To all you lovely ladies who have replied and I haven't managed to respond to you individually, thanks for the words of advice, sympathy and sometimes criticism, it has all helped and pleased to say we have been together and things are ok again. I do sometimes think all this texting and messaging has stopped us being able to communicate the same as we did when I was young. Also, we never knew what the next person was up to unless we lived right next to them. I remember only seeing my mum once a week, unless there was a special occasion to be celebrated, and we would spend a good couple of hours catching up and telling each other all the news from both sides and it was lovely. Nowadays, I might only see my kids once a week, but will know what they have been up to because of social media ect, so not so much to talk about when we do see each other.
I am turning into one of these 'oh, for the good old days lol'.
Anyone else too wet for seed potatoes?
