    Tell me. have you timed yourself with the ironing yet? I found myself doing it the other week:o It is a minute an item, bearing in mind that DD clothes are only little.;)

    As for your other dilemma.......:j IKEA IKEA:j me thinks.

    Like pigpen has said before, I do get up and keep moving. I believe this is my testimony and Ive lived it because I am intended to share it.
    Ive never really spoken about this except to DF so I hope you all dont mind my heart on my sleeve...And again, thank you for being on the other end when I had a need.All of you.

    We don't care what medication anyone takes.. if you were diabetic you wouldn't think twice about taking insulin for the rest of your life... If you had cancer you wouldn't refuse treatment.. My mother has taken medication for migraines 3 times a day for almost as long as I can remember.. and Mary and Joseph were my next door neighbours at one point!, my MIL takes thyroxin every day.. so if you need AD's or whatever.. we don't mind.. it doesn't make you anything but someone who is strong enough to say 'yes I need this and I am so not ashamed to admit it!'

    Hearts on sleeves are good sometimes and other times just typing down your fears and your worries and what scares you does benefit you in the long term. We are ALL behind you, we are ALL here and while we cannot help you in a practical sense don't ever feel we don't care because we are all a bit mad here and worry about our flysisters.. but we don't just share those crappy times you know.. we are here to celebrate exam successes, good news, weddings, new babies and even those crazy 'proud mama moments'.

    I could post a list - or I could go to IKEA! :think:
    Decisions, decisions.
    Got a voucher for a free candleabra!
    I don't need a candleabra (and I don't seem to be able to spell it, either :rotfl:

    And a mini blue bag (value 15p)

    It's a long way to Nottingham - 4 M1 junctions down!

    Decisions, decisions.

    Personally I'd rather be scrubbing the inside of my oven than going anywhere near IKEA :eek: Can't you persuade [STRIKE]some other idiot [/STRIKE] a friend who is going to pick up your freebies for you?

    Anyway, aren't you supposed to be decluttering rather than acquiring more junk you don't need? So unless it'll do for a present, best leave it... you know you'll only spend a fortune while you're there, and if you manage to find your way out, you may well need therapy ;)

    Polkadot (((((hugs))))) you've been through a lot and are obviously determined to overcome it. That's half the battle, and with support from your DF (and everyone on this thread, obviously!), I'm sure you'll manage it. :A
