i'm so fed up of feeling this rubbish - crying for no reason

i woke up this morning, and because i've put on weight lately, i can't get any of my trousers done up, so im having to sit in pyjama trousers, so i can't even go out

i just hate everything about myself and my life. i;m sitting balling my eyes out, but i've got no-one to talk to. i don't know why i even bother pretending that everything will be ok...things just keep getting worse and worse for me, never better. I can't take anymore.

Mezer, I feel for you. I go through that to.
I've out on 60lbs since having the kids - yes 60!!

At the moment I would suggest putting the issue to one side until you have a better day.

Have you tried doing a CBT exercise to see what it is that you hate about your life? It only takes a few minutes and it can change your day for the better. I posted some resources in post 647 on this thread and also look at http://www.shiregps.org.au/gp-resources.php

Don't give up! There is help available. Just posting here is a really positive thing.

Take care

Hi all

Still no baby, 15 days over now!

Been going hospital for monitoring everyday, all is good with baby so still taking it day by day. I would be quite happy to continue waiting unless a) baby came of his own accord (please!) or b) monitoring showed something not good, so that is what we are doing at the moment.

However I am acutely aware that my baby birthing principles (ie do not interfere for the sake of it!) also carry other practical consequences, such as my parents are helping look after DDs, OH is now off on paternity leave, and so on. So we have been talking today about setting a 'cut-off' date, whereby if things haven't started happening by that day, we call it a day so to speak and go into hospital.

Not sure yet what day that will be, but it probs won't be very long now.

Dashing off now... I have sent OH out as we have spent most of our time together since Sunday, luckily we don't feel like killing each other but I said it would be nice for us to have some time by ourselves, he's gone off in the car for the afternoon and I'm here just chilling out, listening to my music really loudly on my headphones (poor ears!) and just doing everything I can to relax and hope baby comes out himself!

I think more drastic measures are called for now, Jo-R, such as a nice hot curry or a jog round the block! My mum's midwife used to say housework was the thing to get a baby going and my mum actually went into labour whilst cleaning the bathroom!

Failing that I think lighting a small fire and smoking the blighter out could be the thing to do!:p

Hi guys!

I spotted this notice whilst rummaging around in the Tiff Archives...

I may try a couple of places as it's hard to know exactly where to place this post, so apologies in advance if you should trip over it again.

''Have you been physically disabled while serving in the British Armed Forces?

Then we’d like to give you a break.

In partnership with the Royal British Legion, Vitalise invites you to enjoy an absolutely free seaside holiday at one of our accessible holiday centres.

24-hour care is available and you can bring a friend, partner or carer for free too.''

Here's the link to the site folks, if you want any further details:

http://www.vitalise.org.uk/getdoc/ff1f5950-7e3b-4720-bedf-b21f64abf06a/Best-of-British-Breaks.aspx

'Vitalise' specialise in holidays for disabled people with a wide range of disabilities. I don't know the company myself. I would imagine this applies to veterans of any age, but they must have become disabled while serving in the Forces.
I hope it'll help any disabled veterans get a holiday, who may not otherwise get a break. As with any golden opportunity, it's best to apply for this asap before demand outruns supply.

If this doesn't apply to you guys, could you maybe have a think about whether any of your family, friends or neighbours might qualify, please? Safe journeys guys.

Much Love,

Hi guys!

Afternoon, my little passionfruits.

I hope we're all as well as we can be?

Right, that's 'cheerful' taken care of for today!

I'm going to start by sending a sincere

to jess8905 (jess) and to butterfly-kisses(bk)! Welcome to the clan, guys.

You've found a wonderful thread of support here

.....and then there's me.

I look forward to getting to know you both a little more.

I'd also like to send extra hugs to sazzy, ettie b, gem, shaz, alba, beth, rosep, rbk, jo, ilgd, lm, katie-tulip, mezer, wvw, cb2, sp, beks, fairy, s, ab and to anyone else who's feeling a little low right now.

The Tiffster has been so busy, even when doing nothing my mind is doing overtime and I don't see an end to it very soon either.

Got several secret missions on the go.

Thank you all for your feel better wishes - they are very muchly appreciated.

I'll be fine. As tends to be the case, there are multiple things going on at the same time. But I know it'll all be okay... now where have I heard that before?!

Could be nearly time for the 10th installment of 'The Tiff Chronicles'!

So yes, the Tiffster will reluctantly admit that she's feeling a tad delicate in a few areas right now.

Which wasn't helped by the fact that I had to have a man, (wait for it, wait for it!), come out at 9.30pm last night, because rainwater was seeping through my gas boiler in the kitchen and over the counters and floor!
I was already really tired from a huge washing up session that morning and I'd left everything to dry in the rack and done other bits of housework. I'd been to see the vet yesterday for a check-up with my CPN, which was exhausting and very emotional too. Then I ended up doing a bit of grocery shopping with CPN afterwards, bless him.
Tiffy Tip: I can now confirm that having red eyes in public after a bit of a crying session, (him - not me!

), is not this year's hot new look!

I got home, made a cuppa and snuggled up on the couch. by 6.30pm.
When I awoke from my catnap at 6.30pm

- it sneaked up on me! - I went to worship at the font of caffeine again, only to find this metallic smelling stinky water in a growing puddle on the floor, having dripped off a kitchen counter from the gas boiler above. It was pouring with rain and the wind was howling. So knowing that electricity and water aren't good for you, as our H&S badgie will tell you,

I called the repair line. The guy that came said that my pipes were cracked, (shut it sazzy!

), and would need replacing and that the housing association would send someone out to Tiff Towers somewhere between 1 and 28 days.

Having subsequently received a phone call at 10pm from the said Tiffster, the housing association has now reduced this to ''by Friday.''

And, of course, I'll have to do all that washing up all over again. Oh joy!

And now I suppose you guys are expecting a cat piccie? Well, I don't feel like it!

I just want to say that I haven't forgotten anyone. There are a few things on the go right now - plus 'tis a writing season atm - and it may take me a bit longer with some replies.

Be kind to yourself.

Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Safe journeys guys.

Hi guys!

No offence intended here, peeps.;)

And finally...

See what happens when you look for a sign?!

Okay, okay, sorry - I'll say double prayers tonight!

*Note to self: avoid going out in any thunderstorms for a few days!*

Much Love,

:hello: Everyone,

Hope all is well,I am fine today

I had a nice meal at Mums of Hotpot and a sponge pud and custard my favourite of all.

I came home then went to Amazon to do an online shop.Got a charger for my ipod Nano and a nice case to protect it from scratches and stuff like that.Had to put a bit towards postage but the stuff is mostly coming free of charge from money I had from Qype so I have finished spending that money and I am really delighted.I love Online Shopping as its so much fun.

love and light,

Tiff, you seem like a wonderful humorous person!

I'm sure others will agree with me when I say that I really appreciate the time and energy you put into your posts.
