sunnnnnnyyyyy dayyyyyyy oh yessssssss!! thank you

BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAYS 

Loving it !!!

Despite all the crap from people - im chilling out in the sun and 'bleep bleep' them !!! :)

Who needs any of those in their life anyway  - i have the most important people around me  my family they are all that matters to me  - i no longer trust anyone one else - when friends of 40yrs let you down then you know its all just fake ! so TRUST NO ONE is my motto 

They smile to your face but when you need them to stand by you all you get is disappointment  - time and time again its not only happened with me its happened with many others i know. The only hurtful thing is that you trust them so no more of that - i do my own thing as of now.  

So  lovely day again second week of sunshine - way hotter than we are used to even when we do get some sun cant lay out in it - shading is required but who cares its gorgeous

Not much done today - house desperately needs a clean but i will do tonight if not to tired or for the rainy days (or if we keep this weather perhaps not - house will be horrific by then lol)

sat in garden with the dogs (bit warm for them) Got a bargain rattan chair from the auction as per photo to follow - £5 they cost £199 im hoping that there may be another next time - and its not just a one off - finally got the foam for my other bargain conservatory sofa and chairs which we bought for the garden although it seems to nice to leave out but it was only £10 hoping for sunny weekend as its bank holiday and jubilee so monday and tuesday off extra to add on the weekend

continually disappointed in people but still i move on ...

Well another on slaught from the so called friend - she wont let things go cos she cant see her own bad behaviour, ive told her to stay away from me i want nothing to do with her and yesterday had to change my phone no. - i have to face the hen party with her :( and the wedding - after which all ties will hopefully be cut although if i want to go to my local club of which im a member, she will be there due to the fact she practically lives in there.  I cant allow her to continue to bring me down with her behaviour so im going to just ignore the fact she is there. The other 'neutral' friend will have her day shortly that after the wedding, no falling out but i will not take on any activity with her, 40yrs friendship and she stood with my other friend (they only met through me) ive not seen her through out this - some friend, she had her second chance after she to thought she could treat me like crap - TRUST NO ONE they are all out for theirselves - i wasnt bought up like that, i was taught to help others and respect them yeah everyone has disagreements with a big family like mine i should know! but you compromise or agree to disagree. This is some thing different though, and can not be resolved with a them and their bad attitudes yes i could go 'lick' and pretend but no i wont stoop to that level. I did nothing despite being blamed (only to cover her own short comings) i dont feel i can allow her to get away with it, she has disappointed and disrespected me hugely for no reason. Oddly despite her recent out burst, its not upset me as it previously did - i guess i now see her with different eyes as i do the other one she has been no where near me well so be it , just biding my time!

The diet  yeahhhhhh back on track lost the 2lb i put on plus one more so well chuffed and pleased to be back on track.
Really want to keep going i feel so much better i can now run better what a difference a stone (14lbs) makes 


My nick has had his birthday now - not recieved his card in mexico but hopefully it will get there soon hes doing ok viri has english classes going and now 11 students well done to her!


vik had a weekend away to a christening - seems she has little time since danny has been on the scene :( but liam is here with me a lot she now has a job which is helpful she can get back on track she will be at the hen weekend so i wont be alone 


liam is doing fine hes on work experience with grampy next week 


Its bank holiday weekend plus the diamond jubilee :D so very long weekend with the   2 days holiday 


Tikka is doing well - as is tups - i got bitten by a jack russell dog  grr it went after tups i managed to get her out of its way and was holding her up on my shoulder the dog jumped up and bit my arm OMG OUUUUCHHH






 Photos dont really show how bad it is its now more swollen too was worried about the bleeding part getting infected and it has now got a huge red circle around it but its not appearing festy :S so hopefully i wont need to go on anti biotics  - the dog has been reported but i dont know the owner so little can be done :(

Ummmmm what else ? Hubby is working weekends to finish her conservatory its been waiting for him to do it for a very long time but i would like him home and more so i would like our home to be getting sorted :(
still it will be a bonus wage for our holiday i guess. 

Art show on the 9th and  mother in law :S :S :S is 90 and will have a party on the 24th 

Well thats about it for now - hopefully the weather will continue would be good to bbq this weekend its cooler in the mornings hot in the afternoons and warm in the evenings cool but not cold at night so if it at least stays similar it will be good :D 

Sunday 27 May 2012

happy birthday to my son :)

Wednesday 23 May 2012

Least its not all bad ?? ummm

Well, The good news  :D its hot hot hot decent weather at last :) Melting weather love it but omg its HOT so so nice wish the swimming pool was up and running, the bad news  darn snow damaged the tiles so its under repair (which will probably drag on as hubby is working 24/7 as per usual)

The MG back on the road - well kind of :/ the good news it only cost £300 well that was until today when the rad pipe went for the 2nd time :( and steering issues grrrrr so its back in the garage but least its being seen to - just hoping its not to much damage to either car or purse !

Shopping today in Oxford - couldnt get the things i wanted did get some much needed new underwear, be good to go back to Milton Keynes for the things i spotted there but that depends on the car.  Feet are killing me and of course its hot so mega melt down wow came in and jumped in bath before did any thing else1

Bicester beer festival is in june so im working on paintings for that - sold 2 at brill was good to have bit of profit for the work done others can go in the festival show so maybe they will sell there

Errrrrrr nothing changed on the friend front - and not expecting it to - still sad but getting through it.

Liam will be on work experience in June with grampy ha ha we let you know how that goes 

The DIET

Well, not weighed yet but i think im doing ok def back on track with food choices my scrappy scales showing a loss so hopefully that little gain i had is gone !! and pleasssssssssssse let me have lost just a little more !
Jogged the track was well chuffed, done lots of walking and a little bit of aerobic at home , just gonna build up, its rather hot to be doing to much without falling in a heap .




Allotment is going on ok hopefully now the rain has stopped we might get some growth instead of drowing everything 

Well think thats it for now off to soak my feet they are still aching even though i had bath   :/

Thursday 17 May 2012

Nothing seems to change - i have to question if it really will get better :/

Things as per usual not so good  - seems I'm the one that did 'nothing' but im the one blamed and lost out, my so 'called friends' are out and about winning darts gyming together having fun and me who never caused the problem in the first place the villian of the piece ??? WTF ? 
I keep trying to move on but its hard when you are the innocent party and it seems they that caused problems are the ones rewarded. 

I thought myself kind and unselfish there is little i wont do for anyone in fact i spent all my life doing for others, for what ??? to be trod on and treated like some thing nasty on their shoes.

I'M FED UP WITH PEOPLE HURTING ME . 

So with that bit of ranting out and off my chest what else....

THE DIET :(

Well i put on another lb :( really not happy with myself, i have tried to kick back in to touch as of today its not been to bad a day but it could have been better and im still in sleepy mode so struggling to do anything, upset doesnt help and thats all i seem to  have  -  hey ho fight on !  

My tuppences birthday today :) she is 4 bless her 








i love her so much, her love and friendship has no conditions  she loves me back 'whatever' :) i have no one that i can confide in no friends i can trust and family do their own thing :( so she is my companion and i love her to bits :)

Tuesday 15 May 2012

Soooooooooooo :/ plodding on with things fighting on but being a miserable cow with it :( 

I know what im like, i know what i should do, im managing the best i can - i do what i need to do for me! it seems wrong to lots of people it seems but i cant help that, they dont know what its like they give little support or help (some try to give more and i do appreciate that) but seems they just make a down day worse, but im not going to dwell on them i do what i have to do  WHAT EVER!

So, went out with niece yesterday had a good day we chatted lots and did a bit of a shop was nice change. Did very little today its peeeeeeing down i couldnt get any more paint for my art as the shop is out of stock but im off tomorrow to have my hair done and will get some in Aylesbury

Sunny among the rains

Beautiful sunny day today cooler this afternoon but reflects my mood today .  I feel calmer today, my niece visited me yesterday we are going shopping Monday :) i feel like im moving on although its slow and still a painful, im saddened by my friend that is so called 'neutral' because in fact shes not - shes with the other one not with me. I have things going on with her and once they are done she too im sorry to say will be down the road, after all she has my friend to keep her company!

YES im still griping - it hurts!

but i AM getting there. Today i auctioned, was a nice day the dogs had a good run and are now snoring although they need to be bathed :/
I do too!

The brother-in-laws were at the auction was interesting seeing them mooch about together, auctioning is a new experience for one of them .

Im painting, and oh yes 'thank you' tikka grrr trampled on a wet oil i had laid down for a second :( i have thankfully managed to repair phew!!

Exhibit is 18th this month and another at the beer festival is 9th June.

My viki's cat has 4 kittens and the other is pregnant too - shes allowing them one litter each and then they will be neutered.


The diet 
:/ i think ive put on a few pounds :'( bit miffed i've not been so bad thought i might stay the same at worst or maybe lose up to a lb but not to put on :( cracking back down since i stepped on my scales but they are old and unreliable so im hoping !!!! 

Will be churching tomorrow with georgina - shes done a clear out today so will be sorting some stuff to auction for her.
so thats the news 
and average fairly warm day cooling :)

Off for my bath ....

CALM - breathe deeply

So im trying to move on - today is a better day, still sad, still upset im still struggling and still angry i let myself be fooled again by so called friends 

HOWEVER,

 I am moving on - I've got my paintings done for first exhibit, whilst down down met my sister we hadd a coffee and chin wag :) she seems to have the same luck as me with people - treated like crap, i think we are to easy going so they think they can take advantage and when we pull them up on some thing they are shocked and clearly dont like being caught out as users ! 

One thing my dad installed in us is fairness, we were taught to help the 'under dog' to care for people, to help where we can for no self gain - WELL DAD - IT DOESNT WORK we just get trampled on by all and sundry. They also have the nerve to blame us for their faults, their bad behaviour all because we say 'hang on a minute' and they dont like it! 

So yep im venting again, it helps me and thats what my blog is for.

I went today and visited Martyns grave, had a cry and told him 'i knew how he must have felt, i have been there - but unlike him i wanted to stay here, yes its lonely and painful, but i want to live i want to go on and try to improve my life for as long as i have it' I asked if he could help me, i asked my mum and dad and ive asked God, im trying to help myself but some times you just cant do it on your own and i need help, i need help now.  I dont have any friends certainly none that  i can trust let alone depend on - all i have had in that department is betrayal so - i go onward alone YES i have a family but they are grown doing their own thing and  hubby well, hes a work a holic :/  hes around but he doesnt really understand. Also hes enough on his plate, hes the only bread winner, the people we have lost has effected him to some were his familly his friends. 

So here i am working on things wishing this pain and heartache would leave me and let me get on instead of pulling me continually down. I so wish i had people round me that didnt add to the distress things are truely bad enough!

SO...... The diet 
Well today i got back on track - shock yesterday with a lb gain and i am sooooooooooooo not going there !!!! i did jog yesterday and dug and raked  the allotment couldnt move much today lol but diet is back on track after bit of a binge, self sabotage weekend. 

So optomistic need to crack down on some more exercise and keep in check with what foods im eating

My paintings are done! already for the 18th may exhibit (only 4 to display due to shortness of time ) 
I have canvas now and started a couple for the 9th june  Beer festival run out of white oils so need to sort that tomorrow. I have a few others from previous exhibits that will go there too 


Still lots to sort out - trying to keep up and replenish finances, working out a plan and feel better for doing that. Its helped with the likes of putting thing in more focus and importance instead of scattered and lost and forgotten until some thing is 'to late' or otherwise.


My tups and nicks birthdays coming up Tups will get a treat bless her,  My nick is in need of some dosh so will send him as much as i can
 

Wednesday 9 May 2012

Alone again - Naturally :(

Would have been my darts night - im missing it - i miss my friends :( but i have to remember i guess that they werent really my friends, like most others they used me . My so called best friend is staying neutral only so she gets the best of both worlds - ive always know she was a licker but i didnt think she would go this far - its the second time shes left me alone there wont be a 3rd !

Im trying to move on - looking at new things to do, but its hard when you have no one. Hubby is tired he works so hard most everyone i know does other things they have families my kids are grown and gone even my grandson teenager is to old now to keep nan company :(

Im tired - tired of being used, tired of all this pain, tired of being blamed for some thing i didnt do, im tired of losing those i care about - seems every thing i do is wrong 7 years of crap and being crapped on :(

Ive sooooooo had enough - i cant fight much longer , i cant keep being kicked and getting up for more i just cant. 
I some times think of Martyn and the choice  he made and can almost understand why, theres only just so many times you can get up.  Im tired of being sad 

Monday 7 May 2012

My mums birthday today so its been a very difficult day.

Ive moved on from my so called friend - deleted, i cant do other peoples rubbish and be treated like that, im not well enough to cope - but who cares about me  - I DO , i come first now like the song says  'got along without you before i met you gonna get along with out you now' painful but some thing that i need to do for me.

Got some work finished the final touches to the bathroom whooo well chuffed, now have blinds and the airing cupboard all finished doors done - a small amount of paint work and the shower but the shower was always secondary any way  hopefully it will be the next thing.

Another exhibit is 9th my niece has asked for paintings in the Bicester beer festival :) 


then and the end of the month is Chelsea's hen night which is now going to be really difficult as ' the so called friend' will be going :(  but ive paid my money - a lot of money and im not wasting it for her or anyone else ! i can go my own way if i have to 
 

Well thats it for now folks  its been a long weekend wet and boring hope the weather changes soon i need some thing to help me out here - i have no one to call on sadly no one there for me :(

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN MUM 
 

Saturday 5 May 2012

To renew from disappointment, sadness, pain and anger !

so I need to move on ... I keep trying, I do all I can to stay out of all this rubbish and someones pettiness just comes back and hits me in the face - I've reacted - I've not reacted, I've tried the calm, the discussions, the compromises, the ignore, the forget about it, the anger, the withdrawal, you name it, I've tried it and still I'm here worn and tired from all the pain and hurt people keep hurling at me. They go on about their business as usual having left me in a heap.

 I'm so disappointed in my so called  'friend' its really hurt me, and my other so called 'friend' is taking her side 'poor thing shes so upset' I guess I'm not??? 
I'm the one discluded from everything, its me that no longer plays darts. Its me that doesn't get to go out any more, its me that's lost out not her or them! 

But, putting all that rubbish aside, I'm still left with what to do to move on, get rid of this pain - leave all this behind me, I'm just so tired of this happening to me, why does everyone think they can treat me so badly and make it my fault?
 Guess I'm the hare :(

I keep moving on leaving and losing all I love - so here I go again  .

Im just bemused
warn down and battered, life just becoming to much to bear. I dont know how much more I can do ....

Wouldn't that be good ? I wish !!!!

Wednesday 2 May 2012

guess it must be me ?

I should have guessed really - even  just from my poor blogging stats does no one have any compassion ? can no one see all that ive been through that i still get treated badly by them?

My facebook friends are many but most dont participate with me much, some are people that know my family and remain loyal to them and me just because im part of that family . Other are people of people i know and dont really know ME.

Recently i lost 16lb (chuffed to bits by the way :)) its dampened by the fact my friend (who has same facebook friends ) has now lost 10 she got 12 likes i got 3 ?? what did she do that i didnt ?

Yeah i guess it must be me - but  why - im an easy going person, i help out any way i can any time ive rarely let anyone down if anything STUPIDLY, gone out my way, causing myself inconvenience.
 Ive listened to huge amounts of drunken and sober drama, crap and total drivell, ive advised, lent money, assisted, supported - done all i can for sooooooooo many people  you name it ive done it .. what do i get in return ???

I get nothing or i get blamed for their faults, wtf ??? how does that happen ??? 
what do i do wrong ?? why me?? what??!!!!

Was i wrong to say im not being used ? although that was only after my so called friend went to town on me over nothing :/ throwing up all sorts of rubbish , when i replied she didnt like it and IM THE ONE TO BLAME????? Then to top itm my other 'friend' (whose also been complaining ) is now licking, she still gets to enjoy the dart game i introduced her to, and 'my friends' and thinks its ok that im cast out! 
Just goes on as if nothing has happened - no support no loyalty if only the others knew her views were the same as mine ummmm ! but lucky her im not like them! And despite having no friends i dont want to be like them, i wouldnt ever be like that to anyone, deceitful, spiteful, using and abusing - no i would rather be on my own .

How much more unfairness do i have to take ?? - i didnt do anything!!!!!!!!!!  :( i give everyone my all, i never ask anyone for anything EVER :( i get little or nothing from anyone, ever ! not anyone!

Family are little different, so i guess its me - i dont know why - i cant change without knowing what wrong, how can i?? do i want to, i pretty sure i dont want to be like them so what would i have to be like?  Everyone is happy around me.  happy to take. happy to have me help. happy for me to support them, care for them  - just not happy to return any thing to me .

As things are, who will notice when im gone?? - few might take note not sure anyone would really care, at least not for long . I know i have no one in my life that will miss me, how sad is that but its ok, ive known for a long time. I guess this is the last straw you can only be kicked so many times eventually you stop getting up.

Its time for me to move away from all this - from all these people that continually hurt me, time for me to go.
Guess i will look at a life alone for now i know i cant trust anyone. 
So i depart from my 'dear friends' my family i still fight on for whether they want me or not, they are my responsibility and always will be. As for the rest i will be polite, i will keep my distance, im not destined to have close friends, i know now i couldnt trust them old or new. Old as they have already lost my trust, new because of the old ones, i could never trust anyone i dont know, how could i when the ones i have known intimately have continually let me down, betrayed me, hurt me - how could i trust anyone ever again??

So with heavy heart - tomorrow i start anew - It seems what ever i do is wrong so im expecting little to change but at least no one can blame me for their wrong doings too, all i will be doing in future will be done on my own.  
They say dont judge others till you walk in their shoes, well my shoes wore out along time ago - i dont know anyone who would have coped with the hurt loss and pain ive endured this last 7 years, so intense i almost didnt make it. But i move on now because ive not come this far to allow others to put me back there.

Oscar Wilde, The Ballad Of Reading Gaol
“The only good thing to do with good advice is pass it on; it is never of any use to oneself.”
Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband
“The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out.”
Oscar Wilde
“Men always want to be a woman’s first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about these things. What (women) like is to be a man’s last romance.”
Oscar Wilde
“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
“Yes, death. Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace. You can help me. You can open for me the portals of death's house, for love is always with you, and love is stronger than death is.”
Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost
