Good evening ladies and gentlemen...
firstly i must apologise for my last blog........it was unfair for me to off load on here it was wholly unappropriate...but i needed this so i could leave my brain here for a while........and get on with life in general without carrying around all the mess that been in my head.......the last blog i wrote on here has been deleted because i don't need to leave it here any more....let me explain......
In the last 2 years i have lost 2 sisters,a grandfather and am now about to loose another close relative.....and it takes its toll on me in the weirdest of ways....i know i was upset about something that happened,but with everything else that has been going on i just blew it out of proportion.....and just needed somewhere to store this thought for a while,so i could read it back when the bad time had gone....and as it turned out after i had left it here a while,re-read it it turns out that life hadn't really been that bad after all...But misery and worry hadn't helped me at all...(the problem was that i hit publish instead of save..and being a bit of a dink when it comes to computers i was mortified...)..and for that i apologise to all of you!!!
Now this christmas has been a bit thin to be honest...you see i ordered all the kids christmas presents on 26th of november 2010...and then after a week we had a massive flump of snow....and the british isles ground to a complete stop...which meant my parcel of presents were stuck somewhere in between the seller and me.....and even though its the 28th of december its still not here...so i had to make a few sacrifices( i sold both my sewing machines....) and made sure the kids got a few bits and peices i knew they would like for the big day.....number one daughter got alot of bits and peices and a solid silver charm bracelet...number one son got a new razor and a remote control car.and other bits..and number two son got a new ds game and lots of other little bits and peices...they were all happy with what they got...and know that the rest is on its way,and they will get them as soon as the post office have decided to deliver......its just a shame that things are as slow as they are...and from what i have seen the post office is only going to get worse......the post office are making more and more cuts,which means it can on;ly get worse for the customers...we used to get two postal deliveries a day and now we are lucky if we get on every other day.....when they go up for public tender i think this time UPS or DHL will get it...they could hardly do any worse than what we've gotten all ready...... The sad thing is that since we had the snow in the first week of december....we haven't had any more snow...all the roads from here to my postal destination are absolutley clear...but the post office are still insisting that they have a large and looming backlog........and yet their management reckon that it simply isn't true....But our postman has had to deliver the post in his own car because the post office have refused to give him a van for deliveries because they say the weather is too bad for them to use their own vehicles......(the truth is that the post office wanted to maintain the illusion of it being bad weather for a little while longer than was actually true.....)Not only that but our poor postie has now been told that after the next lot of posties retire thay won't be hiring any more permanent staff...which means the posties are on a hiding to nothing......
So i'm keeping my fingers crossed that my parcels might actually get here before the start of the new year...but i'm not holding my breath........i just have to keep the hope alive for a little while longer......and maybe later on in the year i might be able to afford another sewing machine....then i can get back to quilting and making clothes again...but for the timebeing i will have to quilt by hand,and the clothes making is simply a no-go....but i did itbecause i had to...my time will come again.......sooner or later.
