Deanna, just catching up on the posts and spotted yours. I did not take offence, thought it was funny. ::>))))). I have gone ocd on my tree, put it to good use.
And as I stated before I do not suffer form it.
My kids gave me a poster once, and it say's:

I DON'T SUFFER FROM INSANITY
I ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT

And most of the time I do.

So do not worry, please.

Ben I was watching a film with my husband and thinking of what I said to you.

So I came on to apologise, then I find that Gail has left you a message and I may have upset her too.

I was joking Ben, and Gail, but sitting back realized that it is not funny to the sufferer.
I'm not a hurtful person and definitely meant no harm to you.
Sorry.

Deanna X
with so many worries of her own....
none of which is funny.... xx

Welcome to our new posters.

Ben noticed you have ocd, so do I, but I don't suffer from it, I have turned it to an advantage. I like things neat and tidy, and clean, but no longer go overboard, and can let a little dust settle now. I also count, but can also stop it when it gets out of hand.

I am very tired, and just popped in, so will be back in touch BEN. You are not alone. See you all tomorrow.

Gail

your MiL's generation Gail were tough. They came through the second WW, we who were their children admire them. those that chose to make a new life for themselves certainly worked hard for it. I do hope that she manages to make her party ok. But don't wear yourself out doing everything, that wont help her at all.

G'Day all you lovelies.

I am still very tired and no energy. MIL still in hospital, having some problems as is on blood thinners. They are making her rest so she can make it to her party, which docs have promised she will make. Finalised everything today.

Havn't had a chance to catch up just yet on all the posts, and will get to PMs soon.

I am also busy working on MILs tree as is for her birthday as well.

Yorkshire Caz, Please take it easy, I look forward to seeing you on here, loves you like crazy lass.

Short story of MIL

She lived in Leeds married and moved to Malton for a few years. Came to OZ in the mid 50's as a ten pound pom, (no offence intended). Stayed in imigration camp in Sydney for a few months and then moved to the country, nearest town was 30 miles, no car, FIL used to ride a pushbike to work. House was in the middle of nowhere, no electricity, toiled out the back, no flush (let you use your imignation). Had never seen a snake, or poisionus spiders, and the flies, and mosquitoes, she had never seen so many in her life, they would swarm. She was used to the luxury of England in the 1950's, did not expect to be living in 1850's in Australia. But that is what she came to. She adapted, had two more children, and grew to love this country, with its droughts and apalling heat, and bitter cold frosts. She missed England and family so much, went back to England to live, she cried for the first month, as she missed home, which OZ had come to mean to her. It took 2 years to save and move back to a country she had come to love.

She has my respect and friendship. I grew up here and was used to the hardship (though never thought of it that way) was used to our ways. What a journey she and all her country men that came in thoes time must have had. They have helped build a beautiful country.

Love and hugs to you all

Gail

Take care Caz

Hi everyone
Elaine hope you have had a decent nights sleep, you must be so tired after so much stress, it might kick in more now especially after how hard you have been trying to cope. Take care
Ben, glad you are coming back on here, the more you talk the easier it gets.
I seem to be able to retain 2/3 names at a time so please don't think I ignore others,
Carole give yourself a day off and rest, you deserve it.
Loved the poem
I am away tomorrow to IOW to take some flowers in memory of my dad. It's a long journey, it will take believe it or not,about 9/10 hours for me and mum to get there and she is not feeling too good so I am
a bit nervous, hence the nerve rash!! Will be back Friday so speak to you all Saturday
Please take care of yourselves
Lots of love Janetx

I have had this OCD for years now and at 25 it has taken over a lot of my life.

I think the reason for my doubting was Roberts is a pretty common name, but it is quite rare in Kent actually in the 1800s.

Ooer! *runs and hides from Carole.

Lots of TLC for you today then carole, hot water bottle or something warm for your tummy, nice hot drink, lay on the settee and watch an old movie or something soothing. Or chat on here to take your mind off it.

(((hugs)))

Ann GG Well done Wales!!!

Having your granddaughter with you is good for

Good to hear you say you are looking forward
to summer. Hopefully with granddaughter you

Hi gang - weather here in Cardiff not too bad, certainly not as bad as forecast - most of Wales probably still in bed after yesterday's fantastic rugby match at the Millennium Stadium!! I,m still in my dressing gown but psyching myself up to get motivated. That's off the menu now - son just rang - going out to lunch and he's picking me up at 12:15!!! so will have to go and get ready - shame really, was so looking forward to housework!!! not!

Good morning everyone, not a very pleasant one here, wet and miserable. So we wont be going far - not that I can at the moment anyway lol!!

Hope you all have a good day.
