I don't know how some cope !

I have just posted yet another joke because I think a lot of people on here need something to smile about.

I have spent the last half hour reading blogs about people having difficulty with ASOS, Doctors, Social Housing Associations etc. and I realise how bloody lucky I am!

Yes I have Bronchiastasis/Copd, have had a couple of TIA's, have arthritic joints and suffer badly with panic attacks. I am also a widow and live on my own without a carer

BUT

I do not have the need for contact with ASOS or any offfical body and I have a superb doctor and our local hospital is good. So although I can empathise I cannot know how difficult it can be for a lot of you.

So all in all I think I am a very fortunate person. I also have this site which when I am feeling sorry for myself soon brings me back to earth.

Love you all

Janet

Please keep the jokes coming Jan, they are a wonderful tool to use as a counter-weight against reality :) x x x

I'm fortunate too Janet, the thought of official bodies - yuk. Had enough trouble getting my blue badge and unlike you I don't live alone so have even more to be thankful for.

Sent your last joke (5 boyfriends) to my sister and two friends, made me giggle.

Thank you Jan for the jokes - much appreciated by this member without taking away from others who are having a very rough time at the moment. :)

Your joke (5 boyfriends or was it 6) has disappeared, maybe because I copied & pasted it and I've pasted it away! and I'm trying to order from M & S everytime I get to Place Order the error page comes up, must be them although it was happening yesterday too. Think I'll have a little nap.

Thankyou Janet but I have got it in my e-mail sent folder as I have copied & pasted and forwarded it on. Was going to have a nap but the sun has come out (in Bridgnorth, Shropshire at least) no way am I going to miss it. Happy sunshine everyone.

Love this blog Jandan. It's nice to see your serious side as well as your humorous side. I noticed that you live alone. If you would like me to send my wife to live with you (yes, the husband beater) it can be arranged. I will even throw in free delivery.

Lots of love from Bobby xxxx

Thanks for the offer but I think I will pass on this occasion as funnily enough after 36 years of marriage I quite like my own company ;)
