Anyone else on their own for Christmas?

I shall be on my Tod, thank goodness... It means I can ignore the whole business (while not in the least interfering with those who do want to whoop it up.) I had many wonderful Christmas days in the past, but no longer care to be bothered!

Enjoy! In my own way, so shall I.

Lona . A warm welcome withany. You'll find lots of support, lots of blethering and also some very good humour amongst us.

I will be on my own too, same as last year and several previous years.
It's just 24 hours like any other for me. Actually, I quite like it!

Withany, maybe he's done you a favour, he sounds like a selfish b***ard to me (and I should know).

Welcome withany, I really feel for you. There is always someone online to talk to, some of us Grans are night owls too

What more can I say, withany? Only that you have friends here and are welcome to drop in on any thread for companionship, a or some . I recommend soop's kitchen.

Withany welcome from me also. What a shocking thing to happen.

So far I am lucky with fanatic husband and so nut have lost. Y daughter and 3 Gra daughter due to estrangement.

Have found very supportive friends on here.

Keep posting we will all try help x

I won't be alone, but I will be at home and probably not doing much, unless it's a glorious day, in which case some of it will be spent tackling the garden. I'll look in to chat too, withany.

You are being incredibly brave. I admire you and your ability to be positive and not bitter. I hope the weather is kind to you so that you can get out and about. These grannetters art incredibly supportive, you'll be in safe hands here. They will pool their knowledge and give you great support. My best wishes

I'll probably be on my own as well. DD hasn't decided what they're doing yet, but I suspect it won't involve me.

withany, how awful for you. Do keep in touch with GN - we are quite good at 'being there'.

How awful for you withany did you have no idea this was going on ? you never know he may be home quicker than you think with his tail between his legs as the grass is not always greener etc.
Make a list of all the friends you can contact if you are kept in the house by bad weather and promise yourself you will keep in touch with them and enjoy your skyping with your DGCs and best of all take care of yourself.

I will be alone on Christmas Day so will come onto GN for a chat - like you I can also be trapped if we get heavy snow (last winter I couldn't get out of 8 days - was going stir crazy by the end!). Let us know roughly where you are as there may be other GNs close by

Stray ok in there thanks to Kindle finger tapping error!

Hi withany, the opening line of your post made me chuckle wryly. You clearly have a lot to give.

I signed up to the Winter Friend campaign yesterday, which is a pledge to look out for over 75s this winter. It sounds quite interesting too in that you receive weather updates etc. So it might be something you could get ok involved in.

Once we know where you are, someone from the GN army will hook up with you, I'm sure of that.

withany welcome. You'll find lots of love and support here so looking forward to chatting to you. You say you can be cut off during the winter snows.Where are you? Can we help? Hugs

Withany what can I say my heart goes out to you did you have any warning what was going on does he say any thing about the future or is there no future for your relationship either way you must be devastated as Phoenix asked where are you can any of us help

Hi withany and welcome. Seems to be the night for mustering together for support. Look forward to chatting to you.
