I have received an offer from Hearst Magazines for 6 issues for £6. I think someone on here (TM?) was looking at this.
Will put info upstairs.
This was so kind of you to think of me Luby. Unfortunately Good Food doesn't seem to be one of their titles😐I'll have a look though and see if there's anything else. I think these Good housekeeping type ones are really poor quality reads.
My Anthropologie candle arrived a day late for the 90th birthday party🥴
I made a little gift to take along. 50p for the sale plant, pot from a huge collection from home, Christmas ribbon and homemade tag using the stick from the plant.......and it smells nice
Dull, grey and raining. Yet again. Summer didn't last very long
Hope everyone is happy and well, or those that are poorly are feeling better. Probably quite a few are on their holidays, hopefully a great time is being had by all who are. Take care and enjoy the day whatever you are getting up to.
Yes dull, overcast and pretty cool up here too Had really heavy rain for a bit yesterday evening
DH is at home and I can feel his boredom already as he will have been up for hours. I have plenty to do but it involves pottering too He keeps asking what my plans for the day are
Hope MW is better today and her family have not caught Covid
Nice to have have you back Wendy. Sarah glad you enjoyed your holiday We have nothing planned but looking a cruise for New Year. Way too early to book but would be an ideal time to cut back on calories
Snap read a snippit of a tortoise that made its way onto a rail track Made me think of you with all the tortoises and railway links

good morning peeps, love to all poorlies and poorly parents! a litle rant from me every week we do a meal plan, well I do actually every week I ask OH what he needs in the way of shopping, and some suggestions for meals he always says sausages, and I am sick of trying to think of meals for the week (something simple, and usually with salad) by the time Sunday evening comes I am out of ideas, and sick of thinking, but without fail every Sunday OH asks WHATS THE PLAN
I dont know, I dont care, but still he asks just go to the kitchen and find something man, before I throttle you! LJx

Official recommendation is that for less than £200 you can use the freepost. If you don't have much trust in Royal Mail you may want to use a signed for or even insured service. I think for less than £40 I would probably risk it; anything higher and I would go for a more secure method than Freepost. If you have a lot, you could always split into a few bundles and send separately.

Good morning all, a tad dull here.
I have been brave and put a couple of loads of washing out though.
Not sure what I shall do today, OH is out this morning and this afternoon he needs to sort the broadband as Sky are refusing to negotiate! I suspect they think we need someone with TV on offer as well as broadband, but we have not even turned on the Sky box for a loooong time, it is Sky+ and I hated that the disc kept running from time to time. We have satellite on the TV so we simply have one of the cables hooked up to that for when the aerial signal is poor.
Loving your little updates Snap
Anyone wants to see the picture of the tortoise rescued off the train line, it was near Ascot.
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

I often joke with friends, that it must be nice to be a man as they don't have to think what they are going to eat every day.... the total lack of stress.
But take them to a restaurant, they take ages to choose ... and them either pick comfort food or something they tell us they don't like!
I don't do plans as I'm not that organised but you could just do a few weeks and rotate them x
I have printed off the forms and it seems they can still be swapped out however I will check again I dont know how many he has so will check cant imagine its too much

Thanks lovely. I'm still pos and Dd1 has it but the other 2 are fine atm. Dd2 is isolating herself in the conservatory lol matt is in thr living room but away from everyone. Dd1 is in thr living room but the other side of it.
In my head I want to do stuff now so I'm trying to limit myself to 1 small job each time I get up to the loo, so I gave the loo a clean, wiped thr worktops, put bits in thr bin that have been left out. That sort of thing. Then at least they all go together to look like I've accomplished something. I wish I didn't have that need, but alas, I do no have an appendage thus I feel the need to do stuff. 🤣😉🍆

Get a good audio book.... lay back and enjoy x
I have one on thr go but also have KU so I have about an hour left of den of vipers. It's sooooo much better than the audio. I don't want narrators that sound like Bernard cribbins thanks. Ive also started Fellow Travelers mmmm Matt Bomer in a suit... And matt Bomer out of a suit.
I'm also doing a bit of Internet research into hmmm self discovery? That wasn't a euphemism BTW, looking at why I am the way i am and what to do about it. I guess I spent so many years fixing everything and everyone else it's about time I did it for myself coz noone else is offering!

KU?
Remember, girls from a certain era were raised to have a sense of identity that is based on placing everyone else's needs before their own.... add parental neglect or any form of abuse into the mix, often results in extreme self neglecting our own needs by prioritising the needs of others. Enter adulthood..... gone is the era where a woman can be a stay at home wife.... so we enter a caring profession, which is terribly underfunded, high stress levels, no matter how much we give, we cannot meet the needs of the people we work with which sucks every bit of energy out of us, and has a negative impact on sense of identity. We then enter long term relationship .... no matter how much we give our OH, they want more..... add kids into the mix. Now we're balancing the needs of our kids, partner, family and friends, our kids at work and organisation.....most of which constantly demand more from us.... for years and years and years.

You have correctly summed me up.
Findings so far (expanding on yours) not getting validation from parents as having value, only given attention when better than others so now unconsciously re-enacting that dynamic. And having codependent relationships or seeking out people that are unwilling or unable to meet needs. People minimising my needs as they have a vested interest in ignoring them.
I guess not having what one would describe as an abusive childhood/relationships is another way of minimising psychological stuff. It doesn't have to have been brutal beatings or obvious put downs, doesn't have to have been intentional. They're just reasons why I am the way I am and why I struggle with some stuff. I just have to recognise them and meet my own needs or ask for someone to meet them and try not to make those same mistakes for my kids. I mean they already have to deal with genetic disposition, financial restraints and a disabled parent so if I can not add to that!
I know I'm a loving mum, my kids will say hugs are my favourite thing, I'm generous with everything I have to the best of my ability, I try to compensate for all of the above when they can't have stuff or me, and at the end of it all I won't succeed, none of us do, I just hope my kids know they are loved, they are worthy of love and anything they want and that they have true happiness in themselves.
