Puppies aaaaahhhhhhhh.
Getting withdrawal symptons. The Buns have been at the centre now for 3 nights. Am dying for news but don't want to be a nuisance.
TG good luck for the exam my fingers are crossed.
Emotions still all over the place but this time a little proud of myself. Had another double glazing salesman in. I think I handled it well. Made it clear from the start that one of his competitors was out of the running because of the hard sell tactics. So when the heavy pressure to sign, started at the end of the evening I stood my ground, said I was not making a descision until Saturday and he respected that. Well eventually.
I hope the next bit comes out the way I mean it but if it doesn't please no one take offense. When Mum fell ill she was at stage 4 ovarian cancer, so it was always going to be terminal. I went to some berevement counselling relating to cancer while she was still alive. (obviously didn't tell her). It made it easier for me to deal with her passing but the main benefit was that until the last month or so whenever I opened my mouth in her company the right thing came out. Which if you knew our relationship was a novelty. I had been given an insight into how she might see things... from her point of view I got it.... It was about her not me. I had enough knowledge to let her be herself.
I know a number of people are struggling with sick parents and wanted to share what was a great comfort to me. Actually it still is.
I also put on a couple of stone comfort eating and was only sober when I was at work or around Mum, but I don't recommend that as a course of action.
Hope everyone has a good day.
