Help calm me. house buying and selling stress. Part 5

So sorry to interrupt all the birthday wishes! Just wondering if @whiff is around?

very happy birthday Franbern

I have been non-stop making and sewing again, it just happened and I am glad. I have padded my dressform and made my body double. I was absolutely not looking forward to doing it but a step at a time and I did it in just one day

I celebrated by picking my one ripe strawberry, yummy. It is so tempting to not eat properly when I am engrossed but I made myself eat all the veg I normally eat and I had some chocolate

I expect whiff is up to her eyes right now and am hoping that the transformations are going according to plan and that everything is going ok, in more ways than one

Starbright55 I'm here thank you for asking. Had a few rough days. At times my pain goes through the roof and knocks me about. But feeling bit better today. Been going to bed the same time as my 2 year old grandson. Tonight staying up to adult time.

Happy birthday Franbern. That was a lovely thing for your family to put together for you.

Went to the bungalow yesterday. Finally sorted out the problem with the plumbing from the loo. Hole in the drive all filled in. They were tiling the floor and walls when I went. The bedroom plaster has all dried out ready for painting next week.

Another of my shrubs had arrived so my daughter put it in for me assisted by my grandson.

My daughter and son in law are looking at a house on Friday. They are happy here but this has come on the market and they like the look of it. Valuation being done on this house on Wednesday.

Craftyone your cushions sound lovely you can turn your hand to anything.

SueH49 hope all goes well with your operation next week.

Take care everyone.

Happy birthday Franbern!

Whiff , I have no words! So sorry my dear.

Starbright55 thank you for the link. I am broken hearted. It is my daughter in law. After I started to read had to pass it to my daughter. She read it all and laughed about the part were she is described as unemployable. She has a very good degree and in her working life dealt with vast sums of money and large teams of people within universities.

I have never treated her badly nor ever interfered in their lives. Why she says those things about me I don't know. Also it was one squirrel.
Also they are hoping to move house and not tell me where they are going.
I feel so sorry for my grandson's and my new grandson due next month. At least I know there is no point contacting my son.

But how he can let his wife paint me as such a monster I will never know.

I've just popped in with my sad tale but it is trivia compared to your shocking discovery Whiff - I am so very sorry, what an awful thing to see in print. My heart goes out to you, huds xx

whiff, no words

I know I would cut off all contact after that and I include from my will. She does not write or sound like a sane person and is the wedge between. Nasty piece of work

I am just wondering why starbright55, why you didn`t let whiff have the link privately

Thank you Shandy57 and Craftyone. It's ok starbright55 posted on here as I would have told you all anyway. I will not change my user name as it is what my husband used to shout when he came through the door after work. Hello Whiff my reply was hello hubs. My daughter in law and son can carry on spying on me. I am not changing how I do things because they are think it's called trolling me. Not sure of the terminology. Since moving here in August I have only been invited to their house once or twice. Last time I saw my daughter in law was boxing day, my grandson's 14th March and my son 30th April. All at my home.

People who know me personally know full well who I am and what I am like. That is what matters. My brother is going to blow his top when I tell him. What hurts is the underhand way it's been done and that people believe what she says about me. But I have got through worse things and will get past this.

Good whiff always but always stand up to bullies, especially the possesive narcissists who try to split up familes

business as usual now. What are you all doing in your homes today?

I too am so sorry Whiff, but it does serve as a reminder that this site is also on FaceBook and who knows where else, so please please do not put anything on here that will identify where you live, your or your relatives names, or any other too personal details. You don’t have to be a member to read the posts.
So Rise above it! and move on.

Morning all, wet and rainy here again.

Have a good day whatever you are doing

Thinking about sewing again, got the bug back, could be because my sewing room is finished and tidy. The pegboards were the icing. Washing out and in and out again, don`t want to dry in the house, damp is no good in houses

Just to let you know I won't be posting for a while I haven't been scared off but don't want to give my daughter in law and more ammunition against me. I will however be reading what you are up to and sending some private messages if that's ok. So long for now.

I am sorry Whiff, this is such an unexpected shock. I searched the net afterwards thinking I may also be being 'discussed' somewhere. I won't be posting for a while either.

Starbright55, please do remove the post. I also wonder why you displayed it publicly, it is so very personal.

I have just gone back and see the post has gone, thank you.

I asked the mods to delete it. Nasty trolling as in the link has no place on this thread

Take care Whiff, huds to you.

Do you think we should let the whole thread die down for a while? I feel as though personally, I have nothing to add re the moving house scenario. Maybe it is time to give the thread a rest and wait for anyone in process of moving to resurrect it when the time is right

I agree craftyone, sorry to find out Starbright55 was a troll but it makes sense now.

Will pop in now and again to say hello, hopefully I'll have found a nice new place to call 'home'.

Take care and stay safe everyone, lots of love xx

Oh dear that’s such a shame, good luck in your search Shandy
Craftyone I’ve enjoyed your craft room and garden posts.
Whiff so sorry, come back soon, maybe a change of name will help?
Hope to hear from you all soon, possibly on other threads

Well I for one will be very sorry if the thread goes. I am very interested in where Shandy moves to and love hearing from Franbern and everyone else. I suppose I love the idea that you people have the freedom and vision to build such interesting lives and its quite inspiring.
But you must do as you think best.

Please do not shut down this thread, It has been a real lifeline for so many of us. Know that several of us have managed our moves, but even then we have happily been chatting about so many things.

Obviously, anything on social media is there for anyone to see. We should be a little careful about what we say, but let us go on chatting about the sewing, the plants, and the improvements to our homes, and also keep it for those like Sue still trying purchase and for Ellianne, who could well be starting again as her daughter and SiL are selling and buying.

Whiff, obviously, you are upset - do not say or do anything too drastic that you may regret in some future time, try to put aside and concentrate on enjoying your new home and the lovely improvements that are being done and your time with your daugghter and family. Come back, tell us all about your new bathroom, etc.

Shandy, we need to follow you on the final stages of your long and difficult journey to your new home, cannot just leave it as it is.

For all the others, just keep popping in here for our lovely chats.

I am back home now, had a lovely couple of days with daughter and g.daughter, but is so nice to get back to my own home.

I am also having a bad time with my sister in law and her very controlling and cohersive husband. He has prevented her coming to visit me this coming week as we had planned, and she is obviously slipping further and further down into depression and probably alzheimers. Not sure if I will, now EVER be able to meet up with her again. Not upset on my own behalf, I have lots of other things planned for this week, but very upset on her behalf and also her daughter who is worried sick and was really hoping that a few days with me would help her mother.

Oh well, so many plans this year have gone this is just another one.

Do let us continue on here, Craftyone - think a 6th one will need to get going very soon.

Oh Franbern, I am not shutting the thread down but obviously some people need a break away, even if it is just for a short time, please continue if you like to, someone will always join you. I know it has been and still is, a lifeline during this horrible lonely time. I will always be here for you, just call out my name
