Re: August Army Manoevres

Nothing to report, eldest back in school, younger ones preparing their pencil cases (the girls actually spend hours doing this, the boy shoves a biro in his pocket).
.

OH I used to LOVE getting my pencil case ready.
I particularly remember exam time and having everything just right ......
Must be a control thing for us females - a place for everything and everything in it's place ?

Re: August Army Manoevres

Productive day at the hospital. Histology showed all of the tumour was removed successfully on the last operation. Because it was such an aggressive tumour the risk of recurrence is a possibility therefore he will have a 6 week course of Chemotherapy.
We went straight from the hospital to see our children and the Norwegian daughter is arriving on Thursday evening. So our 50th Wedding celebrations are going to be fab now.
Very happy thanks for all your warm thoughts and messages. Celebrating with a curry and now back on the Pellegrino!

Ah MrsA:hug: so happy and relieved for you both x Know chemo ain't a walk in the park but nowadays they do seem to have better control of adverse side-effects. Enjoy your celebrations with family you deserve it x

Am getting later by the day at posting. Durty stop out that I am. Wish it were something bad or exciting that was keeping me up! Those were the days!

Satz sorry bout the wrist, bit shite that. You'd better be taking time off work Missus!
Good job on letter. Hope it has given you some sense of relief to have gotten stuff off your chest/outa yer head onto something physical.
My heart still goes out to YS tho to. Can near feel his pain and shame and turmoil. Hope he can dig deep and find the strength and will to battle this bast**d. I have hope he can and will x
When the feck did we get a cat btw? Allergic to them so I'll politely show it the door and direct it to one of the neighbours!

Molls - sorry bout the daughter 'issue'. In a way it's a testament to the fact youse have a good close relationship and she trusts you. Possibly is taking you for granted but would imagine she's not consciously doing so. Know it must be hard for you to challenge or change this for fear of upsetting her.
Don't mean to always refer back to my own Mummy, but it was only after losing her did I appreciate how much she was my go-to for woes and non-woes alike, and how much shite and cheek she put up with. It's a guilt I think I'll carry to the grave.
When I observe the Mother/daughter relationships of some family now, can't help but feel sense of jealousy and also anger at how some cousins totally take their Mums for granted. Could literally shake them and shout, treat that woman, your Mother FFS with great respect and appreciation!

Jacks -sooooo jealous, you've the promise of getting laid soon AND you're getting a skip. No fair. Where could I get one of those dressing gowns? Our Primark was burnt to ground today btw so cannae be there.

Ah Mary- have such fond memories of those back to school days, can still smell the smell of my new pencil case! Loved that and getting nice fresh new uniforms!

Yo Bridgey hope you're doing well? Hiya to Mick and Rustop too.

Dunno whether can be arsed turning off the solas as can hear D'Arsey, he of great wee boaby fame, stirring already in his leaba. May as well turn the kettle on!

Daddy hasn't been so good this week, more confused/muddled, worryingly so, worst I've seen him. big fuck up in some of his meds, partly by him partly by his GPs. Trying to sort this, watch him, talk to them and bloody work 40 miles away in a new job in which I'm trying to learn the ropes. At times feel so close to breakdown....like my head's gonna explode and so alone with it all:sad: That's a very long story short!

Anyways, best go try get some rest,

just so youse know I do appreciate here and youse all very much xx

Nighters/ morning accordingly x

Re: August Army Manoevres

:hug::hug::hug: Sweetpea, you are going through a lot but are not alone, come on here and vent. You might even get the odd bit of sensible advice out of us on occasion. Absolutely delighted for you Anon, go and enjoy the family celebration. You will get through the chemo with him and you are not drinking so it will be easier.

Sorry about the wrist Satz and hope the letter has the desired effect. Most of us here understand what he is going through and you are giving us the perspective of what it is like being on the other side. Girls are very different, Molly and Mary. Happy memories of them going back to school. I go through the same as you Molly, they dump/unload, leave me worrying and they sail off probably feeling much better. Delighted you are getting your skip JC. IÂ’v just had one and am stock piling already for the next one. Know what you are angling for young RC, the cold weather is coming so when you hear about my crocheting you secretly want a Willy warmer :sohappy:. Need to play catch up in the house today and might even spray a few weeds if it stays dry. Walk in the woods first with doggies.

Re: August Army Manoevres

HAHA rusters you got the ' measure' of our Arsey:welldone:

Much as I hated my evil sista's it sort of was a 3 way thing with mum and she was old - :hug: just talk away here - it does help a bit - even being able to give out bout jilly helped - she has her first full day today so holding my breath!!!!
Morning all else - xxxx

Re: August Army Manoevres

Re: August Army Manoevres

.....

I wrote the letter @mollyka ( don't care :haha: )
Seems to have given him food for thought
Very subdued last 2 days as he works through detoxing .....

Good on you. At least you can say you chucked everything at it. Might make you feel better too.

Re: August Army Manoevres

Pee Pie :hug::hug:
As the ladies say vent away. Sometimes the answer to stuff comes to us when we write it down.
Tell Dad he needs to get home help in. Do not take no for an answer.

Get the family together use some of his pension and pay for a nice lady to come in & help him for an hour or two.
He'll soon get used to it. TELL HIM THIS IS FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE UP & DOWN TO HIM & FULL-TIME JOB.
You NEED to look after yourself - you are no use to man or beast if your 'head bursts' ..........:egad:

Seriously though ...... you may be alone geographically but your brothers need to help.

AND :

how much shite and cheek she put up with. It's a guilt I think I'll carry to the grave.

Sorry but .... don't do that Sweetie
.... your Mammy loved you and 'cheek and shite' are par for the course for kids / young adults / old adults . It's a healthy sign and shows they are growing up and getting a mind of their own. She would HATE you to feel guilty - so let that go now !!
All the shite I'm getting these days from YS - but I would hate if he felt guilt for the rest of his life because of it.
'Cos your Mammy's not here I'm stepping in !!!!

Re: August Army Manoevres

Morning,
[MENTION=18312]sweetpea29[/MENTION]...........very, very difficult situation for you, darling, but we're listening and never feel you can't unload.

[MENTION=18049]RunningCourage[/MENTION]..........I sense you're feeling a bit lighter now that you've joined the new forum and talked to your parents.

Jenny rang me yesterday and told me her ex is demanding half of an outstanding electricity bill from the old house........the bill's over £1200......tears aplenty. WTF should she pay half a bill for a house she hasn't been on the lease for over 7 months is beyond me. Its got something to do with estimated bills while she was still there.....in all the snot and tears I found out she gave him the engagement ring back in exchange for Buddy (the dog).........emotional bribery at its finest. She's as nervous and skittish as a roe deer with the Great North Run and starting being a fully fledged teacher next week this doesn't help.

But I've got a skip coming.:welldone:

Most excellent news.

Pellegrino still my favourite.

Re: August Army Manoevres

Roight - off to meet my sister from Glasgow - who flies in for the day to see her Mammy in hospital .......
She too feels some guilt that she's not sharing the load but that's how it goes - geography.

Laters ............ :llama:

Re: August Army Manoevres

Sweet pea , is there any one else that could help? In my experience there is always ''the one kid'' in the family that is the one that has to fix every-fucking-thing. And everybody else just lets them. I know because I'm it. Recently I just started arbitrarily allocating tasks to my brother without even asking because why shouldn't the little bastard help? Is there any one? And I don't care if they live an hour away. Tough titties, they can pitch in.

Re: August Army Manoevres

Tell him to pawn the dumb fucking ring and pay the bill dumb arse.
You don't care because you've ........
