OK! You are not going to believe this. My guests decided to get on the road to their next destination today. They just left.
This whole dinner plan was to introduce them to my friends. Whatever. It’s their vacation and who am I to tell them what to do? Kinda rude as they know about the dinner and such, but nothing disappoints me anymore.
It was good to see them after so many years.
Honestly, it is just fine. If they hadn’t come the house would not be so clean so it is all good.
Love.
Oh no peaches that’s a shame after you had gone to so much trouble x
If it was me and I had booked a chef and gone to all that trouble I would be much madder than you!!! I think you are being very gracious.
Peaches I’m glad you are fine with that, because I’m not. They came early, went out before you woke without so much as a note, then left early knowing you were planning a dinner party. On top of this you have just lost your husband and need your friends. Maybe it’s ok in America but that would not be acceptable in the UK. If they were my friends they would need a very good reason for doing that and I may still never invite them again. Sorry if you think I’m harsh I just feel for you as I know how much you were looking forward to it. I do hope you still get to enjoy the meal. Xx
Don’t know why but having a really bad day loads of tears think it’s because my sister in law and brother in law called round they were telling me all their plans for the weekend and for Easter my brain was screaming it should be me and Chris, instead I expect i’ll be spending several days on my own managed to keep it together till they left then i was in floods of tears and once i start crying can’t seem to stop 
It is difficult to hear others plans for holidays. You cry and let those emotions out. Could you make some plans with your family
Barbarap it’s hard when we are still in limbo to see others making plans. Our lives feel they have stopped. I don’t know about you but we had lots of plans for this year and now I doubt I will do any of them. You have a right to cry.
All I can suggest is see what is going on in your area. Even if it’s just a farmers market, something to get you out of the house. Is there any woods nearby. Bluebells are just coming out and they can look beautiful. I may have a trip to the woods myself. It’s not the same I know. I miss our trips away in our camper so much. I was so happy and content. I didn’t need anything more, or anyone else. I am going to be very brave and drive to my sons for Easter. I hope a change of scenery will help.
It is very hard watching and listening to friends making plans for holidays. We had plans this year ,sad. Xx
Did you have a nice lunch Dave?
Nigel you will do better, I just know it xxx
Yes i was very nice .we five guy’s burgers ,enjoyed it sort of
There was 1 special person missing .other wise it was njce
Hello, you are not alone, I am not feeling the best today. I have had a day at work, its really hard being friendly and cheerful at the moment. A customer I have known for years, bought me flowers, which started the tears flowing, I had to go into the kitchen for a while,
The trouble is, it was a lovely gesture, but now bunches of flowers just remind me of death, I know that sounds a bit mean, but since the funeral, that’s how I feel.
Hope you are feeling better now xx
You are right by going to the kitchen nobody knows what you are going except you,so sorry had a bad day .my day was not bad. Xx
OMG,- Peaches I’d be so angry for you.
I’m realty struggling tonight despite a good night with friends. I’m so unhappy tonight!! I’m not sure how to cope tonight. Really don’t how hoe to cope!
That’s good its something to look forward to, good he said he would make sure you were on with an experienced person, some companies are not good at that !
I remember my last building I worked in before retiring, I took the job knowing it was lone working on night duty but didn’t think I would be thrown into the deep-end so quickly, I got 1 night working with someone and the next night I was on my own, it was a building on 4 floors with 50 flats, oh me I spent the night getting lost, no clue what I was doing, how are you meant to find your way around a very confusing building with only one night shadowing😱
I survived and found my way around without getting lost after a week, but if anything was going to happen it was when I was on shift the things I dealt with in the first 6 months proved to me the place should have 2 on duty at night, every chance I got I kept saying it to management, it did happen 2 years after me moaning at every supervision lol xxx
I hope when you do get your next shift it will be a good experience xxx
My goodness Peaches thats a very big fine for one day late they must make a fortune out of that, people would only be late once with a fine that size xxx
Glad you enjoyed your lunch Dave and its lovely weather too xxx
Yes it was nice starting to get upset .that tine of night xxxxx
Of course Dave that goes without saying xxx
