Hi everyone and a happy new year to you!
I am sorry but I really feel like having a bit of a whinge. Like most people when the new year comes along you hope that it is going to be better than the year before.
The last three years have been pretty awful, Mum was treated for breast cancer, father in law had a heart attack in front of me, My brother's marriage fell apart Christmas 2005 (his ex wife was a psycho and ended up with an exclusion order) and he had meningitis twice 2006 and ended up in hospital for 14 weeks over Christmas and new year 2006/7. At the same time as my brother's first attack of meningitis, our cousin's vehicle was hit on the motorway by a drunk lorry driver and almost died! then in Jan 2007 when we had all the storms my uncle was paralysed when a roof blew of a house on a construction site and paralysed him. Whilst in hospital they found he too had cancer but was too advanced to treat. The one saving grace is that he cannot feel anything below the chest!
So that was all pretty pants really. My brother is now in a wheel chair and I was diagnosed with lupus. 2008 was a naff year for me I had to reduce my hours at work as I was falling apart at the seams. Just whe I thought everything was starting to get better, all the "equipment" at home started to go knackered, first my husbands computer then my laptop, then my husbands computer again, followed by the TV, then in december just before christmas my Oven went wrong, followed by my laptop AGAIN!
So I thought 2009 would be a New year, new start sort of thing and was feeling really positive! How wrong was I. I am up in Lancashire visiting my disable brother and his children and my blasted car got Keyed outside his house on new years day! Coicidentally his girlfriends car has had the tyres "messed" with too!
I have a reasonably good idea who may have done it but cannot prove anything, so as well as paying out for a new damn laptop I will need to have my car re-sprayed. Unfortunately the damage is too deep to just T-cut and polish over!
Sorry to be so negative at the begining of the new year, but really it's about time something "positive" happened or am I just being rediculous. I suppose it could be worse, my mother is still alive although she is trying her best to smoke herself into oblivion (you would think that having had cancer and both her father and now her younger brother dying of the disease she would give up). My father in law survived only because my husband just happened to be able to use a defib), my brother now has a really nice girlfriend - mother doesn't like her prob because she stands up to her) and my cousin survived but has had emotional problems and mood swings ever since. My hubby has also been threatened with reundancy twice, luckly he has survived both!
I realise the cup is way more than half full (I suppose) but it's a case of what the heck is next, how much more!
Sorry to be a whinge bag

One thing keeps happening after another. We still have lupus bothering us the whole time.
