That's rotten for you, ruby. I hope you start to pick up soon. Have a soothing brew and put these flowers in a vase to cheer yourself up.

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling poorly rubylady these winter bugs can drag on and on making you feel all together rubbish can't they? The dark days don't help as they tend to drag your mood down making everything seem so much worse than it is. I really sympathise with you. I tend to be the person who looks after everyone else and when i am down or feeling ill I tend to just have to get in with it.

As for "Marilyn" we all make mistakes and we can all be hard to handle at times. Does she think that she is perfect? I do hope you are feeling better soon. Sometimes getting wrapped up and going out in the fresh air can make you fell 10 times better. flowers for you.

My little doggie has been brilliant with me, however, getting up in the night with me, sleeping at my side, and not complaining as I've not managed to get her out the same. I would have been lost without her. Father Christmas will reward her well. smile

I'm now six weeks since stopping smoking, which is brilliant, but after two courses of antibiotics, feeling terrible, I am now full of a cold and still feel awful. I just want to get on with Christmas things, seeing the town in lights, shopping, cleaning up etc. But feel lousy. And not getting any sympathy, help or even phone calls off anyone asking how I am off family who know I have been ill.

Marilyn quote " I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

Surely if people want to be around you when well, they can at least call to see if you are ok when you are ill, or if live with you, make more than one cup of tea in three weeks?

Sorry for whinging, I am not a good patient.

Can my GNer friends help me feel a bit better? smile
