Oh Jules forgive my post on my site to you .....I am so sorry not to have known of your hubbies departure. You know from the support you have given me how well I understand your current situation and my heart goes out to you. My site tells of my joirney through this uncharted place you find yourself in. It is difficult but you will come through.
Just lovely to see your name appear on my thread and suspect its just as hard for you to post but I really appreciate the message. It was a long three years for hubby and I take much comfort in the fact that he is now free from the clutches of his disease which took his happiness away. I am surrounded by the love of my family and friends (and the ongoing support of virtuality buddies) and now, like you, my life must be lived to the best of my ability. Early days still but so many memories to cherish and share with others - a few late nights of 'story-telling' along the way.
Sending hugs and best wishes and hope all is well with you and Julie in your new life. Jules x
Good morning Jules,
Have to say, that your talk of a new washer/dryer, also got another of your forum buddies quite excited too! ;) Ashamed to say, I've had a lie in this morning (used to be an early riser like you) but just lately, I seem to keep waking up in the night and then dozing back off only to find it's gone 9 when I finally awake! Good job I'm not back at work or I'd be sitting outside the Head teacher's office for bad time keeping! :)
I hope you get your new wall sorted soon - it's often getting quotes that proves to be the longest part of the process! Your son-in-law sounds a treasure. I hope you have a peaceful and restful weekend in readiness for all things you have to do next week. - still holding you in my thoughts, Jules, as you take each new step. Take care lovely forum friend, much love, Jo xxx
I expect you have been or are going for your usual Sunday morning walk and allthough it's a bit cold, Its quite a nice morning for a walk otherwise. Took Mrs B out for a ride yesterday but I had a couple of lights come on my dashboard so had to cut it short. Electrics are playing up so if the fault doesnt clear up will have to get it checked out.
Bet you will be glad to get your new WASHER. Our old one used to sound like it was going to blow up the last time Mrs B used it as the bearing had gone. I have another cancer meeting tommorow afternoon so hope it will be okay.
Hi Jules, I will be very interested as to how you find the new drier works. I found they ruined knicker elastic and have chosen not to use mine for many years. Whatever did they call the thing we used to have in kitchens , big pole, raised by pulley system? Kathy xx
Just saw your post to Jules and read your comments about knicker elastic. You said you didnt use yours anymore but didnt say wither you ment knickers or the drier. Sorry Kathy
I have finishes all my nuts and Mrs B has told me, If I send for some flowers for her for Valentines day, she might make me some more cheese straws. I am convinced you ladies take a course on pyscology for you always seem to find a way to wrap us men around your fingers so to speak. I told Mrs B it was blackmail :devil:and all she did was to laugh. So I have had to give in yet again Kathy. Us men can never win. :cry:
No Brian, you naughty boy I don't use the drier as such, plus as its on the wall being a shortass I can't reach it. Talking about knickers my girls friends refer to g strings as dental floss for the ***. So needless to say we don't support them or they wouldn't support us as the case. How does Mrs B handle you? Don't answer that, best wishes. Kathy x
Hope you have/are having a good weekend. Make the most of the lie-ins (my body clock just seems to refuse to recognise I am on leave!!). Bright and frosty start this morning but gloomy now. Happily the builder is known to son in law so will fit it in as soon as he can (its nothing fancy; just fed up of looking over a broken fence into the service road behind (hardly secure either!!)). Quite a few 'bits' to sort out in the home regard(bless him hubby hated 'outsiders' doing stuff he felt he should be doing them) but will get there eventually (am looking at it like a long term project and that each time a job is done I can cll it a mini achievement).
Hope you managing okay and bet Paddy enjoying your company for walkies. Take care and your kind words are much appreciated. Be good to yourself. Hugs Jules x
Was a little late going out today but made it into town for a wander and picked up a few new bits for the garden birds (I also got an 'insect hotel' for Christmas so have now put that up too). Have purple crocus and snowdrops in the front garden.
Hope your next cancer meeting goes as well as the others - it certainly keeps you on your toes and they must really welcome the input. Will keep my fingers crossed that your 'wheels' are not too poorly, always a worry when you are dependent on them.
After over a year of taking washing to launderette I am sure new machine will be a great novelty ha ha.Have never had one with a dryer before but followed son's recommendation as they have been delighted with theres. Will only use the dryer when weather bad as I love to have the washing outside whenever possible.
Well just waiting for a neighbour to pop by regarding hubby's car and then will get down to preparing tonight's dinner. Take care and all the best to you and MrsB (hope she gets flowers and you get nuts)
