Hi @Bubbles3
We all seem to have different degrees so family probs here - you only need to say as much as you feel like - If find my siblings very hard to get along with so I don't see them - I like my life better that way
Aw - so you are going to court - I am not facing anything so interesting though I was in court for my son several times - it is a place where we feel vulnerable regardless of why we are there - and you only need to say anything unless you feel like it
It can make Christmas harder though - I had to be in court for my son as soon as the Children's Court was open in January one year - aw that is so hard - I understand whatever it's about
I spent Christmas Day with my daughter's family - my grand-daughter and my son-in-law and my daughter's step-sons and their families and there were other children from other members of the extended family it was terrific fun seeing the kids tearing the paper off their parcels - I was there for hours and it was really great
But since then I have been here alone and this is something I find easy to sit with - all these years and I have found so much to do that I actually enjoy myself. I had movies taped to watch and I play the piano too - so being alone is fine for me
And I am planning to visit some rellies of mine interstate - probably in February - I had a knee arthroscopy done just over a month ago and it is getting better - it was worth having - and I want to be able to walk a lot when I travel - that's the best part of my holidays - walking and getting lost and needing to find my way back
But I know the city I am going to this time really well
I am glad your kids liked their pressies - are they still into Father Christmas? - and a special breakfast sounds a good idea -
I hope this year is better for you Bubbles - even though you have a court date in front of you
Just an idea - take cold drinks and something to eat with you - I found this a really good idea
