Took an hour and 10 mins for a 30 min journey!
Ds2 very anxious about going back to school. Don't really know what to do.
I have a hospital appt on Tuesday - barium meal - yuk!
All in all, I am feeling very very fed up.
How i would love a boring, event free few weeks :(
Love to all x

Yes a few weeks without problems would do you the world of good Badvoc
You are certainly due some happier times

Hello - long time lurker on MN. My mum died at 6am this morning. She was 81 and had been ill for some time but the last few weeks were truly awful until we got her into a hospice last Tuesday. I'm a bit lost for words at the moment but just writing this down is making it seem a bit more real. I hadn't realised how hard this would hit me. Won't write any more now as I am likely to ramble. Love to everyone who has been and is going through this. xx

Hello catcoriandersorry to hear about your mum. I know you will be in a state of disbelief at the moment, but we are here when you want to chat. Take it easy and look after yourself. It's a truly horrible time

sorry to hear about your mum cat, it is such a difficult time and we are here to chat to about anything you might want too.take care

I'm sorry for your loss cat.
The sense of disbelief is very normal ime.
Hope everyone is ok today...just been to see mum. Last night my brother text her to ask her out for lunch today.
Hadn't heard from him so phoned him just before noon and they have made other plans.
She laughed it off but I can tell she is upset :( have invited her here for tea.
My sis is back today so hopefully she will see mum at some point this week!

So sorry Cat. The shock even though you expect it hits hard. Remember the good things and take each day at a time.

Thank you for your kind replies. It has been very emotional trying to support my dad today - it is their 62nd wedding anniversary. I just feel so sad that she had such a very difficult time and that we couldn't keep her safe. That's all you want to do with your parents isn't it, keep them safe?

Hi cat how sad for your dad to lose his life partner on their wedding anniversary, he will be feeling very lost I'm sure, but I'm sure he will find comfort in having a caring daughter like you to help him through. I would think in all those years he will have many happy memories to reflect on in the future, but at the moment he won't be thinking like that. Take care of your dad, but don't neglect yourself in trying to be brave for your dad. You still have to do your own grieving.

Hi everyone.
Bit of an odd question coming up but I am sure one of you will know the answer! :)
I have been setting out my wishes in the event of my death (I know...cheery eh?) and I think I would like my ashes scattered on my parents plot.
Is this allowed? It's only a half plot.
Thanks!
