she says the “feeling” is gone and she can’t get it back

I think that says it all – and it may be that she actually wants you to make the decision to make the break.

I do sometimes wonder if we’re really meant to spend all our lives with one person – maybe a marriage licence should only last for a few years, and then have to be re-newed?
Mind you, my parents reached their 60th anniversary last March 🙂

Who you calling a saddo? There’s nothing wrong in staying in with a couple of bottles of cider then early to bed 🙂
On my own of course.

Home alone, and early to bed, no doubt. Not really any point staying up to midnight on your own. And it’s just yet another **** year!

No.
Well, bugger off to the other thread then 😉

Ah… I have more bikes than handbags too – but I’m a big softie at heart 🙂

Aaawww – that’s so sweet.
(hope I’ve got a tissue in my pocket…)

A Crock Pot from my son, and far more money than I expected from the parents – they’re worried I can’t afford heating at home!

I got a Garmin from Trekkinn, same company, just took a little while to arrive, think they’re based in Spain?

Why build it now? As a kid I’d have loved helping my Dad build it on Christmas Day.

You’ve got to do the canal under Spaghetti Junction, and Aston Locks up to Gas Street Basin.

Definitely would send my best wishes to our Liz – my 91 year old mum was in hospital for a couple of days earlier this week with heart problems – fortunately not serious so we’re lucky and have her home for Christmas.

My parents are only mildly irritating – mainly cos they’re both always in the way and can’t move out of the way quick enough for me.
S’pose I have to make allowances due to their age, Dad is late eighties and Mum is early nineties!
Never mind, my son will be here to annoy us all tomorrow (no not really, he’ll be doing the washing up).
I think I’m pretty lucky with my family really.

Successful? Nah, I’m generally a failure 😕

Work eh? It’s a bugger – why is it that an enjoyable job equals low pay, and a not so enjoyable job equals high pay? A sweeping generalisation I know, but it seems to hold true so often. It’s so very hard to find something you really like that also pays enough to live on!
I’m so broke that I had to apply for a Debt Relief Order, but I love my job, and really, really wouldn’t want to go back to working in an office – not that anyone would want me at my age 😕

Nice one, buttercup – how lovely to read of someone so happy in their job 😀

Aww, she looks so gorgeous! Well done all of you! I’m sure you’ll have an amazing Christmas.

If I get the chance, I just tell drivers how they scared me to death, and that I thought they were going to knock me over. Usually takes the wind out of their sails.
This approach may work better coming from me as a female, rather than a six-foot, well built bloke!

My ex-husband’s brother used to be a 2000AD artist – probably my only claim to fame, if it’s even that 😕

Where? In my car – but you can get a cassette adaptor for an iPod 🙂

Or record your own cassettes – you will of course still have a cassette recorder in your hi-fi system and some blank cassettes? No? Just me then? 😳

Wish I earnt a grand a month – think I have less than £200 a month to spend on food/drink/clothes after bills are paid – that has to include any petrol too, so the car doesn’t get used very often. Who needs new clothes anyway – apart from the odd new bit of cycle clothing of course.

These people are really good
I’ll second that – I had lots of debt, and don’t earn very much, so ended up with a Debt Relief Order, wipes out all debts after a year – ****’s up any possibility of credit, but that’s a good thing 🙂
And if my washing machine breaks – there’s always hand washing!

Chocolate buttons.
There’s no way you can call those “crap” food!! 🙂
Me, I love a big Mac – about twice a year.

Was going to make it a boyz own thing…

Oh… 🙁

Complete failure here – but that’s how I’ve been feeling about my life the last few weeks 🙁
I really ought to try again – maybe I need something to twiddle and suck on?

Bloomin eck, you’re all breeding on here!
But congratulations! 😀 😀

sharki, that just sounds like a wonderful day 🙂

Man flu? I’d expect you to be able ride at least 50 miles then.

Errrm, if you’re old enough, Saga contents insurance can include named bikes for not a lot extra.

I went for simple names for my kids – my daughter is Ruth Elizabeth – you can have either of those, I’m sure my Ruthie won’t mind.

For a snake, that actually is quite cute.

It’s been in 30 minutes, it’s scored, it’s salted, there’s a load of juice running out from where it’s been scored and it smells amazing.

In the absence of any more reports, do we assume it’s still in the oven, and now, errrm, slightly more than crisp?

No tips, but if you need any help with eating it…
(looks in empty freezer, then checks purse – also empty )

Aaawww, a baby 😀
Congratulations!!

I’m struggling to remember my prezzies – it was a little while ago.
I do remember getting roller skates and a watch one year – I was surprised to get two “big” prezzies! I still have the watch, and being a proper wind up watch, it still works. I have a feeling the roller skates may still be in my parent’s garage – my kids used them when they were younger.
I also remember having a Sindy doll and being disappointed ‘cos I wanted a Tressy – y’know, the one who’s hair grew when you turned a button in her back.

I realise I am very lucky to have such lovely parents as mine. I really hope they last a few more years yet – Mum’s 91 and Dad’s 87, both are still as intelligent and quick witted as they’ve always been, but they are both somewhat pissed off that their bodies are starting to fail a bit!

I think you already have your answer – by being aware of how you appear.

I wonder if my kids view me the same as Stoatsbrother views his mum? 😕
Although I must add I’m neither 79 nor 5ft.
