The first thing to say is: I hope you're okay. Grief and existential angst often go hand-in-hand and I think we've all felt this way from time to time.
Sorry to hear how this is affecting you, Pete.
You accumulate the more sad events like this the older you get.
Makes so much less sense when they are not that old doesn't it.
Sorry to hear how this is affecting you, Pete.
I cannot find any point at all, but just hang in there, is the best I can come up with. And for me, I live each day like it could be my last day on earth
So I try to smile as much as I can and try and be nice to everyone I encounter.
Love not hate
Christ ! Good job we have got you Feckers - just spat me breakfastI can vouch for Otis having no fear of death - I've seen how he drives.
When I worked there, guy in my dept. committed suicide. In his 40’s I think, but tough to handle for us, as hadn’t realised he was in any “pain”. Always asking yourself if there was anything you could have done.
Fuckin hell!!!!
Especially as I was waiting for my ex, Russian wife, to pop over there for a holiday , in the hope she might at some point, accidentally fall out of a Moscow window, or perish in a salt mine, but no, she's still walking around and is absolutely fine.
So sorry to hear, Daz.
Yup. As the old saying goes "If you can't say anything nice about someone, get AI to conjure up a little insult on your behalf and post it up on social media everywhere "
I retired early. Best thing I ever did .
I’m desperately hoping it’s an option. I can’t take another 20 years!!
Many thanks to her for all her hard work.
I’d be interested to hear her experiences of working for the NHS. I hear a lot of horror stories.
She started in 1998 and actually persuaded me against doing my nurse training about 15 years ago as even then she said the job had changed so much and Nurses don't always have the time to provide the face to face patient care that they should , I work within the NHS as a carer at all the special needs schools in Coventry and a respite centre for kids that have learning disabilities and life limiting illnesses . I feel very lucky to work with then children and their families . It can be hard but ultimately very rewarding { extra couple of grand a year wouldnt go a miss
Our recent experiences in hospital were very positive with respect to midwives and nurses. Mostly very dedicated people trying their best, couldn't be more supportive and especially in a ward full of crying babies.She started in 1998 and actually persuaded me against doing my nurse training about 15 years ago as even then she said the job had changed so much and Nurses don't always have the time to provide the face to face patient care that they should , I work within the NHS as a carer at all the special needs schools in Coventry and a respite centre for kids that have learning disabilities and life limiting illnesses .

Sounds like an amazing way to earn a living mate…a real privilege. I can only imagine how tough it must be at times. I knew you were a carer but not that you were employed by the NHS too.She started in 1998 and actually persuaded me against doing my nurse training about 15 years ago as even then she said the job had changed so much and Nurses don't always have the time to provide the face to face patient care that they should , I work within the NHS as a carer at all the special needs schools in Coventry and a respite centre for kids that have learning disabilities and life limiting illnesses .

AVC’s. 30 years will give approx 3/8 final salary if she doesn’t take the lump sum. Save. It will happen sooner than she thinks. Plus, she may have to retire at 57?
Well i'm not telling her
