I've had a couple of bad days. Not on a personal level, but been getting bad news left right and centre.

Husband crashed the car on Friday morning. Have to admit my first thought when he rang me was f*k sake, not again! Admittedly it's been 6 years since someone totalled our car but I never forget, lol.

My friend's father was told he has terminal cancer 6 weeks ago. Last week he was taken into hospital with pneumonia but got home again a few days later. Feel helpless because her family are all in England and she's torn between her children and her dad at the minute. Husband has already said he'll take time off work so I can go to the funeral but the waiting is horrible.

I was speaking with another friend last night who's life has gone down the pan in a big way. So much so that he was telling me about all the ways he considered killing himself over the weekend. Including the 2 plastic bags still crumpled in the corner.  He promised me he's going to see a doctor today and wants to get help. I'm thinking about driving down later and checking that he has.

And in the midst of this I had another friend some online and start chatting to me. Because I was on the phone I didn't answer straight away and that was a fault. Logged on again this morning to a message telling me to delete her blah blah blah. I understand everyone has off days. I have more than most! But I'm not into childish games. I put up with a lot from my friends and I'm willing to forgive pretty much anything. But I'm fairly blunt too and believe in being upfront. And I'm meant to be catching up with her and a coupla other friends this weekend. That should be interesting!!

Life for me is ticking over as ever. Nothing to do and no money to do it anyway. Could be worse...
