Another rant here ; For those of you who have pump serums or face creams or anything for that matter does it annoy you as much as me that there is around 15% that is still on the bottom! ?Sometimes I’ve had to get my OH to use pliers to get these ruddy bottles undone. THEN I have to leave it safely upside down. There is ( especially on serums) at least another 10 or more uses. Grrrr. Not cheap these things either.
I have stolen OHs pipe cutter to open up my bottles of HRT when I've run out (GP surgery takes 7 days to process a prescription!)
Derrrr, took me 10 minutes here. I thought to myself who smokes a pipe in this day and age 🤣😂
Been suffering a lot especially at night, and my own restlessness hasn't helped much either.
Three weeks for a blood test - managed to get a cancellation to make it two weeks, will have another shot tomorrow to get an earlier appointment for her. I picked up a same day cancellation for mine last week (results through already - ok), but was no good for her as he was at school.
how is hubby doing these days? How are you coping?❤️
Hi TM. He s just the same as every time he s due his rheumatoid tablets something happens usually the nurse is off sick it's a right pest. He s tired all the time he reckons and still doesn't weigh much or do much lol. I ve had my own issues too so all I seem to do is go to appointments for me and him, hospital, drs, opticians ,dental people . There s not a week goes by without some appointments somewhere and sometimes more than one in a week. Thanks for asking
Just noticed my contract with virgin tv and broadband has finished so I can look elsewhere. Anyone got any idea of a good deal with anyone please. I intend to look myself when I'm not actually attending appointments.

Morning! Cake left. To go with a brew, kettle. On.
Hugs and loves to all needed or not and extra squishes going too xxx
I don't really feel too poor but I guess we are when you compare what everyone else's household incomes are, maybe coz we don't do anything or go anywhere, my kids will likely beat out income in their first job! Gosh I must be such a disappointment to my parents! No wonder they are the way they are with me. They deffo do not offer to help me out though! Where as my kids could have thr coat of my back but they'd never ask for it.
mattswife ... Mrs ... have a hug .... noone would ever say disappointed about you and if they do they need to go check themselves out in the mirror.
Mark yourself on who you are now minus the illnesses and what you still achieve regardless. And don't be thinking what your parents thought. Different life, different generation and everyone measures "success" differently
Emerald Sending you some hugs Did you look into support groups for you and DH Just having a friendly chat can help
MW You may not be rich in monetary terms but you are rich in other ways If your parents are in fact disappointed then its them who are wrong If our children grow up strong, happy and independant thats on the parents We also wish for good health too but thats not our descision
I didn't feel poor until recently when I read what a "normal" income is now OMG When did wages get so high?
I was explaining to a friend who sees money, fancy handbags at full cost as happiness I explained that sharing my gliches and time with the GC as my route to happiness One of your lovely attributes is giving, especially squishes
I stumbled upon the Elite a few years ago whilst researching something (maybe three or four years ago). I think it must have been some money saving aspect initially.
But it's so much more than that. I'm constantly amazed at the knowledge, wisdom, humour and information that's so freely shared by all.
But what I find most uplifting is the unwavering support and listening ear that you all represent.
I love hydrangeas. Mine have all finished, flowers dried up.
I think you live in warmer climes sc🤔
you are supposed to over winter them with the heads intact to protect any new growth coming through next year. But I couldn't stand them any longer. I haven't even dried any this year.🥴
It is warmer and drier down South. I want to move one that isn't doing to well, but scared I will kill it off. They have their heads intact at the moment, but will see how long that lasts.

Don't beat yourself up, parents don't (or shouldn't) judge their children on their income.
We've spent on our 2 as they needed it growing up, so one did end up with more than the other. But we were honest with everyone as to what we were doing and why. As adults we have given both the same deposit help on their first property purchase. One bought with their partner, so that makes a big difference with what they can afford. But they are both happy that the help we gave made a big difference to what they could buy.
Going forward, there is a a grandchild on the way and I can't see our other son settling down and having kids, so I don't know how that plays out in terms of support.
Looking back at our parents, one set were more free with their time and the other with monetary support, though neither gave significant amounts. Nowadays, parents seem to give far more childcare and financial help, and be far more involved in general.

MW, I'm not sure what has happened to trigger the negative feelings, but any parent who is not extremely proud of a daughter who became and remains working in one of the hardest jobs in the UK, who is raising 2 strong daughters, runs a house and remains married, clearly has something wrong with them!
When I was doing my degree, my mother would tell me every day that I should give up and get a nice little cleaning job. I think her attitude was due to her own childhood, where she was taught good women, got married, had kids, and dedicated their lives to cleaning, cooking, and their husbands...... thank god times have changed.
