We're not forecast to get the rain towards the east coast.

I'm half contemplating going out litter picking in my jammies, though. There's some clattery cans (or Christmas lights, more likely) doing my head in. Did add to the dismal atmosphere when I was catching up on The Bridge, tonight, mind

(04 Dec 2015, 11:48 pm)BusLoverMum wrote They put out the warning for high sided vehicles not to cross about 5pm because gusts were already hitting 80mph and told people not to cross it at all for non-essential journeys. There's always numpties who ignore these warnings, though. (Even when the snow gates are down)

All i can hear is rubbish flying down the street, its all over my garden.... 

Idiots who ignore warnings like that, is the ones who cause serious accidents.

And the ones who end up having to be pulled out of 4' snowdrifts. They should be charged for the rescue.

Ye they should, i think some people do it to look cool though.

Has War been declared on So-Called Republic of Fencehouses...

Sorry...I could not help dragging up an old joke for my own simple amusement

Aye, heard that too.
There have been a few go over recently. Not as many as when there were exercises from Leeming a few months back like.

Fencehouses is still standing . Went through not too long ago this morning.

Newcastle have finally won something!

No, i'm not referring to the 2-0 win over Liverpool, Vicky Pattison has just been crowned Queen of the Jungle on I'm a Celebrity.

Think everyone wanted her to win because she's a Geordie.

I wanted George to win.

As much as I like Vicky, she came across as fake in I'm a Celeb... Although she kept on repeating "This is me, this is what I am really like" throughout, there was a significant difference in her personality in I'm a Celeb compared to Geordie Shore, Ex on the Beach and Judge Geordie.

George, in my opinion, came across as more genuine, and he was there from the start too.

This will be an excuse to use stating the X36 is a money maker.

Pack it in already, I'm sure that Metro sent me an email earlier saying that tickets were being accepted on GNE and SNE services in the area.

At least I'm not the only person like that.

Just found out that a mate and his partner were on 3863 when it caught fire. Thankfully they are ok.

Aye, from that eyewitness report, it's a good thing that everyone gt off quickly.

And increases my resolve to sit downstairs, even if I get looks from pensioners when my knees aren't up to the stairs.

Just need to vent a bit

Well...

We now know the arrangements for the hardest day and biggest test I have ever faced...

23rd December when my beautiful little sister gets her send off...My mam said there was no way she wanted to do it on Xmas Eve and I agree with her...

This is a moment in time that will determine how I end up, I am playing Russian Roulette with my own life through my addictions...

Anyway, I want to say thanks again to my NEB brothers and Sisters...Many members from here have contacted me on Facebook...Some may be whiny little times but I cant say anything bad about anyone on this occasion

All I can say is that if you can find anyone to lean on for support, then forget any idea of keeping a stiff upper lip and internalising your grief. Am I right in thinking (and hoping) that you must have developed some contacts and built up a bit of a support network over the years? At the very least, go talk to your GP about the dark, dangerous place that your grief is dragging you into. Even if you can't see the point in staying out of self destruct mode for yourself, right now, then do it for your sister and anyone else who is already devastated by what happened to her. Think of it as not letting that asshole of addiction get both of you x.

Pah - I replied in the wrong box

I was out shopping with my mam earlier getting my birthday present ans cake, and I saw one of my old teachers from primary school, she noticed me straight away, it took me about five minutes to realise who she was.

I have just been laughing all day about my sister, dragging up memories of her, being a straight talker, she would say what she thought, would not beat around the bush, she was quite sly as well, if we were being naughty, she would stop just in time to see me get wrong and she would get away with it

She also had a habit of borrowing things and never give them back, that went on for years...

She could be aggresive and very defensive, she would not ever admit to that saying 'I'm not agressive, I am assertive' if she went on the offense, she could destroy you and she once unfriended me and blocked me on Facebook for about 5-6 weeks all because I put a picture of me and her on FB and I tagged it, my life wiuld not be worth living if she seen the last photo we had taken on facebook...She was wise beyond her 32 years, there was a kind of role reversal in our house, in that she would keep my mam in check when it should have been the other...

As I owed her 25 quid, I can imagine when I goto Heaven, she will tell St Peter 'If he hasn't got my 25 quid, dont let him in'

So I am getting through the day, remembering the person she was, the personality and attitude she possessed, it is starting to put a halt to my game of Russian Roulette with my own mental health...

I watched Jezza Kyle: Text Santa Special this morning... i wish i didn't, have to admit i cried through it... makes me realise how lucky i am.

That poor young mam who had twins and both of them got Leukemia within a year of each other, i wouldn't know how to cope...

I love stuff like this, shows that people care and everyone who works in the Health service and so many other teams around the country, help so much and they don't get enough praise for it.
