Goodnight Erin.

Is it Mrs. Stallone?

Nope

Night John Boy

 Why oh why, oh why?

i went to pub

cos a pyschic pissed lisa off

against my believes

i went for it

paid a tenner

he talked bollox

then he said an older lady was with him

her body closed down

all she wanted was for me to be happy

Do you believe in that kind of stuff, Pirate?  I do.  I hope you got comfort from it xx

That's who I thought too.

They must use the same surgeon!

the bloke told me things-i didnt move my face-so he wouldnt know-then he told me about tall people in my family-but im tall

so ignored that

then he said about someone

their organs broke down

and they wanted me there

bloke said

Mom wanted me there

and she's watching me to make sure i dont f*ck up

Honestly pirate, would you not know that anyway? Why would your mum not want you to be happy when she was alive? Don't listen to charlatans and certainly don't pay. It's a hard slog to get used to your mum not being there, but just go through it with every emotion that entails.

Very good! But I don't get why she went to bed with the door open after thinking she saw something in the passage. To be fair I cannot sleep with the bedroom door open under any circumstances.

Pirate - my friend used psychics and card readers - you name it.

She even played me tapes of the sessions she had.

Spent a fortune,

"A tall dark man will appear at your door with flowers"

Only for this to actually happen and gave my friend 4 years of abuse.

Years later i asked her if it was all worth it.

Unbelievably she just said,

"Nah - load of rubbish" ... I was

Pirate take it with a pinch of salt.  I know you are still hurting, but they feed on that pain.  Of course your Mother would want you to do well, most mothers do, and in fairness we all die when our bodies and organs shut down.

I went to one when I lived in American who told me there were many loved ones over the water thinking of me.  Well DUH! I had an English accent.  She also went on to tell me I wouldn't have children for at least another 5 years. I was 4 months pregnant with Master C at the time.    My poor mate who was with me was told she was so far gone she needed faith healing sessions at $100 per session, and at least 10 of them

How do you get to almost 43 years old and not know this is how pineapples grow? 

I saw that the other day and realised I had never, ever thought of where pineapples grow.

I probably haven't thought about it before Erin, but if asked I'm sure I would have said on a tree.  I've just asked Mr C and he said on a tree.  AND he's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy older than me.  (Well 3.5 years )

Soozy I'm lucky that I manage to grow weeds. 

I would probably have said they grow on those trees that look like pineapples that you see in Spain etc. 

I never knew that was how they grew either.

Brussel sprouts - i never knew til recently

I second what Cologne said.

Look after yourself Pirate xx 

Day 2 of bathroom refit.... losing the will to live..........

oooh snap.  Ours starts tomorrow.  Builders coming to move windows and take walls down and put new walls up.  etc etc.  I still haven't picked tiles yet 

It's taken me a while... it's the actress that played the mother in The Waltons!

Oh yours sounds much worse than mine has been... He came yesterday to rip out the shower cubicle and sink unit.... then he put a bath in their place. Today he has been putting a smaller sink and a toilet....... I can't wait for him to go! The girls have been off all day today with the strike and my son was only in until 1pm..... 3 kids.... bored kids in one room for a few  hours is sending me mad

Still got to have someone else come back and re-tile it all

 Oh no, what has she done to herself?!

Looks like she used the same plastic surgeon as Sly Stallone and his mother, Jackie.

Nightmare!!  I hate having people in doing work but even worse if it's in the loo.  What if you REALLY need to go?  

Have you never eaten brussel tops, Saint?

They're milder than the actual sprout but very tasty - a bit like a more flavourful spring green.

Bluddy Norah..!  THAT's Mama Walton..???? 

So glad my bathroom nightmare is behind me ...........stay tuned for the patio/arbour saga

Honestly she'd look better if she'd just let herself go and had 10 million wrinkles.

I think not 

She looks like a cartoon now! She was a lovely looking woman and she surely would have aged quite well.

Or alternatively, go to a half-decent surgeon 

Haha! Yeah, I agree!   Just shows........money and all that.  

Well i've got a down stairs toilet too so that hasnt been too much of a problem... well apart from not being able to flush all day

I've got a break today as everything is plumbed in and the tiler guy isn't coming until tomorrow... that's if he turns up! I have had bad experience with him not turning up and not even calling

Hope all yours goes smoothly Cinds!!
