To everyone who has sent such uplifting messages and good advice. i can only say" Thank you form the bottom of my heart"

My flight was not without its' idiosyncrancies. I arrived at the air port, valencia with plenty of time and managed to people watch which is always interesting. Boarded the flight OK and found a comfortable seat by the window. Now this is one of only three journeys by E,,yJ,t so must not be to harsh but I maust say that in my view R..n A.r do a much better job. For example trolley came around with drinks but no plain water only fizzy water. No sandwhiches which caould be called palin and not many of those that they did have.!!
we arrived late at the airport due to bad weather, well cannot blame EJ for that and then had to stay in the plane for another 15 minutes because they had forgotten to send out transport from the plne to the main building, bu=y now we were running very late.
Thank goodness my care chap was still there waiting for me...I could have given him a hug.
finally got to flat at 01.10hrs and phone was ringing as OH very worried.

I thought it would feel strange being back here but actually it is OK. i have to buy some essentails milk etc but otherwise I feel that time will pass quickly and right now am not even worried about going to say goodbye.

Tess I am going to buy some of the Earl Grey tea as several people have mentioned it....just wish the the stomach BUG would go away and then I might feel as if i really am getting better. OH has called to say that he now has the same thing!!!

well enough from me so goodnight everyone and sweet dreams

Good to see you back here Bridget.

I am sure that yiu got on with at least some of the staff form your old place of work, as well of course the residents.

As long as you feel up to it, I am sure that it will be a good thing to say a proper good-bye to all these people.

Please take it easy, sorting the flat out. Don't overdo it. You don't want to hurt your back again.


I find that a little Earl Grey tea, can be helpful, when feeling a bit yuckie.
Can't usually manage a full cup. Still find it difficult not to clear my plate ( or finish my drink) as old habits die hard.
However, am begining to learn that sometimes "enough is enough"

So take it easy, Bridget and be good to yourself.


Tess

Hope your flight goes well Bridget, and I must say I agree with the others, go and say your goodbyes and that will be the end of the chapter.

Glad to-day is a bit better for you and after to-morrow hopefully things will be even better.

Look after yourself.


Val.

How I agree about leaving with my head held eye, i am even taking an extra smart suit with me.......

I feel somewhat calmer today, although still cannot eat anything as is has a terrible effect...maybe I will be better after tomorrow!!!

You have all been so supportive that for once i am short of words, but I think that you all realise how much you have helped.

Well i am going to try a weak tea as i ma thirsty and just hope it does not have any adverse effect, and I do not have to leave just yet.

Hope the weather is not to cold or wet near Hastings!!!

Bridget, good luck with the UK trip. I would go to say goodbye then you will 'close off' that episode. And the residents would probably like to see you and say goodbye.

Good morning Bridget and all
Hope your flight goes ok to UK Bridget. With regard to the invite to say your goodbyes - I think if I were you I would go and hold my head up high after all you have nothing to be ashamed of in actual fact it is the reverse.
How long will you be in UK for ? Not too long I hope.

We certainly have had some unusual warm weather this past week or so - we actually had a bbq on Sunday lunchtime. Just me and hubby and one of next doors cats who always knows when we are having a bbq !!

I will be returning to UK in March as my sister is off to Australia for 5 weeks and between my sons and a cousin we are looking after my mom. Hubby cannot come with me as he feels he cannot miss an opportunity, if it arises, of loosing a client who wants to buy property - as last year was so dismal on the sales front - so it will just be me. Youngest son did say yesterday he would pick me up from any airport and take me down to Cornwall - bless him.

Well off to do a little housework and then I am taking myself for a walk - really must get some fresh air and get shot of this cold/flu bug which wont leave me !!!

Take care all and hurry up back home Bridget.

Love Mary xx

A quick good morning and thank you for keeping the messages coming. Well today is the day I return to the UK. I am not looking forward to it but at least I will not be working, just cleaning the flat and then coming home again as soon as possible.

I have been invited by the owner to go back tomorrow to say goodbye to the residents and staff, and it seems churlish not to do so. Anyone have a view about this?

Enjoy your day everyone

How are things Bridget? You have been in my thoughts a lot.

We have had a couple of quite cool days which has been rather pleasant.
After a few weeks of quiet the builders are back across the road after their Christmas break..

Our house is on a corner plot at the intersection of two streets, last Thursday at about 6.30p.m. a car coming up the street failed to stop at the intersection and collided with another vehicle. I heard the loud bang and went out to see what had happened. Fortunately no one was seriously injured. I was asked to telephone the police which I did, expecting one vehicle, but oh my word, in a matter of minutes there were 6 police vehicles, 2 traffic police vehicles, four ambulances and a rescue
vehicle outside! This really amazed us as usually if someone tries to get the police to respond to a call the answer is "We have no vehicles available"

I have been busy painting some butterflies etc. on the top of my cement table which is outside, but the paint I am using doesn't seem to cover the pale blue I used to paint the surface very well and I have had to give 4 coats.

Back to the mundane things of life for me - the dishes, the washing!!

Take care.


Val.

I suspect they possible don't pay sick pay Tess.

Yes it worked Bridget. Well done.

Can you get a note from the doctor to say that you are not fit to work?

Will pm you.

Tess

Thank you all for posting. The sun is shining today and two sets of friends have called in today and persuaded me to go out for lunch so about eight of us are going to have good old fish and chips!

Mary, I have just tried what youcsuggested re changes so I await to see if it worked.

I hate benign so anxious all the time,

I long for February and coming home!

Keep well everyone

So sorry you are going through such a stressful time Bridget but you will get through it. Keep your chin up! Hope to-day is a better day for you.

It has been another hot day here. Although many visitors have already left, the town is still quite busy, I must say though it is much easier to fi9nd parking at the supermarket and the Mall.

Take care.

Love Mary xx

You're welcome and we will see you soon.

Ps just to say Thank you to anninglos

I promise you all I will be back and know that you will keep this baby of mine alive and well. I may be down but with friends like you all I will survive this and move on.
Thank you

I would say that bullying is an offence, they should look at what they are saying/doing and if they are looking at all your sites that you post on that is stalking and cyber stalking is, I believe also an offence.

Please please keep this going for me. I think I am going to change my id on here but cannot remember how to do so.!
Went out fo lunch today which was lovely but then had to rush back home, as became a little unwell again but it was great to be out of the house for a while.
Still very unsteady and fell off my revolving chair about 10 mins ago...all OK though.
Dear OH is looking after me so well I am lucky to have him. Have told him to go out and watch footie with his mates tonight as I am just not up to going out.
Am also going to change my email addresses etc as I rfeel vulnerable am I becoming paranoid.
Also using Spanish comp so cannot find all the correct keys yet, question marks etc.

Hope to hear from you all

Oh Bridget what a bunch of """""""""""" they are. Take a deep breath and do what you want to do.
Take care and stay sane
Love Mary xx

The final straw from the Ownwers of the place which I ghshall never write again have said that if i do not go back and fifnish my contracted tim which is last day being the 4th of Feb they will not pay nmme any money as I will have broken my contract!!!. I mean ...well no I had better noit write waht I mean in fact I had better not say any more. so dear froends for the next few weeks I shall be very quiet, I have even been told that a memebr of staff looks around my favourite sites to as what I am saying and then reports back...AM I IN THE MAD HOUSE, actually I have only had good support from you so I think someone is tryintg to cause trouble

Maybe I could just send persanl messages for a while. this is beginning to remind me of the film One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest... does anyone else remember this fantastic film.
