Hello there. Been missing for a couple of weeks, over the festive season. Having a bad spell - again - at the moment. Hope you all had a good time in spite of all the restrictions . Be nice to hear from some of you , I think it would help cheer me up. The trouble is as well as being below par myself, DH is not feeling too good either and is constantly moaning. Giving me a daily itemised list and running commentary, of everything he has wrong, which I could do without (I know that sounds unkind, but I have my own, I am trying to deal with, whilst also endeavouring to keep the home running) and constantly asking me questions- repeats - which is not good for me with my brain fog. I keep thinking things will be better when we can get out, but as he can't walk very well either it will have to be trips in a taxi. His other moan is he hasn't had his vaccination yet. He is 82 next week and two neighbours of similar age, on our road have already had it. So he is not a happy chappy about that. I should think he will be hearing this week. I sincerely hope so. Sorry about the rant again. I just needed to let off steam, but would love to hear some funny/happy anecdotes if anyone has any!I trust you are all following the guidelines; staying safe and distancing, we are apparently getting more revised Tiers advice this morning. I think I will feel better when we can eventually meet with family again. We did see them on the driveway before Christmas, to exchange cards and gifts, but it isn't the same as having a family 'get together' indoors. TAke care. xx

Hi ShelWhittThese weird times are hard on all of us.
Never feel guilty about needing to rant. We all need to and this is a safe place for you to do it.
This may raise a smile - before we were moved to Tier 4 I took my 2 year old grandson to the garden centre. I picked something up off the shelf and grandson quick as a flash said “now grandma don’t touch and put it back where you found it”😂🤣😂 obviously he has been told that several times. He also didn’t like the fact that I had put my glasses on my nose as he said “grandma put back on head” he dislikes me reading as I’m not then paying attention to him. Quite a bossy 2 yr old🙄 but he makes me smile
Make the most of it. It is a lovely age. They grow up too soon. We have a grandson 26 and a granddaughter soon to be 15. Can't believe how quickly the years have gone. One of my regrets it that I wasn't able to do as much with them when they were small as I would have liked, but nevertheless have some great memories. Nobody can take those away.Thanks for the smile. Stay safe.
HiIf you feel the need to rant then this forum is the place for you!! PM me anytime
Love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️ 💜❤️💜
Hi Shel it's nice to see you sorry to hear youre in a bad flare and hope things settle down.. you must have the patience of a saint listening to your selfish other half babble on I am not so tolerant. When my late hubby was sick he was still so thoughtful and kind he used to massage gel into my sore shoulders. He would make me lie on the bed for a nap in the afternoon with him I was so lucky. Anyway according to Amy 5 You don't have to worry Nanny when you die you will go straight up to God and you will see Brian and your mum. When I die I will come running straight to you. She makes me laugh such a serious little face and so emphatic. Not that I want to be going anywhere soon I am 66 lol.. I would like to see them grow up first that's all I want Ben is 13 already Alice has just turned 7...Amy herself will be 6 in March and their little brother will be 4 in May. They also have a golden labrador called Stanley who is a few months old hes a character too who chases my slippers to get the bows off when I am there. I am blessed to have them.
We have just moved into tier 4 but as I live on my own and am considered vulnerable I am in a bubble with my daughter her hubby and the fab 4 as I call the children i was there Christmas day which was lovely. Anyway take care and stay safe Shel. Gentle hugs xxx
Hi Mistyang. You sound to have a lovely family and have been fortunate to have managed to see them over Christmas. We have been isolating since last March. DH is 82 next week and is desperately waiting for his phone call for vaccination. You make a mistake. I really am not that tolerant as my DH would testify. Even though I do try to be it is not easy. I think a better term to describe my DH is thoughtless. Not making excuses for him, he does help, but because of his problems he is limited. He prepares all veg for meals, washes all pots, helps put washing on the line and bringing in. Makes cups of tea gets is own breakfast. He does ask if there is anything he can do to help but because of his dementia, COPD and poor mobility he is limited. My grandson is 26, a strapping 6ft 4" . He graduated from Liverpool Uni in 2019 and we are very proud of him. My granddaughter is almost 15 and she too is a darling, but we haven't seen much of them or their parents over last year, only occasional visits in the garden in the summer or on the doorstep fleetingly more recently. Make the most of your grandchildren, they do grow up so quickly. We made the decision not to go to my eldest daughters for Christmas day as we have stuck it out this long, don't want to mess things up now. They already have her mother in law in their bubble. You too stay safe and it was nice to hear from you.xx
Hi Shel sorry if I misread it. Got it wrong. Glad he helps doing things at home. I hope he will get his vaccine soon as he is vulnerable and in his 80s hope it won't be long. Wow 6ft 4 sounds like a great lad and so well done for getting his degree I would be proud too. Ben 13 is already tall much taller than me. I have not seen them since xmas day but as I am in a bubble with them.hope to next week. My daughter only has me in their bubble for 4 months March to July I was in lockdown alone my anxiety was awfulI saw son in law in the garden if he dropped supplies off. I missed the children like crazy . Hopefully the vaccine will start to work when it gets administered. Take care xx
I think we are are hoping for better days ahead. It really has been a long year. We might feel better when the nights draw out and we have a bit more sunshine.
Morning All BBrrrrrr it is so cold this morning I dont know who is up, or still up but I have read some
GOOD MORNING ( Excitment for the Chorleys )
