With out going into the depressing details I've got a lot of stress going on with my mum. Shes currently in hospital but also moving into a more suitable accommodation. I'm now needing to empty bin clean etc and move a flat that's been left to rot into something from a horror set to a better accommodation. She's in Liverpoolish im in Scotland.
I've been worried about the amount of work I've to do.
I've a group of 4 mates ive known from as far back as primary school and some from uni etc. They all know each other through me. We're all into Cars and odd ball engineering
We Keep in touch but i moved 230miles away. I msged them today and ive had 3 lots of offers of help to sort some of the crap out.
Made me feel slightly less shit about the ongoing carnage.
So remember folks, friends are good. Be nice and if you get a chance help a friend.
Ciao.
I can only agree. The support I have from my friends both IRL and my imaginary internet friends this last couple of years has been awesome. I do not know how I would have coped without it and I know I can phone a number of folk anytime if I need support
Cheers tj. Fully agree made some genuinely good mates from on here too. Which is good as sometimes you need either a different perspective or a load of unrelated bollocks to discuss.
my heads genuinely fallen off with dealing with my mum. I'm actually angry as its all been avoidable. Cos I'm so angry ive no sympathy which makes me feel worse.
Cheers
brill. there's that whole thing of 'define good friend' and I think you've nailed it.
I have a decent group of friends, some from primary school (which wasn't yesterday) - about 3-5 *really good* friends; secondary school (add a few more into that mix), uni much less so, and then work, early MTB adventures, from the local area (add a few more), and a handful from on here - some of whom I've actually met...
That's a greta relief in getting your mum's flat sorted. Priceless.
Agreed, and it helps to be able to serve someone else. I have supported a good friend the last three years following sh*t you would not believe in life - he is in Lancaster and I am in Scotland. It has been somewhat cathartic and positive to have to walk some of the walk with him and be there when he needed someone.
and also remember that friends love to help in the same way you would love to help them. It's too easy to refuse because you think it's inconvenient for them and we are Brits. If you would do it for them then let them do it for you (I say this as someone who finds it very difficult indeed)
very much so leffeboy.Â
To echo Leffeboy - I remember once my van broke down in the middle of town during biblical rain so phoned a good mate with a car trailer to ask if he could rescue me. He left his work early, drove home for his trailer and drove 25 miles into town to pick me and the van up. Got back to my place and after unloading the van we're both standing there soaked through with me thanking him profusely with offers of money for fuel etc. "Don't be silly" he said - "You'd do the same for me". And he was right
