YOU SHOULD HAVE TEXTED ME!!!

 

i came in here looking for you fueled by a bizarre sixth sense that your absence was not cos of work but cos you were struggling! 

 

And re: mother objects - mo uses my mums stick deodorant - her uni friend does too - they hold it aloft and thank nana for keeping them from smelling of BO,!

 

and - I have had to stop myself from hoarding all sorts that was for the bin but mum bought it for me

 

Ducks - you DID repay your mum, the sky tv, the heating bills and even I remember her delight at the iPad - you did look after her xxxx

 

sorry you're struggling Duckster - jan is a tough one at the best of times xxx. 

 

I finally now now believe my mum got sick and died - it's  taken over 18 mths for me to finally stop thinking "I can't believe its happened".  The acceptance came with a really nice (if a bit naff) Feeling that she was still 'with me'.  It means I don't miss her as acutely cos it feels like she's here

 

you prob have this level of insanity to come ��

 

right - snoring upstairs has abated - I shall return to bed  

 

I know, I know, I know, but I'm rubbish at talking to people when I need to.  I tend to just hide away till it blows over. Gawd knows how this thread got started..... 

 

Anyway, on the bright side, my new washer gets delivered on Thursday. And at the weekend I intend to attack the old one and release the drum. Then it's spray paint shopping! (I decided to sod waiting till Spring, I can at least get the drum ready). 

  I So want to see how this turns out ! What flowers do you think you'll grow Ducky?

 

Oh and please don't apologise for the thread  We've all been there xx

Its odd that this thread started ...

 

Yesterday we learned our neighbour across the road died.

He had breathing issues and the ambulance was at his door many many times.

Two were there recently - the last ones.

RIP Mr.Gordon - I will remember when he was dressed in full traditional Scottish dress for his daughter's wedding.

 

And tonight I learned a lady I used to work with died only 2 weeks after discovering she had bone cancer.

RIP Eileen 

We'd moved her into spraying old washing machines with glitter paint and planting a load of sweet peas and sunflowers in it!!   I am running out of stuff to use to brighten her up,,   It's gonna be unicorns and storm trooperseat this rate

 

 

 

(on a serious note Renton (ha)  last year I felt like life was all death, death, more death and then death - it's grim xx)

 Sympathies to you Saint  

Omg! I haven't laughed like that in a long time!!   I just went for a lil bowl around see what's been occurring ....   

 

I see see you have all gone completely barking then ��

 

ruined facebook arguments for me - it's all so tame and on topic compared to here

 

yourr all probably still simmering a bit and are not appreciating my comments - but ... I didn't comment in the thread - I have tried to have some consideration ��

Awww Ditty, you're all heart, I'm sure that everyone involved appreciate it

 

ltns, which is my fault darlin' Ditty. 

 

But not getting your gist in this comment. You would never put a foot wrong even if you did! 

You and me both Donks!  I suspect it may involve FB. 

 

Thanks Rog  

 

I will post photos don't worry I haven't decided on the plants yet...... but daffodils definitely need to be in the mix somewhere! 

 

When do you need to plant daffodil bulbs I wonder?  

 

*goes for a quick google before bed* 

 @ Ducky 

 

 

So why are you telling this to Supes when she's not the one who's revived it, Baz?

I've just been watching the machinations of Wolf Hall - it reminds me of this place when there's a difference of opinion.  I've been here long enough to know who dislikes whom, and for the most part it's of little bother...until a spat starts up.  And then the lines are drawn and old, long held grudges come back to the fore.  

I wish Pengy hadn't taken off and I wish it hadn't turned into such a rumpus.  I feel sorry that her departure gave chance for others to use it for their own agendas.

Err... how about looking a bit further up the thread, Baz?

It isn't Supes who's revived the topic.

 

Also, I can't see any personal attack?  By all means show me as I've obviously missed it.

Where was the personal attack before the above frank comment?

So, if you know where it started then why not comment on that instead of blaming Supes for taking up 'the case'?  The case had already been taken up!

But that's ok is it?  

 

As for fence sides - that's a very telling comment, don't you think?  Most of us don't have to take sides, nor do we feel pressured into doing so.  Why would anyone have to resort to such a thing?  Who's suggesting that we should take sides?

 

Ha!  I'd elope with ya but apparently there's fences to be overcome  

Damn those elephants in the room, Velvet - can't help but notice them  

 

I'm done  

  Never a truer word spoke.

 

I was very touched by Ducky's posts. This thread is primarily about grief and love, things we can all relate to  . These are the important things in life.

 

[That, and who nicked who's banana on CBB ]. Lets draw a curtain over the rest.

 

 

Aww Ducky  I understand completely. 

 

After my Dad died, I decided to have his old Mondeo (instead of selling it) as I felt very sentimental about it.  It was far too big for me but I loved it as I totally associated it with my beloved Dad.  On my way to work one morning, about five months later, a lorry smashed into the back of me   I was distraught when they said it was a write off and cried for days (as did my Mum).  I had an understanding boss who said she had felt the same about her Dad's swing bin(!!!!)(seriously - though I did understand when she explained). 

 

It's horrible, because it hits you afresh every time something like this happens.  I hope you're okay and have an extra big xxxxxx

Hope you're feeling a bit better, Ducky.

 

It's a ghastly thing, losing one's mother, no matter what age we are, but it's true that time is a great healer.  (I know that sounds a tad corny but I believe it to be true) x

See, it's funny you should say the BIB. It resonates a memory around the time I logged in a couple of years back, when I and other FMs were 'forbidden' by the forum moderator not to mention (for want of a better word/term....) a prolific poster who was repeatedly banned. This 'rule' clearly excludes the selective few, it seems. It's no wonder why so many of us can't be @rsed to post here anymore.

Ducky and Ditty

If people insist on continuing the spat about 'spoilers', I don't think they could have chosen a more inappropriate thread in which to do it.

 

 

Ducky I think you have to plant daffs before Xmas late autumn/early winter but, you may get some late bloomers in garden shops in pots that you can plant in the drum and will flower next yr and so on too

I thought there was going to be an update on a dismantled washing machine and maybe some pics

If its too late to plant daffs. how about a ready grown miniature rose or mini tree Ducky?  

Nah, Aimee's the go-to girl for that  

OMG. Seriously, people?? A great thread ruined.

 

Was my comment in the other thread not clear?

 

I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY (as you know from past experience) that it's not fair to talk about people who have left the building, of their own accord, or with help.

 

Let's put this incident to bed: I don't care if it's an "elephant in the room". This is not a therapy group, where we all have to get it all out. It's a group of people who are supposed to be treating each other with respect. If you can't do that, and you feel stifled by that request, please repair to FB or another forum where they don't care about this stuff. 

 

Is THAT clear?

You're right Madame, out of respect for Ducky and her mum, I will delete my posts, although clearly i can't delete where I've been quoted, so perhaps others will consider doing the same? 

 

A swing bin?  That makes my washing machine freak out look almost normal  Just goes to show that anything can hold sentimental value I suppose.  

 

As for your Dad's Mondeo.... Christ Scatts I can quite imagine how distraught you were ..... but remember, that thing saved you from being squished by a lorry! He was obviously looking out for you.   

 

Olly's idea of getting some that are already partly grown may be a goer? But I need to wait and see how big the drum is, and how it sits in my garden before deciding what to put in it I think. 

 

I'm soooo attacking the thing come the weekend.  

 

Get ready for a detailed picture diary of dismantling a washer! Or increasingly frustrated posts about how the bloomin heck you're supposed to dismantle a washer. One or the other.

 

.

 Can't wait Ducky. This is gonna be EPIC  

Ducky when I read this the night you posted it I shed a tear..... Really looking forward to the planter idea and all the dismantling fun you have in the process

And don't mix them with anything too dark....the colours might run!

Very much looking forward to either of those things happening

That's what my boss said x

 

Yes, it's amazing the things that can set you off xxx
