Evening all, Nice to hear from you Tiff xxx.

As the day went on the better I felt just wish I could pin point why I feel like this IYKWIM.

DD had her 1st b'day party this afternoon,its her friends from pre-school and she acted so big and grown up bless her, she only a wee dot (3 in March) she didnt want me to stay with her.
I cant believe how grown up she is, why couldnt she stay being " My baby" for a bit longer?

Hugs to you Rosepink xxx

Take Care Sarah xx

Hi gario!
Oh sweetie - what a carpy start to the New Year for you - triple Tiffy hugs coming up!
Having said that hunnie, the New Year is still fresh and new beginnings can be made still.

I'm so sorry to hear your news, angel. You're such a determined little survivor if the past is anything to go by, and I'm glad at least, that you've got somewhere to go and work as well. Your life seems a series of adventures angel - I can't keep up. Making me worry about you like that!

If I can find any information, I'll let you know. I have missed you muchly - try and post again when you're on your feet hunnie.
Good luck with everything, sweetie. Keeping you in my thoughts as always.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Morning all

On a very upbeat note, did anyone else read (or has it been mentioned already?) that today is supposed to be the most depressing day? I was only half paying attention so might have only got half the gist of it though!

Got to do the shopping, only got DD2 to take with me this week so 50% less bad, although she did get lost in the supermarket last week :o:o

OH had a meeting this morning at work about possible redundancy - it's been all I can think about over the weekend. We were hoping he'd find out one way or the other today but it seems not - he got told the situation and they need to get rid of a couple of people and they'll know by next week. So another week in limbo, it's a real pain as we have been looking for a bigger place and can't really go ahead with anything (we saw a place we liked but then found out about the work situation so have held off on doing anything.) Absolutely petrified about spending any money too, we're going to be in a very awkward situation if OH *does* get made redundant being as I'm 4 weeks off my due date and can't see anyone wanting to employ me in this state!!!

Not sure what kind of day today will be, I feel a bit anxious, not got anything to go out of the house for except shopping, have been going out to a handful of playgroup-type things locally which have been nice for DD2 but the next one's not until tomorrow. I'm trying to focus on the small stack of papers I've collected regarding sorting out some money stuff. Nothing bad, fortunately it's the opposite and I might be able to get back some money I'm owed.

Hope everyone is well - going to brave the supermarket in a little while so wish me luck!!!

Hi guys!
I hope we're all as well as we can be today.
Well as you can see, I'm still posting - I haven't been black-pawed just yet! (Haven't got the other...think about it!)
I didn't really have any business posting my opinion yesterday so thank you for your words of support guys. Thanks also to gem, beth, tpm and katie-tulip for your kind words.

I know just how much this thread can help people and we do make a difference. Unlike mental ill health itself, this thread really does have to be 'one size fits all' and because of that, we do have to be careful. As I said, there needs to be a certain degree of care because it's not only about how someone may write a post, but also how someone else may read it. It's a huge responsibility. We can't take any chances that someone might end up very poorly, or worse, because of something that was suggested in a post. We really are all in our own unique situations here but somehow, it works.

When all is said and done, we are guests here. I'm very grateful for this thread and I know it helps me and other people in various ways.
I know I sit here making what must seem to be very daft and touchy-feely completely batty cat posts, but I choose this format because it can help to break the ice for newcomers and makes it easier sometimes to get difficult information across to people.
Having said that, I wonder how many others I've scared off with my Tiffy-type posts?! It also shows I've got no life!

We are lucky to have what we have here and it does the job to the level that it's meant to, with no harm caused. Poor glad and savvy - go on, hug a board guide today! Much more of this and they'll be sending a thread guide to monitor us closely and I'll never get away with posting my cat piccies then!

Good luck out there jo hunnie - take no prisoners! Best wishes for everyone to have a lovely day.
Right that's me ready for my catnap. I'll shut up now!:D Got so much to do so I shouldn't really, but feeling very tired. Need to stretch these old bones and try and relax.

I'll try and get back later if I can guys.
Be kind to yourselves.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
