Big Boys Need Love Too!

[Martyn]

Afternoon ladies!

Well, its that time already! Its weirdly dragged but flown by... strange i know!

Yes, i am moving back to Preston tomorrow morning/afternoon and i can't wait!!! I went to the post office this morning and sent my (hopefully) faulty computer part back, i have packed the majority of my clothes, just gotta wash a load or two today and throw that in, all my shoes and books and trinkets are packed up, now i just gotta throw them, and my computer in the car tomorrow and i am gone.

Gonna have to make 2 trips tho, ugh not fun, my mum and dad gave me their old 30something inch TV for my new place when they got the 52 flatpanel, that with my extra draws i got and all my bags and computer just wont be good for 1 run! Which reminds me, i gotta get the TV stand out the shed!

It only took me about an hour to pack, so now i am thinking i have missed stuff but can't see anything i have missed!!

Wohoo anyway, 1 more sleep to go!

Wow! Exciting or what Tyn. Best of luck for the move - and the computer part x

Hi Taz - Mopping up someone again - How like you - your friend is very lucky to have a friend like you x

I've just heard a song on the ads on tv - something about putting your red shoes on - which reminds me where on earth has that girl got to? I thought Elle was back with us x

Martyn,

I hate that feeling of having forgotten something right after I have packed. I try to make a list so that when the day comes I can just check things off as I pack them, otherwise I am bound to forget something. I'd leave my head behind if it wasn't screwed on nice and tight

 

[Gemstone]

I usually go away at half term and I always forget something and it's usually something important duh!

 

[Taz]

Hi Taz - Mopping up someone again - How like you - your friend is very lucky to have a friend like you x

Yeah I seem to always be mopping up after this one!

 

[Gemstone]

Some people are like that but they don't always have good friends who stick by them and see they are ok. I imagine it can get tedious at times. x

 

[Taz]

Very. I don't mind supporting anyone but she is hyper sensitive and makes a drama out of anything

 

[Gemstone]

So you could easily offend her without even trying I guess?

 

[Taz]

Yep, got it in one!

:character00238: Good morning everyone :character00238:

Mr Sun is smiling at me this morning and seems to have got over yesterday's bout of shyness. The scales looked promising this morning so maybe I can evict a couple of pounds this week. I am not planning an illicit liason with Mr Guinness any time soon so maybe I will have a good week and move those tickers into the 20s I'm getting a little fed up of seeing 19 blinking at me so here goes! Friday's weigh in will tell all

Well, I hope everyone has a good Saturday. See you all later :character00238:

 

[Taz]

You will be moving them soon Gem, don't worry.

 

[Gemstone]

You too Taz - it's good in the zone isn't it?

 

[Taz]

Yeah but I'm not too sure what zone I'm in at the moment

 

[Gemstone]

Hopefully the good one - shedding unwanted pounds and feeling good about yourself x

 

[Taz]

Half of my head is in that one but the other is elsewhere at the moment

 

[Gemstone]

Understandable under the circumstances Taz x

I heard the dawn chorus this morning. I was called to the nursing home at 2am as my mother had taken a downward turn. To be honest my emotions are ripped apart. It's so sad losing a parent but they had only just about got on top of the pain and she was in such a terrible state.

I have just come back now, leaving her poor old body in the bed and hoping her spirit is flying free. She looked peaceful at the last which is a relief as her breathing was terrible yesterday and it was awful to sit there and listen to it.

I guess she never really got over the loss of my dad and altzhimers kicked in soon after. She has been confused and poorly for a few years. Then a couple of weeks ago she was diagnosed with cancer and it progressed very quickly. The staff at the nursing home have been wonderful and made her last days as comfortable as possible.

Sorry to put such a sad post out this lovely sunny morning but it was something I needed to say.

Have a lovely day everyone. Live every minute of it and do something wonderful x :character00238:

 

[Taz]

Gem, sad or happy we are all here to support each other through lifes trials. I too lost my nan early this morning so I know how you are feeling. ((((((Hugs))))))

 

[Gemstone]

Hope you are ok Taz - Mum looked peaceful and I felt relieved and sad at the same time, not wanting to lose mum but wanting her to be at peace. It's been a hard time - as I guess you know only too well Taz. Think of the lovely times you spent with her. I think of the last holiday we all spent together in Cornwall. Mum and Dad were both frail but they excelled themselves and did loads and always said it was the best holiday they had ever had. That fills me with pride cos we made it happen for them. There are lots of funny memories too - they will all come flooding back and it is OK to laugh and celebrate what they were. I feel as if I have mourned and shed all the tears while she was still alive and right now feel numb. It's been difficult years. More hugs to you Taz
