Shirley, If I win the Lottery I will pm you, you would have no worries then, not with all the good you do. You know what they say God is good, well if anyone deserves help you do;; Babs

Val that is so sweet of you. I am sure every thing will be fine in the end, something will turn up , if not i have a tent. LOL Shirley Ann.

Shirley, It's amazing how things can come at you like that out of the blue and knock you sideways. In this case your whole family is affected by the actions of those mindless thugs who attacked your son. I think you're being incredibly brave about it and doing us all a great service by reminding us that there are others less fortunate than ourselves, who may not seem so on the face of it. It seems that life is being very hard on you, given what you do for others. I wish you every success in achieving your aim and I hope you are able to raise the sum you need to see you through. As Lindy has said, if it comes to it, I'm certain there are plenty of GR members who would be willing to help out, and I hope you wouldn't be too proud to allow us to do so. Very best wishes to you and your family CB >*|*<

Shirley I'm so very sorry to hear this, but I'm a firm believer in what goes round comes round - you have done so much good that I know it will all work out for you. With my very best wishes, Mandy :) x

That is ok Shirley at least in a tent you won't have council tax lol

In no circumstances would i except money from anyone, lovely thought, but i wouldn't even consider it. Its my mess and i WILL get out of it,. Do you know the hardest thing in getting private rent is , a lot of people wont allow dogs, and i have a little Lassa Apso, she is 5 this month, and my lot would rather get rid of me than they would her. Don't think i could part with her either , so tent it is. lol. oooh no council Tax, i like the sound of that. I might even become a Gypsy. Shirley Ann.

I hope all goes well for you. How is your son now? It is a long time till April, anything good could happen. Deanna X

What a wonderful, positive attitude! I understand the point you're trying to make. Many years ago I was unexpectedly homeless for a while with 2 small children, and you're right, it can happen to anyone. I'll be thinking of you and yours and trusting that things will work out well in the end. xox

That is the spirt Shirley - fighting spirit! they can have you bricks and our cash , but they cant touch your dignity- good for you! Jess x

Shirley, Whenever I see a homeless person I always think 'there but for the grace of God go anyone of us'. Your story goes to prove how right that saying is. No-one wants to be homeless and it is usually a series of events that spiral out of control. I am sure your story will have a happy ending. You live with the knowledge that no-one could have done more for their son. Good luck to you and I hope there are only blue skies ahead. Jean x.

Deana, my son looses consentration a lot, and this gets on his nerves a bit, he still gets depressed at times, and have problems with the eye where he had to have his eye socket rebuilt, but to look at him you would never know that he has had all this done to him, he has metal plates in his cheeks, also each side of his jaw, and another above his other eye. but he is still a handsome man. so in that respect he was lucky. Thank you all for your kind thoughts,and well wishes, who knows i might get an invite from Elizebeth and Philip to go and stay with them, after all they have plenty of room at the palace. lol. Shirley Ann.

Probably warmer in the tent - I've heard they are a bit tight-fisted AND the corgis are rumoured not to be completely house-trained - could be a bad influence on your dog Beth :)

Shirley - I am sad to read of your problems and be sure if I won the lotto you would be first on my list to help - you are the salt of the earth and these problems are not of your making or your greed, they are thrust on you by the evil actions of others. I hope your son's health improves and that something good happens for you very soon. Liz

Thank you all so much, there really are some lovely people on this board and i am amazed by your kindness. Thank you Bendy for mailing me. NOW you lot, its CHRIMBLE, so lets not be sad. things will be ok because i will make sure they are . ho ho ho. Still not heard from Liz and Phil from the old palace yet, but if the corgis are not house trained then i would have to turn them down anyway. Shirley Ann.

What wonderful parents you are Shirley. I do hope something turns up in the New Year and you all get sorted out. When I was younger and things were going wrong my Dad used to say 'Don't worry something always turns up' and do you know it does. So chin up and I hope my Dads words work for you Take Care Germaine x

My dear Mum used to say the same, she would say you waste all that time worrying, and it all works out in the end. So i refuse to worry about it, as im sure things will work out. Thank you Shirley Ann.

Shirley anne you are in my thoughts love
