[QUOTE="Mrs T 123, post: 2330141, member: 526020"] Strange day of emotions today - got my new uniform at work and felt strange - I now feel my old job has definitely gone and I can't believe where I am now and not sure I like it if I am honest - much preferred the salary that went with my old job that's for sure - although I am grateful I have got another job when so many haven't but like us all at the moment not sure what the future holds and I don't really like the feeling of not being in control ... but he ho we all just have to get on with things that we can't change and accept it ... Virtual hugs to [USER=455169]@shelley262[/USER] it's not easy being part of the sandwich generation (having both elderly parents and adult kids dependent on us and holding down a job) - I think that's what they call us nowadays - for me the last five years have been hard - my dad died over 3 years ago and was unwell for around the year before that and it was countless worry and hospital visits etc. and now it is only me and my brother (who is disabled) so I am the main carer for my mum also - btw similarly she has had her 2 eyes done too and her eyesight has improved tremendously. Hang on in there deep breaths, count to 10 and relax. Remember and make an appointment for/with me time for yourself - it is the best advice I have been given from a former colleague and I keep going back to it when the going gets tough - look after yourself and take care x [USER=496650]@zauberflote[/USER] Ok I admit it I am so jealous of your lovely weather - I have really missed my holiday in the sun this year - hopefully fingers crossed - all with be ok for next year! [USER=468536]@DJC3[/USER] My mum used to make the swede with the butter and pepper too - lovely - it is so awkward to cut is what puts me off it. [USER=25851]@Annb[/USER] love the Em stories - so sweet - keep them coming [/QUOTE]
