Master 7 has been hounding me to put up the Christmas decorations so this afternoon it is. Christmas is about to vomit all over my house ๐
I'm a bit bah humbug this year. Mr. Potter says he loves Christmas and I'm trying to keep the excitement of it alive for Master 7.
This boyfriend thing is taking some getting used to. Some days I'm happy as a pig in mud and other days I'm just overwhelmed. I think it has moved too fast.
.
Jacks I think that is totally normal to feel a bit humbug about the first Christmas without your mum.
and confusing with finding happiness with mr potter and wanting to enjoy this time together. It's great that your partner is going to effort for your son at Christmas, he does sound like a pretty great guy!

Hi Kylie :-x
Jacks :-x I'm also a little bah humbug about Xmas. I just keep reminding myself it's just one day. Except I'll have to battle the crowds to buy Xmas presents for that one day *sigh*.
Yes Jacks, it's nice to share. But you also need time to spend by yourself for yourself too.

Thanks Kylie I am on my own today as OH works in the office on Mondays and Fridays but the rest of the time he is around to fetch and carry so no problem there, I also have my lovely Shakey curled up against me, which is nice it is just such a shame it is stinking hot and he is making me itch
Jacks I am glad things are going so well for you and mr Potter. Enjoy your Christmas as I know your mum would not want you to be sad on her account.
On the 28th November 2003 I lost my darling Dad and less than a year later on the 8th November 2004 I lost my brother it was a terrible time for the family but we all decided that both those Christmas days would be a day of celebration and fun it was hard but we did have a lot of fun we got all the photos out and had a good giggle at the memories they bought back.
I have Christmas baubles I got from Meyer's the ones you can get personalsed I have a red one with Dad in loving memory 2003 and a blue one for my brother which says Tony in loving memory 2004. Every year I put them on the front of the Christmas tree so they have pride of place and can be clearly seen.
hugs to all

What a fantastic idea Main....I should get a bauble for mum. I just placed tinsel around her photo and it bought a lot of emotion. The bauble idea sounds great.

Hi everyone,
Sorry I don't post anymore, but I am always here reading. When I do have something to contribute my son has usually used up all the internet and dial up is so slow that often there isn't enough grunt to get the pages to even load, so I just don't bother.
Hi Amy and welcome,, I missed your original post so don't know the whole story, but you're amongst friends here, so feel free to vent away as you wish.
Freddie I'm so happy your hubby is travelling so well. As a nurse myself I'm interested in all the details of his journey.
kylie, your story is so similar to what one of my work colleagues is currently going through. It's been hard to watch her suffer and sometimes I see the looks on her face and it makes me want to cry becasue I can just imagine the pain she is going through having been there myself.
Jacks woo hoo ๐
cat, my my you have come such a long way. Remember when I wrote to you and said one day you'll be able to look at others and their pain will be so real to you you can almost feel it? Having watched your journey, and I'm not saying its over, but I can see you've come such a long way and I love how you are now stretching out your hand to help others who are floundering around there at the bottom of the barrel.
I'm so proud of you all. If this post gets lost in cyber space when I hit send I'll spew.
love and Christmas wished to you all. cyn X

:^O Cynth don't spew! Your post is here :-x
I remember exactly what you said to me. Your faith in me, to one day be able to reach out to others, was a very important part of my journey. It helped to keep me intact.
This thread is a wonderful place. It's an honour to be a part of it, to watch people grow into their wisdom and happiness.
Gotta run, friend dropping in for coffee before I start work.
Higs and hugs and \0/ to everyone! :-x

Hi Cynth, lovely to see you posting. When I get back home I will write a short history of what happened with Mr Freddie.
Ummm guess what - there has been home talk ๐ Maybe Monday or Tues, radiation to possibly start late January, as we hear more I will let you all know.
Huggles waves and higs to all โฅ

Wow Freddie, that is super quick if they allow MrFreddie home early next week. He must be doing really well.
It will be nice for both of you to be in your own surroundings.
Hi there Cyn ~~~~ It is nice to see you again. If ever you 'feel' that you may lose your post, copy it first and then when you press post if it does fo haywire or you lose it, you will still have it. If that makes any sense ๐
I hope my new avatar is showing. :-x
Jacks, I didn't answer your question the other day about Damien co-hosting The Morning Show.
I thought he looked nervous which was strange because he has co-hosted it before plus he has hosted 2 TV shows. Saving Kids and last year New Idea Test Kitchen. Maybe he was overawed by Kylie Gillies. ๐ He was better later on but initially that was my impression.
Nice to hear that things are going well in the Cat household.
Higs and hugs to everyone, It is very hot here today. B-)
