Hi there ladies, hugs to all who need it - some of you have had really tough days - keep on going - one step at a time and with all the support you get from here, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I've finished for the day - 4 sets of curtains washed, ironed (yuk) and rehung and a net too! bread rolls, sponge cake and sausage plait for tomorrow's picnic all made - dw on again! So will sign off now and as we're off to bucket and spade land tomorrow - fingers crossed for sun! we'll catch up on Sunday.

.. and guess whose M&S order has been delayed, hrmph.

Has anyone ordered online from them and got it smoothly? I haven't, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

I did without problem earlier this week and got piggy points for it too.

Evening all.......not much flying done this week....Sorry:(

I have been busy, getting kids organised for school and myself organised too!!
I start back on wednesday, so it gives me a couple of days without the shorties running around my feet!! I have a joiner coming this week to fit all my skirting boards..(after moving in 2 years ago) so it will be moving beds and furniture so that he will be able to get at the walls for me to put the stuff on, he is also going to fix my wooden floor in the hall and hang a door!! so im well chuffed:)

Carol - I had huge problems signing up to yahoo last night. I'd leave for an hour or so.

I'm off to bed now, but thanks Greenbee, I'll try again in the morning, and sign up again if it won't work. Night everyone!

Froddington - big hug, big breath, big slug of wine. Try (if you are happy to) to give us a little bit more info. Are you happy in your job? Are you just a wee bit disorganised at the moment? Is something else on your mind?

I love my job - though it seems strange to be going back after so long off. I really do believe that I need to go back to some normality and would be looking forward to it if I'd done all the paperwork! There are other reasons why I feel like this - here's a shortened version!

I'm on fluoxitine (for the 2nd time) because I was getting really down being at home and not being able to do much (for those who don't know, I seriously broke my arm and had to have 2 metal plates put in) After 4 months, it's still sore and aching and not right. I have had times of feeling really down in the past but this was getting too much and I recognised the signs from last time I had the tablets and went to doc. Then my bf of just over a year spent the weekend with me (8 weeks ago) before announcing on the Sunday afternoon it was over! I didn't see that coming and haven't heard anything from him since. I was just about coming to terms with that when I found out in the week that he is seeing someone else and that's the reason why he left. This has knocked me back and I am sooo cross because I was just getting back on track and I'm angry with myself for letting him get to me.

Well that's the gist of it anyway - thank you to everyone for your kind words. I know I will get through this - it just doesn't feel like it at the moment! I'm so tired too - mainly because I haven't had a proper night's sleep in 4 months due to my arm - and that doesn't help! The sofa is too easy to fall asleep on!

Oh froddy what a nasty peice of work he is - you are better of without him - you are too good for the likes of him - its his loss! I think I cn understand how you feel being angry but dont beat yourself up - they can be devious when they want to be - just think you had a lucky escape!! Dont let him spoil it for you getting back on track - do it for you!
Maybe your work is what you need to get you back in a routine and take your mind off him a bit. I know its hard to go back after a long spell (done that myself before) but the first day is the worst - are you in touch with any of the people you work with - could you speak to them and see how organised they are - maybe they are just the same - perhaps you could have an afternoon with one of them and get organised together??
Are you still getting treatment for your arm - if its still not right perhaps you should see your gp/physio. there is nothing worse than not getting proper sleep because of pain. Try not to sleep on the sofa -is it the painkillers that makes you nod off -

I know its not easy = it all got the better of me today but thanks to the lovely ladies here I am feeling better and will go to bed a bit more in control. sorry to be preaching and i hope you fell stronger soon - you can do it.:A
toots xx

froddington

Toots - thank you!

I know he's not worth it but I still miss him!

I am still having treatment for my arm - GP, physio and fracture clinic! It was a very bad injury and treatment is likely to go on for a while and I've been warned I will feel the effects for at least a year! I have 'functional' movement now but no-one knows whether I'll get full movment back. The painkillers don't make me sleepy - it's just the lack of a good night's sleep and the depression (not much then!)

I'm glad you're feeling more positive - I know I need to do this for me and I will. It's just so annoying that I thought I was back on track and have now been knocked back again.

Thanks again for your kind words
