Re: Feeling sad & lonely at Christmas
Thanks guys, much appreciated...
I was feeling poopy this morning, but had a great time at our Perth ladies meet
Think I will focus more on the kids this year and try to put all notions of sentimentality to the back of my mind!

What about...
good king wenceleslas looked out...
of his bedroom winder...
Silly bugger he fell out....
on a red hot cinder...
brightly shone his arse that night...
though the frost was cruel...
neighbours gathered 'round the sight....
as they all ate gruel......

Re: Feeling sad & lonely at Christmas
Anyone needing to vent and steam at things festive then please feel free to visit the thread in Lounge (edit ... someone has moved it ... 
) I posted for this purpose:
http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270983
There still seems to be a warm and festive welcome in there so don't be a stranger to the strangeness
In the meantime Merry Christmas to all on the path (and the trolls who have kept me entertained!), may your break be a peaceful one.

Re: Feeling sad & lonely at Christmas
hiya,
I know exactly where you are coming from, however this year I have really put life into perspective.maybe it is because like bundys mum, my dad is fighting cancer ( and not doing too good) I also have a dear friend who is very poorly in hospital, so I am just counting my blessings. i am a long way from 'my family', but am alive with a good future. please dont take this as a criticism of your post, as it wasnt meant that way!!!!!!!

When I came home yesterday hubby said she had gone on about her "dying wishes", which were very mainpulative and it's all done my head in! My poor dad must be going nuts, I'm more concerned for him as he had a stroke earlier this year and needs to take it easy. So, I'm not feeling very Christmassey and all that
sorry to here about your mum Larissa
i lost my mum died before newyears eve 11 years ago this newyear and she use to be always compaining about ill health to the point we all use to iggnore her moans and whinges till one day it was all for real and we thought it was a nouther one off her moments as we all called them next thing we all knew she was gone but anough off my life hope your mum gets well soon and dont let her get you down rember we only have one mum and when she is gone that is when we miss them the most
