annie hope it’s not presumptuous of me to start the thread but I appear to have closed the last one and didn’t want to leave anyone with no where to go.
Welcome all x

Evening all, had a lot of visitors today.. my granddaughter had come to stay with Gran for the night should be fun...

Annie hope you are ok...

rafichagran Sciatica is very painful hope you get some relief soon.

Anniebach Sat 25-Jan-20 17:09:44

rafichafran. Who is to say what’s odd or what’s normal ,we
are who we are and should be accepted as such x

rafichagran Sat 25-Jan-20 16:52:59

Thanks Annie glad someone does not think it's odd.

Anniebach Sat 25-Jan-20 15:43:26

Sciatica is so painful rafichafran not odd that your mind is
concentrated on the pain. X

rafichagran Sat 25-Jan-20 15:30:56

Just dropping by to say hello, and hope everyone is not finding life too much of a struggle at the moment. Dawnsending best wishes to you.
I have Sciatica at the moment, and feel down and depressed at times but not all the time, in a funny way spending time thinking what to do to control the pain takes away the gloomy feelings. Odd I know.

Hi all x

How are things today ?

Joce345 Fri 24-Jan-20 20:52:34

Thanks Doodle, that’s a good idea, I will have to look at something like that yes thank you..

Doodle Fri 24-Jan-20 20:02:19

Not at all the same thing I know joce but could you perhaps book a weekend break with you grandchildren when they get back. Somewhere where you could have fun together. Might be nice to have something after they get back. So sorry you have been so let down.

Joce345 Fri 24-Jan-20 17:32:10

Eilyann thank you, yes we have been in contacts with Disney the lady said that they have so many they keep for Americans.. that is the only one they have, probably because of the price I think it is a lot.. hay ho

Annie bet it was nice to have a chat with someone. Did he have anything interesting to tell you?

Anniebach Fri 24-Jan-20 17:23:50

Joce ok thank you, delivery man from chemist delivered my months supply of Ensure so had a chat for few minutes, that was nice,

eilyann. Do try , I speak as one who didn’t , and had to go into psychiatric unit , I wanted to eat but !

eilyann Fri 24-Jan-20 17:07:01

Joce have you tried ringing the hotel direct? They don't always give all their rooms to the tour operators. Worth a phone call.
Annie it's a matter of 'You Must' . Having lost a LOT of weight and not being able to keep even water down ..... Getting better now though! Onward and upward!

Joce345 Fri 24-Jan-20 16:13:13

Annie how has your day been?

Joce345 Fri 24-Jan-20 16:12:05

Hi all, Doodle yes we will get our money back. There is no room anywhere in Disney now every place if full, the only one available is £10,000 bit much so that’s out..
got to stop getting upset about it now, it’s just it would be the last time we would may be go with them..
just get back into a bit of sewing daughter want a wigwam dogs bed making so think I will have a go at that keep busy.
Hope everyone has had a good day

Doodle Fri 24-Jan-20 13:41:18

Hello annie. Busy morning for me. Been cleaning taps. We have the plumber coming to look at our sink which is starting to smell. Think there may be a blockage somewhere. Couldn’t let him see the taps in the state they were so be cleaning like mad ?. We live in a hard water area and limescale is a continuous problem.
joce I do hope you get your money back. I think you have been treated appallingly. Is there any other company you can try to see if they have a room for you?
Be back later. x

Anniebach Fri 24-Jan-20 13:12:16

Hi all x

How goes the day ?

Joce345 Thu 23-Jan-20 23:34:07

Doodle yes payed them both. They just said they were sorry but the room they side was there isn’t. But TUI were so disgusted with how Virgin had treated us but then did the same 6 days after.. my grandkids are so upset...
thank you Dawn.

Dawn22 Thu 23-Jan-20 23:18:05

Joce thank you for your words above xx
I do feel for you because a break away is important for anyone. It will happen for you soon dv

Annie l think of snowdrops as fragile; yet they don't know their own internal strength; a bit like all of us here l think.

Dawn xx

Doodle Thu 23-Jan-20 22:58:07

I’m not surprised you feel like a rant joce that is so unacceptable. Did you pay them both money? Did they give you any reason for their deception? I think it’s very bad of them both to do such a thing. If you can’t write why not phone and see if you can get some answers that way.

Joce345 Thu 23-Jan-20 22:50:09

Evening all snow drops are lovely little flowers
Dawn good to hear from you do hope you are doing ok
Doodle pleased your grandson is now getting some help .. prayers are precious I pry for us all..
Doodle that’s two different holiday companies that have done the same thing, I just don’t understand how they can do it.. to let us book it Saturday and then tell us today that there is no hotel, that can never be right. My husband was in the shop waiting to get the booking reference number, when someone in the same shop was phoning me at home to say we hadn’t got hotel room ... I wish I could right a good letter I would be complaining to TUI and Virgin, but sadly I am no good at letter writing. Sorry for the rant..

Anniebach Thu 23-Jan-20 22:01:51

eilyann so sorry you have been ill, and the flashing blue light , scary. Give yourself time to recover. Force fed, do you mean
‘try a little more’ or ‘eat up you need it ‘. X

Doddle yes prayers are a precious gift x

Dawn yes I am very for snowdrops, a tiny bunch helped me
to recover when I was in a psychiatric unit, grief and eating
disorder, I was given a tiny bunch a friend dug out of snow,
I looked at these fragile little flowers and thought it you can do it so can I, and I did x

Dawn22 Thu 23-Jan-20 21:45:53

Hello everyone
Just to say that I bought and planted some snowdrops today. I meant for them to grow in the ground and them come up around February but l was too late for that. But hopefully these little things will blossom and come up in my rockery just at my front door. Not really a gardener but l love flowers.

Annie l remember you saying that if snowdrops can keep regenerating then we all can (or thoughts to that effect). Lovely to remember that. Talk soon.

Good night good people.
Dawn xx

Doodle Thu 23-Jan-20 19:13:06

joce I am sorry thar is really bad to be let down twice like that. No wonder you are so upset. What a lovely grandson to try and cheer you up.
eilyann how nice to hear from you. I am so sorry you have been unwell. Hope you are on the mend now. Thank you for your kind thoughts of DGS.
Hope everyone else is ok. You are so kind annie . Prayers are a precious gift. On other threads they don’t seem to get that.
Sleep well all x

eilyann Thu 23-Jan-20 18:45:56

I too love the Eva Cassidy version but sooo sad.
Doodle so pleased at least something has started for your DGS hope that and the new dog will see him flying soon'
Haven't been on for a while , have hit some sticky patches - physical -resulting in a blue light dash and a week in hospital. However I am home now and being force fed to try and get some weight on ! At this rate I'll be too heavy for take - off!
flowers and prayers to you all

Anniebach Thu 23-Jan-20 18:28:07

Fennel. I love the song but Eva Cassidy singing it , so beautiful but when I listen to her I too am upset, she was so
young and didn’t live to see she hit the charts with it.

Joce I am so sorry, disappointed twice, that’s cruel x
