I am just checking in on everyone, seeing how you all are. I haven't been on alot, lurking from time to time, but not often. Anyway, with the holidays fast approaching, I just thought it was time to wish everyone a happy holiday and to let you know that I think about this group often and hope for happier times for all of you. This group helped me and Patrick so much that I can't describe. Anyway, Rockie and I are doing well. My health is getting better, even with all the meds I have to take now, but whatever works, right? Anyway, I will lurk for a while, wishing you all good health and wonderful memories and lots of love Salisha & Rockie salishah@hotmail.com said... > I am just checking in on everyone, seeing how you all are.

I'm still here but mainly lurking these days. Mother seems to be doing OK and is slowly getting back to being able to eat normally although she still has no feeling at all on one side of her face and may indeed never recover that. At the moment I don't have a lot to offer people here other than the occasional hug, and having gone back to college more or less full time life has got just a tad hectic since September.

Hello Em, And there's me thinking you'd gone all quiet cos you were too busy cleaning your house or eating chocolate cake ;-) didn't realise you were recapturing your youth by going back to college ;-) what are you studying? Hope all is going well, you can do it, you're a woman you can multi-task!

Would you believe they're teaching me to use MS Office? It's called 'High Tech Skills' and 'NVQ in Business Administration', but essentially it's MS Office. Yawn.

I have unfortunately spent the last 3 days doing nowt but housework. Me and hubby went to London to see the big lights and wide streets and my mum and in-laws looked after the bairns. Holy Mary, Mother of God I think they handed the kids pots of paint, jam and chocolate spread, stood back and said "Hey - go decorate!" Hubby has gone away for work this week, the cat somehow knows this so brought a LIVE rat into the kitchen on Monday. I bravely swiped both cat and rat with broom until they shot out of door across the field. Cat was obviously v.v. cross and on Tuesday night caught another. But the cunning cat waited until I was asleep..... I awoke to find a beheaded rat (front paws gone too) on my lounge floor this morning. Cat now has v.v. sore arse (sorry Fig I realise this is cat abuse, but I was provoked) So anyway that is my life this week......

My Meg has brought in many wildlife but I don't think a rat has been amongst her "presents", I think I would have gone a bit wobbly on that one. Hmmm as for the parents allowing your children to trash your house, do you think that was revenge for your childhood ;-) Hugs Sinead Alayne Sinead@invalid.anon said... > My God! You two birdies are furthering your education? Hell - good for you > both. I've been in education one way or another for years. Having been terminally bored at school I went to university in my 20s and scraped through a degree in theology (don't ask). I then did a couple of sports coaching qualifications, and a few years later started learning Welsh and maths. I've had to drop the Welsh now due to a timetable clash, but the maths forms the only part of the course I'm currently doing that I really want to do. Pity it's only two separate hours each week... the rest of the time the main emphasis is on being able to use b****y Mickeysnot Worm 2000 and finding my way (*spit*) around Windows. They can't even be bothered to teach me to use a decent OS unless I go further afield, and then I'd never be able to get back in time to pick the children up from school :-( > Em - I was under the apprehension that you were avoiding the housework, this > is one of your better schemes I take it?

Holy Mary, Mother of God I think they > handed the kids pots of paint, jam and chocolate spread, stood back and said > "Hey - go decorate!" My mother looked after my brood recently while I was away. Apparently she never stopped nagging them the whole time she was here, and even told my teenage daughter to tidy her room. That's something I've never done - it's /her/ room and she keeps it how she damn' well pleases.

So far I've only encountered one thing I hadn't done before - running a virtual company selling beauty products. Maybe you don't realise this, but I rarely, if ever wear face paint, because I can't stand the stuff. You can imagine just how much I enjoy telling people how wonderful lipstick is when I actually think it's one of the worst things invented... :-( > Actually moi aussi, > work is trying to get me to do the ECDL (Eurpoean Computer Driving Licence), > shucks I only use one every day..... I would have done that, but it would have cost me over £200 whereas the course I'm doing is funded by the Assembly.

It's a strange sort of party, with people whom you know you're not going to have around for long and people who are going through the worst times - but it's sort of addictive. My mother's fine at the moment so I don't need to be here, but I stayed because I wanted to keep up to date with Socks - and then I found I still stayed because there are others here I want to know about and see how they're getting on...

We've had the gritters out over a week now, but the slush seems to have frozen under the fresh (and now compacted) snow, so even the main roads are slippery.

Strange how that happens, isn't it. But don't worry: bananas, carrots, apples, cherries - they're all fruit or veg. Chocolate contains milk (protein and calcium). All my cakes have eggs in (protein). The alchol gets burned off in the cooking, leaving just the grape (more fruit). See? You've already had your five portions of fruit today!
