Im the youngest of 5 and had not the best upbringing my father was an alcoholic, abusive man,. we kept in contact for a while after, but lost contact, id moved got married and moved on in my life. Then my step dad came along and the trouble with it all too, i resented him for a while, he wanted to be my dad i didnt want him to at that time, then years later after having my own children i realised actually he was my Dad and have adored him ever since. <br /><br />All the time i wondered if my Father was alive and what he was upto had he moved on, in life, had more family as he was only in his early 40's so it was possible,<br />I went to his last address in Blackpool trying to find him nothing and then 2years ago my oldest sister Betty and I applied with The Salvation Army Tracing Team to find him, <br />my sister had a phone call on Tuesday to say they had found him Alive,???<br />He asked after the oldest child Mark? there are 4 other children too you know Father he said he would like to know more about us but through the Sally Army, <br /><br />Now i dont know how i feel obviously im very pleased he is still Alive, i'd been through the senario of finding him all too late,<br />I feel terribly disloyal to my Dad (step) he or mum dont know yet, i want to tell them as i feel terribly guilty of knowing and not telling them, <br />Dad will be so hurt im sure, Mum knows we have been looking for him, im sure she will be shocked to know we have found him,<br /><br />we have wrote another letter which was posted thursday to say we would like to get to know him again, we cant put too much or else we could frighten him off, so i suppose the ball is in his court now, if he dosnt wanna see us then i guess we've not lost anything but this could also open up a hugs can of worms and how do we all deal with it??<br /><br />Its been 25years since i saw him, if im honest i cant really remember what he looks like, his voice nothing, will my memories of him come back if and when we meet. <br />who knows, Im not expecting too much if anything after all if we meant that much to him i dont see how he could have lost touch????<br /><br /><br /><br />as i sit reading this back i cant believe im going through this after 25 years, i didnt mean it to take this long, i wish i hadnt have left it this long, i guess i wasnt ready to deal with the concequences, its not gonna be easy for any of us, i would just like to have some answers to questions far too personal to post on here, sorry, but you know the years just add up dont they, <br /><br /><br /><br />so if your reading my blog and possibly in the same situation plz dont leave it so long to trace someone you care about. <br />thanks for listening love and hugs <br /><br /><br />jennixa little bit of me........http://www.blogger.com/profile/01971411476111555971noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899412532951200955.post-89702030197532222572009-06-05T23:01:00.002+01:002009-06-05T23:10:16.511+01:00am i getting old??ive fell asleep again this eveing i went really cold lay on the sofa DD covered me up with my old grannys blanket and i slept for about 3 hours what a waste though, I wanted to get tea organised early so i could go and create something fabby in my new craft room, <br />my MOJO is back but only @ the thinking planning stage i just dont have enough energy right now, maybe its just all catching up with me or maybe my dodgy thyroid is playing up again.<br /><br /><br />Even lets face it im just getting on a bit now ive had my 41st birthday, i must face upto the fact im know longer the spring chicken i once was,<br /><br /><br />Im hoping to have some play time this weekend, ive so many projects on the go now,<br /><br />k im off to catch up with all the blogs i love have a fabby weekend,<br />jennixa little bit of me........http://www.blogger.com/profile/01971411476111555971noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899412532951200955.post-88900154511163165812009-06-03T23:19:00.002+01:002009-06-03T23:26:20.317+01:00and the wonderer returns!!yes im back after 2 weeks without the internet, i will update my blog as soon as i can,<br /><br />ive hundreds of emails to go through and loads of your blogs to catch up on, see what your've all been upto and check out your recent makes.<br />Im pleased to say our house move went really well and were finally settled, today i decorated my bedroom in red, looks lush, i love it.

Well as ive not got any photos of my childhood, well i have 2! They are packed so i went with a photo of me and my 2 sisters, when we all lived together when we lived in Penarth Wales. We were like 3 mad women all under the same roof with 8 children between us!!<br />we had tea bags fights, peanut butter sandwich fights, when one of us was in the shower we would pour talcum powder over from the top.<br />One time thinking about it now i could have killed my dear sister i mean really it was a stupid prank that could have gone wrong thankfully it didnt.<br /><br />One day the toilet was blocked so Dianne the middle sister got up the ladder and was checking out the pipe outside, what did i do pour a bucket of cold water over her!!!!!<br />She could have fell off or anything thankfully she lived o tell the tale!!! How bad is that though this was in 1995. Through marriage break-ups we were all single mums living in the same house. I will treasure those memories forever.<br />love you my dear sisters. <br />This is my LO.a little bit of me........http://www.blogger.com/profile/01971411476111555971noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899412532951200955.post-35229468040593293762009-05-09T08:00:00.003+01:002009-05-09T08:10:53.111+01:00my blog candy win!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimngPT_sJHYKlId11WrpzJXZof0c4tkKXYZUR__qENz9_wBgALyOtZHzWYg-uj0yyRF2snFtxS-3MH96KovPBL9XT_awW4hhzyufi2tMXsixsk2QgjXIqrsxxwSboJWAMO2nGwrJOUzlo/s1600-h/100_1434_edited.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimngPT_sJHYKlId11WrpzJXZof0c4tkKXYZUR__qENz9_wBgALyOtZHzWYg-uj0yyRF2snFtxS-3MH96KovPBL9XT_awW4hhzyufi2tMXsixsk2QgjXIqrsxxwSboJWAMO2nGwrJOUzlo/s320/100_1434_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333717181909128066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMWWbRMd24Fg3FXSsC69BToMolV7iSMk_glxF105ijUr4KitCML9IaWbWp50nF5RhS8rtM2b2evwAsqs5IEik_2qKNkvoO9KeGPWll9D-03ruWIdQHK-nIVyIaT_2u4wSUsPGqY2M1h8/s1600-h/100_1424_edited.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMWWbRMd24Fg3FXSsC69BToMolV7iSMk_glxF105ijUr4KitCML9IaWbWp50nF5RhS8rtM2b2evwAsqs5IEik_2qKNkvoO9KeGPWll9D-03ruWIdQHK-nIVyIaT_2u4wSUsPGqY2M1h8/s320/100_1424_edited.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333717174149456850" /></a><br />I was delighted to hear i had won clarkyJ's blog candy and received my parcel thursday take a look.<br /><br />thankyou so much Janet, i so appreciate it and ive been playing already should have been packing but hey ho!<br />A girls gotta play when she has new stash!<br /><br /><br />http://thisandthatwithclarkyj.blogspot.com/ this is janets blog go check it out its fabby xxa little bit of me........http://www.blogger.com/profile/01971411476111555971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899412532951200955.post-48598510666713809402009-05-04T18:05:00.003+01:002009-05-04T18:12:17.743+01:00Darn sticky tapeand not the <strong></strong> Crafty type either, its just not behaving and refuses to stick to the boxes ive already packed,slowly u can see it peeling off, its so annoying.<br /><br />Ive started on the kitchen you know all the things u have but just dont use that often, ie posh serving dishes!
