Hi Elaine, sorry you're having a bad day, quite understandable - but don't delete posts, not necessary. Everyone is welcome on here as you know and I do hope you will come back when you feel able.

Well I've had a nice Mothering Sunday, son and daughter-in-law took me out, along with DiL's Mum and we had a lovely meal, chocs and flowers - so thoughtful - we are so lucky to have such caring family.

To those of you who didn't receive cards or flowers for whatever reason, and I suppose there wil be some, just remember that life is far too short - we all make mistakes and say and do things that perhaps we should not have done and some of us have had bad things happen to us. but blood is blood when all is said and done and I feel we should find it in our hearts to mend things before it is too late. No good saying I should have done this and I should have done that when there's nothing you can do. Before my lovely Mum died I remember her telling me "Don't ever feel guilty when I've gone - you have done everything for me you could have done" You still do feel guilty though and think of things you could have done, so all I'd like to say on this Mothering Sunday is "Don't be a woulda, coulda, shoulda person, do something positive" Hope I don't sound as if I'm pontificating, don't mean to, just don't like to think of people hurting through stubbornness or sheer bloody-mindedness when there is so much grief in the world and a simple little word like "sorry" can make the world of difference. Sermon over!!!!

Love to all, Ann XX

Mary xxx goodness who have I missed !!! Betty !! x

Hi Carole, yes here I am, very tired but seem to get a second wind from somewhere as always.
I was very lucky and had a nice day with my son, 60 pink and purple tulips and a lovely card with nice words, he is well trained lol, and he cooked me a roast chicken dinner at his flat so I am happy. I was thinking about all who might not be having the same kind of day as me, for whatever reason. I agree with your post Ann of GG, but altho it is best to forgive and forget, hurts and slights do cause pain and usually to those who have done their best for their families, so I feel cross with those who didn't make an effort to make their Mums feel special today.
Here are some ((((hugs)))) for you all,
love

Elaine, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear Aunt, I hope happy memories will help comfort you and the knowledge that she is free from pain and suffering too.

Here briefly, had a busy day, an added bonus irritation was that Colleen's licence plate was stolen off her minivan last night.
My daughter took us out for lunch, and at the end, when the bill came, I nearly pmsl when our 7 year old dramatist,Em, said in her stage voice "does anyone have a VISA card". Everyone around us started to laugh, how healing a good laugh can be. Apparently the TV advert had informed her that you could pay for anything with your VISA card.
Tonight in the middle of our supper meal she asked what a "womb" was!!
Another meltdown by her grandmother, while her mother was shooting darts at me!! Couldn't help it, I'm aging, don't have the control I once had,LOL. I had been feeling tired and down all morning (tired of snow and frigid temps) but the 2 good belly laughs did me good.
Hope everyone has a good night,
{{{{{Hugs}}}}}

Hi Mary, glad you had a good day even if a few blips but the giggles were good for you.
My day was lovely - I feel blessed, but shattered lol.
Take care and have a great time at the special dinner, tell Colleen well done!
love
Lizxxx

Betty, hi hon, saw you following or preceding me on the birthday threads lol
You were very welcome to any company and comfort I could give, take care, catch you another time,
Lizxx

Morning Liz, how are you today. Glad you had a nice day yesterday, I have missed peeps on here the last few days, last time I had computer on was Friday morning. All I wanted to do was get back to our thread for the comfort of friends, daren't put my feet down to come downstairs though. I has got me like a good book does, what is happening to who, has so-and so done this that or the other, surprised last night when no-one had posted for a while..
My step daughter came up for Mothers day and we had a lovely long chat, she went home with a lot of my cook books I am having to get rid of, they will get a good home. When she set up a home of her own, I bought her a couple of basic ones and a lot of kitchen stuff she needed. I had been showing her the simple recipes since she was 13 so she can do some good meals, but the smile on her face when she walked off with my 250 curries recipe book was a sight to behold.
Off for my first cuppa of the day now, it's half an hour after my bone tablet so I am allowed it, surprising how the first one sets you up for the day.
Elaine, I was so sorry to hear about your aunt, she will be at peace now.
If your reading Gail, a big wave and hello to you, hope you are ok.
Hi Betty,and Mary and anybody I've missed.

Caz xx


Caz xx

Hi Caz, I am pleased you had a visitor to cheer you and relieve you of the books too, nice that they are going to a good home!
I am off to bed now, should have gone ages ago but like to catch up with everything - I am so nosey lol
Hope you have a good day, take it easy and will catch up with you later today or tomorrow I expect.
love
Lizxx

Thanks Liz, it will be a quiet day with my feet up but I am staying up all day. Step daughter will be up again next week for my birthday so we will have another long natter, haven't seen sight nor sound of my lot, but I feel relieved for the timie being.

Caz xx

Night hon, hallo to everyone when they get on here this morning.
Am off to bed now, night lol
Lizx

Caz I thought Mothers day would have been a good time for your lot to send a card and flowers just to say sorry for the upset, and lets start again! But so nice you did have a visit from your step daughter. Take it easy ! xx
Liz what a lovely day you had! xx
My daughter and I escaped the football on TV Saturday and went shopping, had a stop in Asda coffee shop! She bought me some make up from Debenhams for Mothers day. Son ws working so I didn't see him until about six at night but he came in with a fondue set! No wrapping so he had just took it out of it's Sainsburys carrier bag! Oh had reminded him Saturday about Mothers day! We all went to my parents. Took a card and a basket of spring flowers.

I'm back to work after my weeks holiday today. I feel so tense, and sick. Wish I could go back to bed. I have been feeling very stressed the last few days. Feel like my blood is on the point of boiling. Does anyone know what I mean?
Love to you all xx

Morning everyone

I don't want to be on GR today, can feel this is a bad place for me today.

Hope you all have a good day, be back another day.

Take care
Gill

Gill don't be on your own love, come on our thread, someone will be on all day, usually are. We don't like to see peeps upset so please come on here if nowhere else.

Carole, that's what I thought, but at the same time I got very upset and teary at the thought of them coming. I don't think I could face them now, they have hurt me so deeply it will take a long time.
My sister is also angry that they chose to do it when even I thought I had only three months left. What's hurt me more is that my youngest son, who seemed ok with me on phone didn't send a card either. He either lied to me or the others have got to him.

Caz xx

Well done Dave, an hour is an hour. if you can manage that I am sure you could manage two. But that is great

Gill, have a day taking it easy but come on this thread if you want comfort. Hopefully there will be more people around today, yesterday was very lonely on here.

at least you went Dave and as you say, he's probably long forgotten it - so just keep going!! You dun good!!!!

freezing here in Cardiff Dave - hope you got better weather than us!

Hi everyone

Hope you are all well today .Sorry that I have not been on for a few days and worried some of you and thanks for the pm's
Had a bad day saturday and the weather was awful so didn't go out .Yesterday no card or phone call for mother's day but then I wasn't really surprised just disappointed .My neighbours son's arrived with flowers ,chocs and cards and then took her out for a meal .I decided to keep myself busy so I power washed my walls for 6 hrs . Can hardly move today as my back has gone !!!
Did get a laugh yesterday when my sister phoned to say they had arrived at their holiday destination ( which is same city that son is in ) and had paid him a surprise visit .5pm and they got him out of his bed !!! He promised me that he had planned to phone me later but had forgotten it was MD .
Can I have a moan now ?
My pc is not working at all ( I am on son's old one at the mo ) My heating is either on or off as the clock has been broken since last easter and I am still waiting for the engineer .My dyson wont pick up dirt unless I crawl about on my hands and knees with the attachments my micro wave's clock doesn't work so I have no idea how long things are going to cook for .I have lost my camera , my favourite lipstick and my mum's wedding ring ( which I can't tell my sister as she would be so upset. I only mention it now as she is on hols and not likely to look into GR )
That's better got that off my chest so apart from the above and the phobias I am fine .
love to all
Kathy xx
