Aww, Toid!

Wanna snog?

((((massive hugs))))

Noooooooo
It's all a bit confusing and upsetting. Before Christmas, my brother announced he was leaving his wife.
Now my mum's dropped another bombshell - she's divorcing my stepdad. They've been married since I was 7 (I'm now 44). They've had some bad times, so I didn't think I'd react so badly to hearing this, but it came out of the blue and I've been on the verge of tears all day since I heard.

I think one problem is it's made me think about my own less-than ideal situation with OH too much. I'm obviously the only coward in my family.

Blimey, Toid.

That's a big one!

Doesn't make you a coward, though. You must be in turmoil, at the moment!

Thanks for the hug - I'm all over the place.

Thanks, Annoca. I could do with a good face-wash from Dante right now

Blimey Deman, no wonder you're fed up hun.  

Just feel a bit gobsmacked. Going out for a break in a min, to clear my head..

Life sucks sometimes.  Hope you feel better soon

Deman. It's that time of year when people take stock and decide what they want in or out of their lives. This has probably hit you hard because as you say, your own situation isn't as you would like it to be. Also, it hits you that family life will never be the same again.

Awwwwww! Toid...have a hug

Deman

Hey Deman!     *just incase you aint had enuff cuggles*  & one for ron!

Thankyou all, lovely peeps
Just been for a walk outside, but can't wait till work finishes at 5.30

(and sezit, you hit the nail on the head perfectly)

So sorry Demantoid you may not think so now but you will get through this bad time in your life, keep your chin up we are all here for you

Deman

Thanks, Marguerita.
If it turns out to be one of my mother's 'whims', I'll be annoyed with her for upsetting us all for nothing. Although this time I don't think it will be, since she's got the lawyers in.

Families, eh?

I suppose I ought to be grateful I've got family to moan about (some folks have no-one) but it's knocked me sideways. Especially being told via flippin email! I mean, really..

Demantoid  there is no nice way to be told as it is upsetting, dont be to hard on your mum perhaps she could not tell you face to face and this was the only way she could initially let you know,everyone is different I am sure she must be upset too

Toid, I`m sorry you`re going through this

I'm sure you're right, Marge. Thanks for talking such sense - as always!

You are very welcome

Deman, hope you're ok and things pick up for you soon.


On the upside think of Wembley final.

Hope you feel yourself soon Toid

Thanks Pengy, Scotty and anyone I've left out
Darlo, I still can't get my head around reaching a cup final - particularly since I didn't get a season ticket this year because of my dodgy work shifts 
Shifts have just changed to more civilised ones, and me and a few other peeps are hoping for some tout tickets. Expensive, but worth it..

I knew I was right to tell you lot

Aww Deman.

Feel a bit like this, katty:



But FMs are helping to cheer me up a bit.

Trust you to lower the tone                               

I was only wishing our Toid well

Aww,Elwood has perked up a lot he was out running around and is tucking into his grub,hopefully we'll have him a while yet.

That's good news
Antibiotics are a big deal for such a little beastie. It's always easy to tell when they're feeling better, when they start troughing the sunflower seeds again..

Ah Jesus Demantoid, just read your post. You have absolutely every right to awful right now. I'm chronically bad at giving advice but for what its worth I you're FAB U LOUS and you actually always manage to make me laugh on this forum. I find your posts and contributions so spot on and actually insightful. Sorry your day is s**t..hopefully your mum will get her act togher and as for your thoughts on things at the moment, well my love take it easy and please God you'll come to the right conclusions for you. Christ, hope that wasn't too heavy but you're a good un...as the legend of BB6 Saskia would say END OF.
