Hiya, dont be sorry coz your not ramblying, sounds like we have the same brother. Luckily we dont live together but sometimes I dread him coming over, he puts me down and always goes on how I have to pull myself together, how I need to let go of the past and have to stop being so angry all the time. When I try and respond he says he isnt being horrible, he calls it constructive critisism(sp)-now I say to myself-whatever in my mind. He has backed off a bit now luckily.hhmm sometimes I think there was a mix up in the hospital when I was born but nope there wasnt...I try so hard sometimes with them...Hugs xx

Bless you, I know exactly how you feel. My brother says the same thing about letting go of the past. But what he doesn't realise is that my parents were never so critical of him, he got off lightly because he's younger than me! Fortunately (I know that sounds really bad... I do like him... he just takes his frustration out on me because I'm worse off than him!) he is going away on Sunday for two months, so I will have some respite. He has just been in my room again trying to wangle his way back into my good books. He said he's so fed up of everything... errrrrm, welcome to my world

But yes, a mix-up at the hospital would explain a lot. Unfortunately my brother and I are often mistaken for twins because we look so alike :rotfl:

Im okish I suppose hun, got a lot on at the mo, really stressed and under pressure. Got a lot of worries but am coping as Ive got no choice lol. Been thinking of you to, was worried about you when I read you was in hospital. Will definatly catch with you on msn soon. With ds at home, he doesnt give me much chance of sitting down and having a proper chat on msn, he too is not sleeping well since we have got back from my mums as the time difference and climate has kind of affected him. Need to get him into a rountine fast before schools open lol.Hope your ok.Hugs x

Same here apart from Im younger than my brother but he was a bit like the golden child who never did wrong lol and me the black sheep who stood out. I was good as a child, just in my teens when problems started I started rebelling.I too like my brother and actually love him to bits coz he is the only family I have close by. We dont look alike as we have different dads but sometimes ppl thinks he is my partner as my son is so close to him and they assume he is sons dad lol...He has started to get strict with my son now coz he has realised he cant control me and bully me like he use to but my sons gives as good as he gets back, hetakes after his mummy. I suppose your brother going away is good in a way but your going to miss him coz you are use to him. I know I missed my brother loads when he went away even though he gets on my nerves. Sometimes that space makes your relathionship stronger.I dont live that close to my brother luckily and he does shift work so dont get to see him much. I only make the effort for my son as he is kind of a role model for my son but if he carries on digging at us then il have no choice but to see even less of him.Why do they do that, be horrible then all nice once they feel bad???I suppose thats brothers for you.Take care-Hugs xx

Hi all!

Went for my other job interview today. Not heard from the one last week, but was more interested in this one tbh! They're letting people know by the end of today so not long to go really!

Nearly didn't go, couldn't face it but I actually did this a few months ago when I got an interview for a really good job, and I felt lousy afterwards, like I'd missed a great opportunity. So I *knew* I'd feel worse if I didn't go. So I did. It was fine - tbh I've been to a handful this year and I've been saying to myself this last week - what's the worst that's going to happen? I don't get the job? Well in that case at least I went and I know I didn't get the job, rather than not going and never knowing if that makes any sense at all!

I've treated myself to a Cherry Coke, going to make lunch soon and apply for some more jobs!

Hey to everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Afternoon lovelies.

I'm ill...again! My own fault though, what with obvious reasons for my low immune system.lol. Does up to the eyeballs on Nurofen.

I was going to have a duvet day today but I think that I might have to go out because I'm not sure if I'll have enough time to do some shopping in town tomorrow. Only need the essentials like milk, tea, washing powder etc.
Tomorrow I have the drop in and I need to pick up my prescription, and check to see if my blood results are back yet.

My doctor is off for two weeks so I've booked an appointment ready for when she comes back.
I've also started getting more interested in biology and medicine now. I've always been interested in it, but now I'm even more interested so I'm going to go browsing the charity shops for biology books, because I'm weird like that you see.

I hope you're all having a good afternoon.
