All this talk of Mandy's water ......................... Perhaps shes thinking of bottling it and selling it for a good luck charm.

I keep saying it Mandy I believe!!! so it will make it so if you believe enough ain't that right? :-))) Pat x

Yippee that's good Mandy feeling it in her water must make it so then. I need a better year PLEASE!!! I can't wait for this year to disappear. I shall not wallow in my misfortunate year, I don't want to talk about it all either, just to say it has been the worst one of my life. I shall look forward to a brighter better year ahead you & me both Heather we shall have a GREAT year, just believe it will be. And trust Mandy's water ;-))) Pat x

**news flash **news flash Heather finally lost it shot Pig Local butcher cured him now being consumed in a buttie

I know you've had a rotten year and I really do feel for you. I know nothing can bring your dog or dad back, but I really hope things turn around and you have a wonderful 2006. If anyone deserves it, you do. Jan PS - any more news on pig?

Mandy - ew!

Hi Heather! I've had a bum year too (can I say that? lol) Bring on 2006 I say, although i've a feeling I will be having a sad event next year too. Hope you are bearing up. Take care, Joan xxxxxxxx

Ive had a crappy year too. 2 Bereavements, suffered from depression etc etc etc! One was my Grandad dying a few days after New Year, and the other was my friend who commit suicide in June. so a very crappy year!

Thanks guys, I went out to our little town for some retail therapy - not big time, some nice home cured ham and a cooked chicken from our brilliant butcher (he still has the old cottage and you have to get in through a latch door!) and some bits from the charity shop for son to wear to work, chrissie cards, a lovely squeaky big furry toy for Ralphs christmas present (that will take some hiding). So I am feeling more cheerful now (after blubbing again over all your kind messages). I hope we all have a better year next year and I am so very very grateful to all you being there for me.

Heather, sos orry that life has got you down this year. You have had a rough time of it, I can only hope that 2006 will be better for you. I can't really add to what jess has said, she speaks a lot of sense. Is it really not possible to get some respite care for your son? Don't feel bad about putting your feelings on here, look how you have opened up a thread for others to also speak about their bad year. I hope each and every one of you has a happier 2006 and those who have problems I hope they find solutions to them. On the person who has a go at you on here, I know it is easier said than done but the best way really is to ignore them, don't respond, don't fight back, just pretend they are not there.

Heather I hope your wish comes true and next year is a better one and a big (((hug))) to help Howardxx

Great big hug for you Heather - and another for anyone else who's going through the mill at the moment. Dianne xx

Hugs to you Heather. I can't believe someone off the boards would be so insensitive to want to upset you. louise xx

Heather don't feel bad - you can only go on being strong for so long, then you just have to give in for a while until you can do it again. I know exactly how you feel as I am there myself right now. Thank goodness we can all support each other on here. Maz. XX ps let me know if someone has a go at you and I will go round and beat them up!

Heather - I'm sure 2006 will be a much better year for you! Have had a rough 2005 too but I've survived and I hope that as a result I will have a happier and fufilling new year. Hang on in there, love becx

Hi Heather, Sorry your feeling down.Hope things improve for you next year. Heather x

Thanks for all your kind replies. I am feeling very guilty about putting this on now, but as no doubt you all have to, putting on a brave face all day when you feel so absolutely **** is very tiring and I just wanted a moan. Forgive me all of you who are struggling even more than me to cope. Most people on here are absolutely terrific, this is my little refuge away from the world.

Hi Heather I can't really add to what Jess has said except, whoever the sad person is, please try and feel sorry for them. They must be very unhappy people and looking at it like that may help you to feel better about it. Wishing you a much better 2006. Also wishing the same for Donna, BC, Maisie, Phillip, Mary, Maz and anyone else who has had an awful year. Chrissie xx

Heather you are not alone in wanting to write off 2005 and make a fresh start next year. Mum had a heart attack and lost her cat (companion of 20 years), I split with my husband, then on the day he moved out we had a leak that flooded our house, 3 separate illnesses/accidents in in-laws family etc etc etc!! Will be so glad to see 2006 arrive! Maz (who is trying to be positive but not doing very well at the moment!) XX
