Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
I get sad how I have become, because ten year ago I was a landlady of a pub, cooked up to 50 meals per night, organised functions and sang on karaoke. :D Must have been the karaoke that did me in. :D

Oops, posting when you were, so don't take my last post as another moan. Yeah, I do moan, don't realise I am doing it sometimes. Deep down I have a love for a lot of stuff, but this moaning thing keeps cropping up. :shrug:
Carys I did have a chat with my o/h, so he knows how I feel now. I don't believe in bottling things up, it's bad for you, so that particular air is clear now. :)
No, definitely not a 'daily mail' reader. Gave up newspapers years ago. Better to get news from the horses mouth. :ohmy:
Just wanted to thank everyone for their time and help and I found it a great help. Thank you :hugs: x
Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
This is me:- " It's my birthday next week, and I would like an electric toothbrush, and a card with Wife on and not Mother. I am not your Mother!!!!
and it is Christmas soon and a would like a new mobile phone. One that I can reply to without going on to the computer."
If I did not ask I would not get.
Carnation No way on this earth would or could have done your job.
I am no cook. I hate cooking and baking. Nothing ever turns out right.
Sending you:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:xxx
Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
Ahhhh, is that how it works Magic?
Next time I will be ready. :D
Catering is hard labour.
Once I cooked burgers and hotdogs from 11am to 11pm non-stop! I couldn't look at either for ages. :huh:
Thinking of you today. :hugs::hugs::hugs:

Sounds like someone's been in trouble for buying the wrong card before :ohmy:
My folks will buy each other gifts that they have pre-arranged or given an idea of. Sometimes they will go out and shop together. As they say, they have everything at their age so it's hard to think of things. Going together can at least mean it becomes an event.

Glad you have a better day out, Carnation. It was just a day late.
Yep, that's families. I know my parents are at that point where they aren't too bothered about family contact. It seems to be more funerals at that age where they get together.
Some families live in each other pockets, others are more independent. I think it matters more about the direct lines. Maybe it's a sign of the times with less people living closer and socialising all the time?
I'm quite bad for this too. If I work with friends I'm used to seeing them all the time and going out with them all the time. As we move on that seems to break down.
I guess we have to come to terms with what is reasonable for our lives. And look at what we want to change. I can understand how we look at ourselves as failures, I do that too. I stopped comparing to others and getting low for that but when you look at yourself it can still be depressing if things aren't where you want them to be. People keep moving forward in life but mental health issues have a habit of halting you and you don't experience things.

Gee Magic,with your cooking you sound like me,you sure we aren’t related:winks:I put 2 eggs on the boil,went outside too feed my hound,watered the weeds and spoke to the neighbour we heard a bang and it was the bloody eggs,they exploded:roflmao:
Carnation,I reckon you are like Magic,a very kind lovely woman who hasn’t judged me.:hugs:
Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
Ahhhh Lola, that's a nice thing to say. :hugs:
Anyway, no one should be judged without a jury and even then it can be wrong! :D

Yes Terry, it's a shame when you move on you lose touch.
I've always tried to stay in touch and there is no reason why a distance should segregate a friendship if it is a good one. Whether we want it or not, we need human contact in some way.
Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
Hi Carnation, Thank you very much:hugs: Oh dear Hot dogs( them rubbish one's out of a tin) !!!I love with onions, but I have never had a beef burger.
For Terry. Yes that happens some times.:doh: but not this time. Just a comment how much the card cost :shrug: Well he is getting on:whistles: cannot get a card for a shilling anymore:)
Hi Lola, the same thing happens to me all the time. no kidding. xxx
Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
Hi all , so here's a small insight into the male mind and my observations of women's reactions , firstly men don't listen , when a woman talks for more than one minute a switch clicks in our brains and we stop hearing and start thinking about why the car is making that noise or how to delete the history on the computer , the hint you dropped about what you'd like for your birthday is like a tree falling in the woods with no one around , it's also the reason we forgot where and when to meet up with you . None of this is intentional and we do care it's just a different set of wiring in our larger but less useful brains .
So over the years Ive mastered listening every now and then , I pick out cards and read the verse to make sure it says the right things , I also peel off the price , I buy at least three presents for a safe each way bet , now a woman's view on this and it happened twice recently, partner wasn't too well so I nipped in a florist to have flowers delivered, the florist lady asked what the occasion was for the card and I said no occasion to which she replied " oh what have you done wrong ? " this was also said a few weeks before in the supermarket, guilty until proven innocent, the other thing is my partner will ask what are these for when given flowers then either ask how much or look for the receipt in my van , the last ones I bought I got the receipt scribbled out the price and wrote don't be so f**king nosey then left it folded up under my coat , I asked later and she couldn't deny opening it .
Carnation I'm sure mr c does care but we do need a nudge to remind us you would like to be shown every now and then .
Like Lola and Magic my cooking skills are zero so I need to keep the other half happy or I'd starve , I once put a Scotch egg in the oven on full then went to the pub , luckily partner came back to put the fire out :doh:
Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
You've got that right, Buster! :yesyes::roflmao:
I was walking past a pub with an outdoor area at the front one evening and a bunch of blokes commented on me being in trouble as I was carrying a bunch if flowers. They were for my mum though, luckily.
Re: Feeling alone and sad on my birthday :(
You guys shouldn't keep being naughty then. :D
