Hello all and happy birthday Toto!

I've been to my daughter's Christmas play today.... one of the songs was so funny!:

"Mum said the tree would never fit
But Dad was having none of it.
He squished it and squashed it and squushed it through the door
Then pushed it in the living room and nailed it to the floor!
Oh dear me."

blimey, everyone is quiet.

I'm quietly AQA'ing whilst OH sorts himself out, he is brush washing at the moment and I can announce that all walls have a coat of paint on :T The colours are really nice, the chimney breast is a lovely mid brown suede colour. I am guessing he will be up to do a second coat in the morning before the carpet fitters arrive as it is a bit patchy but, on the whole, I'd say 90% done.

Hi BB - I love the creamy suede colours they are lovely warm colours arn't they?
I bet you can't wait for the new carpet.

I love the smell of a new carpet and the feel on your toes when it's all springy and new!

Is the painting going in there pride of place?

the smell and feel of new carpet is lush.

Charlie is going to have pride of place above my desk. I spend a huge amount of time in here so when he is framed he will go in here. He is currently out 'on loan' to his 'Dad', I said he could have it for a few weeks, I'll take it back when I get around to getting a frame. It's already mounted so should be easy enough to sort out.

Snaggles, hope everything goes ok - I'm sure it will do as I know you both want this to work, but you know where I am if you want to chat.

Thanks hunny, I think we're managing to sort things and we're still seeing each other on Friday. :j

I've realised I really do have to do something about my lack of confidence though, because I've spent so long believing I'm not pretty enough/thin enough/interesting enough/sexy enough etc that I now can't accept that this really sexy guy wants to be with me.

The running was making me more confident but I haven't been able to go, and probably wont be able to run again really until my treadmill arrives after Xmas. I think I need to do something before then though.

I could do SW or WW but it's so difficult over Xmas and I'm sure I would just fall straight off the wagon and then feel worse, so I think exercise is the way to go. Walking bores me senseless unless I actually have somewhere to go though, and I'm trying to do exercise dvds but they're so dull. It doesn't help that someone said something nasty about me via an anonymous app on Facebook yesterday too - obviously I don't know who, but having a friend who would b*tch behind my back like that isn't a nice feeling, especially when I don't know who it is.

I'm worried about money too, I seem to have spent so much lately, have almost no savings apart from sharesaves I can't access, and I think I'm finding it scary that now I'm on my own, if I get myself into a mess, there's only me can get me out of it.

I think tomorrow needs to be a 'pulling myself together' day. Sorry about the long ramble, feel loads better for getting it off my chest though lol!

Helloooo

Hugs Snaggles :grouphug:

We seem to share the same issues hun. As you know, I have very little confidence, and it took me a very long time to trust DH. One day I'll tell you about the !!!!!! he went through with me in the early days. I was awful to him, but luckily he stood by me

Hi Snaggs,
keeping my fingers crossed for you babe!

The so called 'friend' who was !!!!!ing needs sympathy for feeling so insecure that she needs to push others lower than herself to try to make herself look better. Those sort of people suck out your self esteem and energy, you don't need them!

If you are feeling down, give yourself a spa treatment to make yourself feel good , you know the routine, I've mentioned it loads of times on these forums, when I'm stuck in or feeling down I'll do the full body scrub, deep hair conditioning, all over moisturising, manicure and pedicure and then watch a favourite feel good film and enjoy a nice glass of sparkling wine - TOP TIP- Tesco Griffith Park sparkling Rose is £3.49 a bottle and is scoring very highly in industry tastings according to my wine rep sister!
