It is a tribute to you Ann that your ex DIL is inviting you round.

Ķnow the feeling. We are going through troubled times at the moment as many of you on here are.
I know it will pass, I just wish it would speed up a bit!
Best wishes to those of you who are in the same situation, or worse. Here's to a better New Year. ???

Annsixty, and others who are sad - it's not the best time of the year, but we're all supposed to be full of joy and seasonal spirit.
I've been feeling a bit low, but no real reason, TG.
As Cherrytree wrote - if winter comes can spring be far behind? Or something like that.

You'll cope granny23, you're a woman as all the strong women on gn testify! But also - enjoy! brew

DH has been up and down all night in a tizzwaz and is currently checking the car AGAIN in his PJs, Family + Guest due in half an hour, and me with the worst bleeding nose cold ever. Cope! Cope! Cope!

Enjoy your bubbly and bagels annsixty. As if life isn't hard enough for you this knee business is so tiring too. You are an inspiration and don't think you're not!!

PRINTMISS Sun 25-Dec-16 09:23:05

I don't think you have been a misery at all, Ann life is hard, it is good to be able to put something down on paper and post it to people who will read it and feel for you. Words are not enough, but hopefully those on here will help flowers - you must be able to open a florists now (sorry if that sounds flippant, it is just me!)

Ps We are being picked up at 10 to go to our exDiL for a glass of something sparkling and bagels?

annsixty Sun 25-Dec-16 09:16:34

Thank you all so much.
I have been a misery and I apologise for it, my knee op took more out of me than I realised and I am feeling my age☹️
My S has serious problems with his bi-polar "partner " so he not only can't support me but I have his worries and problems as well, but with patience and time it will all get sorted.
Love and hugs to all and enjoy, enjoy your day.

(((hugs))) and lots of love to everyone walking through the Vale. You are not on your own - please lean on us if you need to!

Charleygirl Sun 25-Dec-16 08:33:08

ann can your family not do more to help or do they not understand what you have to put up with on a daily basis? Hugs from me also.

grannyactivist Sun 25-Dec-16 01:48:27

annsixty - sending you heartfelt (((hugs))) from another who is walking in the valley just now. flowers

Marelli Sat 24-Dec-16 23:21:30

annsixty, I hope you're Ok? Sad feelings are so much sadder just now. I hope that whatever is happening today, that tomorrow is brighter for you. x

Anya Sat 24-Dec-16 23:16:29

After 8 years I'm able to enjoy Christmas again. The Vale has been dark and the journey steep and long and I've not forgotten but I'm getting there.

(((((hugs)))) to all still there.

It is a bitter sweet time for so many.
I wish you well Ann

Spring time will come and life will hopefully feel a bit better.

Hang on in there. brew cupcake

I have long been familiar with the expression that " Life is a vale of tears". Reading posts, including my own, I am convinced that it is very true. I send heartfelt good wishes to all who are passing through this vale and hope we all soon pass through it.
