[mummylin2495]

I can't believe we are now on another thread, where has all the time gone ?

candykane I could tell about the " Janet and Roy " letters that one of my brothers and his wife have received. Now that is funny ! They have had three now,one back a few weeks and two nearer to Xmas, the last one contains pictures of a square of carpet, A family member who is apparently in prison, and a pet spider who may or may not of been squashed ! It's hilarious. I of course have no idea who asked for this to be done to my lovely brother . It's hilarious and how I didn't crack on boxing night I will never know. Hahaha my letter writer has been fab and "Janet & Roy " may be turning up at my brothers house in the new year to stay ( chokes with laughter )

db partner is very ill can't seem make sense of reality and not, feel so sad as she was one of my best friends that's how they met. I introduced them and now hes going through hell .

Thats so sad sm

Does she have a mental illness SM ? My sister is bi polar but quite stable at the moment. She was very ill about 7 yrs ago , it was awful, but together we got through it. She has a slight depression at the moment but is taking medication.she went to a psych the minute she started to feel it again as she now has little twins to look after.

she has been hospitalised three times but this Time is convinced there is nothing wrong refusing to get help. I feel so sad for her but angry at what this is doing to my brother too. difficult situation..how are you all

I have only just had dinner ! Dh , my brother and a friend travelled for four hours on the coach today to watch our town play footi so I cooked a meal for them all when they got back !
Has your brothers partner done this before , could it be her illness that is making her ruin her relationship with your brother.
Maybe when she is more stable they will get back together. Things have a way of working out.

Went to my dads today and my god it was hard i done her tree presents though she would have been proud.

whyme - my word im so sorry to hear all you have gone through you poor thing, feel for you so much. We all know what its like with the loss, i know how it feels for sudden loss its such a shock, but everything else you have gone through my god. Your husband i believe what goes around and it will trust me.

sm - Hope you going along OK and good to hear from you Galaxy although i know such a tough time. Although a great Christmas but definitely missed my special lady!

SSd thanks! Hope your well

speak soon, my computer keeps playing up and every time i go to post nothing goes then i lose it so i might not be around for a while while it gets sorted.
you will all be in my thoughts and wishing you all strength. Thank you for all those that have supported me through a very hard 3 years on and off. xx

sorry your having computer problems t875, remember when that happened to me was a complete nightmare

mummylin, was it 1-1 today? football is on in our house 24/7, or so it seems!! (its in now...)

havent seen badvoc for a while, hope shes ok, and biscuits too..

No it was 2.0 to us. Dh now home and watching more footi on his comp !!

We are top of the league at the moment, but still a long way to go.

thats good, did they enjoy your roast

Yes they did and was nice for dh and my brothers friend who has for himself . All were full although dh " managed to eat mince pies and cream and brother fruit. Jelly and ice cream. Friends or I could not eat another thing . Think I will be falling asleep in my armchair tonight. Worn myself out today !

Should read friend has to usually cook for himself

are you ok t? I know its hard being at your dads without your mum there, it never seems right, does it ..how is your dad doing now xx

Are you ok T ? Did you have a good Xmas despite everything else ?

Yeah im ok girls not too bad, struggling tonight feeling sad and bitter and annoyed, didn't help that we watched home alone 2 and the bird lady not the mess of her but her face mannerisms reminded me of my mum bot did i cry

My dad was OK but he struggled, he wants to do boxing day next year with my bro and his wife and us which i just don't want to do as it was hard enough today.
computer annoying me too!! where's the tub of celebrations!!!
xx

I'm an expert in sad and bitter! seems to be my default mode most days, though I know I need to lose the bitterness, but just cant

think I'll have a choc too, t!!

am off to bed , night night girls, am working tomorrow and NYE, volunteered for that actually, everyone at work thinks I'm a sad loser but I need to be busy, sitting here with them all watching football on the telly feels too lonely with my thoughts of mum and dad and my old life

xx

yeah im working tomorrow i think thats p'd me off too! My stupid fault as i should have said no but didnt put any al in time!

passing you a choc ssd and mummylin ((( GROUP HUG EVERYONE)))

xx

sorry to see you both have to work, dp in work tonight and tomorrow night so it'll be the first time I've been on my own all over christmas have thought about mum so much but feel guilty that she hasn't been part of it, ds got a bike for Christmas off my dad and grandparents he has never had one before and is desperate to get on it but the weather has been slippy every day! what are you all up too.

its slippery here today too, not great for biking! I can remember those days with the kids getting new bikes, its great for them, but you're terrified incase they fall off!

I dont mind working over xmas and new year, to be honest we dont really drink and have never had babysitters so we tend to just sit in, so I may as well work! I always think Xmas and esp New Year is a real family time and it always makes me feel empty, I'm better off working and keeping busy...

what are you all up to on NYE? x

Hello all
Popping in to wish you all a very peaceful 2015 x

hi badvoc, nice to see you, hope you are ok x

Hi all,

I slipped on the ice yesterday, have a lovely bruise on my knee as a reminder! But it's only small, could have been a lot worse.

Grateful I am on annual leave as was able to have a duvet day on the sofa. DH also poorly so thank goodness DD had all her new toys to enjoy playing with. She seemed really happy, bless her.

Yesterday was the first family party we've had since my dad died, with us all together, all aunts, uncles and cousins, a full turn out...but without my dad. I feel gutted he's missing out. We had a lovely time, did a quiz, Secret Santa, watched all the little ones play. Loads of lovely food and drink. It was comforting to be with my cousins who adored my dad.

I felt so sorry for my grandad, he usually sits with my dad at family parties and he looked lost and so sad yesterday. He's lived through losing his mother in an accident when he was in his twenties, the loss of two babies, his wife (my wonderful grandma) and now his dear son. He has aged a lot in the last three months.

We are actually going out in NYE. Great Gatsby party. Will be walking home so wish us luck.

you sound like you have a lovely family candy, this must be a great support at this time, am glad for you, it'll make all the difference x
