Friends that depress you!

I live in splendid isolation most of the time and it doesn't bother me - but I have found myself chatting quite a lot to Juragran's dog and cat, whilst I am house sitting for her!

Exactly jeni It's never going to sympathise with your problems.

greatnando they give you sensible answers?

Gatsby looks sympathetic and Pudding looks bored. Par for the course. Pudding does sleep on my bed though and I love to hear her purring - such a reassuring sound.

That's what's so good about this forum, you can let it all out without getting on anyones nerves.

jeni I talk to myself and answer back when I get out of hand!

jeni; I've often thought about having one of those wooden figures that you see in Stately Homes [can't rememeber what they called them; probably 'wooden figures that you see in Statley Homes']. Could have a jolly good converstaion with them I think. Could have a word bubble coming out of it's mouth, the words of which could be changed according to the mood of the day. 'There, there, never mind' or 'ho ho, good joke that'.

I too hope it has gone away but it was unpleasant and I am very thankful for the support shown to me by Ana, Greatnan and Whenim 64

sorry if forgot anyone else who kindly supported me!!

Ella sometimes the best advice comes from talking to yourself!

The hard part is actually taking it!

I would never take advice from someone like me!

I stayed in Apartments Gutenberg some years back-a bit studenty but cheap and clean and well sited off the Ramblas near the port and a stop for the tourist bus .Wouldn't go down the back alley way tho' on my own at night-

Thanks for the suggestion, Stansgran, but a private bathroom is a sine qua non!

crimson I think that they are just called companions.

Thanks crimson- you've really made me laugh today

Me too - thanks, Crimson!

Well! I usually love our digressions, but have read through some of the pages on this thread, and became very confused at one point! I am glad that the original poster is getting the supportive and helpful response she deserves.
I hope it has helped.

Yes, thank you , Ariadne. I have been looking for hotels on line and my friend is also doing some research.

stansgran could you or somebody please tell me the relevance of the Apartments Gutenbergreference? I am feeling I have totally lost the plot or something and it bothers me! If I am merely being obcuse, well, no surprise there

gracesmdont worry your pretty little head dear!
Just go and lie down with an ice pack and a stiff drink!

Actually, it GN wondering what to do with her depressing friend!
