Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good morning all on this hazy day here in FInland .I hope all are well and had a fine night's sleep . I managed another chat to my eldest son yesterday that was fomented by him , it ended well so I am on the up today .
We shopped yesterday and bought kidneys they were under 3€ per kilo ,I know some cannot eat them but that will be under 1€ each for a meal plus spuds etc under 2€ total per plate , they also had bananas at less than 1€ /kilo .It feels like the prices are going down a bit here .
Have a great day all .COYB
Great news mate. About Matt I mean.

Stocks running down on my Harry
Ramsden fish goujons so popped into Iceland before coming home yesterday. A pack had gone up to £5.25. I'm sure they were only £4 when I last bought some in January.
 
Thanks for all the nice remarks as it is a terrible situation he is in .He told me that he doesn't want to meet people ,for someone who talks ( too much ) to anyone it is hard to understand but as we know he is not the only one even on here . His biggest problem stems from the fact he seems let down by those around him ,from what he told me that seems a bit OTT but it is not me so how can I judge ,not that I want to .It seems so hard to understand when you don't know all the facts ,we have been apart for 25 years other than his visits .
He was fresh out of uni when I left so the real truth is that as a man I don't know him ,how hard it was for his wife and much more .There is so much I would love to say to help but the fear of saying the wrong thing is my biggest concern . It is the past that he is struggling with but that cannot be changed !
I have had many problems in my life but I think from being self-employed I have just taken them on the chin and moved on ,sadly for him with his head in computers all day he cannot do it .I suggested yesterday that he has to do something different from his normal daily routine ,I asked when was the last time he went on the ferry over the mersey ,is my old bike still there to ride out for a break? things like that because he is on his computer night and day .
I come online normally around 6 a.m. and he is on facebook then which is 4a.m. in the UK .
He chats with people in Japan and the States for computers so that is one long day ,how can I try to stop that so he can get some sleep ?
Another problem is his mother doesn't believe he has any problems ! All she suggests is getting back to Cornwall near his kids . I think he has fallen out of love with many aspects of his life and the house/cottage they live in being quite small is one of them .
Sorry to ramble on but posting this does help me see straight ,I hope .

That’s so tough to deal with especially given the distance between you. In a separate conversation the other day we were talking about no matter how old your kids are you always want to make the world right for them and solve their problems, but in reality we can’t do that. You say a lot to support others on here so you shouldn’t worry about talking about it. It’s positive that he has reached out to you.
 
Just been down to the local shop for a my weekly pasty and posh sausages. It's bloody freezing down here due to the strong easterly winds that bring with it a real chill factor. Glad to get back to the warmth of my house, which is not something I can say a lot over the last week as my heating has been extremely temperamental. It's stopped working for seemingly no reason and then comes back on again. It's got the engineers baffled and poor Sam completely up the wall. Anyway it's worked fine for the last 48 hours so fingers crossed.
