The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!FOR MAY

I'm going to be ok, just nice to know I have you wonderful folks I can confide in. I always rang my sis on a sunday eve, and just miss her at the mo. her funeral is on friday 11, and like everybody who loses a loved one, it will take time. Fortunately do not even feel like drinking at the moment. I feel she must have had a word with god, as she knew I had al probs, since she died I have had no cravings.Sunshine, thank you x

It is 6.30am, I have not slept well. I am missing my sister so much, the little everyday things. I am going away today until next sunday, so will not be in touch. Thank you so much Sunshine, for being a tower of strenghth. Recently there has been controversy on this site from people over petty things, but I have had such support, from sun, Nora and Ruby and many others, the negative comments are so insignificant. I do miss Ruby, and hope she will soon be back. God bless you all.

Paula, big hugs being sent your way. I wish there was something I could say to you to bring you some peace. You'll be in my thoughts over the coming days.

Thanks for your warm welcome back and comments on my borrowed jewelry. I'm going to have to see a jeweller about the earings as they're a bit heavy for my lobes and sit at a funny angle. I need more oomph in my lobes....any suggestions? Collagen implants or injections maybe?

Right...now for another of the events that took place while I couldn't get online and have a good whinge.

Tuesday 17th April Ashe receives a phonecall from Brett's SIL and is told Brett (my ex, the outlaw bikie) owes the Rebels $2 000 for bad drug debts and if he doesn't pay up in 24 hours he's getting kneecapped. They beat him up the week before and cracked his skull. Ashe sat up all night trying to find the money...Brooke gave her $1 600 and Chris had to give her $400 out of his pay. Leaving them broke for a fortnight.
Next day Brett comes here and collects the money and goes back down south and gives it to the club President. Fortunately Brett had his SIL with him because the President said Brett hadn't paid him. Brett calls another Rebel to come and get his Harley and his patch as he's quitting the club. He's now a marked man.

At the same time Brett's wife, Loretta, tells him their marriage is over. He's crushed and useless, so Ashe borrows my car and drives down to pick him up and (get this) bring him back here. His brother gets him a job in Port Hedland (Google West Aus map for distances between Bunbury and Port Hedland) and is going to pick Brett up here and take him there. (Bruce drives that route as a truckie). Now, here's one for the books...two days later Brett and Ashe arrive here but he doesn't want to see me as he's too upset. So I have to stay in my room for 24 hours until Bruce comes. Brett's in a better mood now because just before he left he saw Loretta and it's back on again...I don't know about whether he's back in the club or not....

Finally Brett leaves and I'm allowed out of my room....things start to get back to normal (whatever that is). A week later Bruce drove Brett back down south because his job didn't start for another week.

Now before you start to become indignant on my behalf, I was glad I was confined to quarters. I had a sick little bird to look after (that story later) and I wasn't at all well myself. And, joy of joys, Brett and his chaotic life are not my problem. :cheering::cheering::cheering:

I'm going to borrow "Co-dependant No More" from the library and make Ashe read it. Admittedly, he has to dig himself out of most of his disasters, but this was a 'biggie' and both Brooke and Ashe wanted to help him. I was disgusted that he visited this whole business on Ashe in the first place. What a thing for a parent to do to his child!!!!!

Anyway, that's where that event stands at the moment. Oh, of course you know that while Ashe and my car were down south, Chris took a day off work to look after the kids because I was sick and the next day I had the 3 of them by myself. I did 6 loads of washing (wash, hang out, bring in, fold, put away), did 2 dishwasher loads and some hand washes, vacuumed, washed the floors, cooked a meal for everyone, fed and bathed the kids and was settling them down when Chris arrived back from work. The house was perfect (apart from the drawing about 3' square that Harlan did with a green permanent marker on my buff wall, but that wasn't done during this period. I'll take a pic and post it for you later).
My car now stinks of cigarettes (bad form) and Chris has lost his job because he missed too many days...he missed the following Friday because he didn't have enough money for fuel to get to work...

Good thing I have a sense of humour.

Anyway, love and hugs for all. I love you guys to bits.
