Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Roll on next Friday -when he’s driving you can get your own back. Hope those ratbags stay away tonight.

Thanks, it’s a bit disconcerting seeing the CCTV of them.
I’m only joking about Garry really- I love the bones of him and I’m quite sure that I’m the winner in the annoying stakes.

This is very true.

Evening everyone, Captain Morgan and coke for me tonight. Physio for Mr P today - one crutch outside and none indoors unless he feels he needs it and next Friday he can drive!! It’s just as well really cos if he makes one more remark or gives one more instruction when I’m driving his car the flipping crutch will be wrapped round his neck. Also - and gents you might want to reflect on this - when I’m driving and someone flashes me out does he have to acknowledge/wave to the other driver when I’m quite capable of waving myself .
Anyway last night the family who live across the road from us had 2 guys try to pinch their car. They put tape over their ring doorbell . Thieving scumbags. The police have been out and said they might come back tonight, so that’s me not sleeping.
Have a lovely evening and a glorious weekend ahead.

This! Mr F doesn't even drive and he does it. He also repeats the sat nav instructions to me.

My mother's toenails (big and small toe) look like a dogs dewclaw thanks to wearing heels, according to her. She nearly wet herself when I said this. I thought she'd smack me.

Hello everybody. I hope you have had a good day. I read about that bonfire @Armaghtoffee - it's horrible. @Val P I hope you get some sleep tonight. What an awful experience for your neighbours. @peteblue ,I hope Kay's new hairdresser is a success. Hairdressers actually fill me with dread - being a full on natural curly girl, I have discovered that a lot of them haven't got a clue how to cut curly hair. My last one was brilliant but she quit hairdressing to work on the family farm! This is what happens when you live in rural areas.
Ive been to see Mr F today - he's much better and hoping to be out tomorrow. He is no longer on IV antibiotics andcthe plan seems to be to discharge him and get a district nurse to check on him.
And finally. I'm going back to work on Monday on reduced hours for two weeks. I'm actually looking forward to it.
Night all, sleep well x

Glad he’s on the mend, and that you can get back to normality with work

My mums feet were a bit like that. She used to call them bunions which I always thought was a brilliant name for what were essentially deformed feet.

Jimmy Choo has lots to answer for.

Morning all, well Kay is now fast asleep and hopefully I will be doing similar shortly. I will be doing a beer tasting session in the pub on Monday, where I get the staff to pour and line up a half pint of each and every one of our beers and lagers on the bar for me to do a tasting session. Obviously I don’t drink them fully or I would fall over, but a half pint allows me to smell and taste each one before we pour them away. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it to make sure the quality is first class……

I have never felt lower than tonight. Ever. I suddenly had the realisation that if the same happened to me as happened to my beloved Janet I would lie undiscovered for a week or more, decaying. I have no kids or close family, nobody calls me regularly or comes to the house, the neighbours only see me when I go out and nobody has a spare key. I am in decent health now so it is unlikely, but if it ever became more so, I would not let it get to that.

I opened some beers and watched some TV when the darkness overwhelmed me tonight. Didn't help. I only hope it will numb me enough to sleep, then get to another day, then maybe another. I went for a walk at 5:30 am and thought of the ways I could make it Game Over quickly and painlessly if the urge became too strong. Not really thought of any. Can't think of any easily accessible high enough place to be sure.

I'd probably be too much of a coward anyway, but thinking of the last resort is a comfort to have in reserve even if I never use it. My life as I knew it effectively ended five weeks ago on Monday. At the moment I just exist.

I am sure I am not the first bereaved person to think like this. Not will I be the last. But it all seems utterly pointless now. I just need to talk to her so she can say the right thing to make feel better. I need to go through and find her in bed. But I never will. Never again.

Hopefully tomorrow in the cold light today this will be in the rear view for now. I can only cross my fingers. People DO say it gets easier...

Yes this too. Do men not feel great after a haircut too?

I am not qualified to answer that one .

He has to do something and as he can't do a jig for them I feel a wave is well within his limits. Theives come out and time the arrival of the police so they know what time frame they are working with .We had our house burgled 50 years ago and the police told me when they are in your house they are out again on average in 4 minutes ,they know where we hide things ,the places are bit like passwords !!! About wrapping the clutch ,I would suggest working out who will pay the bill first

That made me laugh ,I have found that I copy accents on tv shows and I am sure the wife has had her fill so I have to offer some self control if I can .

Oh Steve ,you are the threshold of the next step ,your situation is terrible but as you say you will get through it slowly .The hard part for sure is the not knowing how Janet was going to tell you but in some ways you have answered the question ,she will do it in your sleep or in a quiet moment when you are alone .
Are you not going to the board games ? Before thinking of jumping ,which I think takes more courage than grief ,think of the ones who would find you !
We all have some idea what you are suffering and are here to help ,soon you will have the team games to look forward to and other things will start to be a relief from the mind bending thoughts ,what did you do in your spare time before five weeks ago ? Stay strong that man .

I can only speak from the experience of others - my Mum and my friend who were both widowed young. You learn to live with your new situation and will laugh again. As to the other way @blue1948 is right, think of the others who will find you. My brother a train driver had someone walk calmly down an embankment and stand on the line in front of his train. I have often hit what I thought to be rock bottom but I cannot begin to understand how desperate someone must be to do that but the effect on my brother, his mate and those on the train was immense.. It’s early days yet…you can and will feel better.
