    Right - I'll be sending healing vibes to Barky to help her paw heal.:o
    You're brave - I'd never in a million years be able to perform my own work!
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hi everyone - just a quick read and run. I'm in between a cleaning job and and a volunteer job. Came home to check the kitten!
    No wonder no one was on-line last night - wish there was something I could say. . .
    Gonna drag my weary carcass back out now - I like the volunteering but would much rather snuggle up on the sofa for an hours kip!!

    (((Paw))) No, wasn't full moon last night - next one is 2nd November. Dunno what was wrong with them all last night; even mine was a bit pre-occupied, and that really is unusual.
    Better tonight, perhaps? Hope so.:o

    I know the feeling - but Molly has that "I'd love a run round in the field and a game of fetch the ball" look on her face.:D

    Hello UNI7ED - I couldn't see any other posts recently from you (Haven't read the whole thread!!) Is this your first post here? I lurked here for a bit then had the courage to post!
    Bummer - no sleep! What have you tried? You mentioned your mum. . .

  • I just thought I'd stick my head in and say "hi". I have just got around to registering on this site. I also suffer with depression but it's kept pretty much under control with meds.

    Hope you all have a good weekend and enjoy your extra hour in bed :D

    I did have a thread on here that developred into a huge slanging match between me and the rest of the world.

    The gist of it was/is I applied for a grant to see my mum who is dying of cancer, got turned down becuase it was deemed low priority and because I am estranged from here becuase I havent seen her since 2001 due to my disabilities.

    So I just thought i would post on this thread, not after sympathy, just to let my feelings out.

    I just hope that this thrad is not hijacked by the people who turned my last thread into that slanging match, as depression is a horrible thing to suffer from.

    I would just like to send my love and thoughts to everyone on this thread suffering from this and hope everyone can get out of the huge blackhole of depression.
