Hi Hildy1, lovely to hear from you, 27 is far two young to lose a husband it's bad enough being 62 like I was, I'm 66 this year and I don't want to go to pubs or clubs so I thought I would
try to make some friends on this site to chat to and so far you are the only one who has replied, not sure what I'm doing wrong and I nearly gave up.
Here are a few facts about me, I live in Kent with my son daughter I law and two soon to be three granddaughters, I have two Border Collies who are getting old now, I like most things.
Anyway I won't bore you to much hope to chat to you soon.
Take care

Please don't think you are boring :),
I have just moved back to my home city of Liverpool and all my family but I wish I hadn't bothered, They are all too busy and leading their own lives so I feel isolated and lonely. I was in North Northumberland for 18 years with my partner and the kids dad but we split up and then I met my husband (big mistake), we moved over the border into Scotland
My husband and I used to have 9 dogs, 2 Labs, 3 Spaniels, 2 Terriers and a miniture Jack Russel, they were working dogs and when my husband and I left Scotland to move to his home town in the Midlands we had to make the hard choice of re homeing those we could, 1 died and I had to have my dog put down cuz she was ill, we took 4 with us, then I realised that he was a nasty man and high tailed it back to Liverpool lol!
I have two kids, a boy and a girl, both in their 20s now. My boy has autism (aspergers) it has its challenges for all of us.
I don't think I've ever been to Kent where in Kent do you live?

Hi Hildy, nice to hear from you again, I live in Walderslade, Kent just outside Chatham, sorry to hear of all the problems you have had, I'm waiting the arrival of a new baby granddaughter in November there should have been one in June but my daughter Inlaw lost it in November last year, she hasn't had an easy pregnancy this time and she will be glad when baby comes along, she was talking about having another one later but I think the way she has been that's gone bye the way. My two dogs are snoring their heads off here all they seem to like doing at the moment is sleep.
Anyway enough about me, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Take care

Hi RoaieB,
It seems ages since I was on here, I had all my shifts changes and this is the first time i have had time to sit on the laptop,
You certainly are in an exciting time at the moment, waiting for a new family member 🙂
Do you get the chance to be a " full time Gran" ? lol 🙂
I'm really lucky to have the job I have because I get to look after children from 10 to 16 in residental care, It's like having a family but I then get to go home for some peace heehee!!
I don't think I know anyone from Kent, It's a area of the country I need to explore, I am toying with getting a small caravan so I can go exploring, I have friends all over britain, it would be nice time go visit them someday
Well i'm off to see if I can go book my car in to a local garage, I sound like a boy racer and my boss has made several comments about the noise lol:)
bye for now xx
I'm Hilary by the way x
