I would just like to add that mostly people do not know other peoples situations,at any one time someone will be going through redundancy,divorce,illness or death.This is a good idea for a thread,but it should bre a rant about not a rant at.
You are right Gilly, I cannot comment on other peoples break ups and the problems it all brings having had a long happy marriage until Joan Passed on a couple of years ago. I picked myself up refused the medication the Doctor offered and although it still hurts carry on as she would have wished. A Wedding brought all the family together from as far as California two weeks ago and today they fly off to their own homes, of course I will miss them so got stuck in to a big clean up, washing, and catching up in the garden, "err" just having a quick cuppa at the moment not skiving. It would not work for every one especially when there is a money shortage, I hardly saw my children when they were growing up working hard to keep them, I do see a lot of them now though, the family are very strong and we do get comments on it. Sometimes sacrifices are worth it in the end although making those sacrifices does hurt, it comes down to choices.
I'm sorry to hear about anyone being in dire straits but I agree with G & P. I know we have some fun and let off steam about non gardening issues on here even though it is a gardening forum.
MMP it makes me feel uncomfortable about mentioning plants I've bought and other such stuff when you are saying you struggle to put food on the table. I feel you are lonely and obviously very worried and in need of someone to "speak" to, but is this honestly the right place?
I hope your dog does well on the antibiotics and that you find work that suits very soon. In future I'll give this thread a miss.
Thanks Palaisglide & KEF,glad that you agree, use this thread to let off steam at the big organisations.After all did,nt we join this forum for light hearted chat about gardening and associated problems/ banter?.
I apologise if I've made anyone feel uncomfortable, most people I know work very hard for their money, and I know that when you've worked for it, you have every right to spend it on whatever you want, please don't feel you need to stop posting.
I can normally see the funny side to most things, and probably will do when things get a bit easier, I have a touch of Churchill's black dog at the moment.
I will only post garden related stuff until my head's in a better place.
MMP as they say in life one door closes another door opens so i hope you get some work soon but as long as your family are healthy and well that's the main thing take care all the best for the future.
MMP, no apologies needed and it does not make me uncomfortable just very angry at a Government who think they can improve the economy by putting two and a half million people out of work then calling them lazy and cutting the benefits. The way to make progress in any economy is by full employment where people can pay their taxes and give families a decent living. You are struggling hence the Black dog mood and I am sure many of us in that position would feel the same. Your time will come, sooner than later I hope for you, meanwhile we do listen.
Ok- GillyL. I decided to order the rest of the fence posts online as they were a good bit cheaper than B&Q. Every time I added a bit more the delivery charge got higher and higher! £45 they want for 15 posts! Would be cheaper driving down there and getting them. How can they justify that? I'm really not saving anything!
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask....
Will just have to go back to B&Q and see what they take for delivery. Would take too many trips in the car I have now.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
