Trixiepup, it must be something in the air...I've just had 2 bad days in a row and I thought I'd put them behind me...guess I was just getting too complacent. Back on track so far today and I aim to stay that way. I haven't been here as much as usual so I miss the support I get from you all.

Hi Girls,

Have not been doing too good the last couple of days, its my birthday in 2 days time and it brings to mind that none of my family care about me as I never see or hear from them. Not knoowing where any of my family are I feel like I have no roots and belong nowhere. I do try to keep cheerful but just times like these I feel so sad. I am having another massage on the morning of my birthday so may feel better after it. the last one left me feeling very dizzy and had to spend Friday in bed. I have bought myself a leather rocking chair for my biirthday and its very nice and soft for my sore bones. Not doing at all well with my diet or should say lack of it still try and get back on track.

Vivienne, HAPPY BIRTHDAY...may the coming year be better for you healthwise. I, too, have no close family. My parents and grandparents died when I was in my 20's, I have no children so it's me and my husband who is also an only child with few cousins. I know it does hurt at times, especially birthdays and holidays. I love my rocking chair. I sit and read and rock in the evening. I don't watch much tv anymore.

Thank you Quilter for birthday wishes. I had four children but they are too busy trying to get on to bother anymore about me. I was told quite bluntly not to waste any time or money on Christmas cards etc as they dont read them. I am not going to anymore either they never ever get in touch with me. Dont know what I will do tomorrow but will think of something so wont be on my own. Did not lose any weight this month stayed the same not pleased with myself at all.

I hope you had an enjoyable birthday, Vivienne. When I here things like you wrote, it makes me glad I don't have children. People have said to me "Who's going to take care of you when you get old?" Well, you can't always count on your children to do it so I don't see it makes a whole lot of difference on that score.

Tomorrow is my 10th anniversary at work and they are taking me to lunch so I've been "saving" all week because the restaurant we are going to is really nice and I want to not worry about what I am eating. I don't splurge for months on end so I think it's okay for something special.

Hi Girls,

Thank yes I had a good day very quiet but went out and bought myself a lovely lilac brodery anglay dont know the spelling sorry night dress which is very pretty and cheered me up as it is big sized, pretty ones usually very small and bell tents are for sale for the likes of me. Then I found a nice thick blue knitted carigan with two pockets on, when you cant carry things pockets are so usuful arent they. I bought myself a cream cake for a treat so they day went well even if I was on my own. It was a lovely sunny day too and the sunset over the sea was wonderful. I watch it go down every evening as I sit here typing away. Thats why there are so many typing mistakes.
love to all,
Vivienne

happy belated birthday tiz!

your kids sound like brats to me. it's better that you save the money you would spend on cards for them and spend it on yoursefl instead!

if you want some appreciative young people around, you could always work with a mentoring program through a school or nonprofit. many kids without good role models would benefit from knowing a wonderful person like you.

take care.

Hello Trixie, Tizme2000 and Quilter I hope you had a great B-day Viv. The rocker sounds nice. Quilter I hope you enjoyed your outing with co-workers. I've been doing fine. I have slacked off on exercise, to 3 times this week. I had a miscarriage at 4 wks. and that slowed me down, but I'm back in the groove of things. I'm down 2 pounds, 178 lbs. now. Wishing all of you a great day and good health. Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Sorry yo hear of your miscarriage and it would slow you down. Yes I agree my kids have grown up into terrible adults and I worry for my grand children being like them, then I think they are old enough to make their own minds up and they dont get in touch so I guess its more of the same. They will need me before I will need them thats for sure. The only time they ever get in touch is when they want my money.
