  • Evening all.

    *hugs* to everyone that needs them.

    I'm not really excited at the prospect of Xmas but I'm excited about seeing people's reactions to the pressies OH and I got them.

    I'm used to spending Xmas on my own, so it's a new thing to be around people.


    so far hubby has liked his pressies i got him, feelign a bit sick at the prospect of mums and dads and grandmas and grandads not liking theirs heres hoping!
  • hope everyone has as happy a christmas as possible

    I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but it's something that has been getting to me for a few days. Everytime someone new joins this thread I panic. After what happened before with the troll I constantly worry it's someone wanting to have a go. I have started having panic attacks again (Not had one for ages)
    I know it's stupid I just can't help myself.
    Not stupid at all Sandy; I'm a bit like that myself, specially in RL. If we get another troll at some point, just use your Ignore option and let it all wash over you. HTH.

    I only came online briefly to check a couple of bills (as you do) but thought I'd stop by to wish everybody a good holiday weekend (as you probably know, as a Pagan I don't really "do" Xmas)

    Peace and light to you all.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Happy Christmas everyone, I hope no one minds but it is comforting to know that others are also not really in the festive spirit. Really not looking forward to an afternoon of relatives ... :o

    A special thought for those who are no longer with us, but have enriched our lives in so many ways, and will continue to do so in our memories.

    Now I'm blubbing! Thinking of you all today x
    Gone ... or have I?

    thanks, its always really nice to know people care

    We do care and I know that life can be difficult.

    I lost my friend to suicide 3 year's ago and I hope that nobody has to go through a similar loss.

    I attended meetings after his death arranged by S.O.B.S. the amount of people upset at them meeting's due to losing a loved one has made me decide that I can not inflict that pain on anybody else.

    Take care crazy girl, I will log in daily to see how you are doing x x

    this has gotta be the worst xmas ever, today is just dragging by, so painful to be alone this time of year. felt suicidal earlier, but couldnt do that to my kids not today of all days

  • Shazrobo sorry your having a bad time. You've shown courage for staying up for the sake of the kids, its so easy to go back to bed. Your bf may be with his family but he will go back to you.
    I see every Christmas as my last as they will send me away - but that's my paranoia kicking in.

    not sure that bf will be back, sent him a couple texts and numerous calls, but he has ignored them all, perhaps i'm better off alone, least that way no one can hurt me, more than i can hurt myself
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)
