intrigued about the free driving lessons! does anyone have any idea how i would go about this/who to contact? terrified at the prospect of it but it would be amazing to be able to do it, eventually!

i love my scars, theyre part of me and what ive been through, and i bet youre beautiful scars and all too

Actually, they make me look like a junkie!:rolleyes:

I had a small tumour excised from my chest about 6 months ago (right between my boobs - nice!) and the doc made a hash of the stitching and left a little hole in the skin. Over time I noticed that it looked black and wondered if one of the subcutaneous stitches was coming through.
I checked it with GP on a visit there for something else and she grabbed a pair of tweezers and pulled out a poppy seed!! I have some weird and wonderful natural smellt soaps and oone has poppy seeds on it. Try explaining that to your GP whilst you're both falling about laughing hysterically. Gawd knows what the waiting room thought was going on!

If not, have some choccie cake *grin*

ooh zippy its in your sig now ......cant be forgotten then

Lol, I wouldn't like to point out that it's been there a few days though...

Cwta - you're a loon! Wth are you doin makin soup at that time? That being said, I picked up OH from his new work at 10:30, didn't make it home til 12.45ish (dropped off OH's friend's OH and then stopped chatting to said friend), then ordered pizza Then me and OH got the giggles, after putting the world to rights and wondering what our life's legacy would be (!) and I must've managed to fall asleep (about 5am) and OH drifted off, woke up and started being a maniac! When I had to get up to go to my (*groan*) CBT appt for 10am, via town to get my glasses straightened as I'd done a bang up job of bending them all out of shape when I rolled over then :rolleyes:, he was up and showered and had been pottering all night! I, of course, preceeded to go straight back to bed on my return and he continued running round like a lunatic.I've been awake about half an hour, when he told me he's been to my house, put some washing in there, picked up the insurance docs (that need sending back to them), found my cheque book, put washing in here multiple times and hung it out, been shopping and prepared everything to cook spag bol tonight, done some cleaning and tidying up and I'm just exhausted thinking about this list! :eek:

CBT was even more horrendous this morning. It doesn't help that even though I've told her I'm no good in the mornings, the daft cow still proceeded to schedule me in for a morning. So I'm already grumpy before I've gone to bed, never mind after being rudely awakened and dragged from my comfy, warm, much needed sleep. Then of course cos I was so tired I was so much colder :rolleyes: Cue whinge number 17. The trip to town first meant that I needed to get up that bit earlier, so I treated myself to sausage butty and chocolate muffin from bakery on the way past Of course this did nothing to allay my foul mood and OH renamed me Grumpus for the morning. (To be fair, I do have underwear which state very clearly "These are my GRUMPY pants!" a la Mr Men...and guess which I was wearing ). Arrival at the CBT therapists was no better as her office had been relocated, which also meant that I no longer had a vaguely passable chair to sit in, but now I was on a higher up chair (with no support for feet, what were they thinking?) with no arms to the chair - so my arm (as I've more recently realised) are more tired as they're constantly straining to keep themselves up - with a TICKING clock right behing my head!! It was not feng shui either. :rolleyes: Can you tell I was unhappy? So having voiced my gripes and moans she gets me to do another ridiculous questionnaire about what you do when you have something traumatic happen ("which could be receiving a parking ticket or the loss of a loved one") - I mean... come on!! I swear the same question about whether you turn to friends was used at least 5 times so I was vocally grumping about this also. So she eventually says "I can sense that you're frustrated this morning"... well that was the beginning of the end for me!! :mad: It goes on in the same, if not worse, vein and now she's left it with me not having any booked appointments, but if I'm "willing and committed to doing the work" that she can neither explain to me or justify to me then I can ring her by the end of the week and she'll block book me 8 sessions. If not I have to let her know that too. I came out wanting to punch her. And when I think about it I still do

So how's everybody else's day gone? (No I didn't say somebody_else's day S/e :rolleyes:)

I suspect - and I'm sure somebody will (gladly ) correct me if I'm wrong - that if you qualify for the Mobility award then it would be essentially the same as paying that money directly to the Motability company for a car - you would just be paying it to a nominated driving school...? It makes sense in my little head anyways

Raeh said she was gonna look it up didn't she...right before she said she had the memory of a goldfish! :rotfl:

BZ, if you don't now I'm mentally impaired by now, there really is no help for you.

Bless your H for bein such a star and getting all that done. Wonder if it's the frustration and the worry regardin his job that, now it's sorted out, he needs to work off the adrenalin.
You are a grump today, but how you didn't just smack that CBT woman, I don't know. How about writing to her expressing your frustrations and the problems you've had with appointment times, discomfort whilst you're there etc and lodge a copy of this with your GP too. That way, you have a valid comeback if anyone questions why you didn't pursue CBT. Feel for you.
I am absolutely carp at baking, but I do have a very nice choccie roll in the cupboard. Want me to post you a slice? Although, now I've remembered it's there ......

Even though I've only had petty frustrations today, they are the things that annoy me the most. Something I bought turns out to be faulty, couldn't convince shop to give me a discount on sommat else, and thwarted mystery shop. Have also managed to trash living room that I so lovingly (yeah, right) tidied yesterday. Ah well.
And why do cats hate scratching posts, but love sofa arms??

Is grumpiness catching?!

p.s Unity, I was born in County Durham, but left when I was 1 and I think it's showing!

Ahahahahahahahaha!! :rotfl: Nothing to do with the product - but the pics they use in their ad thing!
Note the male model pretending to be shooting a gun next to the words "Hi-impact lens" and the girl bopping herself on the back of the head with a baseball bat at the bottom! Class!!! :rotfl:

Roxsi,

Some details re driving lessons etc.
I also used to be a terrified driver, but it does get better as you realise that nobody is watching you and judging you all the time you're driving. It could potentially make a real difference in your life.

It could be, but I actually think that it's because he's done practically sweet FA for a bit while he's been such a stress bucket and he's realised that if he doesn't do some washing soon he'll have nothing left to wear! He's got a few days breather now, has told his old boss "how about you just don't rota me on permanently and I come down with my resignation letter tomorrow?" when she rang up to see how he was and when she could rota him back on :rotfl:, and only has his next shift at the hotel on Weds. But you could be right, it could be an excess of adrenaline working it's way out. Either way, I don't mind at all!

I'm not sure how I didn't either. She sensed that I was "hostile" and erm...what eas the word now? not reticent, or reluctant...but something in the same vein. I don't know how much "sensing" she needed for that I was sat there moaning with my arms crossed or with a desh chair physically barricading me off from her, speaking my mind very bluntly! The session itself was worse than I've already said, but it would take soooo long to type it all out that you'd mostly all be asleep (or I would anyway!) by the time I'd finished. I came out and gave OH a brief overview and he instantly named her a whopper

You know teacher allows the word crap...right? As funny as it is for me to read carp every time and have a little giggle
Oooh, Auntie Axe that sounds tempting! It would just finish my spag bol off nicely. Do they do express delivery?

D'ya know, I think it might be If it helps any, dogs have the same foibles. Buddy is such a fussy git that you can give him dog food - even if he's lovingly tucked into it before - and if he's in the mood he'll just turn his nose up at it, but then wolf down any "real" food that may be around. Little booger.
