AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could I forget? How could I forget? How could I? How? I don't deserve Mitchell.

No you don't

Hello BESHes. what a weekend. Drunken row with MrBoo and tense famly meal with aforementioned sisters today. You could have cut the atmosphere with a knife, it. was. awful.

Thankfully MrBoo and I made up this morning and he has been brilliant with hugs and back scratching (my favourite) this evening. Seriously, my family as I have always known it is falling apart and it's bloody horrible :(

Boo - you're not the only one with a family that is falling apart. It's awful to say, but some time ago, I stopped pretending with my mother. We now do not speak. I really envy my friends with ordinary jobbing mothers who they can share stuff with [like miscarriages]. Can't trust mine. I have two brothers and we do try [hit and miss results]. It's horrible when you're in the midst of family carnage. It's the one place where everyone knows exactly how to reduce you to rubble.

boo really bad time for cross post- so sorry, that's just crapawful. Glad you and princeboo are all sorted out, but sending you much love and not that discreet fondles. (Back scratches are a bone of contention in our house-I give and give, but never get much back)

Sudden Sunday BESH rush. Work tomorrow. Really looking forward to it.

Love back scratches too...

Princeboo - that's brilliant Molina, why didn't I think of that? :o
Did you have anything nice for your birthday?

Sorry about your Mom Brownlady. My sisters are speaking to me, not as much as to each other, (but that has always been the case), but the one sister seems to be intent on pushing me, my Mom and my step-Dad (her real Dad) as far away as she can, and I have absolutely no idea why. He's 75, so anything could happen to him. He paid for this meal today for everyone and was barely spoken to. They couldn't wait to get away. It was just awful.

Makes a sepcial BESHback scratcher so can do everyone else and myself all at the same time.

Oh Boo :(. So sorry you've had such a shit time. Really sad for you. As for mothers, I fully empathise, Brownie, though things with mine aren't as bad as it sounds with yours :( It does make you sad when you hear of things that other women share with their mums. Mine's just so incapable of warmth and affection - it makes me alarmed thinking about what sort of mum I'll make. But then I guess you can be determined can't you?

Thanks for the BESHluff. I think you will more than make up for your respective Mothers you two when you get the offspring that are waiting in that there universe to jump in when the time is right Rie and Browngirl

Yup. It's been a very serious Thought of mine throughout my adult life. I decided when I was young that I would not have kids unless I was sure I wouldn't be repeating my own upbringing. Horrible but true. I guess the zen I spoke about earlier wasn't really zen. Something a little different... Rie - I agree. Determined. Um.. am actually slightly tipsy right now. Terrified to think what sort of mother I would make - but am so aware of my own behaviour I came to the conclusion that this could be good enough...?

Thanks for the back scratch Boo. And backscratcher too. Hugs to your dad. Hope he's okay. Family can really suck.

ps - two brothers. I have a mean chinese burn too...

Actually browngirl I think that one of the reasons for only starting to think about kids at age 34 was because I was so unsure about what sort of parent I would make. It has kept me awake on many a long night. I think what we have to remember is that we are not an inevitable product of our upbringing. I just want to be a warm, affectionate parent who tells her kid they're great!

PS am a bit tipsy too. Like no one had guessed.

Are any BESHlets around this fine morning? I am off work sick - last night a cold, sore throat and headache descended on me in epic proportions, I slept for about 2 hours. I think being tense all day yesterday really didn't help, and I am now in bed waiting for the decongestant to kick in so I can get some kip. LittlelordBoo (:o) is at nursery thankfully, so I am going to hit this thing with everything that moves so I can go back to work tomorrow.

Disclaimer: Am hormonal in extremis

boo I have that too, the waring family, the crappy weekend arguing with the Mr and today a blinding head ache and sore throat. Stupidly hauled myself into work this morning but am cheering myself up with plans for the rest of the week off and in bed.

Oh Bitey -

Come and snuggle in with me pet, walk out of work.

My brain wouldn't switch off last night re. The Family but I've called my Mom and had another debrief and I think all of the nastiness is out of my head now. Sometimes you just have to wish people well and let them go don't you?

What is has done is made me look around and appreciate what I have instead, which can only ever be a good thing.

Does your sis have children Bitey?

Where's my lovely Barbiedoll? How are you? Staying sane? Am thinking of you xxx

Last seen off out for a massage I think Rie

Where are you Sindymuff?

Poor Boo. Do you want some Merlot? Just the thing for colds, I think.

I will fit as many BESHes as I can in my boudoir Rie, but yes, I did mean you :o

Merlot time indeed, the sun is past the yard arm (possibly. I don't know what a yard arm is).

Wait, you lot are all plaguey. Do I need a facemask?
