Hi Debbie
Feeling quite a bit better now. Phoned Cruse and spoke to a lovely kind lady on there. Just nice to know that they are there when you have a day where you are struggling and they dont tell you what you should do or judge you .
Even though my counselling has finished I can still have the option for more and I think there is are group sessions starting up again in my local area too.
Hope the rest of the evening is a peaceful one
Love and best wishes

Hi all.
Just gonna throw this idea out here. Would anyone be interested in starting a WhatsApp group? If not thatās fine. But thought it might be easier to keep in touch. Can be silenced if need be. But donāt know. Just an idea.

I would Nic.
Feeling a little low tonight - think when Iāve had good days in a row they are also tiring and when you get tired the funk creeps in. Also going to the doctors in the morning so probably have that in the back of my mind.

I am open to the idea, but would need to exchange mob numbers via private messaging. It certainly an easier way to chat and keep up. X

Iām hoping Iāll find something nice for me and the dogs. I love the flat Iām in but seeing my mums room makes me incredibly sad and I think it would be nice to start afresh in a place thatās just mine.

Going into work for the first time is always going to be hard. I cried all the way to work on my first day back. Itās going to play on your mind, but once you decide the time is right it will get easier each day you go in. Even now I still have the occasional meltdown at work, people are very kind they understand. X X

Hello to all
Donāt know why but my phone has sorted all the posts from start to finish so itās taken me ages to get to this stage in the thread! It did give me the opportunity to see everyoneās brilliant photoās though. Also, there were some I missed at the time and Iāve found even if you look at the same picture a 2nd time thereās always something new about it. I was absolutely mindblown by Christineās indoor pictures, what I wouldnāt give for creativity like that. The garden updates are brilliant. All those little rose bushes ready to plant and the plug geraniums. I always call it the "Alice in Wonderlandā garden, itās so enchanting. Iāve noticed in your photos Neil that you seem to be looking a bit more confident and stronger as time has progressed, some of the pictures with the performers are fantastic. I looked at some of the earlier ones and it seems like you posted them yesterday, yet they were in February. Where did all that time go? Debbie you have some lovely plants. If thatās a red rose bush itās incredible. I donāt think I saw that picture Nic before of the little blonde girl by the pool, ābutter wouldnāt meltā springs to mind. Good in you Beki with all that work thatās gone into the garden. You can tell by looking at the photos what a job itās been but now you can do the nice bits to it that are more interesting, either that or see if Titchmarsh is free one Saturday afternoon. Thereās a few of yours Suzanne that Iāve seen for the first time. Do you ever sell any to places like tourist magazines or the like?, you could easily do they are amazing.
I havenāt looked yet at everyoneās recent posts in much detail. The last one of yours Neil was about you having a low spell after several good days, especially as you say the wheelchair people will be needing their stuff back. I can well imagine what an impact that must have be having. Youāll come back from it but itās bound to be upsetting. I was the same and I will be again because Iāve not returned Mums wheelchair yet either.
Hope the break went ok Suzanne. Back down to Earth now isnāt it! You made me laugh about the rebel Debbie. There is always one isnāt there! Do I remember right about you working in a school? Maybe they should be concentrating more on the length of the skirts some of these kids call a school uniform. I donāt believe their Mums donāt know what they look like. How times have changed from when I was at school!
Nic, Lucy and Beki. Sorry to hear youāve been having some rubbish days. Iāve been bad recently with Anxiety. Some days your mind canāt help but wonder about the future and panic runs away with you. What has happened still doesnāt feel real. Thereās a temporary-ness about things. Itās awful. Then I think of Mums cousin and what she might be doing before remembering that she passed away 5months after Mum. Weād all have a three way chat on speaker phone and stuff, how can things be all one way and then all be different. Iāll have to stop talking about that as itās quite upsetting. Had bad times this week on the domestic front as there was a bitter row and atmosphere between my Brother and me so Iāve been upset about that too. Everything is a mess really and it is my Husbandās birthday next week too so thatās bothering me.
Well, been typing away and realise I have missed the news, might try catch up later.
Nothing doing that I know of for me this week. Zoe is going to a 1st Birthday meet-up this weekend with her 13 siblings. Think they are going to Southport Beach. One Shepsky is a handful I think Iād have a nervous breakdown with 13 of them bounding about!
Christine I hope things are OK with you and if you are having a bad time, that there is someone looking out for you. Iāve had a lot of bad thoughts that have been troubling me recently and Iāve gone into that state of just wanting to hide. I thought Iād write a message to you all while I feel up to it.
I would do WhatsApp,
Much love xx

Hi Tina,
Lovely to hear from you as always and yep back to reality with a bang after a great weekend awayā¦.spent loads and when I looked at my statement all I can see is basically places Iāve stuffed my face from burgers, pizzas and ice cream 
x glad I did a lot of walking

I would love to be a full time photographer but donāt have the confidence but I never say never x
Sorry to hear your brother has been causing issues again for you and if you ever want to talk about it Iām/weāre hear you listen x
I couldnāt deal with all those dogs at once but hope Zoe has a good party when it comes x
Take care of yourself and here if you ever want to talk xx

Iām not sure what overcame me but I just deep cleaned the bathroom whilst watching Stranger Things. Now Iām all itchy thanks to the cleaning fluid 
I feel dreadfully guilty as seen some friends on fb posting pics with their mums and mums in their 80s and 90s and I feel mine was cheated. When it said in the census report today the average age for a woman in 82 and I felt pissed she was cheated more than a decade. Then You see the sad news on Deborah Bull passing at 40 and you think there for the grace of god, itās all a lottery and not a neat set of statistics. The life in your years not the years in you life as they say
Iām off to find some antihistamines!
