"IS FEBRUARY GOING TO BE THE SAME"

 
                              
                 
            
           Thanx to Winivere for this great graphic she made for  me.                                 
 
 
WELL THIS YEAR FOR ME HASN'T SET OFF TOO GOOD  EVERY WEEK THERES SOMETHING GONE WRONG..
 
FIRST THOSE COWBOY  BUILDERS BANGING MY WINDOWS AND DROPPING DUST ON.
 
ALL MY  NEW STAIRCASE CARPET  PLASTER DUST GRIME EVERYWHERE.
 
ALSORTS OF DEBRI THEY DROPPED UP AND DOWN FROM THE EMPTY FLAT UP THERE.
 
THEN CAME MY ELECTIC TRIP SWITCH IT DIDN'T KNOW WHEN TO STAY ON.
 
EVERYTIME I USED MY NEW COOKER TO BAKE THE ELECTRIC WAS GONE.
 
I WAITED FOR AN ELECTRICIAN AND WAS UNABLE TO COOK.
 
WAITED SO LONG I THOUGHT HE MUST HAVE TAKEN HIS FLIPPING HOOK .
 
SO FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT A HOT MEAL FOLKS AS I DON'T LIKE MICROWAVES.
 
REALY WAS SO ANNOYING TO ME I WENT INTO LOTS OF RAVES.
 
THEN BELIEVE IT OR NOT FRIENDS OTHER BAD THINGS HAVE ALSO  HAPPENED TOO.
 
SOME DAYS I HAVN'T  KNOWN WHERE TO TURN OR REALY WHAT TO DO..
 
THIS LITTLE FLAT I HAVE BY THE SEASIDE IT'S  ALL GOT TOO MUCH FOR ME.
 
I BELIEVE BROUGHT MY DEPRESSION BACK  ON NOTHINGS GONE  RIGHT YOU SEE.
 
WELL I GOT UP THIS SATURDAY MORNING AND THE WEATHER WAS BITTERLY  COLD.
 
MY CENTRAL HEATING WOULDN'T WORK THEN AND THE BOILER IS NOT VERY OLD.
 
IT'S QUITE A NEW ONE ABOUT EIGHTEEN MONTHS LIVID STOOD LIKE FROZEN ICE.
 
MADE ME REALISE WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THE HEAT WHICH WE HAVE IT'S SO NICE.
 
IN THIS BITTER FREEZING  WEATHER I TRIED MY BEST TO GET THE BOILER TO FIRE.
 
BUT NO IT WAS HAVING NOTHING SO NO HOT WATER TO WASH MY SPARE TYRE.
                                                                                                      (MINE NOT THE CARS ) HE-HE.
 
I HAD AN EMERGENCY NUMBER TO RING TURNED  OUT  WAS AN ANSWER PHONE.
 
WHATS THE POINT OF THAT MY FRIENDS IN EMERGENCIES KNOWONE AT HOME .
 
SO THIS WEEKEND HAS NOT BEEN A PLEASANT ONE I HAVE WRAPPED UP IN LOTS TO KEEP WARM.
 
THERE LONG ENOUGH DAYS WITHOUT BEING COLD  WHEN I'M UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.
 
YES I DO HAVE SOME ELECTRIC HEATERS BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE TO RUN.
 
AND MY LAST ELECTRICTY BILL WAS ENORMOUS SO JANUARY HASN'T BEEN MUCH  FUN.
 
THE WASHER IT BOILS IT'S BACKSIDE OFF EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.
 
AND MY COOKERS FOREVER ON THE BOIL AND COMPUTER FOR ME TO PEEK.
 
I HAVE LOTS OF TABLE LAMPS WHICH I LIGHT UP AS THE DAYS HAVE BEEN SO DARK TOO.
 
ALL THESE GADGETS TAKE MONEY TO RUN THEM BUT HELP  ME FROM FEELING BLUE.
 
WELL NOW THE GAS BOILERS PLAYING IT'S TRICKS AND IT STARTED ON SATURDAY.
 
I AM HOPING AND PRAYING THAT FEBRUARY ISN'T GOING TO GO THE SAME WAY.
 
I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE KILLED A ROBIN NO LUCK AT ALL JUST OF LATE.
 
YOU ALL KNOW THAT LAUGHING KATH DOESN'T LIKE TO BE MISERABLE IT'S SOMETHING I HATE.
 
THERES MANY THINGS ELSE THAT HAVE HAPPENED FAR TOO MANY TO MENTION IN HERE.
 
SO I'M ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR THE FIRST TIME MY FRIENDS AS I KNOW YOU ARE ALL SO DEAR.
 
THEN MAYBE THINGS MIGHT TAKE A TURN AND I CAN START LAUGHING AGAIN.
 
INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO WRITE MISERABLE THINGS AS FOR  ME THIS  IS SUCH A PAIN.
 
I AM SAT HERE NOW IN MY DRESSING GOWN WRITING THIS RHYME TO  POST.
 
WITH A HOT CUP OF CHOCOLATE AND THREE OR FOUR SLICES OF LOVELY HOT BUTTERED TOAST.
 HE-HE.
 
I BINGE WHEN I AM SO MISERABLE SO MY DIET HAS GONE WITH THE WIND .
 
WHICH I SAID I WOULD START IN JANUARY ALL THE SLIMMING FOODS I HAVE BINNED.
 
HE-HE.
 
WELL I CANNOT KEEP WARM ON SALADS AND FRUIT  I NEED SOMETHING GOOD IN MY TUM.
 
ANYWAY I CARN'T BE BOTHERED NOW IV'E LOST INTEREST IT'S  ALRIGHT FOR SOME.
 
SO WISH ME LUCK WILL YOU PLEASE J/LAND AND LETS HOPE THINGS  PICK UP SOON.
 
OR I MIGHT BE MOVING OUT ONE NIGHT BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON .  HE-HE.
 
LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE AS THIS PLACE DOESN'T SEEM LUCKY FOR ME.
 
NOTHINGS GONE RIGHT SINCE I MOVED TO THE COAST AND TO LIVE HERE BY THE SEA.
 
I KNOW I MAKE YOU ALL LAUGH AT TIMES AND  I LOVE TO DO THAT EVEN SO.
 
WHEN TIMES ARE BAD AND NOTHING IS RIGHT AND THINGS THEY DON'T SEEM TO GO.
 
SMOOTHLY FOR ME I'M A FIGHTER BUT I FEEL OF LATE ALLS TOO MUCH.
 
IT GETS TO THE HEART OF ANYONE WHEN EVERYTHING  GOES WRONG AS SUCH.
 
OH WELL I WILL SIT AND WAIT FOR THE GAS MAN AND SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
 
I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARTS FOR THE BOILER ANOTHER DAY.
 
MY WASHING IS PILING UP SKY HIGH AND I DO THIS DAILY YOU SEE.
 
I ALSO CARN'T COPE WITHOUT A BATH OR A SHOWER WITH MERMAN HE-HE.
 
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T LNOW MERMAN HE'S A GRAPHIC WHICH RUSS DREW FOR ME.
 
AS I LOVE MERMAIDS HE THOUGHT A MERMAN WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE HE-HE.
 
IT IS BITTERLY COLD AND I'M FROZEN THROUGH HYPERTHYROIDISM I SUFFER WITH.
 
WITHOUT ANY  HEATING I'M SHIVERING BADLY AND I FEEL I AM READY TO GIVE.
 
UP ON MYSELF FRIENDS AT THIS TIME SO TRY  SAY A PRAYER FOR ME PLEASE.
 
THAT ALL THESE THINGS WHICH  KEEP HAPPENING TO ME WILL SOON GO AWAY AND EASE.
 
I HAVE HAD A BARROW LOAD JUST LATELY NOT  MENTIONING ALL OF THEM.
 
I KNOW YOU WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I AM MISERABLE AND A MOANING OLD  "MOTHERHEN ".
 
SO I'LL CLOSE NOW AND WISH YOU ALL A GOOD DAY  UNTIL I AM BACK NEXT TIME.
 
HOPING I'M HAPPY WARM AND LAUGHING AND  WRITiNG MORE  " MY SIMPLE RHYMES "
 
 
         
  Thanx to Chris of Cab's Creations for this lovely graphic.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope the gas man turns up and sorts out your heating.
Try not to let it get you down too much, spring is just around the corner. I'm sure things will seem much brighter when it arrives.

I will be praying for you dear friend.  May the dear Lord bless you with only good things to come.  I know from experience that when it rains it pours so maybe now all will be right for you. Try to keep some good thoughts and hang in there.  They say that when things are the darkest that is just when the tide will turn.  I love your rooster you put in your post today. He is a bright spot of sunshine for sure. Here is a (((hug))) for you and lots of wishes that things will go your way.  'On Ya' - ma

Dear Kath so sorry to hear you have had more troubles I will put in a good word for you tonight.   If you possess a fleece jacket get it on it will  make all the difference. We have to keep our heating low for me with my flushings so in between I wear mine.  Hope by the time you read this all will be fixed. Love Joan.

You really shouldn`t be without heat Kath, that is an emergency especially at this time of year, surely your landlord is liable to get something done quick smart. Take care my friend and I hope things will be put right quickly.

Love & hugs

What d'you mean "Won't like me when I'm niserable"?  Course we will - you'll do under any circumstances!  It's a shame you feel as you do.  Come and live in Scunny - there's 4 houses for sale our side of the street and 3 on the other.
love, Angie, xx

I'm here late, as I'm not enjoying this Computer....a lot more up to date I suppose, but liked a lot of features on the Old one.
Up and running, but lots to sort.Including my Journal
I have underactive Thyroid, and I feel the cold too.
Hope things have improved by the time you are reading this.

Hi, what a terrible turn of events for you.  I don't read your journal regularily, but I do love the rhymes.  I am so sorry you've had so many bad things happen, you know when it rains it pours, surely things will turn around for you soon.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers, hang in there.  Joni

Kath? Is It any wonder you feel so down?. I would be climbing the walls aswell. You get those repair people told that you can't cope with all this much longer!.
I know where you are coming from with the thyroid and the cold and I truly sympathise. (I'm In jammies,socks and dressing gown now!) You have to hold out just a little longer and things will turn for you. You sound exhausted through stress and need to get cosy, not just in the house but Inside. I really understand. If I was there right now, I would give you the biggest hug going. Try and get some decent sleep, which I Imagine you aren't getting through worry!. At night, get cosy thinking of handsome mermen and during the day, get some music on and dance away those blues and laugh out loud, I assure you It works! Make sure the repair men aren't watching though, they may feel a little scared! lol. Call me selfish If you like lol but,I want and need my Kath back. Love Pam xx

P.s. I meant to add in the other "novel" I will say a huge prayer for you. Love Pam ;-) xx

Oh my! Sounds like someone is not doing good jobs on repair. :(  We were without heat with ice storm for 6 days couple of years ago. Almost got sick from no heat. Know what you are talking about. We have spent $435 each month for 2 months now for just propane not counting electric to run heater! Yikes! Kath I will say some prayers for you. I had something happen this morning with forgetting my song. lol Will make an entry about it. Know I am praying for you Kath and your sick broiler!! lol Love and hugs, Janie

Oh I hope things get better for you dear. Darn boilers they always seem to break down when they are most needed. Try to wear layers of clothing it does help to stay warmer that way. Let's hope for an early spring so that the sun can also help with the deary days....be well, Sandi

Hi Kath I will certainaly say a few prayers for you. Oh I am so sorry you are having such a bad time, there is nothing worse than being so cold. Its a nightmare.  I have just had my new boiler in and replaced most of the old central heating.  I was cold for three days and was I a misarable girl so I do know how you are feeling. Dear Kath I am so sorry please take care. Kathie.

Kath, you know I will be praying for you.  When it rains, it pours.  I'm like you.  It just seems like one things piles up upon the other until I'm just ready to scream, pull my hair out, whatever.  It's always a worrying wondering where the money is going to come from.  I sure hope things straighten out for you and flow smoothly.  You sure could use a break.  Love xx Chris
