Good luck to your daughter. How far is she from home?x
Chaffinch where are you (sorry if I asked before) I am in Birmingham and my daughter went to newmans to do her early years degree as she did not want to end up with masses of debt and she could travel there from home x
Cheltenham so not far about 50 minutes by car maybe an hour and a half by public transport. You are only the second person that I have come across who has heard of Newman! She seems to be settling in well and is in a flat with a girl from her course who she is getting on well with ?
My daughter found it to a a very friendly place and their reputation with regards to education based courses is very good and you are not too far away either which is a bonus x I am sure she will love it x
My daughter off to York Uni tomorrow! It’s going to be a know emotional morning for me.xx
My customer made me a beautiful Victoria sponge cake so I’m drown7ng my sorrows with it right now and stuffing myself!!!???
Ck I am sure you will miss her loads as she will miss you but she will be calling you loads and visiting when she can I am sure xx
Hi SueW. How are you doing? She will come back in 3 weeks and yes we will talk but will miss having her around.xxx
Awww CK just saw this. You will miss her but think of the nice shopping trips to York when you feel up to it. Hope it goes well tomorrow xxx
Yes, that’s another plan ladies! We all meet in York when feeling better!!! SPA in York SueW, Jencat, Ali, CherryB, Whytefawn, Cathysid, Chaffinch, Sib, Rhonaboat, our CCs and any other lovely ladies we meet along put journey of recovery.xxx
Hope this morning is not too difficult for you CK - was in the same position last week - you get so used to having them around over the summer and particularly if you are feeling a bit wobbly it’s comforting to have them causing mess and noise !!
Just what you need Jencat - to sit next to the grim reaper on the bus !!!
Thanks Jencat and Jill
I didn’t cry when she left as I didn’t want to upset her but then went for my flu jab and cried in front of the nurse too! How strange Jencat, we are a right pair!!! I had last appointment and so my doctor who was next door asked me for a catch up. They were so nice. I instantly felt better.xxx
The old man Jencat bless him! I’ve experienced a few things recently when people say things that we could have just done without!!! Some can be so blunt and not think about what they are saying! I’ve learnt to just shut off!
Have a lovely day for daughter’s birthday tomorrow and yes at least you can celebrate with her. BC will always be at the back of our minds whatever we are doing and all we can do is try to take a day at a time.
Hope you feel more at ease now after your cry and chat with the nurse. It’s a shame that you were put rhrough a few days of unecessary stress! Statistics are different all the time and reasons and situations too!
Mum wanted fish n chips today so quite pleased with her £5 senior portion fish chips n gravy as there was enough for both of us and they were cooked fresh! Yummy!!!
What’s everyone eating today??xx
Sometimes a little bit of care and interest in how you are doing can set you off can’t it !! A bit of a cry can do you good - it can be hard holding it together for those around us.
Can’t beat fish chips mushy peas and gravy !!! In a tray all soggy with lots of vinegar !!!
York sounds okay about 2 hours from me maybe 2 and a half so would stop over so not driving 4 hours in 1 day
Big hugs ck I bet your daughter is missing you already xx
Jen the man on the bus how insensitive guess we just have to learn to take things with s pinch of salt x
I think we all need to do a Hotel and Spa night with dinner and breakfast.xxx
Sounds like a plan xx and in all honesty I would probably get the train x
Count me in!! Xx
