Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but dry at present here in Brackley , usual quiet day for me.
Yesterday was even quieter , with Rugby being on TV , town centres of Bicester and Buckingham were empty.
no flea market though despite whether improvements.

Good morning from sunny Tenerife. Thinking of gillybob. Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday x

I wish one of us lot could win the lottery and give a huge sum to gillybob

She has enough on her plate without having to worry about the business and a mortgage.

No wonder you feel overwhelmed gilly

As wise EV says - one day at a time. Deal with each day as it comes and don’t think any further ahead than that.

kittylester had a nice idea - perhaps you could spend an hour or two with Evie and have a cuddle and a cry.

gilly - We all are standing right beside you and we all wish there was something positive we could do to help you through this awful and heartbreaking time. Vent away no matter what, we are listening. Try and keep your strength up you must remember to look after yourself. Sending big hugs to you. flowers

gilly -Apart from Citizens Advice, what about your local Traders Association, local business groups - could they suggest help?

EllanVannin Sun 03-Nov-19 09:36:44

MacMillan nurses ( angels ) can give some helpful advice on all subjects Gilly. There are usually one or two who are based at hospitals and if you can ask to speak to one they will offer all kinds of advice at times like this.

Lisagran Sun 03-Nov-19 09:36:28

Lots of hugs for you Gilly - what an awful time for you. EllanVanin sounds like she’s offering knowledgeable advice - take heed.
NanKate - I too was wondering how and where Gilly could access much needed help. Anyone any ideas?

NannyJan53 Sun 03-Nov-19 09:35:29

I agree with NanKate you need some practical help and advice gilly Citizens Advice would be a start, as I am sure they could advise where to go?

Auntieflo Sun 03-Nov-19 09:31:21

Gilly, I am so sorry to hear your latest sad news, but thank you for finding time to update us.
As Marydoll says, we are all right here beside you, even if you can't see and touch us, our loving thoughts go out to you.

NanKate Sun 03-Nov-19 09:27:12

Gilly I wonder if Citizens Advice could give you some help regarding finance. I think practical help is what you need now. Can anyone else think of some Agency that might advise OUR poor Gillybob ?

Life is bloody unfair at times and Gilly has been hit big time.

Pittcity Sun 03-Nov-19 09:24:25

Gillybob you are loved and supported by all of us here on GN. We are always here for you to unload and wish that we could swoop in and take some of the huge weight that you, and many other gransnetters, are carrying.
(((hugs)))

Good Morning All x
It was lovely here earlier on but now clouding over a bit though the sun is doing its best.

Woke up stiff as a board this morning so I don't know what happened there, old age I suspect ! I used to leap out of bed not so long ago and now it takes a couple of jerks to sit up ready to move.

Least of my worries anyway listening to Gillybob's situation.
Gillybob, don't look too far ahead and cross those bridges when you come to them. xx.

Physio for the myopathy will come later Gilly once your DH comes through this. I've known this to happen after long-term assisted breathing etc. It will be a long journey like re-living all over again. People have been in coma's for a long time and have wakened with their mind " intact " it's just their bodies that have let them down.

Take one day at a time and each day as it comes. You'll come through this somehow. Patients have surprised doctors many a time.
I know only too well that it's difficult not to worry but try and keep yourself together for your own sake as well as for DH and others, overthinking doesn't do anyone any good.

It's in the lap of the Gods . Thoughts are with you. x

Have a peaceful day everyone.

Pantglas2 Sun 03-Nov-19 09:18:33

And grannygravy13 sorry not to have sent good wishes for your grandson- horrible for a baby to be so ill x

kittylester Sun 03-Nov-19 09:15:28

Loving support from so many people here gilly.

I wonder if you would feel able to take half a day off sitting with your husband? Could you let your daughter go while you spend time with Evie? You really need to look after you, too. brew

Marydoll Sun 03-Nov-19 09:13:39

Dear Gilly, I'm so sorry that it has come to this and that you are having to deal with it all on your own. My heart is breaking for you.

You say you have no friends in real life, but hang on to the knowledge that you have all of us, standing right beside you. x

GrannyGravy13 Sun 03-Nov-19 09:09:08

gillybob I am so sorry to hear that you are only continually hearing bad news. I wish there was something I could say or do to make you feel better.
Be gentle with yourself, you can only do what you can do, cry scream and stamp your feet in the privacy of your own home, let it all out. flowers

Urmstongran Sun 03-Nov-19 09:04:05

❤️ gillybob

I honestly can’t think of a single thing to say to you dear friend. Words however well meant just don’t seem adequate so I’m not even going to try. xxxxxxx

gillybob Sun 03-Nov-19 09:02:38

It’s just his way Harri you don’t show your feelings you “calm down” he’s always been like that, nothing new . I just wish he hadn’t come .

gillybob Sun 03-Nov-19 09:00:55

If only pantglas if only . I really Don’t mean to seem pathetic but I have always been the one who looks after everyone else . I have a tiny family . My elderly father , my sister working full time who “has to see to the dog” in the evenings, my DD who has a 18 month old baby and us losing shifts at work because I can’t do the childcare, my son working full time with 3 children and his wife who works shifts and that’s it . I have no friends ( in real life) and my neighbours wouldn’t know if I were alive or dead . So I’m afraid it’s just me . The lads at work have just about reached the end of their capabilities without my DH’s input . Won’t be long before I have to reluctantly admit defeat.

harrigran Sun 03-Nov-19 08:59:11

Dear God that was a hell of a brutal day gilly. What on earth possessed your father to be so insensitive ? He needs a damn good talking to. I am furious for you.
Keep talking on here, you can rant without worrying about who you are upsetting.
Hugs and a shoulder to lean/cry on.

Anniebach Sun 03-Nov-19 08:58:44

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sun 03-Nov-19 08:57:03

Morning all from an overcast South Notts. Hope to go shopping shortly and then a quiet day is planned.

Thinking of you gillybob and grannygravy, my heart goes out to you both and anyone with worries.

Yiayia4 Sun 03-Nov-19 08:54:25

No words will help Gilly just sending a hug xx

Pantglas2 Sun 03-Nov-19 08:54:10

Oh gillybob- words cant come close to expressing my admiration for you (and others feel the same, don’t doubt that).

May you get the strength from somewhere to carry on and do try and lean on the people who offer help in whatever form - I’m sure your employees are able to step up and hope your family, friends and neighbours are coming through for you as well.

Feel free to vent on here whenever it gets too much for you, it’s the safest place to do so!

gillybob Sun 03-Nov-19 08:47:21

So sorry to learn about your poorly baby grandson grannygravy I am so sorry that I missed this, wrapped up in my own selfish misery as I am .

I do hope he is well enough to be discharged soon. So sorry again.

dragonfly46 Sun 03-Nov-19 08:46:55

Oh gilly what can I say? My thoughts and prayers are with you.
