Evening everyone.  I hope you are all okay.

Yogi, my husband has been "on the water" for the last four years, so I suppose you could say he has some experience.  He loves his boat and has planned for a long while to get one a little bigger than the one he had previously.  I'm sure this new boat will deflect a little from what he has had to do today; sad though that sounds.

Will catch up again tomorrow.   XXX

Morning everyone.  I found the thread on page 2 and, sadly, also found that my entry last night was the last one.

I hope everyone is okay this morning.  Hope to catch up later. 

Morning JojoMorning Fredsters
Darlo.. I don't do Christmas either!Haven't for 16 yrs so we can both get grumpy together!........our faces....

Bit late today, but anyway hope its a great Saturday for you all

Wish you a lovely weekend too Squiggs! all Fredsters too!

Afternoon Squiggle and Figtree, and all my lovely Freddie friends.  Just spent a pleasant few hours at the marina looking at my husband's new boat, and then out for lunch.  Quite a nice way to spend a Saturday, even though I say it myself.

Hope Mr Figtree is continuing to improve.  Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Hi there peeps.... have you all been spending your hard-earned cash today?... apparently this is the weekend when people hit the shops! My moths are still encased in my purse... they're not getting my money ,no siree!
Hi Jojo,glad you enjoyed your day!BTW it's Mr yoyo that's been UNticketty but I hope he is finding his sea legs now! so for the Yoyos!

Struggling today, but tomorrow is another day I suppose, see how it goes.

Squiggle, I know it must be really difficult for you. I know what it is like to lose someone you love (in my case, it was my brother) and I wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I hope it helps to know there are people here who care about you.

, we can have a random party to forget about it all.



Evening if anyone is around.

Thanks Yogi, I have lost people I love before, my brother when he was only 24, my Dad, and I literally didn't eat a thing for a week, but on bad days this is truly truly awful, agony is the only word I can think of that fits, it is literally like being torn in two.  The price we pay for love!!

Aww Squiggs i really feel for you.... Keep in there kid!One step at a time!
Morning Fredsters .... water  wings required to day!Or a  big boat!

 Brilliant idea DB!

Bumpetybump!

Squiggle, would you consider something like Bereavement Counselling? I know it is not for everyone, but some people find it easier to open up to someone who isn't personally involved. If things are really becoming unbearable, The Samaratins are incredibly helpful, too.
Whatever you do, remember there are FMs on here who will listen to you if you want to talk.

Yogi, thanks for your advice.  Bereavement counselling is something I have thought about.  A lot of days I feel I can cope but this weekend has been difficult I think due to a lot of issues, don't want to moan but I have neuralgia, a really painful knee, a broken tooth and now stomach pains (there is a bug going around for the last-mentioned).  So I suppose its no wonder that I have felt my loss pretty keenly.  Thanks for your concern, I am taking each day as it comes.

Squiggle, you are not moaning sweetheart, you are just going through an horrendous time. When you have physical pains as well as heartbreak, there is no wonder you are feeling so awful.

I need to go put the finishing touches to dinner, but I will be back later. (not sure if that's a threat or a promise)
Leaving hugs for all of the Fredsters and a special one for Squiggle

Hello everyone.  Sorry I haven't been into the thread today.  I've had quite a busy day with my husband and number one son.

Squiggle you are, as always, in my thoughts and prayers.  I REALLY  feel for you and wish there was something I could do to ease your pain, but unfortunately I fear this is a period you have to go through to come out the other side.  I hope you understand what I mean.

Yogi, I hope Mr Yogi is feeling better today (sorry I got it all muddled up yesterday with Mr Figtree - it must be my age).

Will try and catch up later tonight, if not i'LL SPEAK AGAIN TOMORROW.

Hi Fredsters!

Hi FigtreeHow are you today?
Hi JoyronMr Yogi is doing much better, we even saw his Victor Meldrew side for a couple of moments, so he must be on the mend.  Is your son still doing well after his op?

have borrowed sisters laptop so i can say hello to you all.
special hugs for squiggs  hope you feel better in your self soon, and take it a day at a time keep smiling squiggs  sorry ive not been here for you.hello to my Figs  hope yogi joyron darlo mary and everyone else is ok and still no sign of twee wonder whats happened.

Good morning Yogi, Justafriend, Figtree and Squiggle.  

Yogi, I'm glad to hear that Victor is gradually beginning to appear.  Hopefully you husband will be fully fit before Christmas.  My son is doing really well.  He's lost over 5 stone now.  I've told him to go and get a couple of new tops to wear over Christmas to show off his new figure.  He doesn't want to buy too much as he still has a long way to go, but you can see a real difference in him now.  He has an appointment with his consultant this coming Friday to check up on his progress.

Justafriend, sorry to hear about your computer problems.  Perhaps Santa will bring you a new one!!  I too miss Twee surgeon.  Hopefully she will be back soon.

Figtree, I hope all is well with you and your's.

Squiggle, I hope you are feeling a little better today.  I know things must be really hard for you at the moment.

To you, and all my lovely Freddie friends I send my love.  Will catch up again later.  

Sorry its a bit fuzzy but it comes out very small and when you stretch it it goes fuzzy.  A bit brighter today thanks

Hi there figgers, great to hear from Han again, and wow way to go for your son Joyron, how is he feeling in himself?

hello still got sisters laptop (i like this) so giving thread a little bump have a good day everyone

Hello again.  Squiggle my son is feeling really great in himself.  His whole personality seems to have changed.  He is SO much more positive about things.  I think he's getting some self esteem back after all the knocks he's had this year (messy divorce)!

Figtree thank you for the hugs and the pressie.  I'll pass them onto Paul when next comes round.

Hope to catch up again later. 

Hello lovely Fredsters
Squiggle, I am so glad you are feeling a little bit better today.
Joyron, thanks again for your good wishes for hubby. Your son had done so well losing all that weight and I hope that his self-esteem has been given a boost. Tell him to keep up the good work.
Justa, hang on to your sister's lappy, we need you here.
Figtree, I keep missing you here, sending you a big
for Darlo, Mary and our much-missed Twee.

Squiggs so glad today is a little better for you! I have no doubt it is a bit of a roller coaster for you at the moment but your pathway will become smoother with just the occasional pebble to cast aside!The Fredsters are here for you in the happy moments and the sad.Take care of yourself petalpops lots of

Evening everyone.  Just popped in to say goodnight.

Justafriend, yes I am very proud of Paul.  When I think back to this time last year he was so depressed and felt like he had nothing to live for.  Twelve months later and life is very different.  Long may it stay that way.

Will catch up with you all again tomorrow.   

Morning Squiggle.  You are about early today.  I hope you are feeling okay.  The sun is shining here today, which makes a change. 

Will catch up again later.  XXX

Hi Joyron, I've just got back from the dentist, she managed to fill it (my poor tooth broke in half, all front, no back) and its been hissing down all day, thick fog over the high ground coming back but I'm back again now and just about to settle down to a nice big bowl of warming comforting pea and ham soup.  Glad to hear the sun was shining somewhere, even if not here

Hi Squiggle.  Sorry to hear about your trip to the dentist.  I remember one Christmas Eve when I managed to get an emergency appointment with really bad toothache and had to have a tooth taken out!!  Didn't like having it done but it did save Christmas for me that year.  Glad you managed to get it sorted.

On another note, the sun stayed out for most of the day, thankfully.  Not sure what the coming days will bring.

If I don't catch up with everyone else this evening then I hope you have all had a good day.  Will speak to you all again tomorrow.  I send my love to anyone and everyone that needs it.     Sorry if that sounds a bit "sloppy" but I've just been watching Noel's Christmas Presents update and it always makes me cry!!

Hi to one and all!
No Twee yet?
Aww Squiggs that's horrid, wish I could make  it all better for you!bottle of vino that might help!
Evening, Jojo and Justa and Yoyo! hi to DB and Mary if you pop in!
Oo hecky thump I'll have to get a  leccytrician in .... a wall plug started smoking... good job I saw it! Phew!!!!!

Morning everyone. Just thought I'd give the thread a little bump as it was in danager of going off the page!!

Squiggle,  I hope you tooth is feeling a little better this morning.  Figtree, I hope you've got that electrician coming in.  Smoking wall plugs is not good.

Yogi, how is your husband getting on now?  I hope he's feeling an awful lot better.  Love to all my lovely Freddie friends.
