    Glad you got some sun @luvpink

    @Amberpearl try some peppermint drops they hate it. Have you had a look out side to see where they are getting in.

    It's very windy here I'm off to town to meet a sister for coffee

    Hello to everyone, so hope your afternoon goes as well as can be. 😊

    Cold my side 8C, and plenty of rain. At least it has stopped for now, fairly breezy and cloudy.

    Hi all

    I am so exhausted from lack of sleep, I had to come back to rest in my bed for a while.

    I going out for a little stroll later.

    The flipping fire alarm has just gone off here.

    Probably another false alarm.

    Good afternoon everyone. I haven't been on in a while. I got shingles again, on my forehead, eye and the top of my head, along with a water infection and one of the gastric bugs doing the rounds. Ive had the duty nurses coming out doing dressings on the bottom of my leg, it flared up again after tripping over my own feet, while trying to help my 13yr old dog get on the chair next to the window. Both him and the cat love people watching.

    Im sorry to hear that some of you have been feeling down. Life gives us love then it gets taken away. I'm not the best where relationships are concerned. When after a 12yr gap I had my second son. I decided at this time that I no longer, wanted a relationship. Ive found abusive relationships in the past and they have used my mental health against me, even though they were the ones that had made me feel down enough to self harm. I didn't want to have my boys going through any of this. It's been 21yrs now and I don't regret my decision, even though alot of my friends thought it was on a whim.

    Im in more control of my life now and I concentrate on my lads. I had my dog and cat, guinea pigs and a bird. I'm happy not having to worry about relationships.

    @Grumpy1314 you are making positive decisions, I hope you start feeling better soon and you get your dog and parrot, it really helped me and my family. They don't judge, just give back the love you give them.

    I feel so sad. I'm autistic with a progressive neurological condition. I live alone and have no more that about 6 hours of human contact per week. I suppose that gives me more time to ruminate. Anyway, yesterday afternoon I found two Easter cards through my door. They'd been hand delivered. One was from a very elderly person, the other from a woman who I thought of as a genuine friend. A person whose problems I have listened to. A person who has gobbled my biscuits and cake. But she didn't ring the doorbell to hand me the cards and say hello. They were just shoved through the letterbox. I feel so worthless.

    Morning all hope you get better soon @Elvisdog

    Looks ok today @Teigr

    @Zipz sorry you feel upset, it can get difficult, you also have us here

    Morning @Sandy_123 and anyone else I've missed 💛

    Ouch @Elvisdog, sorry to hear you've had Shingles and have dealt with so many other issues recently. Hope you're on the mend and are feeling more comfortable now.

    Sorry you're feeling so down about things @Zipz. I get what you mean about having time to ruminate. I've been through lots of periods of time where I've been at home with not much contact with the outside world and it's not easy to stay postive about things. You're not worthless at all and we're here if you need to vent about things. Perhaps the lady wasn't able to knock when she posted the card, or maybe there's another reason that she couldn't pop by. Hopefully she'll come and see you soon. Or if you feel up to it, maybe you could send her a message? I'd understand if you don't feel like doing that right now.

    Hope you managed to get some rest last night @Grumpy1314

    Hi everyone

    I haven't been on in ages sorry. It's getting close to the wedding and everything was going well until my hen night.

    A friend told me that my fiancé's son who is 37 and married said to her and her husband (who is best man and Mr Marydoll closest friend) asked them what they thought of thr marriage. He said he was shocked and blindsided and didn't understand why we were getting married.

    They said we have been together 7 years and that I looked after his dad when he was seriously ill snd it seemed a logical step.

    I wish she hadn't said anything. I have been so upset as his son was really positive about getting married to us. I had a couple of days of crippling anxiety.

    My partner is meeting his son for lunch right now just to give him a chance to say anything to him. He isn't going to bring it up.

    It's really hard especially as his son wanted to put him in a nursing home when he was ill in hospital but I brought him home and did everything for 2 years to get him well with no help. I don't know what to feel and just wish I didn't know what his son said.

    Welcome all new members to me. This is a great place with good people.

    Same here @Teigr! It's been so cold at night though.

    Hi @Marydoll5, lovely to see you ☺️

    Sorry to hear things have been stressful, that sounds really difficult to deal with. It's so clear to us all how much you care for Mr Marydoll. You've been through a lot together so it's understandable that you're feeling mixed up after hearing that. When it comes down to it, the most important thing will be the two of you and the love you have for each other. Fingers crossed things are smoothed out for the big day. Hope you're doing okay 💛

    Thanks @Rosie_Scope . Hope all is good with you and all the admins.

    I underestimated how stressful planning a wedding is and thought as we are older people wouldn't have demands but boy was I wrong 😊

    @Marydoll5 sorry I missed your comment, that was a bit mean of your friend to say that, but also of your stepson, I hope you can over come it. It only matters what you and your fiancee feel. No one else.

    Well done you for looking after him also. It's nice to see you posting

    She has two hands in full working order. 100% capable of ringing a doorbell.
