:hello: Everyone,

Hope all is well,I am fine today,got up at 11am :eek: my phone rang and I didnt get up to answer because I was still sleepy and not come round properly,by the time it rang again I was up finally and it was my dad telling me it was now 11 and to have a light breakfast as lunch would be 12.45.I just had a banana and two Jammy Dodgers for breakfast.I love Jammie Dodgers as they are my favourite biscuits in the world.

I had two mugs of coffee to wake me up as well so I feel better I watched a film called Cats eyes last night on Bt Vision and it didnt even frighten me not even the monster.Glad things went well yesterday with Sam Anni.I listened to Will Young last night on X Factor Results show singing Grace and he gave a great performance as always

*hugs* to those that need one

love and light,

Afternoon lovelies. :wave:

I'm having a good day today (although I drank alcohol for the first time in years last night and now today my right side hurts but oh well. I'm such a lightweight).

Sam text me this morning to say good morning etc. Hehe. He says he can't stop thinking about me. I like it. I feel wanted.

He's at band practice at the moment so I'm just getting a bit of studying in before he comes back on MSN.

hi all,
glad to hear your having a good day anni, its nice to feel wanted isn't it?
katie, you must have needed the sleep, glad your having a good day too.
AB, thanks for your interesting reply, i guess the reason why i analyse why somebody would like me, is because, the ex was always telling me how rubbish i was, how lucky i was to have him putting up with me etc, i accept thats in the past now, and i'm working to put that behind me. this week i'm starting a confidence, assertiveness, and self acceptance course, on thurs, which should help.
can see daniel's showing a power struggle, showing me that he is stronger and almost bigger than myself, and he often says i cant make him do something, which is true, physically i cant.
took advice on board regarding rewards, and usually we would go out on a sun, either, meal, coast if warm, theme parks, or cinema, today we have stayed in and watched a dvd.
Bf knows a little about daniel's problem's but i dont want to involve him in the kids lives just yet, is too soon, and enjoying the time i spend with ian, just me and him, long time since i had something so positive in my life, he really makes me feel so special, silly little texts etc, just to show he is thinking of me, something i have not experianced in long time,

hugs all

I sympathise. I too sometimes avoid answering the phone when I don't feel up to talking to my mother. Mine usually nags me to get a job or go to college every time we talk.

Hi guys!
I hope everyone is as well as they can be.
I see may was up keeping me company around 3.30a.m. again - lovely pics, hunnie - are you at work or having sleeping problems? Once upon a very long time ago, sazzy was known to get up early very occasionally too.

I was up and about this time yesterday, (and every other day - can you feel the joy?! ), and got DS up ready to leave on the 8.35am coach back to London. The time has just flown by. At the start of the week we were both so excited and happy to see each other, and it was funny to observe that the more the week went on, the more he reverted to pre-Uni habits and attaching himself to all things electrically entertaining. The washing up by the sink has reached an all time record height and there is a real danger of Kim and Aggie turning up! Actually, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?

Anyhoo, I hope this explanation will suffice regarding the lack of my posts over the weekend. It looks like I've got a serious amount of replies I'd like to do. For a thread that had a couple of comments saying it was struggling, it seems to be on the road to recovery now. Thank you to those who have had the courage to post about their issues - I know it's not easy - and I hope it helps to know that you're not alone and by posting, you may inadvertently be helping someone else out there who may just be quietly reading through.

Huge moulting Tiffy hugs to everyone with work, classes, appointments, assessments, counselling, tests, treatment, or who are poorly or have poorly loved ones or badgies, to those of us who are struggling right now or who don't know which way to turn.

And I should like to offer up these quotes to you lovely folks...

''The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful, is why do I think it's not beautiful? And very shortly you discover that there is no reason.''

~ John Cage

''Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.''
~ Walter Elliot

''Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.''
~ Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Wishing you all a contented Monday. Safe journeys guys - and be kind to yourself!
Much Love,

Hi guys!
Welcome all, to the Tiffster's new service:
''My Expressions and Warnings!''...or MEWs, for short.

I thought this idea might be helpful to some of us who have people that just don't/won't/can't listen to us - especially on a Monday!
Just print and display in the area around you for your intended audience and hopefully, they'll get the message.
NB. Using this service requires five years subscription in advance - cash only!

Disclaimer:

Any adverse legal repercussions or threats of physical assault caused by the use of MEWS, remains the sole responsibility of the user - and, of course, sazzy!
In other words...!
Awww, loves you really saz!
Much Love,
