Punkdoc, yes you do sound very down. Don’t forget you can rant as much as you need on here, get some of it out of your system. We have broad shoulders, and we don’t have to live with you! As you know from your own career, you’ll need to get the acceptance, and the ‘why me’ bit processed, which will take some time. Then you can and will start moving forward to make the most of your new circumstances.
Cheer me up. Wanted to plant my bulbs today but lashing with rain, resigned to potting on my lavender plugs in the Greenhouse. Haven't heard the result of my interview, of which I made a total cock up...expected a positive chat with my boss and other senior colleagues, instead had a rigorous test of my knowledge of legislation. Didn't help with a visit from the Taxman that morning 😕 telling us my OH owes 74k for failing to submit his tax returns even though he has been PAYE. Happy days!!
Oh @SamBevington, I was wondering how you got on, sounds like a day to forget, you may have come across better than you thought, we are our own worst critics. Plant the bulbs anyway, you can handle rain! 😉
That's a tough one @SamBevington. I find in my garden I accidently dig bulbs up when trying to squeeze in extra plants later 😄 so although I have them scattered through the main bed, any new ones I'm putting in pots and then I know where they are. I can always nestle them in the boarders in their pots. This is also due to the fact that although we've been here over 20 years, it's still a rented accommodation and it will be one less thing to dig up should we ever be in the position to move 😄
Wonky, do you just place the pots in the borders or dig them in a bit? Off to Aldi to get a big bottle of Gin for later with Strictly and maybe a few more bulbs!!
Massive hugs also to you Hosta ❤️,and everyone else. We are relative strangers,yet not. Sometimes it's easier to chat to a stranger,and sometimes friends get fed up with hearing! I was chatting to a lady in a store a couple of weeks ago,she told me her hubby had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer,we nattered,she thanked me,and said she felt so much better and lighter. Isn't that nice
I used to run a little craft shop and what I miss most about it is the chats with customers - and the hugs and tears with some who were suffering. A lady still trying to get over losing her husband 2 years before, a lady whose partner showed all the signs of coercive control but who had too many health problems to leave, another lady with severe health problems, a lady who had been bullied all her life, a lady with ADHD who couldn't cope with the fact that the crochet class had been moved from the shop to elsewhere - all sorts. No judgement, just hugs, tears and a cup of tea.
