Elisa I have been thinking about your age a lot lately, was that my subconcious? trying to tell me something about your birthday? I hope you had a good day. Wow that was a week ago, where did the week go, seems like yesterday it was Halloween. No kids turned up, I did see some up the street. I wasn't still in the regional centre so glad I wasn't on the list for the younger kids who came around the street around 4.30 or so. I am still eating marshmellow eyeballs.
Apparently, if I read my sons message correctly he has decided to stay where he is, so I don't have to panic about where the other two of my children will live next year. I was waking up a little scared to be honest.
Last Thursday or Wed night I talked to two of my fb friends and Thursday night they got back together, have been apart for a few months. While I was shopping he talked to another friend too, and they had a small disagreement on the weekend, but are enjoying each others company very much. It was much like talking things through with my eldest children. I had no idea I had skills like that, it is the 2nd time, I also helped get a couple together. A couple of my friends aren't happy they are back together, but I couldn't see how they could go on the way they were.
Next Monday we have hamper deliveries just before shopping day, the day we are least likely to have food in the house that fortnight so that is excellent.

Wow, is it hamper time already?? Good timing with the delivery, plus they look like they'd be a lot of fun to open. It's lovely that you were able to help your friends sort out their problems, Br. I've always thought you'd be a good listener. We had one pair of littlies come to the door on Halloween. I think it was more organized this year; the kids stayed around the school. The leftover chocolate is all gone - we didn't have anything so cool as marshmallow eyeballs! Birthday ended up being a really good day. Had brunch with a friend and then went out (!) to dinner with some of the kids. Younger ds was away with work, as was dh. So it was eldest ds, his gf, dd and her bf. They were very nice company and the food was great, plus I didn't have to do anything! Yippee! Gorgeous day today, busy one tomorrow.

Thanks Elisa. In the past this friend I always talked about me, but I just listened when he was really down and it helped a lot apparently. It was good because when the other party talked to me I hadn't said anything bad about her, so it was all good, and I didn't fire up, maybe it helped her as well. I think it got around some things others may have said by not reacting to anything and just saying similar things that had happened to me from same person, maybe they realised it wasn't about them. Don't know.
