Hi everyone

Glad you got a laugh at my poem just sorry that I didn't include every one .Some of your names are difficult to rhyme with .

Didn't mean to make you cry Ann of Greengables so you asked for it !!!!

Well alright folks I do agree
It really was remiss of me
To leave out Ann the Gables girl
So now her life I will unfurl

She lives in Wales you all should know
Where in the Taff the waters flow
Eglwys Newydd to be precise
She really makes it sound quite nice

She tells us all she's seventy one
Her pals all say she looks quite young
Rugby is her sport of choice
Don't play it Ann that's my advice

For young you may look
And young you may feel
But at seveny one that's just unreal


I promise no more poems !!!

love

Elaine is that you deleated? I saw your post about your nephew now it's gone. Whats happened? You really are going through some hard times. Your aunts funeral is going to be hard for you, no one will say any different. Take some rescue remedy with you. Keep it handy in a pocket with your tissues. While you are at home you will be worked up, and traveling to place the of service, but once it starts your mind will be on it, and listening to the person doing the service. It will be over in half an hour. Then you can have your memories in private and let your self have a bl---- good cry. Who is going with you?

I was doing great until about an hour ago when I started to worry about the house all over again along with my FM and stuff. My head is now full of what ifs and I'm so tired of emotionally propping everyone up. It's getting hard to keep doing it and sometimes I just want to be able to have someone prop me up without having to worry about upsetting them because I tell them how I feel.

Kerry, glad to hear that your daughter's day turned out ok after a rocky start. The students that met her will no doubt have put her at ease and they will have been very understanding of the experience. I take it she's looking to study there and will keep my fingers crossed that they accept her. You must be very proud, getting an interview at cambridge or oxford is a big deal in itself (I dated an oxford boy for a while).

hi everyone haven't been on much I have been struggling with the sad news we got last week but just wanted to say hi to everyone

summer your not alone on this one I have a very demanding family as they expect me to think for them and they don't understand that at time's I can't think for myself . at time's I think have i been such an oger is he scared to put a foot wrong or is he just taking the easy way out. anyway you have to tell the people around you how you feel do it when your carm and not when it all get's to much. my hubby always put it down to that time of the month. had to tell him different. just by that time I couldn't cope with the crap You my have to just keep telling them uptill they get it sending you a hug know that feeling well irene

Hi Irene ~~~ xx how 's you?

deanne my tablets are for my depession have low iron for over a year take ferro grad c as iron supp just found out need lot's of little bit's of iron all day as taking it all in one dose do'st get in best way is to snack on iron rich foods have just start doing it see who we go iam 44years old

Iam well thanks have to go hubby just rang my moblie ( Iam in trouble) LOL

It's not so much that they don't understand because they do. At the same time as they have a lot of exciting things happening with their own move, mum and dad are well aware that at the moment I will be homeless when they move. I know that I'll always have a place, even if it's just sleeping on their sofa (the one they don't own yet) but that won't be good for me physically or emotionally. I just can't keep mentioning it because it upsets them that they think they've put me in this position when it wasn't their doing.

I've always worried more about others than about my own emotional welfare, I know that's not healthy for me but in a way has made my life easier. Dad, even though he's emotional, doesn't know how to be emotionally supportive. So when mum has needed that support it's always really fell to me because the option would be to watch mum have a breakdown or something. I don't know if I'm making much sense, it's difficult to explain these dynamics.

I do voluntary work for the samaritans, doing their admin and I've made good friends with one of the other volunteers, she hit the nail on the head the other day when she said she thought I was very lonely. She's mentioned going over for a chat and cuppa again but I'm worried about over doing that, of course I don't want to become one of those 'clingy' friends. I guess I over analyse...everything LOL.

Elaine and others

I typed my silly poem but got called away and didn't post till a few hours later .
Made it look like I didn't care about other's pain and problems as I had not checked on posts while off line .
Elaine Saturday is not going to be easy but you will get through it .
On the day of my OH funeral I went in to panic
because as soon as the car drove off I heard a click and I knew we were locked in .I then was surprised that a man walked in front of the car which is an old tradition in England ( not here in Scotland ) It seemed to take for ever and I was getting more and more in a panic .I needed to get out .Just then on Hampstead High Street I saw 2 doves sitting on the pavement . I lived in London 8 yrs and only saw doves at the zoo so when I saw those I took it as a sign that I was being looked after .After that I managed to get through .
What I am trying to say in a long winded way is that when we need the help and strength it is there for us . just believe
To all of you
love

anyone know Elaine well enough to pm her? people are rather worried about her as far as I can tell - don't know the story, didn't get to read the posting

summer every strong person has there breaking point. if you have to sleep on mum and dads couch for awhile so be it. look at it from a diffrent view your having a hoilday with mum and dad make it a chance to spend time with them. make it a positive go though old photo's have cooking lesson's NEVER feel a like a burden to your parent's no matter what they love you. my daughter (23y only2 bedroom house)has her own caravan in the yard but sleep's most nights on the couch because she would rather be in here with us. I know it looks black at the moment but something will come up lots of hug's and you can pm me if you need too a new friend irene

Irene, I already live with them, but because my brother bought them a bungalow that is only big enough for them to live in, I have to find a place of my own. Luckily I was already on the council list, but there's only one ground floor flat come up in the last 6 months or more. There's one coming up but I can't get a definite answer as to whether it's mine. I wouldn't mind sleeping on their couch as long as I knew it was only for a week or so. But the thought of indefinitely not having my own space drives me a little nuts. I'm mostly a solitary person in that I prefer to spend long periods of time on my own terms, and while I live with them now I at least have my own room to retreat to. Have joked about getting a caravan and living in that, but it would have to wait until their house that we live in now sold LOL.

well hubby rang to tell me the deliver van just blow up .spat a hose and cooked the engine. thats my three the coolroom motor, the kangaroo and now the van thing's mite start getting better now. if not do'nt book to go to the olympic's because I think i've killed off all the chineamen lol hug's to all

now I see where your coming from love. can relate would suggest looking at the add's for room mate's but the thought of living with someone I didn't know would freak me out. I sure mum and dad won't live you out in the cold. could they add a little room onto the bunglow for you after the house sell or could the concil mybe help with something like a granny flat in the yard for you ? (sorry bad speller)

Brother is meant to be putting them on a conservatory in the summer. We joked about converting the detached garage. Brother has made it all snug as dad is going to use it for his train sets. There's not enough room in the garden for an extension and doubt they would get planning consent. I know it will all work out in the end, just gotta keep the faith.

Have already looked at storage units for my stuff for now. It was big enough to sleep in, if only it had a window. LOL Also, have seen those summer house cabins in Argos. And the new bungalow has a big green opposite...PMSL

I have a blow up mattress if you can get a tent Liz lol
I am sure things will come good for you soon, as you say keep the faith.
Photos will be on the way in a mo btw.

Sorry Irene, didn't mean to ignore you, hadn't realised you were still around, thought Liz and I were the only ones about except for Carol popping in.
