Hi fellow Grans, I am here to rant again, after a little tearful session I have to write, I have asked about this before but I am at breaking point and need to ask again. As I have said before, I live with a control freak, this evening he did it again, I was watching Casualty, streamed onto my computer, and had ten seconds to go to the end of it, BH came to say he was going to bed, as he has to work tomorrow, he had turned the TV off, he knew I would be watching it as he has watched it all evening, the programmes he wanted to see, I was content with my streamed programmes from the UK. This evening I asked again, why does he turn the TV off when he knows I always watch when he has gone to bed, his answer was that it costs electricity to leave it on when nobody is watching, I said I turn it on again after a few minutes, that must take as much electricity, he was really annoyed I had taken this up again, and when he is defeated, he doesnt want to talk anymore, he pulled the bed clothes over his head, and that was the end of the discussion! Its like being in a Nursery at times, I feel like a child, and I am 75, at the end of my tether as I am writing this. I dont want sympathy just advice how to cope, I feel like running away, but have nowhere to run to, we live in another Country,and its not easy to get anywhere to live, my children dont really have the place to put me up so ita a no no situation. I feel so much better now, having written to all you lovely understanding Grans, now I am off to bed, and hope i can sleep,good night all.
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
