Morning all. Up early to be able to drink my coffee before the scan but I didn’t enjoy it as much as usual. Anxiety dreams since 4am, the hospital didn’t have a toilet so I went looking for one and I was too late for my appointment! Not worried about the test itself as the ultrasound is quite easy.
Have a nice day x 
Evening all. Well I thought I posted earlier obviously not or maybe I posted on the wrong thread? Mystery. Anyway welcome
Begentle you’ll find caring friends here.
Nanny sorry I didn’t remember meeting you before, perhaps because I’ve only recently become a regular on this thread. Binks sounds like a gorgeous cat.
Nonnie I used to feel sorry for myself with children and grandchildren abroad, then I came across so many on here who tragically have lost their children, so I’ve no right to complain.
Have a good evening everybody x 
Thank you both. I've been having a few rubbish days. My youngest is home from uni with anxiety and I feel useless, unsure how to help. Many other problems too, an ill cat (for nearly three months now), struggling with money, benefits review coming up .. I'll not go on!
Nice to meet you all 
Morning everyone,
Thank you Annie. I remember the Aberfan disaster very well.
BlueSky I seem ok this morning, a bit bruised but not too bad. I’m hoping my results will come through quickly.
Thank you Doodle. I’m sorry that you’re dealing with a family worry, I hope it’s sorted out soon.
Thank you Joce. I’m just a bit bruised.
Nanny Binks has obviously started to trust you now which just goes to show how much love you have shown. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling very low, I hope things get better for you soon.
Nonnie Sorry that your DH had a fall, glad he didn’t do any major damage. I’m sorry that you’re feeling low and that you’re concerned about your friend. I think that you’re right, the only people who can truly know what she’s going through are people who have been in the same position. I don’t know if you’re able to talk to her on the phone or by text, maybe she’s not ready yet.
Leaving home at 2pm for my mammogram, very nervous 
Have a good day everyone x
BlueSky we sanitise everything, even our hands after we bring the post in, yes probably overkill but I want to stop this (insert your own &£%&()& here).
Oh Joce I couldn't agree more. Yes, I miss my friend and do see one DS but only from a distance when he drops things off. The rest of the family are only on video calls.
Chrissy what a hassle, makes me angry that they don't listen and understand.
Sardycat we have never had Christmas on our own and the thought is so horrible. I'm planning to make the puddings and get the family to virtually stir them. One Dil has sent lists of what everyone would like for Christmas, far earlier than normal, but I can't think of ordering anything as they may not be here. Thinking of giving them a list and telling them to put on our credit card.
Nanny2507 welcome back but sorry you are finding things so hard at the moment. Good to hear about Binks I think he is good for you.
Chrissy fall sounds horrible, knocks you confidence but let me suggest a positive - DH went a real purler last week and cut his head. He still has aches and pains but I said that it was good news that he didn't break any bones so probably doesn't have osteoporosis. His glass is always half empty and mine half full 
Annie when those memories hit you out of the blue it is very powerful.
Doodle I feel for you with the family worries, still pray for you by name every night. My list is getting very long now.
Feeling low today, not too low but decided to ask DH to take friend to hospital appointment for me and stay home. I keep thinking about the friend whose 19 year old son died suddenly a couple of weeks ago, can't get her out of my mind. I think its because I know how she feels and what it is like waiting for the coroner etc. I know she has lots of lovely support but doubt any of them really understand how she feels.
Yes binks is a fereal he appeared about 9 months ago and in this time he has grown into a very handsome boy. He is now well fed and a beautiful glossy boy. He still hisses when he sees me at first I thought it was aggression but now I think its fear. Im still trying desperately for him to shelter in the kennel but he wont. He now comes to me when I call and I still sit in my front garden talking to him like a weirdo but im in it for the long haul. X
Just to wish you goodnight.
Chrissy sorry you fell, it’s easily done, hopefully you won’t be too badly bruised. Meant to say don’t worry about having to wait too long for your NHS mammogram
results, as the last couple of times I had mine done, they were back in a week, I was even alarmed to have them back so early but all OK.
Nanny hello from me too, like Chrissy not sure who Binks is?
Hope everybody else is OK tonight.
Sleep well all x 
Good evening everyone
Annie You’re absolutely right, at least I don’t have to wait a month to get the mammogram done.
Joce I understand about how upsetting it is not to see children and grandchildren, let’s hope that will change soon.
Doodle So glad that your DH is feeling much better. Yes gritting my teeth will have to be how I handle it.
Scaredycat The video of the dog sitting by the waters edge and singing a doggy song sounds very cute. That made me smile.
nanny2507 I don’t think you’ve posted since I joined so hello. I’m not sure what animal Binks is but you sound very happy to have stroked him/her
Hi to BlueSky lavenderzen apologies if I’ve missed anyone.
I had a nasty fall this afternoon. Stepped on the decking and there were some wet leaves. My feet went from under me and I went down with a bang. Luckily I’m ok, just got a bruised lower back and elbow and a bit of a cut on my ankle.
Sleep well everyone x
