Omg that’s brill re house... have u seen anywhere u like. Is that U on yr own now or is your son still with you. It’s a bit of an adjustment when they move out but....we do get used it ;-) 

Im glad yr sons thumb is back to normal bless him ( we never get t stop worrying about them do we ) . X

Son will be moving with me. He isn’t quite able to go solo financially just yet. Saw one yesterday, we rang for a viewing but it’s stc. Going to look at one on Wednesday

Eek the excitement. Stressful but get look around people’s houses nd judge ha ha ;-) 

oh dear put money on it u will have paint brush in hand before long lol.

both of mine moved back with me to save for their own home..... with deposits t buy nd even rental deposits  being so high so many people’s children need to do this. 

Both mine saved to buy but only cos when they looked into rental a mortgage monthly payment was so much less!

council housing is best for rental but it is sooo hard to get one.... my youngest put her names down when she was 18 -10 yrs later still no joy .... it’s so hard for the younger generation. 

Eeek let me know how it goes nd what it’s like after u view :-) x

Hi Sandra and all

My daughter moved out three years ago. We helped her with her deposit and she payed us back. She loves having her own house. Son and heir (aged 38) still lives at home. Pays us rent towards food, energy etc and says why pay twice as much to buy his own when he can stay with us. He does our cooking each day so why should I complain?  We call him our carer. Lol. When daughter moved out we converted her room to a sitting room for him so he’s well happy.

Good .... all Christmas shopping done, wrapped and cards written and sent. Christmas food apart from fresh all stashed away. . Son booked tickets for us to listen and see Brian Cox. Eclectic...The Nutcracker with daughter and The Nutcase with son...about right.:-)

Bad... Daughter was forced into taking redundancy so no job after 21 December. :-(.   Hopefully new job for the new year.

Hope everyone can find something good in their day.

Yup totally agree  he’s a keeper...mine were girls nd did nothing when they lived with me lol. Lovely fun filled time ahead...we tried for tickets for Brian cox when he was up our way nd they were pretty much sold out straight away - would have loved it. I have had the surreal experience of having a barbecue at my house with not 2 not 3 but 4 astrophysicists eating my burgers lol. Kinda like if u know 1 (daughters friend) u know em all lol. I’m on a promise of a phone call t run for the hills if needed heh heh.

my day got way better daughter rang t say in line for play nd one of the lasses said her husband was at work nd I could have her ticket so.... been nd seen...feel much better now x

I’ve been absent for a while and see there’s a couple of new ladies on the thread. Welcome [@Dragonfly46]‍  and [@Lorna87]‍ So sorry to hear of your diagnoses. You’re in the right place for support. I felt so incredibly anxious in those initial days after diagnosis. All I can say is my mental state improved massively once the treatment got underway. I don’t have many sleepless nights now...unless I’m on steroids anyway!

The good: chemo no 3 today so that’s 3/6 done. I feel a song coming on. Woah, we’re halfway there...woah livin’ on a prayer! Insert air guitar...

The bad: nowt

Hiya, 

I've been reading through some of your posts and you sound very similar to me in terms of how you think about things. There was one in particular that made laugh out where you are saying what people should and shouldn't say or something to that effect...so true. I really need to read posts like yours at the moment - Thankyou.

I hope your chemotherapy is treating you as well as is physically possible xx

Eee lass half way through chemo... with *** too ... u rock :-)
