Was doing quite well for myself until Tuesday when I heard my aunty had passed away. Its upset the lot of us, as she was the most communicative of Dads family.

oh, and i just found out, Christmas is 39 days away.

i'm on 3 x 20mg citalopram daily and diazepam prn suffer from depression, anxiety and panic attacks can i join?

Fran soz you had a cold for your birthday.

Why do we teach our kids to share things lol

Trinity welcome aboard

YCaz. Please get the rest you need

its nice to see illnesses like these recognised

Hi Trinity There are so many people suffering from them that it is good to have somewhere to let off steam lol

It's a good way of saying how you feel from day to day or time to time

xx

Evening to you all,
Hello Caz,hope you feeling a little better.
Another night of no sleep,
Love and thoughts
Christine xx

Hi everyone, being away is a sure way to loose touch with whats going on.

Big welcome to new posters.

Y Caz sorry you are feeling so poorly. Sending you a gentle hug mixed with soft kisses. xxx

Getting sorted out at home, so if anyone needs a chat I'll be ready to start listening again xx

For Y/Caz

Feel better soon our lovely and adorable Caz.

Well had a massive storm here on Friday night all lightening and thunder but no rain. Everything is starting to dry up and the hot winds over a couple of days have singed all my roses.

I managed to get a couple of roses to take to the cemetery, but had to pick loads of bottle brush in various colours to make it look pretty.

I am feeling better now that have my pills again. I had started over a week before I ran out to try and see the doctor. At time it is ridiculous here just trying to get a prescription.

It is great to see the thread moving again.

love and hugs

Gail

A very good morning to all my old fiends and new one's alike.
It's been a long time since I have posted but I do keep up to date and read of the going's on.

I can recall when Deanne, Carole, Anne, Caz and others used to banter for weeks ahead prior to reaching a deadline of 3000 then 4000 postings.. who would post dead on time and receive cheers!. sadly the 5000 posting has passed by without the presence of some of you lovely people!
If you are reading Deanne, kick your butt and return to us pronto lass, we all miss you so much, I especially miss our battles of 'words' typed, I usually beat you with my talks of' 'walkies' and Toby's antics xxxx
And Caz xxx I still have not given up on you being my star turn, okay so you are falling about plenty at the moment but I have a lovely sledge which Toby will ride you around in, jingle bells and flashing lights too xx

I just could not let this day go by without celebrating our 5000 postings on this our thread, a thread which has been a saviour to so many and for many more to come, if needed.
Bless you all and take care

JPage xxxxxxxxxx

JP I just realised I was the 5000 poster.

Horray for me Happy 5000.

So who is going to be the 6000 poster.


This is a great thread and a great lot of people I can call friends.

Gail

Gail, congrats on being the 5,000 poster.I agree, this is a great thread.
Welcome to the new posters.
Only popped in to wish everyone a good day. If only it was sunny instead of grey & miserable.
Am going along to my daughter Eleanor, who is 40 (!!) today,so haven't read all the posts here yet, am running after my tail a lot lately.

Morning all.

Gail congratulations on being the 5000 poster.
Joyce good job you noticed. :o)

Thinking of all who are feeling poorly. Not myself as I have got into a right mess with my tablets, missing days, taking double and time difference truly confused me.

Anyone interseted (edit! interested) in seeing my holiday photos who I have not sent a link to, let me have your address to send it to. Have a lovely new photo which my cousin took of Mary and me.

Gail how are you? x

Christine nice to see you here.x

Good afternoon to everyone. Carol glad you had a good holiday and hi JP.

Not feeling great today, as I woke with another sore throat. Been gargling with salt water and keeping myself wrapped up. lol

Is the race on for the 6000th person?? pmsl

Wishing you all a good day

xx

For Y/Caz Hoping you are getting the rest the docs ordered. You must behave or your OH has instructions to put you over his knee pmsl

Speak soon

Love Vods xx

Ooh sorry missed the 5000 posting although I was aware it was looming! well done Gail, congratulations. what a thread, 5000 messages, phew!

Just popped in, nasty day here, been making my christmas cards, made about 130 now, nearly time to stop and start writing them.

YCaz, i hope you are taking things easy as ordered. Carole have PMd you my e mail address for photo, hope you are over the jet lag now.

Joyce, how lovely to see you, what news of Toby? Do tell us.

For those interested Gill is fine and reads the boards.

Hello Trinity, anybody an join this thread is they are suffering themselves or wish to be supportive to those who are suffering in anyway. it is a long thread to read through but if you skim a few pages you will see what i mean. sometimes you may just need to talk to somebody, well someone is usually about on this thread, if not immediately then not before too long.

Mornin', it was snowing when I came home from work last evening, I drove VERY carefully as I haven't changed to winter tires yet (more procrastination). Carole thanks for the photo, you have inspired me to go on a diet, side-view indeed . . . .
The handyman built me a "lean-to shed" last week to cover the bikes for the winter, just a frame with heavy plastic attached. Well this morning, it's snowing gently and the plastic is vertical from the wind, no longer attached to the frame.
miniMary apparently cleared her room last evening while I was at work, now there is laundry and stuffed animals overflowing down the hall to the kitchen and my little washer can't cope with it all.
Had a difficult evening at work,one death and 2 others on the edge,ready to leave but fighting it every step of the way. When one wants one's physical body to be donated to science, a complexity of procedure is created which is most difficult on a weekend, as none of the contact offices are open. I continue to learn things I hadn't planned on.LOL

Today is Nov 16th - my dear Uncle Bill has reached another milestone, 106, of course it's tomorrow in NZ, while we are still in today (if that makes sense). A warm and kind man, a big teddy bear really, when we travelled to NZ for his hundredth b'day, I was amazed he was still walking without benefit of cane, except on long walks outside. He was my mother's older brother, always asked if there was anything she needed, so kind and generous. She adored him and when she died almost 8 years ago, he admitted he was "very fond of her". Some Victorian emotional restraint still apparent.
I'm manging on the 40 mg of Citalopram now, quite a struggle to get sorted after messing it up, down again after seeing myself sideview in Carole's photo!!! It was a bulky pullover . . . .
have a good day all, and welcome Trinity, we are a good bunch,there's a lot of caring here.
Mary

Thank you for your good wishes Betty. Have been at her place. It is so strange to see her at 40, but to think back to when she was a 'wild' toddler, the only 'wild' one of my five children, and now a mother of two teenagers...

Happy birthday to your daughter Betty! Did you go there to celebrate it with her?

Hope too that Deanna is looking in, miss her sooo much.

Love to all from Eileen x

Just off to bed but have to check you are all
in too! Back to work in the morning. Going to Chapel St Leonards near Skeg. Too cold to go in for a paddle. Getting over the jet lag. Never been this bad before.

Mary you look just fine. Everyone has seen you and will agree! (sorry)..

Trinity hope you will find it helps to have friends to listen and really understand xx
