Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

I suspect that that is totally incorrect Anj - regardless you are a lovely person - I'll never forget the time that you and Sassy took to provide Messy with text updates on the match.

It really isn't but you are very kind. ? ? We've booked to go on a cruise next October with some friends- never been on a cruise so I need to get my act together and lose some weight. 10 months to do it. Hence the gym, and the healthy eating will start after New Year.

Good morning all. Happy birthday @jazzy Hope you have a lovely day. I'm going to the gym at 7 am. I am therefore clinically insane.

You shall be proud of yourself, Ange. Exercising is not always easy and it can hurt like hell but the feeling of accomplishment after you are done along with the benefits you get out of it, it is worth the pain and sacrifice. So keep it up. Xx

Yeah he sounds like he was a top bloke. I have a condition that is basically untreatable without huge huge risks of becoming a quadriplegic so I have to live with it the best I can, it gets hard and I live on my own so don't get to ask people to do things for me.

It also stops my mental health from fully recovering and so i feel like I go around in circles, it doesn't matter how good I feel upstairs, chronic pain will always win that battle. I feel like someone has blasted my calf with a shotgun today lol got to laugh haven't ya ffs lol

I’m sorry to hear about your condition, mate. I can’t even phantom the pain that you must endure every day. Like others have already mentioned we are here for you, even if it is to vent for a minute and get some encouragement from us. You may be alone at home but here you are accompanied by us. Xx

You're amongst friends here mate so if you're having a bad pain day you harp on about it all you want and you will be awash with cyber tea and sympathy with sideshows that includes recipes, holiday snaps, Glasgow kisses, drinks called orgasm, visits to the gym, walks on the beach, performing pets, to name but a few, what other thread on here gives you that variety?

Our topics are indeed diverse and quite entertaining. Yesterday my hubby kept wondering about all the laughs and giggles I was doing while reading Messy’s thread.

Morning messketeers!

My last day in work so the chrimbo jumper is getting worn - nothing says merry Christmas more than me looking even more of a Berk than usual!

Few last minute bits to get for my two little "angels", who have somehow now added a couple of presents that they desperately need, when we visited Santa in his grotto (but haven't mentioned all smegging year!) and I think we're all good!

Really looking forward to the break, it's been a bit of a year.

Have a boss day everyone.

Dear, Nath. Enjoy your break. After a rough year hopefully at least having a few days off to relax and to enjoy the happiness your two little “angels” will feel when opening their Christmas gifts will bring some comfort to your heart. Xx

I’m sorry man, that sounds like a very uncomfortable position between a particularly rocky rock and a very hard place for you to be in.

I’ve had reasonably short bouts of chronic pain through injuries and stuff enough to have the merest glimmer of an idea of what you must be going through and for you to be able to crack a smile, let alone laugh certainly makes you a far better man than I.

I hope you’re able to find some relief from somewhere. I’m not good for much but if chatting crap on a forum helps your situation in any way, you know where I am; that’s one thing I excel at!

Afternoon all,

Finished with work now until New Year, so looking forward to some family time at Christmas.

Been to M&S this morning to pick up a turkey crown and a few other bits and bobs. Don't know what it is about Christmas food shopping, but some people get a bit frantic and overwrought, whizzing around like they're on something. I just plod along at my own pace, chuckling to myself occasionally. There's probably someone posting on another forum about the madman who was chuckling to himself in M&S.

Hope you all have a good day.

Enjoy your break and time with the family @Bluetintedspecs but could you explain to me what is turkey crown and what are you doing with it?

Morning all, hope everyone is well. Congratulations on surviving the gym Anj. Welcome @Terrarian. Hope you will find you are amongst friends. I had an experience yesterday, which for once in my life, left me lost for words. We have lived next door but one to our neighbour for over forty years. Over the years she and her late husband became honorary “uncle and auntie “ to our children and lately grandchildren. Although her grandson visits and shops for her the rest of the family can’t or won’t help so we do what we can for her. We enjoy helping her out so it’s not a chore. She‘s 86 and has recently had various health issues which have caused her to as she put it “sort out some things”. She gave me her ruby and diamond ring to remember her by, I was overwhelmed and so wanted to hug and kiss her but of course I couldn’t. Bless you, Blanche and I hope you are with us for a long while yet.

Dear, Janette, what a lovely gesture by your neighbour. But Blanche’s deed speaks very highly of you, and how much you and your family must mean to her. So it seems her jewelry were given to a gem of a person. Xx

Our Santa was behind a perspex screen, all very Hannibal lecter tbh, think the two kids are traumatised.

Don't forget offal, saunas, music, birds and other wildlife, guitar making, the dulcet tones of the Northern Irish accent, chicken puns, fish puns, neighbours urinating in their garden and knicker inspecting nuns.

Oh, and my bowel movements.:)

Seriously though mate. Look after yourself.
 
Terrarian said:
Oh yeah I've been through the lot, I goto a pain clinic but they're not great to be honest and always miss my appointments by months so I still live half the time without my treatment. The one thing I don't get help with though is mental health side of it due to living with chronic pain.

I forget what not hurting feels like. It gets you down waking up wondering if you can walk far that day or are my headaches going to be horr3endous today, it sucks and in my opinion 20 years too early in life to be having these problems lol
