Have had some interest which I am not going to jinx by talking about it though! Bless you for such a very nice comment. <br /><br />Crystal – I know you have been very ill so thanks for popping by. Hope things are improving.<br /><br />Lorna F – I will gladly keep up the PR for you! Your book is absolutely brilliant and one of the best that I have ever read. Good luck with those writing courses. I’ll be on one next year!<br /><br />Lane – welcome back, great to see you are writing again! We had an amazing time.<br /><br />Bittersweetmess – glad you came back to me. I think your last post showed great signs of positivity. It has been a hell of a journey for you and you have documented your pain, anguish, anger and sorrow so eloquently about your son’s hit and run death. Your new friendship seems to bring you love and comfort. Maybe from what you have written you are ready to start expanding that circle – men can be great friends too! All the best, may the road rise up to meet you.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-5868229438967288962009-11-18T04:40:49.737+00:002009-11-18T04:40:49.737+00:00Hi MOB, thank you for your usual kind words and ye...Hi MOB, thank you for your usual kind words and yes it is such a relief to see my boy dealing better with his grief.<br /><br />As for you question about who is taking care of me? No one, just me and my youngest. We take care of each other. I moved away when my son was killed and live up to 2 hours away from my family and friends. <br /><br />I have however met a woman on the Island who has become a very good friend, she comes over once a week and spends a few hours here, we sit out the back, listening to the ocean and talking about anything and everything. It is a nice escape. One of my brothers also lives on the Island and we get together for coffee once every 2 week so. <br /><br />I would love to have a guy to support me and I can't tell you how good it would be to get hugs...but I'm not sure I could deal with a relationship..anyhow..I am thinking of getting back out there in the world of relationships so maybe I will have someone to give me some TLC soon =)<br /><br />Thank you again xxOhMyMissRebeccaJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604323363983375327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-88167454224928560842009-11-17T13:54:42.742+00:002009-11-17T13:54:42.742+00:00Congratulations on your 5th MOB and I hope you had...Congratulations on your 5th MOB and I hope you had a fabulous time in London (although a clue in the comments tells me you did:-)Lane Mathiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147122748453850264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-86288990570901220882009-11-16T17:24:27.896+00:002009-11-16T17:24:27.896+00:00MOB, thanks for the lovely reference to me in your...MOB, thanks for the lovely reference to me in your reply to Claire.

Luckily mine wasn't anywhere near that bad and the locals in the pub know my humour and that I was joking about having it. You are truly are inspirational how you keep going in the face of all the problems that you have to cope with. Good health sweetie. X<br /><br />Claire - I haven't a clue what dialect they used in the 18th century although I feel I was probably around in that time! There is a fabulous Scottish author who leaves comments on my blog and she teaches English Lit at Oxford as part of the continuing education programme. She is Scottish and knows a great deal about the dialogue. Perhaps she can point you in the right direction because each area has its own unique dialogue. Her name is Lorna Ferguson and she can be contacted at http://literascribe.blogspot.com/ She might know something that can help you.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-66619660303901943212009-11-13T01:22:01.227+00:002009-11-13T01:22:01.227+00:00Happy Anniversary to you and Himself.

It disappears like magic around here. <br /><br />The trip to London sounds like heaven. I hope you both have a wonderful time. However, it seems whenever the two of you go off on an adventure, you always have a wonderful time.<br /><br />I was sorry to hear you were sick. Having Swine Flu myself, I've been so bad even getting on the computer. It was hell, but I go to the doctor today, just to make sure it hasn't moved into my lungs and made a home there. I'm glad your feeling better.<br /><br />I could have sworn that was me dancing in that video! We must be twins. Thanks for the laugh, as always.<br /><br />Take care and let us know how London goes. <br />Love,<br />CherylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-46763183667361411872009-11-11T15:29:11.248+00:002009-11-11T15:29:11.248+00:00Lena – Bog roll is indeed the most stolen thing I’...Lena – Bog roll is indeed the most stolen thing I’ve come across in my time. It’s almost the most brutal thing to do to people and the stuff is so cheap. Can’t fathom why people do it and these are usually people that say they never stole a thing in their life. I love that video too – it’s great for cheering me up on a dark wintry day. <br /><br />VM – hope you are feeling better. It’s a bit rough this round of flu this time. God knows what swine flu really feels like. Glad to hear you still have that IOU – you can use it like a getting out of jail card when the need arises!<br /><br />Iota – welcome and glad you had a laugh. Seems bog roll’s are worth their weight in gold judging by the amount that get nicked.<br /><br />Mo – we had the best time ever.

Hah!<br /><br />Lori-e I know what you mean. Living where we are now, we have seen Woburn safari park too many times to count as we took family around the sights! I was just too busy in London and travelling with the job that I had that I’d flake out and ‘get around to the tourist thing’ some other time. <br /><br />Jeni – I cried with laughter at your present of a six pack! Some blokes are just priceless aren’t they? My how he must have swept you off your feet with such grand gestures! How could you bear to let him go? You must have been beyond yourself with grief.....or more likely laughter!<br /><br />Jennyta – we’d been talking a lot lately about going to London so I knew it was on the cards. It was just that he’d gone off and did all the legwork before springing it on me. Priceless. <br /><br />LBD – I certainly was within mooning distance of the palace – right behind it in fact. I didn’t waste any time having a look-see at the front as I drove past it so often when I lived there. I was tempted however to moon at the palace of Westminster when I walked past it in the hope Gordon Brown might be having a wee look out his windae! <br /><br />Clairedulalune – Glad you had a wee chortle hen. Frankie Boyle’s book is a hoot to read. A great Christmas present for anyone who likes his comedy. It cheered me up no end when I got well enough to read it wrapped up in a big duvet in my hugely comfortable recliner – fab fun!<br /><br />Carol – hope your screen wasn’t too drippy after coughing and spluttering away there! Still, if you had enough bog roll, I am sure you were able to give it a good wipe!<br /><br />Ethelmaepotter – ah you are too kind dear girl! The hubby is a treasure, the best. <br /><br />Lorna F – not just any old nosebag of course, it was designer donchaknow!menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-25484198866142363062009-11-04T23:02:42.317+00:002009-11-04T23:02:42.317+00:00Congratulations on the anniversary, MOB - but you&...Congratulations on the anniversary, MOB - but you're so wicked telling people in the pub you had swine flu!
